This video made me miss my father so bad, he was a lot like you. Your son's are very lucky to have YOU teach them the old school way. Learning the knowledge base between your ears is better than any computer DATA collected. Common sense NO computer can learn, your awareness of the track and it's conditions are amazing. God Bless you and your family! Keep up the GREAT work YOU are doing and blessing US ALL with your experience and knowledge. Thank YOU
Thank God Your OK brother!! That was a Nasty one for sure!! It's a testimony to the safety of those cars, & how a good cage will absolutely save your life !! Soon as I seen you roll out of the car, stand up and raise your arms. I knew you were good !! 👍
Ol -Man I just want to say you are one hell of a person . Everyone can see the and compassion you have for people is off the chart . Also got a heart as big as all outdoors . Be careful as you start back to work . I'm a couple yrs older & I do excavating also . GOD BLESS you .
To SR., what you've shared with us is called "situational awareness". Being in the moment of any given situation to be able and change an outcome while it's happening is what made Jackie Stewart the incredible champion he was (forever will be!). Billy is the fastest person I've EVER seen on the light! He consistently leaves on everyone. The only way anyone will get ahead of him is with them guessing at it. And being around you & all the knowledge he quickly has become one of the better tuners. Sir, you've helped so many people openly, so all who choose to do so can fully enjoy the form of racing we feel the strongest passion for..Drag Racing! (Sunday, Sunday-- sorry, flashback! Been too long since my last wiff of nitro.) Thank for being able to see through eyes of another man! A beautiful & rare ability in today's world.
Very well said! That's it he's giving awareness and some tricks! He doesn't give all but that's racing. He will get you set up and you fine tune it. Every chassis is different and doesn't matter if you have a million dollars or a thousand you can still be fast. Spinnin ain't winnin!
SRC + Turbo John are a pair that can beat a full house any day. 2 of the best YT channels going, keep up the great work and also thank you both for all the knowledge you pass on.
I would rather see a driver truly know his vehicle, he's the traction control scramble button all in one and a true sportsman basically the same setup for over a half a century. Keep up the good work guys!
Good seeing you Bill, always awesome hanging out with ya'll. Got some good marks on the hood. Make sure to bring a rc car that can get some air this week, lol. See ya'll this weekend! And thanks for telling me before my pass about how quick the tree was, you were dead right! Good tips in this vid for sure!
Wise words indeed. It's a great thing that Billy has you looking out for him and coaching. I love the fact that you have taught him how to drive and handle a high powered vehicle. As you well know, back in the day it was all about driver's skill. All of this new tech stuff is what's soured me on racing. The best of luck to you all, and stay safe.
Coming from open wheel dirt racing, we had to look at the track change the gear when it dried up change the tuneup in the injectors I read in the plugs, no computer stuff on our race cars. That’s what makes you and Billy such a good team, he’s got great feel for the car you got the common sense and the calmness to remind him and he’s got a great head on your shoulders and listens to what your advice is. Him being so young I’m sure sometimes you just wanna shake your head because he probably doesn’t want to hear it all the time. But just sit down and talk to them and explain to him like you are too was why you do that is golden advice. You guys are awesome, especially you old man, we love your videos especially the ones where you explain your side of racing to us. That wisdom has brought success. And turbo John is a character and a great guy I follow him as much as I follow you. His little of shit box hauls ass.
Bill, as I said in Union, your videos are the Bible of S10 setups. I am sure someone can come up with a better setup with better parts. But we know that your, and Billy's, setup works! It gives us a baseline to improve from. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for all the info and help you put out. We went to our first no prep race a few weeks ago and applied a lot of what I learned from your videos to make some successful passes. We even hung with the MaMaw for a few feet 😂. I love what y’all do, y’all are the reason we decided to get into some no prep racing.
