I'm sad that you left Tom's channel, you were a great part of the team and brought much needed personality to his channel. The way you told your story today was well spoken and you might want to consider making a real push on your channel, remember Cleet started small and look at him now, or Alex Taylor shes all over the place. Stay with it you can do it.
Good Luck!
Garrett isn't annoying AF, unlike Alex.
@@_JamesBrown I'm just talking about EJ using RUclips to further her career. She has somewhat of a following from Tom's channel and try to make that work for her.
@_JamesBrown , really, He is like listening to Gomer Pyle and the conversations just seem fake, keep the swearing out, dont say this, dont say that, keep sponsors happy etc etc, i can't watch his channel.
@@_JamesBrownGarrett shouldn't be famous and is super annoying. His content panders to views and likes. He doesn't understand a lot of mechanical stuff or care (hence why he destroys so much stuff). Alex knows her stuff and films what she does, she doesn't create content for the sake of content. Two different approaches, I prefer Alex.
If they weren't filming, Alex would still do it and Garrett wouldn't. That's the difference.
Hi Ej.
I'm excited you're growing on the path. If in your travels you make it to upstate NY. Let me know. My Daughters are around your age with similar interests. It would be great to shake your hand and show that there are others interested in the unconventional.
It's great to see you post times from Tom
Have a great day
Chris
You’re the best, I came from Tom’s channel and I’m sticking around to watch you do cool stuff and good vibes

Thank you for the update. I follow the sick crew and was sad to see you go but I understand the need to grow and broaden your horizons. It has and will be a joy to follow you on your journey.
You’re awesome, successful, talented, and just getting started!!
I can’t wait to see you use this year to catapult into something bigger than you’ve ever done before! ❤
I am going on 61 and let me offer you some advice! Unrealized dreams of youth can become the regrets of old age! Live every day as if you are living for that day and make your dreams a part of each day and do not worry about the rest! It will come in time!
❤im very glad Tom has you as part of the SICK TEAM❤
Can’t wait to see more!! Thanks for answering our questions. You’re awesome Ej
I am 61, a widower and appreciate young people getting into motorsports. I still learn something daily, it is of utmost importance. Never stop, I won't.
Thanks for the discussion, it answered a few of the questions but of course not all. I enjoyed seeing the look of amazement on your face when enjoying some of the opportunities you had at Tom's organization. It's still difficult to understand why such a talented young lady would walk away from all of the opportunities presented at Tom Bailey Racing. The long hours were obvious but the other reasons are yours and as you said are between employer and employee but I will continue to scratch my head wondering. Best of luck, I know you will do special things.
Well done, EJ. Can’t wait to see where you go. You are capable of accomplishing amazing things! Enjoy the ride.
This is great! I couldn’t stop thinking about *Sam Lankford* thru the whole thing, which brings me to this: we have all been there and we actually understand. I think most of us know you don’t owe anything to Tom and the shop, but please don’t burn the bridge. Talk to Tom, just once. He will respect you for the conversation. You maybe already have. The biggest regret I had to live with is similar to your situation. Bottom line, we love you as a creator and we think you love Tom and the gang. He feels a little raw and you can do a ton for them with just one conversation…
Or not.
Nailed it. Very well said.
I am so happy that you are OK. I was concerned about you as a person. Jobs will come and go but at 24 you still have your whole life ahead of you and if you can find something that you really like you will never have to work a day in your life. After seeing Tom's last video where he said that you were not working for him anymore, I was concerned. Thank you for letting everyone know that you are OK. I have been watching many You Tubers lately who have something to do with racing and they seem to really enjoy their work. Good Luck in the future. Garth P from Ann Arbor.
EJ I'm a heavy-duty diesel tech and an auto tech. I have been doing it for 26 yrs. I'm always looking for a new challenge. Keep on getting it girl! you have a new sub.🤘🤘🤘
Chase your dreams EJ !!! As a Father of two young men I always told my boys to chase their dreams and make sure they have a plan to achieve those dreams and do not ever make a backup plan, the reason I say this is simple if you have a plan B then you will definitely fail at achieving your dream. Sounds like you have found the passion now hone it !!! You don't have to explain anything that makes you uncomfortable or regret making that next step, do you and the rest will fall into place.
Keep learning and growing. Based on what all you did say, and how you said it, it would be awesome some where down the road to see you come full circle and at least do some collaborations with Tom and company. Keep reaching for the stars, one of these days you will grab hold of one!
