- We have only driven SBXDOOM ten miles since she was was rebuilt, now she has to run and drive 300 miles into the desert?!

We know the Sh**box can manage a couple of miles to the end of the track and back, but we had no idea how we would go on a day-long drive. It was so hot and we needed to make some mods along the way to handle the heat for car and passengers!
Rocky Mountain Race Week means driving some huge distances and the trek from Great Bend, Kansas to Pueblo, Colorado is a long one.
We kind of know what Derek from Vice Grip Garage goes through now when he takes an unknown vehicle and heads off on the highway.
It was a tough day on some cars, and we were sorry to hear about Cleetus McFarland's Ruby Corvette breaking on day one after laying down an awesome pass. Hopefully they can come back later in the week with something cool.

If people really thought about it, Rocky Mountain, Midwest, and Drag week really is one of the most American things there is to do. It’s not even all about drag racing it’s meeting cool people, traveling with friends and family, having peoples back and most of all everyone coming together at one place to enjoy the moment.
It’s awesome seeing your son out there. He will be out there running 6’s before you know it. Congratulations young man
Makes me heart warm to see you doing it with him Tom. My own dad passed away when I was 11, I will cherish every memory I made with him. I new I liked you watching your channel. This kind of stuff cements the idea you're not only of the goats when it comes to this stuff you're a good person too
Doing RMRW with your father. Priceless.
Aydan has Tom's cool demeanor, when those parts fell out he calmly pulled over and checked it out. Well done!!
Nothing better then a father passing knowledge to his son. Even I smiled watching the last pass. Way to go daddy.
Glad to see Cleetus had some influence into the headset purchase! This has been so fun to watch!
What brand are the headset?
@@bubba1398 Rugged radios
Thanks
At this very moment, there are 30 and 40 year old men wishing they were Tom's son.
Tom, your son Aydan is too kool for skool.
The memories y'all must be making right now.... Aydan is a lucky kid, and you're just as lucky of a dad. Hope y'all are killing it today.
Much like watching you open up and get comfortable, now you share with us your son’s beginnings!! We can see just how proud you are Papa!!!! And for me to see both of you having life experience’s and SMILING continually! Thanks!!
There is nothing I would have wanted more when I was graduating high school than to be on Drag Week (RMRW did not exist yet) in a killer car. I’m sure it doesn’t feel like it now but he is a very lucky young man. I hope that I can do this for my son when he gets of age.
You are the coolest dad ever man! letting your son experiance this is just awsome! :D hes so lucky ^^ and man i love the way you explain stuff! just makes the car world so mutch more fun!
You've raised a good kid. Really enjoyed watching this. Better than any TV show. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Glad you enjoyed it
14:54 The wild giraffe spotted in his natural habitat. Love the content guys. This will be a fun week!
LMAO, the car alarm is fantastic! YES!
If your daily doesn't set off car alarms idling by, you're either too old or have no testosterone in your veins.
Trucks are cute.
That is an alarming car! I love it!
@@sickthemag my wife use too make her brother in law Ford truck cry every time she drove my Chevy truck to there house... We was just talking about yesterday.. LOL
Forgot to mention yesterday, I remember you and Dennis discussing the dash during the build. We're happy you fellows decided to keep the original '57 Chev dash. That dash is a must have,, it completes the look of 'original'. Thumbs up!
Impressive shake down run! Thanks for having us along!
Awesome to see Aydan enjoying his build. I was always told this is character building for father son time from my Dad.
"Follow your passion.", they said.
"It's the path to true happiness.", they said.
"You'll have plenty of time to rest when you're dead.", they said.
It's great to see Aydan beginning a journey that, if nothing else, will show him that adults can be rivals and still be good friends.
And of course sharing your passion with your son is priceless.
I'm 42 and I still want to one day be able to do something like this with my dad...so awesome Tom!
Great job brother. My dream to do drag week with my pops. Hopefully ASAP because he is sick and not in best of health. Enjoy the times with your dad. Greatest memories
Congrats on the graduation young man have a great race week.