Man I sat around and wait for src and src garage to put out video's you guys are my favorite RUclips channel just a good family makeing it happen you guys are the best much love to you guys cant wait to see you guys again soon
Also wrote this on billy's video...Great video showed us which couldn't make it all the excitement and great racing and driving skill it took to get down that track keep up the great work been enjoying the consistent content even the vlog kinda a page out of the old mans book but im sure I speak for all we look forward to your vids no matter what the content consist of... Glad you and your family were able to return home here to ohio safe and sound as well as the truck I've been v8 swapping s10/ blazers with my dad since i was a kid making our own mounts and using what ever manifold or custom headers we could find back then i just finish my 01 2dr sbc 388 stroker holley sniper muncie 5 speed street truck have a 01 extreme im starting on next doing next finally the courage to try new tech going 6.0 Ls Holley management 2 speed th400 and turbo down the road once i learn a bit more about the tech stuff.. Almost gave up and thought about contacting the old man to see if he wanted this extreme when he thought tommy was gonna get rid of his but something he said in a video gave me the motivation to at least try to learn to ls swap thanks you to youn and your fam for all you do to keep the racing scene alive and growing more n more thanks to you and your family for all that yal do for keeping racing alive and growing! Much love from me and mine here in Cincinnati hope to meet you all at edgewater this year stay safe and stay the family yal are that we all love to watch...
Billy and the Old Man are awesome and always willing to help out their fellow man or woman I love everything they are God bless you guys looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend
The fact that the S10 is still carbed and the only thing that you have to study for data is replaying go pro footage focused on analog gauges(other than afr) & videos of the launch! Old man! You remind me a lot of my pops! He will he 65 this February and he might not be as knowledgeable in building race cars but his overall Mechanic abilities is endless it seems! Iv learned so much from him, saved so much $$$ thanks to him, and continue to benefit from what I've learned from him! Billy and Tommy are blessed to have a awesome pops like yourself
I love listening to Bills drag racing wisdom. Everything makes lot of sense and hes willing to share this knowledge free of tuition. You dont see Don Garlits giving out free knowledge learned the hard way! "Learn from other peoples mistakes" absolutely effin right! Big props ol man. 👍
The Old Man reminds me of my dad who passed away last May I think that's why I enjoy watching these video's so much. I mean him and my dad would be the guy's talking non-stop about motors and trucks my dad had a built 383 Stroker in a ol beat up Gmc S-15 I remember riding around in when I was knee high... Thanks for the constant reminder and thoughts of my father.
Really didn't think I would like this Chanel when I first watched a few weeks ago. For whatever reason I didn't think I would or why I do, but hats off to you and your family. Can't stop watching you guys. Love how you treat your fur babies.
Love this channel and the other...y’all are doin awesome in the racing scene and Sr. you are by far one of the coolest dads out there man I hope to do this when my son gets older 🤘🏼Badass man!!!
Bill, having you say these young guys that dont have their fathers or grandfathers anymore brought me to tears because its so relatable. I know you have a lot of people sending you messages and a lot of questions that come in on a regular basis. I watch a lot of the video's you and your boys put out. Your information videos really help me as someone who is alittle late bloomer coming into the street/no prep type of racing on a more serious level. With my grandfather recently passing and him being my only other car guy in the family, (besides my dad passing at a young age) I look to you guys as an outlet for that loss in my life. Ill keep trying to absorb the information you provide us watchers. Thank you Bill, I hope to meet you guys one day in 2021 down here in Nc. Maybe at Rockingham this weekend. God Speed Bill.
MAN U GREAT when u give out knowledge you’re helping thousands sum ppl wont share knowledge they want to sale it but as we all see you’re highly blessed and y’all my new fav new RUclips ppl ppl YALL so cool and down to earth
You guys keep the old school stuff out front! Your obviously doing something right to be in front of these newer cars,trucks these days, keep up the good work!
you speak a lot of sense and obviously care deeply,not for just your kin but for anyone you think you can help and that is great to see in a world so full of gread and self interest! maximum respect too you and all your family! God bless you all! from Nick the forrest flyer in England.
Old man its so good to see you and your family together you spending time together loving one another.I didn't have a Dad just a piece of shit to beat me as much as he could. Didn't have know time for me it all unless he wanted to beat on me for awhile it is so good to know that there is men out there who knows how to be a daddy. I wish I had one like you. Some time's you just half to spank them but you don't knock them on their ass and kick the shit out of them cause they feel down. I know some days you probably get pissed off at them but that is apart of life God bless you all Danny Tulsa Oklahoma 👌👍👊
Can never have too much wisdom. Ultimately wisdom is knowledge. Sir the smallest of things you do as you explained end up making the biggest differences weather it's a win or loss in the truck or in general day to day life. Cheers and god bless you and your family y'all are genuine people.
