Tom Bailey had a devastating fire in the braking area at the NHRA Gatornationals. Drag racing isn't easy, with all the crashes, accidents, and fires that can occur - but thankfully Tom got out okay.
Also in this video, we fix wheelie bars with a pickup truck.

that was hard to watch. glad it wasn't worse, tom! thanks for sharing so we can all learn from this.
who let you out of the basement? get back in there till you finish c10trosity.
@@jakemallory4239 😂😂
Careful tom road kill is looking for there next project! 😂
Yep. Do not panic. Pull the fire safety lever.
@@jakemallory4239 you must not have watched the latest video cause i'm driving that beast now.
This video is a real testament to the hard work and experience the safety safari brings to the team as well as Tom being able to remain calm enough to safely get himself from the vehicle. Excellent job to all involved and look forward to seeing you all back on track!
I agree . That NHRA safety safari don't mess around !
Sorry man. Glad you got out quick.
Glad he got the seatbelt loose and it's crazy that happened.

That actually took a lot longer than I would have liked 0.0
Here after Cleetus’s video today. Crazy, glad you were fine though man!
All that matters Tom is that you and the others are ok also good luck on the beast mode camaro
Thanks. We'll be back.
@@sickthemag fkn bet you will MR Tom Bailey...sorry to see this happen mate.....but from what ive learnt of you over the years....your a stubborn son ova gun...hope you got something you can pull out ya ass mate cause you dont srem to be a sane man without some ridiculous monster under your ass...yeehaa brother god bless to you and your team see you soon sir
I have to give you credit.. you were SO CALM while gettin ready to exit, even that snag from the seat belt. You didn’t overreact, panic, you just did what you've done a million times... get out!
Lies.
It’s easy to get excited so your right he did amazing

