    Having Kevin covering the nuts and bolts side and Cleet covering the driving side of the event really compliments each other and gives us fans the whole picture. Great work guys! Almost like being there.

    With the amount of water that was being dumped on the track every pass from a lot of cars, getting a somewhat clean pass is a success. You have built a clean, solid hotrod and it shows. I’ve seen a lot of guys with new builds wear out a couple sets of slicks before the car makes a clean pass.

    @adamprice155 3 года назад +4

    Kevin is a true gem to youtube, his over all demeanor and professionalism only add to his skill in the craft of fast cars. Cleetus made 100% right choice in putting his cars in Kevin's hands. Mullet is gonna be one hell of a unit once Kevin gets some non drag week tune time. But the dedication it take to do a full on car angle change in a parking lot to squeeze every bit of stability and time out of the short track after gear change is what makes KSR the real deal.

    Like Kevin said you don't wheel with radials or at least you don't unless you have some big ole coconuts.
    To be able to turn in two slips with decent times at a so so condition track after changing gearing is not an easy task.

Sadly a bit of C has forced me to abandon her.....but.....but if I come out swinging I'm tracking it down and sending it your way. After watching yalls Midwest drag week videos over on the other channel, I'm beyond impressed with your work. And that color of this Él mean-ó, is the exact color I would have slapped on the ole grocery getting sleeper brick. Good work man....