This is awesome!! I just subscribed and you seem really educated and passionate. Can’t wait to see more
As someone who has been there and done that. I want to wish you all the luck there is to have. IT takes a rare person to be as brave as you are to have a dream and bring it to reality. My hats off to you for not only doing it but bringing us along for the ride. I know that Tom was heartbroken to see you leave but just as excited for you to be willing to improve your skills and life for yourself. Keep it up and stay positive. I've subscribed to your channel because I believe that this trip is going to be wild and well worth the watch. You are a very rare lady and I can't wait to see what's next on your journey. I'll be watching and rooting you on. Great job on what's next for EJ...
I second this, go EJ
I think we are happy you are good and in great spirits. I watched you over on Tom’s channel and was taken back that they said you were doing tools boxes but we didn’t see you in any video. I respect your decision and I know you are building your resume and to do so you cannot stay in one shop for ever if you want to make this your life pursuit. My daughter is going to take Mechanical Engineering and is in a trade school in high school, you are an inspiration to us old farts as well, keep up the good work and know WE HAVE YOUR BACK young lady. God bless you EJ.
Can’t wait for more content ej live your dreams girl best of luck to you
Way to go EJ we’ve all enjoyed watching your experiences on Tom’s Chanel your still young and have plenty of time in your life to follow your heart to keep learning more and good luck with moving on. I’m 59 and made those changes many times in my life and made new friends along the way and am still learning things. So good luck!
EJ i really like seein you with Tom an glad you an sam team up an watchin you race enjoyed every minute you rock
Nice to see you EJ--thanks for all the info---now we know ! Best of luck to you .
You have such a bright future I hope you keep at it truly inspiring I absolutely love when I see the younger generation as involved as you are
I throughly enjoyed learning new things about you, it’s insane how far you’ve come and I’m pretty sure everyone’s proud of you for taking the time to better your future and to learn new things, glad to see that you’re trying to upload more and you’re back safely!
Every road has potholes. I subscribed, a little asphalt in one. You rock, keep going.
You don’t need explain nothing to anybody. At end of the day you gotta do what makes you happy! I was 26 at a dealership on track to make 140k that year and walked away from it. Got burned out doing what I loved. Opportunity will come and go, just gotta do what makes you happy at the end of the day
Well, I can say, I will be watching with very high interest in your career, some times we make the right decisions and other times, we make the not so right decisions! What makes it all worth while, is to keep moving forward !
I am 54 yo, dropped out of high school in year 9, did a hands on short course on car maintenance with a youth group.
That landed me a job with an engine reconditioner, as a machinist engine builder, some 4 year later, I landed a job in a performance engine shop, learnt plenty, learnt you just can’t always get along with every one, again moving on to another better paying shop that was just starting out, I had done a welding course on mig stick and tig welding, being able to weld repair cylinder heads and blocks was a advantage and before I knew it I was off to work for Australia largest engine remanufacture.
I did a few years there before again moving on to something better , all the while learning everything I could.
Eventually I opened up my own engine shop. Was absolutely great until we had a big recession, loosing half of our customer base
( mechanical work shops) due to the economy, I decided to go back to tafe ( trade school) and learn metal fabrication, part time I was building intercoolers, fitting and plumbing these intercoolers, building turbo exhaust manifolds and intake systems , fitting and tuning efi systems ( when I was 19yo, I fuel injected and turbo charged a Datsun 1600 / 510 that ran 12 second 1/4 miles)
This I did for a few years and enjoyed it, and I can relate to you, when you say, the interest wanes over time and soon your looking for a new challenge .
After a few different jobs in Mechanical repair and maintenance industry ( not cars). I went back to TAFE ( trade school) did my motorcycle trade certificate ( bike people have always been my kind of people). I opened up a performance motorcycle repair shop, brought a bike chassis dyno, and built a nitrous powered zx9r drag bike that went 8.80s at 156mph, it was a street bike lowered with a fogger nitrous system, I converted bikes to e85, fitted Haltec ecus, and tuned them, built a some turbo street/ drag bikes, life was sweet and the most enjoyable !
It had ever been and I had some great clientele/ friends, went on many rides…….. great times.
Then at a drag meet it all went terribly wrong at 100mph and spend some time recovering in hospital.
No more drag racing and slowly due to pain the interest waned and I retired.
I now spent my time, travelling Around Australia in an old 1978 model motor home, loving life and seeing some wonderful sights around Australia.
Life is an Adventure EJ,
you only get one crack at life, never settle, never become stuck, bored with what your doing.
You sound a lot like me, once you have mastered a thing, it’s time for the next challenge.
Life always about what you make it! It’s about seizing opportunity when it presents itself or actively looking for it.
Along the way, you learn some amazing skills and as time goes on, your knowledge becomes a valuable resource that others want and will
Pay well for.