I'm surprised you rich guys don't figure out a way to run AC in those cars. I know its a parasitic drag on the engine just take the belt off at the track. Vintage Air could make you a system to work in those cars I am sure.
I'm working on a car with a guy and we are putting a Vintage air unit on it. His car will be close to 3000 hp and he figures if it takes 100 horses to drive it so what he will be a lot cooler than without it.
Tom, im a ex marine engineer and been involved with maintenance for over 30 years including extensive use of inferred thermographics. The problem with using thermographics (temp gun) on metals is that it's difficult to gauge the emissivity Factor and the guns you are using can not be adjusted for it and are really designed for wiring etc. The gun emissivity will be set at .95 and will give you an inaccurate LOW reading of 20 to 60degC. To over come this problem easly just get some spray paint and spray the gear box in little patches where you want the reading. Any non metalic paint will do but mat black is the best and this will give you an accurate reading with in 1 or 2 degrees C as the emissivity valve of paint is between .92 & .97 which will match the gun and remove the aluminium guess work. If you want more info just email or look it up on google as its a very common misunderstanding of the use of thermographics and it dont want you to blow up your box thinking it may be ok. P.S been doing this a long time, so it not some internet non factural oppion. thank for all you enjoyment you provide.
Aydan looking like a natural behind the wheel! Great job guys, what a story for this car. So stoked to see it on the road.
you should be proud of your son! Not many teenagers would consider driving 1000+ miles and working on an old car fun! Well done!
It’s awesome to see a family race team and everyone enjoying the adventure in this life.
Need some of those sweet cool-it jackets like KSR did on ol cleater's new ride. Love the ride by the way :)
So awesome you get to do this with your son. Great memories.
He seems like an awesome kid.
Thx for taking those of us along who are not there, living the dream through you!
this is way cool, getting to do this with your son. I shoot competitively and I'd give up a big chunk of my collection to have my son shooting with me. I love you guys, the MW team, Derek, Cleat Jack stand. I watch all you guys and love it. Way to go Aydan.
Infrared thermometer in the tool box helps in a pinch to determine temp of something or verify a coolant sensor is actually working. A great tool to have in a pinch, can help you diagnose a lot of things especially if you know what temp they should be or have something to compare too.
check to see there oil in the vender overdrive had me laughing because Cleetus for got and hurt it
That's the spirit; praise for the good you take from the situation.
What a great experience to do together, and in the shit box of doom. It's awesome that you all decided to put the car back together after the accident . What a ride
Your turn around time is amazing Tom !! Father and Son.. nothing better !
Keep doing what you’re doing, Tom. That’s all we need.
Love what you guys are doing, my son and I have done 4 drag and drive events together and there is nothing like it. We were with you guys at Midwest drags a couple weeks ago. Love Sick the Mag, already subscribed!
im loving this series tom i love all the drag week type of stuff but you teaching your son the popes is so much fun to watch family is the most important thing we have your making memories here have a great week bro
Love following RMRW, awesome son/father trip to do together.
Get a vw a/c the ones that you wind the window up on. Im sure you can find them or fab one. Then you wouldn't have to deal with fans, bigger alternators or anything and it wouldn't create any extra weight or drag while racing. Not sure if you want to go the route Garrett did with the cool suits but that's also an option. The vw a/c is the cheapest and the way I'd go for race week.
They are called swamp coolers
I remember taking vacations with my parents in the 60s. We would always rent a window cooler for the station wagon. Good times!
The nice deal with what Kevin did to Garrett’s car is that they’ve already got the icebox for the intercooler. So, all you have to do is add the small pump and fittings for the cool shirts. I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of guys copy the setup since many already have the icebox for the intercooler.
Just watching Cletus (Garret) in driving this same journey and he may be much cooler but he is all over the road (don't tell him who told you) and Ayden's driving is WAY better. Very impressed by how straight the SBox was running with Ayden at the wheel!