I grew up with a dad that loved old chevy's. Saturday morning's we would hit the wrecking yards looking for parts to fix up our 55, 57 and my 65 Impala. We did not race but dad staged cars at the drag strip. I still have parts from our adventures and memories forever. Love your sharing and passion for the car's and kid's.👍
I can definitely see why people are flocking to your channel and why people love your family. Even an idiot can see and feel the love you have for the sport and even more for family! I as a father/mechanic can definitely relate to the ol’man and am looking forward to putting together my truck to let the kids have some fun with. Keep up the good work my friend! Love and respect
Ive been "pit crewing" for my friends for years and ive alwayd told them....go race your race and dont worry about the other guy. Ive watched my friends beat themselves more often than not.
Words of wisdom and common sense from a great source that I know will save injuries, lives and vehicles. A lot of racers put everything they have into building a race car over years; time, money, blood, sweat and tears and it is very difficult to recover from. Myself, I have lost my Z-28 and 4x4 truck to fires and now I only have my daily driver. Great video once again and God Bless. Gaptize 'em this weekend!!
Last week this time was the best ever for me- this week is a very low point in my life bc I lost one of my most treasured friends that I cherish even more than drag racing which is my Dog' he is the very reason I've made huge accomplishments thru life he helped me thru hard times and days. I'm sure I was his everything also. As a part of life we find ways to deal with death and grief - I find you Bill and SRC Garage a form of recovery in both great times and bad times. Your family is a perfect scenario form of a most desired life and many people including myself watch for great desired lifestyle. Just remember Bill as you ask yourself why' we hold you as a great mentor -'you help us all in life as you do in racing even us the ones whom has raced forever, there's more to life than racing and you and the src family are living proof in all I've stated. Thank you so much sir.......
Watching these videos, it's what's bringing me back to racing, I appreciate everything y'all do, words can't even begin to explain, I wish I had family behind me like y'all do.
A closed up waterway becomes the Dead Sea. Because give and share...it shall not be returned to you void, new and useful material shall be given to you. May God continue to protect you and your family and give you wisdom in all you do and seek.
This video, is fine in a spectators eyes. There is no knowledge that is worthless and from what I know about any sport, hobby business or career knowledge is power.
As someone who's just getting back into it I'm nowhere near competing for at least one full season. What's helpful here are dozens of tips of solid points to practice and practice at test and tune as well as in my HEAD off the track. When all of this all of this becomes automatic, relaxed and in my bones, THEN I'll take the next step toward competition, however long that takes. One of the best informational videos I have ever viewed . Thanks for compass in the moment.
Your a great Dad Bill, nice to hear someone else with understanding and common sense, without a huge catch me if you can ego, Thanks for everything you have done for the racing community!!
Old man you don't give yourself enough credit. The world needs way more people like yourself I appreciate everything y'all do for the community. Keep up the good work🙏✌
I've watched every vid, and still touched by your ability to share the warmth of the relationship between you and your sons. the Knowledge you share is priceless, but the love you share is indescribably honest and personal. Thank-you and your family.
Ol man, u have the most purest passionate heart anyone could have, u of all ppl besides my wife n kids are the only one that can make me choke up a bit with ur kindness and beautiful soul u have, I really love this channel, thanks for all u do ol man, god bless ur heart and ur family🙏
Bill your videos have helped me a lot . I’ve almost got my ol truck ready to race with you guys and without your videos I’d really be lost on what to do in no prep. So from one of the guys your teaching and have never met . Thank you sir
Always appreciate people that give back. I think it’s our duty as humans to leave what we’ve learned to the generations below us. So thank you very much and God Bless.
I've learned so much from watching your videos, not only about the cars, but about life. You just gotta keep on keepin' on, and do the best you can and make the most friends you can while youre doing it. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you for putting out the videos you do.
You guys keep up the good work. You are as real as it gets. The OLD MAN reminds me of my own. A genius with a modest approach. .... Nothing but love and respect for you and yours. If only the rest of the world were like-minded.......
I love to see these videos. It's great seeing what a couple of my home town racers can do to help these young racers. I live in Florida now and don't see Bill and Billy as much as I did when we raced together but it's great to see how they are doing and how they're giving back to the racing community. I am proud to call you guys my friends!
Glad to see you guys and John link up. Turbo John has been one of my favorite RUclips channels for a long time. Just a genuine person I enjoy watching (like you guys!)