Working for my self was the most rewarding and also painful times. You get the freedom to do what you like, but that comes with
Dealing with many people, most are awesome , others total pain in the arse!
Self employed, you now have many bosses!
But you are at the whim of the economy, unfortunately while running my shop we had another recession, since motorcycle are a luxury toy,
Our clients being in well paid job, having a track ( circuit bike) a couple of street bikes , a dirt bike . These guys had to take pay cuts
To keep there jobs, which ment the wife’s made them get rid of the toys. After a while this down turn really hurt the shops income
And we started to see an influx of the low paid guys riding old bike just for transport duties back and forward to work.
These riders were not enthusiasts, it was a means to just get to work. Not maintained and we only seen them when they could no longer patch them up.
No money and wanting cheap service. They where also the most problematic customers who could not pay there bills for weeks at a time.
Tuff times. So being self employed is not all roses, many challenges and many knew skills need to be learned.
People skills was not my best skill! Small business really opens your eyes to length some people will go too, to try and cheat or defame you when they don’t get there way. Always the challenge, if I lived my life again, I would want to build something then sell it when I am done,
Move on to the next project and repeat, working for me and then finding the right buyer when it’s all done, having very little people contact along the way. Maybe the next go round. Next life time.
I know it was a Ramble, I hope you see this EJ and get something from it.
The challenge is, not to get locked into a mundane boring Job you can’t stand.
If you can learn something new every day, your on the right track.
I will be following with interest.
Many have made a good living on you tube. I know I have enjoyed watching you on Tom’s channel
I will be following you here on your channel.
I am sure others will too!
Keep smiling 😊
Glad to see that you are staying on You Tube. Can't wait to see your new adventures.
I got to watch you learn to drag race at Great Lakes Dragway during Sick Summer. I didn't have my car finished, so I didn't get a chance to race. You are a special type of person that needs to continually improve yourself to stay happy. Most people will not understand those kind of life choices. We all have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Some of us just need to build a fast car to catch that happiness. Good luck EJ!
Glad to hear that you're doing good, always wondered who you were and glad that you put this video out.
Was initially disappointed to see you leave TB's shop, but am happy you reappeared. It isn't 'nunna mine' why but happy it's on good terms.
Thank you for the origin story, appreciate what you're about, where you've been, and where you're headed. 🙂
I found you by Tom, then you were gone, glad to hear an update and looking forward to seeing more! Thank you.
Thanks for the update. loved seeing you drag racing definitely missing you from Tom's channel.That being said I find you very interesting hence I joined your channel. looking forward to seeing what comes next for you. Best wishes be safe and thank you for sharing your time.
Ej I’ve been watching you for years now and you’ve been the biggest inspiration to me as a woman to follow my dreams, unconventional as they are. I wrapped my car because of you! Your drive and tenacity is so admirable. I know you’ll go far in anything you choose to do.
I'm glad i was recommended your channel. Keep soaking up all the knowledge that is giving to you by reputable people. Like my shop teacher said to me the first day of my sophomore year, Mr. Kull he said, I challange you to fill your tool box, referring to my brain, 34yrs later it still isn't full. I've been building cars since 94, and learn something new every day. Take care EJ.
Props EJ! You own your decisions, you follow your heart - thanx for sharing your life. You got it, girl!
I'm a father of a few 20+ year olds, and I admire your learn by working, and work to learn attitude, not everyone has that positive out look. I am glad you are healthy (mind and body)and you are happy with your decisions. You are absolutely correct your relationships both professional and personal are your business. Keep learning and working, opportunities will open up.
Good for you EJ!! Thats awesome you got a path you’re following through life!! I feel honored to have sat next to you in the left lane at Cordova during sick summer and both our epic 6 second passes😂😂😂, idk bought you but i kept the slip because its probably the only time ill ever see a 6 second slip! Anyways good luck in your endeavors!! You got a bright future ahead of you!!
Hahahah I’ll never forget that pass!!! You know I kept it too 🤣 Thanks for stopping by I appreciate it 🙏
You're a very talented young person. It's great to see that you're so motivated to do something productive. Please stay on track and follow your dreams!! Thanks for the update
Thanks for the update I wish you luck in your new endeavors
You rock EJ can’t wait to see what comes next 🤟🏽🤟🏽
You’ve had experiences that I only dream about,doing sick week with Sam,building race cars and doing fab work. Congratulations from your success and thank you for a backstory on yourself.
Hi EJ, I first saw you on Tom Bailey’s channel and was sorry to hear it was time for you to move on because I always enjoyed your presence. Hope you do well and have good fortune in your future…take care.
