It's day four of Drag Week and we are completely exhausted, and it's starting to take its toll on my driving. I made some dumb mistakes and we almost lost the overall lead at Cordova Raceway (results are below). Sick Seconds 2.0 might be the world's quickest street car when everything goes right, but that kind performance doesn't come without trade offs. Steve Morris from @stevemorrisracing and the creator of the SMX engine explains that some more in this video.
Everyone is having a tough week by this stage. In this video, you'll see Alex Taylor @RidingWithAlexTaylor having a really tough day, and the fact is we are all pushing these machines to the limit. A seven-second average is still a monumentally difficult task - there are only five teams with seven-second or better averages at Drag Week so far!
Michael Westberg and the Swedes have great number for the week, but that hides the true story of their efforts. They had a trailer jackknife and even hit a racoon on the drive, causing problems. Those random events can fatigue you, and cause mistakes and that's what people don't understand about drag and drive events like Drag Week, Sick Week, Rocky Mountain Race Week or Midwest Drags. The human element is pushed to the limit, we don't all come into this fresh and rested every day.
Make sure you watch us on the Hot Rod Drag Week 2022 live stream for day five!
Overall Averages at Day Four:
1.Tom Bailey 6.583
2. Michael Westberg 6.585
3. Dave Schroeder 6.714
4. Bryant Goldstone 6.940
5. Brent Sinclair 7.725
I love those Swedish guys. They seem just as nice as you and Steve. Thanks for doing this content it's absolutely fantastic.
They r fast as hell too
30:09 disappointing who? As a viewer, it has been impressive the persistence and commitment.
Thank you for sharing it with us!
We believe! You got this.
@@bigboreracing356 arent' they still 1st overall?
I applaud Steve's efforts to combat trolls. One day, he will learn he is fighting a losing battle.
No no, Steve is educating the masses on what it takes to have a 5 sec car that can run at-will high 6's for safety.
Trolls can have fun IF Steve was ever wrong. LOL! But he isn't. Win-Win for Steve. No mistakes for knowledge. AND they probably aren't building 1,000-4,500+ HP engines either.
Don’t confuse trolls with gremlins, as Steve is dealing with both.
@@georgedreisch2662 Steve is such a talented and amazing person. Trolls and Gremlins got nothing on him as "we, the other" smart ones know. :) It's fun to watch the special people fall all over themselves. I'm sure you would agree! What Steve is doing is PURE science and engineering. His math and science is correct! Hard to battle realism! Steve lives and thrives on realism!
Steve genuinely seems like a nice guy that is just trying to let people know what is actually going on. A lot of guys wouldn't make the effort to try. I applaud him. 👏👍
Awesome to see Motion Raceworks coming in clutch with their amazing customer service. Top notch guys!
I have slowly fallen in love with that little S-10.
That truck is bad to the bone, those guys are awesome.
For crying out loud Tom! You disappoint us! No way brother, you and Steve have given me the most enjoyable drag and drive event I've ever seen. And I try to see them all. You and Steve are Heroes! Thanks for all you and Steve provide on your programs. Get Sick the Mag, it Rocks!!
1 Nano Second faster is the WIN!!! Guys in your class are working as hard!!! If you can all finish you will all win!! That truck is sooooooo fast!! And they flew here to do the event!!!! I'm very proud of not only you and Steve but your competition!! They are working hard and some traveled to be there!!!! AMAZING hard work and good luck to you ALL!!
You and Steve NEVER gave up!!! EVER!!!! That is incredible.
Yes, everyone is bringing the heat! Awesome to see so many international competitors too!
The access you guys are giving us to the week is simply amazing, thank you! If I turn up volume, and the heat in my lounge room, the only thing missing is the sunburn..!
It's actually really nice to see what it really takes to be at the top of your game. Thank you for the honest struggles
no worries
hang in there. you are exemplifying what drag week is about. you’re working through all the unforeseen issues and that’s more impressive than having your car work without you doing anything
These videos are brilliant, if you just looked at the times everyone is doing you would never know what a battle it is to do them. These vids really show us how it is possible.
So good to see everyone helping everyone too. Cheers 4 sharing.
Steve you need to ignore the nonsense trolls. The real people here watching that matter understand the game. Best of luck
Dam what a great video i LOVE how you guys talk to everyone then show their pass then their reaction to their pass. Covers every aspect. Steve your a true gearhead bro and EXTREMELY intelligent, id love to have a cpl beers with ya
Everybody getting plagued by gremlins this week but I will say this; Steve Morris in my opinion is the best engine builder out there. I would literally give anything to have one of his engines. The man's knowledge is second to none.
You have really shown the the trials and tribulations people go through to complete these events. It is so much more than just racing. Thank you for the excellent videos.
Its easy 2 get thrown off your game when U guys have had so many issues to deal with this week and lack of sleep. Haven't had a trouble free day this week. Props to U guys 4 sticking to it and grinding threw it.