Explaining each race helps so much for us just getting into this. Each race had its own set of variables with a different outcome. I share these with my son who is a young driver. Thank you for sharing. (It’s not what you have it’s what you give)
Love this and your sons channel. Prayers for the girl that got hit by debris from the crash and the driver. I like how you say things and talk about how you knew the track was slick and you adjusted to it. Another camp that participated talked about how bad the track was and how it was too dangerous. I mean it's no prep. It's pretty black and white on track conditions. Keep the vids coming and kicking ass with that old school style small block 🙌
I personally feel like this "no-prep" game is really dangerous. I remember "street racing" over 20 years ago, when I got my license, and if you pulled up with a 10 second car, you were FAST. ...and those things were a bit "hairy". Cars are putting down so much power nowadays, I'm constantly finding myself clenching my butt cheeks harder than hell, watching these guys make the passes they do. Anyway, Love you guys! Keep up the GREAT work and stay SAFE!!
I lost my Dad back in 2019 toughest thing I've ever done... Spent many of days at the track with my Dad & plan to spend many more with my son! Thank you for sharing your "WHY" cause even when you're boys ain't paying attention it's clear you're loving them! I'll catch you guys at our home track Kil-Kare! Stay safe Keep the Shiney Side Up!
Your videos make the younger crowd with less money get into no prep. This year I’ll be stepping up from bracket racing to hard tire this year and can’t wait. See you guys at the track!
I've got a 11 year old son who loves anything with a engine and displays that no fear characteristic and I appreciate your sharing this knowledge so I can learn from you so hopefully I can get him something to go racing in here in the future
People gravitate towards you and your family Ben you are real down to earth people who are no bs and no I'm better than you attitude which is hard to find in this day and age
My local track is 5 mins from my house and you can believe that if somethings going on there even if my machine is down, I’m at the track by myself on the starting line collecting data and watching what people do. I’ve learned ALOT just by paying attention.
You and your family are good people. The attention your family gets, is well deserved. It’s weird because we feel like we know y’all. Like my wife and I could hang out or go to dinner with y’all or something like that. But that’d be kinda weird. I grew up at the race track. Pictures in diapers at Thompson Drag Raceway in 1978. I lost my father when I was 19. After that life just got crazy. When you have time you have no money. When you have no money do you have time. Life is crazy like that. My mom remarried. My stepfather was in research and development at Mr. gasket. He had a 64 Ford Fairlane thunderbolt nostalgia super stocker. He was 74 years old when he stop driving that car. He had prostate cancer and passed away at 76. He left behind a 69 Camaro. I was shocked when my mother handed me the title and said we need to go get this changed. That’s something that I think I don’t deserve. But everybody else thinks were crazy. I’m hoping to get to the track very soon. But again the time and money issue seems to arrive all the time. You guys need to come up north a little bit and hit up summit racing motorsports Park. The truck will fly down the track. Lace up your shoes tight before you walk out there type track. Thank you for all your help, knowledge, humor, and just all-around being a great person. And we will make it up to one of the races that you guys are at, and I will be one of those guys coming up and hugging you in tears. Much love from Medina Ohio. Just a hop skip and a jump a little north of y’all😜
This info can save your life. All the power on the world means nothing if you can't tune to the track. When it takes a 1000hp just to be a player these days, one mistake and ya dead. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy watching your channel everyday. You keep the faith in me. Im very sick with stage 4 liver disease and hardly have any hope, but you give me hope and a laugh. Thank you! And God Bless Yous!
Awesome video that anyone could tell it came from the heart to help not hurt.. After the last few years watching the Chanel and chanels yours, Molly's and now Tommy's. It was a pleasurable experience to finally meet all of you. Thank you
You and Billy are street racers when you can't go down the track without worrying about a computer you are no longer doing the same thing. Keep it up. I wish you all the best.
What can you do but just be a proud father! You seem to have raised a couple amazing young men which seems to be far and few between in the world these days!
My first thought when I saw the crash, got to learn when to abort the pass...It's hard to lift sometimes, but its even harder to be racing next week, when you don't have a car. SRC, SRC garage, SRC photo, are my 5, 9 and 12...who needs bs mainstream tv when you have options like this channel. Family oriented, apple pie, middle America, kinda stuff, representing real people, living, working, and having fun. Anyhow, I'm rambling, good stuff as always Bill. Good luck and safe travels from 513
Anyone that doesn't think that the ol man ain't smart as hell, that person is very foolish. That ol man is sharp!