Glad you're ok. 👍
Topic for bench talk
Mad props to NHRA or whoever it is that organized this event having so much safety personnel on site today!! Makes me very happy
I really appreciate you including the medical eval in the video and then explaining what went wrong. Learning experience for me and maybe a few others. Glad you are ok. Rebuild and keep kicking ass!
My heart skipped a beat watching him get out of that thing while it was on fire.
Sorry man. Great to see how quick the Safety team was there. Glad you are ok
Next episode off deboss garage "everything wrong with a Steve Morris motor" lol j/k nothing is wrong with those.
15 cent o ring caused 50k of damage. The fire suppression never had a chance with the fuel tank explosion and fuel spray everywhere. Your safe Tom and that's what matters. Everything else can be rebuilt.
I have no doubt as much as you love this sport that this car will be back in action sooner than expected and better than ever.
Everything on this car is so well laid out and engineered to perfection. The o ring had to be a tough pill to swallow. Keep doing you. With a sense of humor like that in the face of adversity how can you lose! Go beast mode!!
Its was a o-ring that blew up the space shuttle. Glad you didn't blow up. Happy you and everyone is safe.
The O Ring on the space shuttle was a little bigger than this one and a lot more important.
An o-ring nonetheless.
@Bob Watters the o ring in the space shuttle claimed 10ish human lives and resulted in the loss of a billion dollar space craft.
@@BKetch well, herpes, it's still a useful comparison. Get over it.
@@BKetch: Richard Feynman used a glass of ice water to demonstrate that the o-ring material's properties changed at low temperature. This revealed that the material had not been thoroughly tested, and I'm sure the spec for o-rings nowadays lists a few more tests.
Glad you weren’t hurt! The car can be fixed.
I know I'm repeating someone but that car can be fixed or replaced. Glad you made it out with zero issues to race another day.
Glad ur OK. For a guy watching the car go up in flames, u got one hell of a positive attitude!! Sure was hard to stomach!! Looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos.
20:25 minus the little seatbelt hiccup, its nice to see a competent emergency response crew. GJ guys
That was probably the best tasting Bud Light in history lol
I went with some people to a race once that got all excited when crashes happened. I shamed them a bit telling them, "Guys, this isn't like NASCAR. These people put their lives into this."
So sorry this happened. There is one bright side besides you being okay. Me and a lot of others will watch every second of the rebuild videos you post, and will be cheering twice as hard for your return.
God Bless.
Pretty even keel on explanation , thorough explanation, of all events involving the fire . Most of us would be throwing stuff and visibly upset. Pretty humble guys i respect that
As Cleetus once said, Never stay in, if you notice something unusual, first pop was a good sign.
I bet y’all will have the car back up and running very soon. Glad your okay man
Glad that you caught it in time Tom being that close to the safety team, I just started following you all the time now. But I wasn’t expecting you to give me a show like that so fast💨 I’ve seen you do some hits here and there but I just seen a 5.77 hit at 260 mph and I said to myself that I needed to start following you because you’ve have been so stupid fast 💨 I was amazed how you and your team were so together and fast just about ever time you go out to make a hit, I’m just glad that you got out of the car safe, because if it’s anything like our dirt racing fire is a driver’s worst fear. You can always replace the car, but you can never replace (you) the driver. Look forward to seeing you knock down some more of them stupid fast time’s again soon. Thanks for sharing your super fast life with me/us as your fan’s Tom you’ve definitely gained one from the dirt racing world.🙏🏁🇺🇸👏
Thanks to Finnegan's Garage for showcasing your fire and the resulting new suppression system you will use. I am glad I found your channel. what makes me even happier is seeing that all of the safety measures in place kept this from being a bigger tragedy. In the 80's and 90's while I was still immortal and invincible I started my career as an automotive machinist in a small local shop here in Portland OR. We of course built licker dicker grocery getter engines but our hearts were in racing. I love to see the safety in place now compared to then. We tragically saw more than one driver seriously injured and worse. I love drag racing but never want to see anyone hurt. I will be watching to see what you do with your "go" in the future. So far I love the content.
Gosh DANG IT man....finally get the RUclips channel up and running and this happens...thats brutal. Glad you're okay. At least you have some content to rebuild it! Tough freaking break...
Glad you got out without injury and I'm hopeful you guys are able to fix and improve. Thanks for sharing
very glad that you got out safe.cars can always be replaced but a life you cannot replace.
Wow Tom. I raced for 15 years and I don’t think I could have been that calm. Glad you are fine and I’m sure you will be back better than ever. Keep the great work and channel.
"So obviously whatever" Tom Bailey 2021 🤣👍
It's amazing a 30-cent part can damn near cost you your life glad to see you got out and doing well
The car can be replaced, you can’t Tom! Glad you made it out ok. This should be a wake up call to everyone racing without a fire suit, fire suppression, sound firewall, appropriate fuels systems etc.
Most calm and humble person I have ever seen. Glad to see you are well after this. When the doctor asked you if you smoked and you replied No, but I did just smoke a pack all at once, lol, What a beast.
Glad you're safe Tom. Looking forward to seeing her fixed up and ready to go again!
He will be back faster than ever!!!! There is no quit in Tom Bailey!!
Some scary stuff! Glad you kept your cool! Can't wait for your new Nomad to get done, that is going to be an awesome ride. I love fast wagons, my favorite.