You guys are no joke, keep pushing through today and get that 5 second pass! It’s going to be worth it
Thank you for posting all the unedited content video's on your channel
Such an EXCELLENT VIDEO!! You just woke me up and got me ready for work!! (I am a Motorsports announcer, doing Arenacross announcing today and tonight here in Spokane, big fa n of Brian Lohnes!! Please tell him “hey” for me!)
That s10 is a beast and a handful! You would never guess that kid would be such a fearless, aggressive driver when you listen to him talk
You never disappoint love that you guys aren't giving up and battling. I do like the detail as well sorta living vicariously through you but well rested. Best of luck the rest of the way keep the content coming, loving it.
been having a shitshow week at work. Just to lift myself up I've been sure to watch every morning this week to make myself feel better. ;) I feel for you guys.
@@bigboreracing356 Hahaha legit. I feel like that the troubles make the story even better.
@@bigboreracing356 very very true....
Your driving, despite all the issues, is as consistent as it gets.
Like a duck, smooth on the surface, paddling like hell underneath!
Time to haul today!
With 1320 out, this is the best Drag Week coverage we have. Thanks guys!
agreeed, but why are they out ? what happend?
@@pewpewpew8390 curious too
wottt happened to 1320 ? holiday season ?
I haven’t seen them mention it. Poor decision making on their part.
Probably out because there are not enough unsafe Mustangs getting torn in half after hitting a jersey barrier , guard rail , score board pole at some hoopy track.
Love Swedish Mikael there, with the truck, "We will go a 6.50 and then turn it up tomorrow".
Jeezus if 6.50@212 is your SAFETY pass, how fast is that thing REALLY capable of going??
My guess is 6.15@240 but let's see.
The comments get Steve going.
Guys let Steve do his thing.
When you build your own engines then do it how you think s best.
I don’t see any of those with their criticism building high dollar ugh horsepower engines.
Steve is amazing at what he does and knows what he’s doing .
Seriously, I feel bad for him, having this kind of week and then having to read what a bunch of Forza players think should be doing when they have no clue, despite 100% of their drag racing experience coming from watching people like Steve do it...
Freakin might as well be Buzz Aldrin in the passenger seat with Neil Armstrong driving 2.0 ! ! Two of the coolest heads in all of Motorsports. I always imagined Neil cruising around the moon with his hand at 12noon on the steering wheel of Apollo 11 lol
This year might be more like Jim Lovell and Jack Swigert, but, yes. 😆
@@TheBrokenLife heheheheh good pull
Love your content! Sorry this week hasn’t been better but y’all are awesome for keeping it going. Thank you! 👍
Steve said ol' P$@sy foot bailey.🤣😂🤣 These 2 are great together.💯👍💪
❤️ Alex. Hope the car does her better today
She is rubbish.
Love seeing Steve explain that even with the best built engine, parts fail and can wreck the whole thing. Running anything with 3000 hp is no easy task, hats off to Steve and Tom!
you didn't disappoint anyone Tom! From where I sit, you guys are finally getting the car back on pace. Just have to finish finding the worn or damaged parts and you will be ripping it up soon enough.
Come on Westberg. Take the win for us in Sweden.
And welcome american people to swedish Street Week 2023
Who needs a hot dog from the Sick Truck??!! I DO!!
Obviously I'm here and loving the racing but the details about the trailer disaster and the resolution made it seem like I'm part of the team. Thank you very much!
Okay now, what do I need to do?
I like how the tube is notched for the compressor housing (pause at 0:37ish).... 😵💫that baby is "Sick" for sure 🤘
If you need a throttle cable, use steel fishing line. All you need are loop crimps to attach the line to the ends.
I wanted to make a point of thanking you guys for covering Drag Week for those of us who can't watch all day this year...Looks like Tom and Steve at last got some sleep.....
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL DRIVERS AND TEAMS!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE!!!!!
Gotta love Tom Bailey. He is such a good spirit.
These race weeks good for tom personal growth its an eye opening expirience
Great content for the rest of us that wanna live the drag week dream but can't. Keep it coming!!
Thanks for the videos! Hang in there guys! An inspiration for us all!
Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug.
No need to apologize Tom it's really entertaining following your channel. I'm sure more 5's will be coming soon.
Lifting at the 1/8th, running 6.80s.... after drag n driving all that distance, pulling a trailer.... Everyone take a minute to stand in awe of Tom n Steve!
This channel has become one of the top official racing channels. Cleet, 1320, Tom Bailey.
Keep up the hard work! An uphill battle makes victory that much sweeter
These videos are so well done, following the stories of all the different drivers great focus on Tom and Steve too.
I get some people are just "nice" in front of the camera. But Tom and Steve are just legit good guys. Always helping out and only seem a tiny bit frustrated when 99% of us would have been throwing our tools through the windshield. Keep it up! It's appreciated
Tom Bailey and Steve Morris are a couple beasts even with all these problems they're still on first and second place still can't catch him
Keep on keeping on Steve! The guys that know, know. Your engines are the best, and it's you, and your commitment to them that keeps Bailey and MANY MANY others coming back.
14.29 That looks like a design just waiting to break!
This was the first D&D I was able to go and watch in person, you say it was disappointing for the time slips but the beauty of Drag & Drive is the road and the survival. And you did it with kindness, grace and plenty of content!