This video made me miss my father so bad, he was a lot like you. Your son's are very lucky to have YOU teach them the old school way. Learning the knowledge base between your ears is better than any computer DATA collected. Common sense NO computer can learn, your awareness of the track and it's conditions are amazing. God Bless you and your family! Keep up the GREAT work YOU are doing and blessing US ALL with your experience and knowledge. Thank YOU
When you can master both you'd be unstoppable
" Learn from others mistakes, its free tuition" .... I like that, so true!
Billy acting like turbo John was great lol 🤣 had me laughing. Turbo John is one of my favorite channels along with y'all.
I was on the scramble at 1.5 in the run. We had a great time and we'll be back. Lots of great advice in this video! Thanks for the hospitality!!
Glad your ok! Thank God! You’ll go far in this sport!
@@mikestufano4961 thank you
Thank God Your OK brother!! That was a Nasty one for sure!! It's a testimony to the safety of those cars, & how a good cage will absolutely save your life !! Soon as I seen you roll out of the car, stand up and raise your arms. I knew you were good !! 👍
I never had a dad like the old man I was pretty much on my own my whole life and now I think I will go wipe some of these tears away SRC forever.
I'm with u on that one
100%
I toatally agree!!
True that bud. Billy and Tommy are lucky boys.
Love cheat codes videos. Old man is my hero. Brains behind the magic
Old man makes me smile every time. Love seeing your videos
Ol -Man I just want to say you are one hell of a person . Everyone can see the and compassion you have for people is off the chart . Also got a heart as big as all outdoors . Be careful as you start back to work . I'm a couple yrs older & I do excavating also . GOD BLESS you .
Agreed

this is showing the value of a good crew chief. simply hard to beat especially when it's your Dad. great video!
Your humility is admirable. I love how you are willing to help out anyone who asks.
SRC + Turbo John are a pair that can beat a full house any day. 2 of the best YT channels going, keep up the great work and also thank you both for all the knowledge you pass on.
The "Ol-Man" and Billy's right foot has been the "traction control" . 🤣😂🤣 Billy did the impression perfect.😂🤣
I would rather see a driver truly know his vehicle, he's the traction control scramble button all in one and a true sportsman basically the same setup for over a half a century. Keep up the good work guys!
This is experience talking plain and simple. Wise words from a wise man
Good seeing you Bill, always awesome hanging out with ya'll. Got some good marks on the hood. Make sure to bring a rc car that can get some air this week, lol. See ya'll this weekend! And thanks for telling me before my pass about how quick the tree was, you were dead right! Good tips in this vid for sure!
Turbo John is the coolest! 😄👍🏻
As an old timer myself l gotta respect how you adapted to this new technology 👍 myself 396 /4 speed 55 chevy
Great video as usual. The old man has one of the best down to earth relatable race/lifestyle channels on RUclips.
Wise words indeed. It's a great thing that Billy has you looking out for him and coaching. I love the fact that you have taught him how to drive and handle a high powered vehicle. As you well know, back in the day it was all about driver's skill. All of this new tech stuff is what's soured me on racing. The best of luck to you all, and stay safe.

You’re absolutely right. And I’m one of those men who appreciates the hell out of the information you share. Thank you.
Y’all are all awesome ppl!! Thank you and your family for sharing your life’s with all of us!
I agree with you 100% you all and turbo John are perfect examples of how to get the most out of what you have.
I just wanna say Bill you and yours restore my faith in "HUMAN BEINGS" bro "LOVE YALL"
Bill, as I said in Union, your videos are the Bible of S10 setups. I am sure someone can come up with a better setup with better parts. But we know that your, and Billy's, setup works! It gives us a baseline to improve from. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!

27:21 best thing I've seen all year. That driver crawling out from that mangled heap of twisted metal.
You and the team with billy in that s10 is just a deadly combo sheshhhhhh appreciate these vids 🤌🏽🔥
I love to come back to this video every once in a while! Amazing gems you have here, Bill! Thank you for sharing.
The fact that the S10 is still carbed and the only thing that you have to study for data is replaying go pro footage focused on analog gauges(other than afr) & videos of the launch!
Old man! You remind me a lot of my pops! He will he 65 this February and he might not be as knowledgeable in building race cars but his overall Mechanic abilities is endless it seems!