Thank you for showing this in its entirety, it's really a good example of how fire suits and protection can save your ass. People don't realize how long it takes to get out of a race car fully strapped in, especially when its on fire. Glad youre okay, and the car didn't get too fucked up. ❤️
Glad he’s okay! Was one of my favorite cars after seeing him run circles at the Freedom Factory. Hopefully it’ll be rebuilt soon!
I love how fast the safety safari dudes jump on that fire to save the car. If that were a house, in my experience, they would arrive at the scene, set up a perimeter, lay out all their gear, talk it over with the captain, then put out whats left of the fire.
Outstanding call ,Tom. Stopping where you did,it was the first thing i noticed when i viewed the footage.Right where the safari was. Our brother Tom Bailey is American Made. He performs at his best under pressure,just like his turbo's. 🔥
Tom were so glad you got out ok and didnt get burnt. That is the one thing that absolutely scares the crap outta me and my family. We only run mid 8s in the 1/4 but still man Fire is Fire....maybe this will help, just showed the video to our Son and without hesitation he paused a second then says oh hell Dad, tell Mr.Tom that will buff right out...and be good as new ! God bless the enthusiasm of youth. Hope to see you soon Tom.
Randy & Tracie Hill and Family
This video really shows that keeping your "cool" in situations like this is the difference between life and death or serious injury. Thank you for posting this and I'm glad you're alright. Can't wait to see the in-depth coverage and rebuild. Subscribed!
Glad you made it out of there safely Tom! Just goes to show, an o-ring can take down the space shuttle and race cars
I was thinking the same thing
Glad you left the word with the doc in the video to educate people! Not many people know, and too many try to play the hero joking about it, but the delayed reaction to inhaling smoke gasses can be really serious, especially later when the doc isn't around anymore.
Good to see you were lucky to escape quick enough. I bet that made you think about practicing bailing out. Maybe some others that watch this start to practice an emergency bail out.
I think the scariest part of this level of racing is the invisible flames. You see other racers on RUclips not wearing fire suits. I think its a disaster waiting to happen. I remember John Force being on fire after he got out all you can see is slight blue flame if any at all was a slight blue flame. Invisible flames dangerous. Glad your okay Tom. Stay rocking.
and this is why Mullet is getting a serious fire system and why its going to spray Garrett directly
Glad you’re ok. Makes me think about trying to practice escape my car blindfolded to make sure I can get out in case I experience that. Prayers
As a person that got messed up by an on the job accident I am soooo glad to see you walked away from that. Safety equipment and people working around you make all the difference in the world. When any one of those fail in their duties is when people get hurt. Came here from your video with Alex Taylors video with the Nomad build and saw this.. Again glad you walked away unscathed.
Great that you're ok, Tom. Huge respect to you guys for total transparency and the detailed post-mortem on the incident. Awesome response from the Safety Safari.
Glad you're good brother, big ups to the safety team for helping out.
James Taal after having all his injector issues 👀👀
Oof
First thing I thought about to man !!
Please plug that firewall James...
OMG!! We read the headline, knew there was going to be a fire but until we saw the incar, Tom struggling to get the car shut down, wheel off, net down and door open all the while the flames were growing in intensity MY HEART and breathing STOPPED! We could almost feel the fear Tom felt yet he did his best to not panic, he knows what to do but my bet until a pilot has to experience that firsthand they cannot possibly appreciate the absolute fear a driver goes thru. Every pilot of these incredible cars, when asked what scares them the most it's FIRE. Fire will take your life in a heartbeat IF you don't do your best to not panic. Tom was rite on the edge o being overcome with smoke, I mean another split second and he may not have gotten out. The Safety Safari were there BUT the fire was already incredibly hot, smoke was everywhere, Tom had to hold his breath, maintain his composure, fight back the panic and go through the steps in his head and focus on completing each step precisely and deliberately. He was lucky. The fire suppression IMHO should have done a better job. I'm guessing once Tom goes back to work on this car, it may be next year,, he'll make damn sure the fire suppression system is RIGHT! We so sorry Tom you lost your pride and joy BUT you're safe. The car - should you rebuild - can be replaced.
Its so awesome seeing people care about the person over the car. Glad you're okay Tom.
Glad you are alright, a good reminder to practice getting out of the car in a hurry every once in a while
And pulling the fire bottle safety pin before starting the car.
@@bobroberts2371 are all you guys sure that’s how it works? I’m not arguing it just seems like as long as you know to pull the pin then it’s a lot safer then tire shake setting it off at 150mph plus and blinding the driver ? I truly don’t know
@@jasonsparshott7208 I posted this in another section and will repost here:
Race cars that use a mechanical trigger system that conceptually is a hand held type bottle with a remote valve trigger and tubing to direct the agent to different areas in the car. There are some electrical trigger systems but I'm not sure if they can be had with a heat sensor. I don't know of any race car system that is tied into shutting down the cars systems. Most race cars have an easily accessible battery shut off though.
In a race car, the safety pin should be out any time the driver is in the car and headed to the track because the chance of a crash and / or fire is much greater than anywhere a wall hanging portable fire extinguisher would be located. It takes enough force to pull the handle that accidental actuation while the driver is in the car isn't likely. Now, if someone is crawling around in the car and snags the handle, the bottle could go off.