Thank you Tom, Steve and the entire Sick Team.
Side note I finally had my first Sick Ice Cream Sandwich! Thank you
Love the drag and drive videos. Y’all put a lot of effort into them production wise and Tom and Steve truly are genuinely good guys.
Glad you like them!
Im impressed you gents are driving your rig from spot 2 spot... That has 2 be hell on your body...your ride looks good.. . dont matter if you winn or not.. your cool... Thanks for all your hard work...
The video coverage that these events is fantastic. Though like all events the main focus is on the big guys they show lots and lots of the slower cars with the names we don't know.
I bet those drivers really like seeing their own cars on video especially on a channel like this. 1320 rocks.
Excellent DW coverage, can't wait for the next one. As a guy with a 12 second mustang with its host of annoyances, it's nice to see the big dogs have to deal with the everyday bullshit that also affects normal cars.
Andy and Doug are awesome 👍
GREAT VIDEO TOM!!!!! GREAT RACING ACTION BY EVERYONE!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
Things like this gains my respect. It’s True car people shit. You can prepare all you want but stuff can and will go sideways no matter what.
Alex I had a similar situation happening in our car I do a burnout would be fine I'd get on the trans break you let off the trans brake and all the sudden it would just fall on its face Scott Taylor went through and looked at my high RPM safety and it was at like 4,500 RPM and we had no idea how it got switched but it did check it out not for sure what system you're running though we had the grid system
The gap is so small you couldn't pull a pin out of it with a tractor! Keep kicking ass!
2:12am here in New Zealand. All i want is a bloody hotdog. Haha. Nice work boys. Love the videos.
Bailey packlist for 2023 DW: 10x Extra throttle cables, 3x Well-pre-tested injectors, ... :)
Really liking spicy Steve. Dude is awesome
What an adventure so far! An emotional roller-coaster for sure lol
Steve ,please understand your one of the BEST engine builders in the world you have zero reason to give currency to people who think they know better than yourself ,numbers dont lie
Thanks for the great coverage.
Between the Breakdowns, trials & tribulations of the car and Steve fighting off the trolls and Tom pullin the shoots @ the 1/8th
I liked all of it!!
Still rolling! That's a good thing! GL guys
It's race car stuff and still better than real work
No matter what the outcome. Tom and Steve are the dream team. Drag and drive is a really tough gig. Even attempting a 5 second average is wild.
If everything is running perfect but you run out of fuel 3/4 down the track say bye bye to the pistons....unless you have exploding connecting rods it is always something else that causes the engine damage.
Remote start on a drag car? I think Steves onto something! lol
Square body running 6.63. Jizmazing.
Thanks for the absolute best clip of race week, that wheels up clip of the Barracuda from behind was a thing of beauty.
I know a bit about mechanics but know there there is much more that I don't know. I set back and learn form Steve and don't second guess him.
Drag racing is a true passion, shit happens when you go fast… Friday should be fun to watch 😂👍💪🙏🥂
No disappointment at all! We love you both!
I smell a broken piston giveaway. Give Steve a bonus. Thanks Tom!
It amazes me that anyone that doesn't build their own engines from scratch would try to call out Steve Morris. Not nut swinging. Just saying, he has more experience in building engines than some guys slapping junk yard 5.3's together.
That opening shot looked like it was recorded in Le Claire Iowa along the riverfront just north of I80.
Considering the track is so greasy that little s10 got down that track decent anyway. 6.63 is damn fast
There’s definitely a mental part of racing ins’t there. Lots to remember during each pass.
theres always "experts" in the comments that know better then the actual experts steve knows what he's doing if i could id love to have a SM engine
You guys never disappoint! Love you guys being up front, no matter what's going on.
Thanks for taking us along Tom!
all you can do is fix what breaks
Just like top fuel things are on the edge of destruction. You’re not the fastest on the property with out pushing limits! The ankle bitters turn into big jobs but don’t let people get you flustered! Anybody can shade from the couch!!
These are the best drag racing/event coverage videos I have ever seen. You guys are awesome, no disappointment at all. Sincerely thank you for giving all of us a front row seat..
Wow, thanks!
You guys are a great team...this is racing
....at 10:08 - Brings back memories. 1970 Chevelle , 454 , 4-speed w/4.11 posi (MY power-train, not the car in video) My first car I ever ran a 1/4 mile.
Awesome opening shot of the lake and the rising sun. Captures mid-west September beauty impeccably.
I wanna see a 5 today real bad brother. Rooting for you.
Thats cool of you to help the competition Tom thats the way to do it everyone is struggling a helping hand can really save the day
Micheal and the Sweden 🇸🇪 boys are my favorite team from drag week
Keep on keeping on - you guys make a masterful team.
I'm hooked on this coverage like everyone else. Thank you guys , truely. cheers from Godzone.
Your not disappointing anyone tom. When you race cars anything can happen.
Definitely a tough Race week but worthy of a emee for best TV Drag Racing Drama !
Ì enjoyed this video so much. By talking to all the other drivers we learn more about them. We can put a face to the car.