Iv learned so much from him, saved so much $$$ thanks to him, and continue to benefit from what I've learned from him! Billy and Tommy are blessed to have a awesome pops like yourself
I love listening to Bills drag racing wisdom. Everything makes lot of sense and hes willing to share this knowledge free of tuition. You dont see Don Garlits giving out free knowledge learned the hard way! "Learn from other peoples mistakes" absolutely effin right! Big props ol man. 👍
3 years later I come back to these videos, because I’m humble enough to know we all started somewhere. ❤❤❤
The Old Man reminds me of my dad who passed away last May I think that's why I enjoy watching these video's so much. I mean him and my dad would be the guy's talking non-stop about motors and trucks my dad had a built 383 Stroker in a ol beat up Gmc S-15 I remember riding around in when I was knee high... Thanks for the constant reminder and thoughts of my father.
Brother…. If I were to start racing in any shape form or fashion I’d be in your hip pocket. Smart but humble! Nothing but respect sir!
Really didn't think I would like this Chanel when I first watched a few weeks ago. For whatever reason I didn't think I would or why I do, but hats off to you and your family. Can't stop watching you guys. Love how you treat your fur babies.
NO R/C TRUCKS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO. turbo John is definitely one of my top viewed.
Man Bill, look how far you guys have came in the past couple of years. Absolutely incredible.
Love this channel and the other...y’all are doin awesome in the racing scene and Sr. you are by far one of the coolest dads out there man I hope to do this when my son gets older 🤘🏼Badass man!!!

MAN U GREAT when u give out knowledge you’re helping thousands sum ppl wont share knowledge they want to sale it but as we all see you’re highly blessed and y’all my new fav new RUclips ppl ppl YALL so cool and down to earth
You guys keep the old school stuff out front! Your obviously doing something right to be in front of these newer cars,trucks these days, keep up the good work!
you speak a lot of sense and obviously care deeply,not for just your kin but for anyone you think you can help and that is great to see in a world so full of gread and self interest! maximum respect too you and all your family! God bless you all! from Nick the forrest flyer in England.
It's nice watching these older videos and seeing how well your morals stayed with you and your family 👪. Very happy for the success you've earned
Absolutely LOVED this Video!!! I've watched it all the way through 3x now!
Thanks for the sharing..i grew up a cross the road from your dad and grandparents ...i was the kid sell sweet corn on state rd 16..
Old man its so good to see you and your family together you spending time together loving one another.I didn't have a Dad just a piece of shit to beat me as much as he could. Didn't have know time for me it all unless he wanted to beat on me for awhile it is so good to know that there is men out there who knows how to be a daddy. I wish I had one like you. Some time's you just half to spank them but you don't knock them on their ass and kick the shit out of them cause they feel down. I know some days you probably get pissed off at them but that is apart of life God bless you all Danny Tulsa Oklahoma 👌👍👊
Can never have too much wisdom. Ultimately wisdom is knowledge. Sir the smallest of things you do as you explained end up making the biggest differences weather it's a win or loss in the truck or in general day to day life. Cheers and god bless you and your family y'all are genuine people.
I grew up with a dad that loved old chevy's. Saturday morning's we would hit the wrecking yards looking for parts to fix up our 55, 57 and my 65 Impala. We did not race but dad staged cars at the drag strip. I still have parts from our adventures and memories forever. Love your sharing and passion for the car's and kid's.👍
I can definitely see why people are flocking to your channel and why people love your family. Even an idiot can see and feel the love you have for the sport and even more for family! I as a father/mechanic can definitely relate to the ol’man and am looking forward to putting together my truck to let the kids have some fun with. Keep up the good work my friend! Love and respect
The thing I love about you guys is how simple you make everything
Ive been "pit crewing" for my friends for years and ive alwayd told them....go race your race and dont worry about the other guy. Ive watched my friends beat themselves more often than not.
Words of wisdom and common sense from a great source that I know will save injuries, lives and vehicles. A lot of racers put everything they have into building a race car over years; time, money, blood, sweat and tears and it is very difficult to recover from. Myself, I have lost my Z-28 and 4x4 truck to fires and now I only have my daily driver. Great video once again and God Bless. Gaptize 'em this weekend!!