@@bobroberts2371 ok thanks bud I honestly didn’t know ! But I do know that Cooper had to pull his at T2K21 and it shut ignition and fuel !
I hate that we all started getting these videos recommended over the last few days and then today we hear about this! Here’s to a speedy rebuild and to be back better than ever!
Just tripped over this channel yesterday!! Only the second video I've watched! I'm in!! Glad you're ok. For what it's worth,, the paramedic that was doing your evaluation was amazing!!! His concern for your lungs,, and explaining it like a man, to a man who just went through an inferno,,, mad props to him!!! I very much admired that. Best of luck,, I subscribed!!
For sure, coolest Doc ever
Only started to follow Tom and the Team 5 weeks ago and this happens! But I am so glad you are ok!
Damn man glad you're ok, everything else can be replaced.
I’d be good with never seeing anything this cool again.
Glad you’re okay, and that your sense of humor remains intact...
Well put. It’s only cool because he’s alive. And I’m alright not seeing this cool again
Hey Tom, I am very glad to see that you are Okay and came out of that with no injuries other than to your car. Doc was exactly right about delayed response comment, I was in a terrible fire with my wife and oldest daughter when she was less than a year old in 1991, we took in a ton of smoke, black tongue, nasal passages, Synge hair everywhere, coughing up black soot etc. we had to jump off a second story roof, needless to say me and my wife ended up at ER by end of day with 2 day stay in hospital and let me tell you when they have to take blood to check oxygen it’s painful because it has to come from a main artery which is deep in the arm to find, that’s one thing I remember well. So yes the doctor was right, if you are ever in a fire and take in smoke but feel ok please know that a delayed effect can happen hours afterwards in our case 8~10 had passed. I just wanted to share this to possibly help someone.
Glad you're okay man. It's funny how literally a part that costs pennies can cause massive failures. Sorry for the loss, but the most important thing is that you made it out. The car can be replaced, but you can't and that's all that matters!
"Street car,...no. But it is good to dream." I hope Tom and the car will be back soon.
This one hurt my heart but I am so thankful you were safe!
That is a hard one to take. I was at Drag week at VMP. Met you on Day 1 and the final day. I knew something was gonna be special when Pro Nitrous Champion and Track owner Tommy Franklin backed you up. Cars can be replaced, you can't. Glad you were safe.
It's always a damn o-ring! Glad you made it out quick and safely, and that new paint job looks kind of wicked
Heart breaker Tom. Glad you're OK. Y'all will be back on that horse in no time!
I only thumbed this up for the algo, I hate this. Thank God you’re ok, I hope you are well and I bet your next build is even crazier.
That doctor was such a close talker lol, I don't know if he was trying to listen for wheezing or something, but damn dude get out of my space. I'm so sorry to see that happen to your baby, but really glad you made it out safely.
One of the nicest groups sharing their Awesome abilities and a car we all know!
Not even gonna lie watching the last video of you taking on and off that fire suit after every run I was like he’s so used to it but it keeps him safe!
Followed your and the cars exploits at Drag Weeks from the UK for the last few years, this wasn't an easy video to watch. Hope you get her fixed and back in the fives where she belongs.
Glad you are ok Tom. Tough one to watch. A perfect example of why experience matters. Seeing the safety crew and stopping as close to them as possible shows amazing mental awareness. A very important lesson for all race drivers and rescue crews, reaction times matter at the tree and all the way down the track. This is an excellent video to remind everyone just how important the safety equipment is, yes it is expensive and most of the time a pain in the butt, except when you need it. So glad you are alright. Thanks for sharing this video.
Damn can we just take a second to appreciate how fast the NHRA and fire saftey guys put that fire out !!! Well done guys !!! Gutted Tom the new car is epic though !!
that was scary to watch when the seatbelt didn't release initially. glad you made it out okay !
Why didn't you pull the fire suppression? I saw the pin still in it.
That’s what I wanna know I just came from good ol cleters video of mullet and I honestly was hoping to see the fire suppression systemic action to know our giraffe is safe in mullet but alas no suck luck. Sad to see the car take a leave of absence but relieved to see Tom doesn’t have to
Mad respect for keeping your composure. Sorry about the car, good to see you walk away
Dang man, just started following you right before Gator Nats, glad your ok. Look forward to seeing the car back on the track.
I've been following you and that car for a while man i do Rocky mountain race week and Drag week myself too and I know this is probably the last thing you want to hear right now but you can always build another car over time but you can't build another Tom keep your head up man it's one the worst part of the game but things can only get better now
That car was a fucking legend. Prayers
Good to see you got out quick enough. Be safe!
Glad you weren’t hurt! Thank god for all the safety equipment!
You know Tim McAmis is going to give you hell for having that pin in the fire handle right? lol
Blew my mind. Rookie move. 200 mph pass with the pin in.
Tom is a well spoken likable guy so it is difficult to hammer on him too much however, pulling the fire pin should be part of the racing procedure. My car has the fire pull on the dash and the safety pin blocks the ignition toggle switch from moving making it impossible to run the car with the safety pin in.