I’m glad that you are doing good, there was never any introduction to you on Tom’s channel that I saw, and a super brief explanation to when you left. Everyone else can say what you should do with your life, do what makes you happy and follow your own path.
It’s who u know and u are amongst the absolute best! Steve , wow Tom’s crew, Garrett and his crew Sam the man!! U will go far
OK got ya now girley and we don't care why you left Tom just what you are gonna do now So Post Content and remember you can do Time Laps On long things and Listen to Music while you work and you need to watch Ya Sub Count cause as soon as I post this it is gonna go Up Up Up So Glad I found Ya Channel good luck and Keep On Wrenching
Awesome stuff, was great watching you be part of the Toms crew, and also nice to hear that you spent some time as young girl here in Australia. Im sure with your enthusiasm and attitude you will have great success with your future endeavours.
EJ, thank you for sharing your story. I am sure that when you apply yourself to welding like you did with vehicle wrapping the results will be amazing. Good luck, hang in there, and move forward.
Good for you EJ , thanks for sharing an update good to see ya doing so confidently well I’m proud of you as a older gentleman from Canada 🇨🇦 that follows a big part of youtune automotive community & channels , keep on keepin on your the real deal stay safe stay strong an motor on !! 💯👍
HI, I miss your "How about that" in Baily's intro so much already and wondered if I would ever see you again. Then today, I turn on RUclips and here you are with blue hair. I love it, give little Piggy a hug and kiss for me.
Hated see you leave Tom, but I fully understand. The best way to learn anything. Is a crash course in it. I have been at it for 32 years now. You have a long way to go, and the world is yours for the taking. Just a word of caution. Take care of your body & mind while working in this industry. If not you will become crippled up like I am. But most of all. Never, ever stop learning. Best of luck to you in all of your endeavors.
EJ I would not miss one of your videos you are a very smart lady and I love learning what you're doing
Thanks!! Appreciate it 🙏
Gladd I found your channel. I seriously enjoyed watching you on Baileys channel, and was a little upset hearing you had left.
But good for you chasing and making your passion happen.
working on cars is like being a Dr, its a constant practice, skills that need constant work, keep it up, your doing great !! would be neat to see you do colabs with the youtube universe , a build w VGG , a build w Finnegan, a build with Cleeter ... that would be epic
Michigan is a great state. BUT, have you considered maybe calling Cletus and joining his team in Florida?
That I would watch!
Unfortunately Cleetus channel, is not what it once was, short videos, rare glimpses of what’s going on in the shop.
Planes, boats, It’s a car channel? Then all the promotional crap for his paid subscription service.
He gotten so big, he needs to spend most his time finding money to pay for it all.
And I think it shows in his content lately to be honest.
Then all the keeps promotion stuff, that’s done nothing for his hairline. I can’t believe people get sucked into these types of scam subscription service? It may be an American thing? All these commercials telling you about miracle medicines to cure illness you never knew you had while growing up?
I think it be a great learning stepping stone with Cleetus, just short lived.
I also think EJ want to be her own thing most of all!
After watching this video.
I'm glad i found you!!! Loved you with Tom but glad to see you on your own as well!!! Good luck in whatever you do!!!!
Wow getting out there and doing it. You've experienced so much in a short time. Congrats on growing
You go EJ. Love TB channel and have subscribed to yours. Good luck always.
Good luck EJ. An exciting future. It’s a shame you left Tom’s shop, but it sounds like you have a plan and you should always stick to the plan 😎👍
You're cool, can't wait to see what you get up to. Subscribed.
I enjoyed you on Toms channel and glad to hear it was am amicable split. I can say you don't want to look back and say I wish I would have. I passed on a opportunity when I was young and I passed on it out of fear of failure. Looking back I regret it to this day because I would have been very successful at it. It will be fun to see what's next for you. Good luck
Will miss you on Tom's channel. Wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!
Thanks EJ! Great to see you doing well.
You seem to have the right passions , love the rally coverage keep at it , glad that even though your not part of Tom’s umbrella that you’re super respectful and positive
Exciting Stuff!....Good Luck to the New Chapter!....
Best wishes EJ, I hope you eventually build and race your own drag & drive from scratch. Keep moving forward. 👍
Glad i came across your channel always watched u on Tom's channel. Keep up the amazing work ❤. Most of my family live in MI
EJ I'm so glad that I found out where you're at now I was so glad to watch what you did and I'm expecting to see more
All I can say, AMEN. I wish you great things to come.
Just found your channel EJ so glad your doing well. keep the video's coming.
Welcome aboard!