Last week this time was the best ever for me- this week is a very low point in my life bc I lost one of my most treasured friends that I cherish even more than drag racing which is my Dog' he is the very reason I've made huge accomplishments thru life he helped me thru hard times and days. I'm sure I was his everything also. As a part of life we find ways to deal with death and grief - I find you Bill and SRC Garage a form of recovery in both great times and bad times. Your family is a perfect scenario form of a most desired life and many people including myself watch for great desired lifestyle. Just remember Bill as you ask yourself why' we hold you as a great mentor -'you help us all in life as you do in racing even us the ones whom has raced forever, there's more to life than racing and you and the src family are living proof in all I've stated. Thank you so much sir.......
Watching these videos, it's what's bringing me back to racing, I appreciate everything y'all do, words can't even begin to explain, I wish I had family behind me like y'all do.
A closed up waterway becomes the Dead Sea. Because give and share...it shall not be returned to you void, new and useful material shall be given to you. May God continue to protect you and your family and give you wisdom in all you do and seek.
This video, is fine in a spectators eyes. There is no knowledge that is worthless and from what I know about any sport, hobby business or career knowledge is power.
As someone who's just getting back into it I'm nowhere near competing for at least one full season. What's helpful here are dozens of tips of solid points to practice and practice at test and tune as well as in my HEAD off the track. When all of this all of this becomes automatic, relaxed and in my bones, THEN I'll take the next step toward competition, however long that takes. One of the best informational videos I have ever viewed . Thanks for compass in the moment.
Your a great Dad Bill, nice to hear someone else with understanding and common sense, without a huge catch me if you can ego, Thanks for everything you have done for the racing community!!
Old man you don't give yourself enough credit. The world needs way more people like yourself I appreciate everything y'all do for the community. Keep up the good work🙏✌
I've watched every vid, and still touched by your ability to share the warmth of the relationship between you and your sons. the Knowledge you share is priceless, but the love you share is indescribably honest and personal. Thank-you and your family.
Ol man, u have the most purest passionate heart anyone could have, u of all ppl besides my wife n kids are the only one that can make me choke up a bit with ur kindness and beautiful soul u have, I really love this channel, thanks for all u do ol man, god bless ur heart and ur family🙏
Bill your videos have helped me a lot . I’ve almost got my ol truck ready to race with you guys and without your videos I’d really be lost on what to do in no prep. So from one of the guys your teaching and have never met . Thank you sir
gray hair is a sign of wisdom and you Bill have a lot of wisdom. Thank you for the video's there so awesome. God bless you and your loving family.
Always appreciate people that give back. I think it’s our duty as humans to leave what we’ve learned to the generations below us. So thank you very much and God Bless.
I've learned so much from watching your videos, not only about the cars, but about life. You just gotta keep on keepin' on, and do the best you can and make the most friends you can while youre doing it.
From the bottom of my heart, Thank you for putting out the videos you do.
You guys keep up the good work. You are as real as it gets. The OLD MAN reminds me of my own. A genius with a modest approach. .... Nothing but love and respect for you and yours. If only the rest of the world were like-minded.......
I love to see these videos. It's great seeing what a couple of my home town racers can do to help these young racers. I live in Florida now and don't see Bill and Billy as much as I did when we raced together but it's great to see how they are doing and how they're giving back to the racing community. I am proud to call you guys my friends!
Glad to see you guys and John link up. Turbo John has been one of my favorite RUclips channels for a long time. Just a genuine person I enjoy watching (like you guys!)
Thankyou Mr Bill. Keep doing what you do. Someday I will get a chance to meet you and the family.
Explaining each race helps so much for us just getting into this. Each race had its own set of variables with a different outcome. I share these with my son who is a young driver. Thank you for sharing. (It’s not what you have it’s what you give)
Some of the best content on RUclips, period.
Wow, you just held a scientific master class. Thank you :)
Love this and your sons channel. Prayers for the girl that got hit by debris from the crash and the driver. I like how you say things and talk about how you knew the track was slick and you adjusted to it. Another camp that participated talked about how bad the track was and how it was too dangerous. I mean it's no prep. It's pretty black and white on track conditions. Keep the vids coming and kicking ass with that old school style small block 🙌
Hey ol man, you definitely don't give yourself enough credit. You're doing a hell of a job raising those boys.