Yes the pin should have been removed no excuse, but the primary trigger on this system is electronic and worked out perfectly, as you can hear in the video from about 17:20 the pshhhhh sound of the bottle going off.
@@jamesbryan88 was wondering how it got activated as I could hear it but could also see the handle with pin in it
@@andrewgrant3470 I'm not sure, I didn't see him press any buttons so there must be a failsafe on the car somewhere, but the system definitely went off from what I saw.
Methanol fires sound and look evil. Everything about them screams that you're in lethal danger but yet you can't see it.
The windshield curdling was eerie af.
glad your ok Tom! and now you and the car are back better than ever! A similar seal caused the space shuttle challenge to explode on ascent way back when, crazy how small and cheap of a part can cause a disaster. Keep up the incredible content!
Happy you got out in time! Didn't look like you panicked. Smooth and easy! I live 10 minutes from Steve Morris engines! Guy is a magician!
Glad your safety equipment performed correctly, Tom. We're already waiting for 3.0
Like leaving the safety pin in the fire bottle pull ? See 4:15 , above the drivers right shoulder, red t handle is the fire pull , the blue strip is the fire safety pin.

@@bobroberts2371 I thought the pin remained in to prevent a 200mph face full of fire suppression on accident . Just like every fire extinguisher isn’t sitting there with the pin out ready to let roll with no safety . I honestly don’t know the deal on drag car fire suppression systems but I do know commercial kitchen hood suppression and they are armed but can’t be set off with out removing pin . They do have a pin release solenoid that when a certain temperature is reached a cable pulls the pin automatically and another cable and solenoid activate the suppression along with other safety’s like shutting gas and electrical off and killing fresh air make up .

Your definition of "Street Car" and mine are different, glad everyone is ok, hope the car is back up and running soon!
Ever seen him pulling a trailer with it?
I do see what you are saying, but it is legal. You can see brake lights as he is staging and on the driver door you can see some kind of clip or dovetail "thing" for his mirror to mount. They drive it....drove it 🥴
It will be back, and I for one...hope they dont even paint it.😛

Omg that was REALLY HARD to watch! That car was Amazing.... Glad you are ok Tom! That’s what really matters
Holy crap that went up quickly good reflexes getting out of there.
Glad you're okay too bad about the car, but most of it is still there and can be salvaged.
It's crazy how important a simple o-ring can be in certain places.
That was so sad love that car it can hopefully rebuilt. Cause there is only one Tom baily
My only goal in life is to be as calm as Tom is after burning up $80k worth of stuff..........

Please explain