Best of luck EJ , Always remember do what makes you happy ,
Not affraid to just get out there and give things a go . Your a awesome an gorgeous girl x keep being you 😊 blue hair 😮 awesome
Thank You for this video. Best advice I can give,,,,,,in this car community it doesn’t matter as much of your trade, but never ever burn a bridge. Sounds like things went well with you and Tom and that’s the best thing for your future if you remain in the car community. You seem to have enjoyed your time in the wagon. Maybe Tom would let you buy the Hotrod.
Hello from TN! 🤘Good shit EJ! Listening to this makes me want to persue my passions! Sounds like you're living life 💅💅 Hopefully your videos will push Dillon into doing Videos as well 😂
i just wanna say i'm here cause of you and no one else! hope you have fun and make more videos!
25:24 Is what you get but maybe not what you wanted. The video is interesting and reads a lot like a resume. a large portion is dedicated to Tom. She speaks highly of her time working for him and learning with him.
you racing the old mopar was the best video i have ever watched that big wheelie was so cool !!🤩🤩
Good luck with your dreams young lady hopefully you keep making videos you’re awesome keep your head up and stay safe and positive
I came from sick,s channel, cool to see your still trackin !!! 😊
Hey E J good to see ya chic!
We miss you, you are a delight and very talented.
Much respect, keep learning and going forward
Wishing you all the best enjoyed your content on Sick the Mag and will continue following you… Again All the best..
Thank you for doing what you did EJ keep up the good work
Good job EJ! Cant wait to see the progress!
You sound like me when I got out of high school, walled Lake had a good auto program then proceeded to university of north western Ohio, after being diagnosed with ushers, can’t even drive anymore! Engines and driving where my passion. Hope to see you succeed, nice to see women in the automotive field.
Have been following EJ for some time on Insta -think she has great RUclips potential. Will be nice to see more vids - happy to be along for the ride....
Love you love tom not taking sides . Do your gream.
Keep it up girl your killing it!!!
glad your doing your own thing, but you went about leaving the absolute wrong way and when you realize this in years to come you will regret it. I did something similar when I was younger and took everything for granted. biggest mistake I've ever made.
I will miss your smiling face @ sick. Rooting for you. Best of luck in your adventures.
You were one of the best features on Tom's videos. I wondered were you went.
Yeah, Toms announcement sort of left to many questions, “we gave her every opportunity yet she quit”
Had me wondering, as a well paying job, full of opportunities is one you just don’t walk away from!
But overly long hours, no time for your own thing, work environments and people can wear you down to the point
It’s no longer enjoy able.
People just don’t quit some thing there happy with.
The Blame has to Be on Tom with this one!
As an employer, to keep good people means you need to be able to read the mood,
Understand your employee and not to allow them to burn out.
Sadly far too many employers only consider there selfs and there goals with the business believing people come and go and easily replaced.
The fact a resolution wasn’t worked out and EJ walked says a lot.
I wasn’t impressed with the way Tom handled that announcement.
There is more behind it all I am sure, as people don’t leave rewarding jobs with lots of opportunities.
And look at how EJ handled this question here, full marks for not bashing Tom!
Show’s how wise beyond here years EJ really is.
As others her age would have cried how terrible a place it was etc .
Those excessively long hours do take a heavy toll on a person. I went through a couple jobs that had me so burned out that I could hardly function. At the very least she was able to determine what she wanted to do with her life. The goals she spoke towards the end of the vid shows her intelligence and drive to achieve those goals. Props to her. The world needs more young people like her.
interesting & well presented. good luck! i'm sure you'll succeed!
Great to hear from you again🫶🏼 I can’t wait to see what’s next on your journey ❤
Howbouthat… Rock on!
Just subscribed and full video notifications on, I personally think this is a good move for you, EJ. You learned a lot, I watched until the end, ain't no Thang, but a chicken wang lol is what my father would say lol. You will do great things. The world is in the palm of your hands. The only things left to do are to conquer it and make it your own. I took time off youtube for the same reasons, learn from others, to better my abilities. You will do great things. The names DB Grimson.
I watched you on Tom's channel . I think you look a lot better with dark hair . I mean you look fantastic and you look like your not under as much stress as when you were working at Sick . Maybe rest has helped you more than you know . Just remember that money and fame is not everything , your health and happiness is everything. You go and do what ever makes you happy . But I still think you look great with dark hair much better than with blond hair.
The car community needs more talented woman like yourself and others you mentioned. It'll be cool to see what kinda stuff is next.
Hey EJ love the blue hair this is the first time on your channel but have seen you on Toms I was extremely impressed with your driving in the Roadkill challenge you should be holding your head high Girl cant wait to see you racing again
Good for you to keep moving forward, I still might have tried to get more fab knowledge from Bob lol