I personally feel like this "no-prep" game is really dangerous. I remember "street racing" over 20 years ago, when I got my license, and if you pulled up with a 10 second car, you were FAST. ...and those things were a bit "hairy". Cars are putting down so much power nowadays, I'm constantly finding myself clenching my butt cheeks harder than hell, watching these guys make the passes they do.
Anyway, Love you guys! Keep up the GREAT work and stay SAFE!!
So much great stuff in this. Safe workdays to ya Pop's !
Much respect to you for sharing hard learned lessons with others..good to see in this world again
I lost my Dad back in 2019 toughest thing I've ever done... Spent many of days at the track with my Dad & plan to spend many more with my son! Thank you for sharing your "WHY" cause even when you're boys ain't paying attention it's clear you're loving them! I'll catch you guys at our home track Kil-Kare! Stay safe Keep the Shiney Side Up!
Your videos make the younger crowd with less money get into no prep. This year I’ll be stepping up from bracket racing to hard tire this year and can’t wait. See you guys at the track!
Hay, Old man. You are real. Thank you for what you do. God bless, stay strong........... America
I've got a 11 year old son who loves anything with a engine and displays that no fear characteristic and I appreciate your sharing this knowledge so I can learn from you so hopefully I can get him something to go racing in here in the future
People gravitate towards you and your family Ben you are real down to earth people who are no bs and no I'm better than you attitude which is hard to find in this day and age
Your homegrown rig is as hardcore as any racing teams. Big respect for that and your down to earth lifestyle.
My local track is 5 mins from my house and you can believe that if somethings going on there even if my machine is down, I’m at the track by myself on the starting line collecting data and watching what people do. I’ve learned ALOT just by paying attention.
Love your videos Bill. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!!
These are awesome videos years of knowledge passed down. Ppl should be grateful
You and your family are good people. The attention your family gets, is well deserved. It’s weird because we feel like we know y’all. Like my wife and I could hang out or go to dinner with y’all or something like that. But that’d be kinda weird.
I grew up at the race track. Pictures in diapers at Thompson Drag Raceway in 1978. I lost my father when I was 19. After that life just got crazy. When you have time you have no money. When you have no money do you have time. Life is crazy like that. My mom remarried. My stepfather was in research and development at Mr. gasket. He had a 64 Ford Fairlane thunderbolt nostalgia super stocker. He was 74 years old when he stop driving that car. He had prostate cancer and passed away at 76. He left behind a 69 Camaro. I was shocked when my mother handed me the title and said we need to go get this changed. That’s something that I think I don’t deserve. But everybody else thinks were crazy. I’m hoping to get to the track very soon. But again the time and money issue seems to arrive all the time. You guys need to come up north a little bit and hit up summit racing motorsports Park. The truck will fly down the track. Lace up your shoes tight before you walk out there type track. Thank you for all your help, knowledge, humor, and just all-around being a great person. And we will make it up to one of the races that you guys are at, and I will be one of those guys coming up and hugging you in tears. Much love from Medina Ohio. Just a hop skip and a jump a little north of y’all😜
A saying from the FasterProms channel, "adap and over come". I believe you are correct that Turbo John is a great honest guy, love him.😎👍
Knowledge is everything the old man has lots of knowledge
This info can save your life. All the power on the world means nothing if you can't tune to the track. When it takes a 1000hp just to be a player these days, one mistake and ya dead. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy watching your channel everyday. You keep the faith in me. Im very sick with stage 4 liver disease and hardly have any hope, but you give me hope and a laugh. Thank you! And God Bless Yous!
Awesome video that anyone could tell it came from the heart to help not hurt.. After the last few years watching the Chanel and chanels yours, Molly's and now Tommy's. It was a pleasurable experience to finally meet all of you. Thank you
You and Billy are street racers when you can't go down the track without worrying about a computer you are no longer doing the same thing. Keep it up. I wish you all the best.
Couldn’t ask for a better father. I applaud you sir
What can you do but just be a proud father! You seem to have raised a couple amazing young men which seems to be far and few between in the world these days!
My first thought when I saw the crash, got to learn when to abort the pass...It's hard to lift sometimes, but its even harder to be racing next week, when you don't have a car. SRC, SRC garage, SRC photo, are my 5, 9 and 12...who needs bs mainstream tv when you have options like this channel. Family oriented, apple pie, middle America, kinda stuff, representing real people, living, working, and having fun. Anyhow, I'm rambling, good stuff as always Bill. Good luck and safe travels from 513