Absolutely love when kids get envolved with racing
Way to go tom, creating a memory that your son will treasure for life.
Nice work young man, she’s a beauty! What an experience to be able to do this together as well. Good luck to you for the rest of the week, can’t wait to see the rest! 🤘
Y'all need to get Derek to hit that rig with his patented Shyne Joose! That face he made at 17:47... been there!
Gentlemen good luck! Here's to the memories you are, and are about to make!
Will post the same thing on every video this week for the algorithm. Thanks for the invite to ride along Tom, great content.
That is one heck of a graduation gift! He will be in the 6's before RMRW next year for sure!
Next thing to borrow from Cleetus is the cool shirt. Love the look of the car, glad it is running well… Minus the mystery parts falling from the dash!
Open those vent windows all the way.........Get you some of that 1957 style 60 + 2 air conditioning! Great blog Tom, Great time with your son!
Pretty cool...The Bailey Boys cruising in the shit box of doom.
Best of luck to you and the Son. It is nice to see a Father Son team as many Fathers/Dad dont care anymore. Stay safe and take care you 2. Looks like you and the boy where getting slow roasted there Tom
Love the father son stuff..... Keep'em coming Tom !
Father ,Son bonding👍
I think everyone needs to get that cool shirt setup that KSR tossed in Mullet. Seems like a game changer for these type of events in the summer.
Awesome that you are getting to do this with ayden
Awesome that you get to do this with your son . Car sounds great . Good Luck !!
Really enjoying your race week content thank you :-)
Love the ride dudes! Got the sub to Sick the mag!! 🇺🇲
It's awesome to see the next generation getting involved into cars. It may look like a shitbox but it is also awesome to see that car get a new lease on life. Can you imagine what all it seen and where all it went in it's 1st life?
I hope my sons and I can do this event together in the future. What an awesome feeling.
Father and son so cool
Makin' memory's that will last forever........./ Love the rear window drag wing!
Awesome to see he followed you into it man!!!! Keep the videos coming please sir!!! And good luck the rest of the event guys!!!
DAMN, I'm still in love with this car !
21:05 - Best part of the drive? My answer - Air conditioned hotel room with bed, heh..... Stellar work.
Its awesome to see this adventure with your son and the shitbox , for a 3 week thrash it seems to be a well built machine keep up the great content.
That view of the trans just hanging out with no panelling and seeing the road through the frame was wild! Never mind the open prop shaft in there. That would make me nervous, not just hot!
I did a double take when I saw the road, but you can see the hoop for the drive shaft....it isn't going to go far, other than maybe a little shrapnel if the U joint breaks.
That's one sweet ass ride congratulations to your son on graduation and God bless
Keep posting and we'll keep watching. So far the week is on solid ground with a good driver and his car. Thanks Tom, Ayden and all for a great drive and race week.
I'll probably never have that kind of opportunity...... But I do kinda live through videos like this!!!!!!
y'all need a "shitbox of doom" t-shirt...
sh€+box of doom is awesome
Man if you ain't struggling you ain't living. ✌️ Thanks for sharing your ride!!!
That looks like its gonna be a fun trip...good luck
15:06 I guess your on a safari... there is a giraffe behind you while talking... :-D Car looks like its doing well for being cobbled together in about 2 weeks.
It was cool to see who we believe is Momma Bailey co-pilot with her boy for part of the trip. Twice thumbs up!
Congratulations Aydan!!!
Good job man!
Great parenting Tom.
What would RMRW be without stories like these? By the time Aydan has a son, he'll be talking about how you all endured 180 degrees in the car and each year he tells it the temp will be higher!
if im not mistaken you can flip the corner windows forward and drag cool air straight at you and time for a Trans Tunnel your just letting Engine and Trans Temp straight in on you! Use at Least something like a Reflective Blanket and Tape it over the trans from the Firewall! Congrats on Graduation !
What a great opportunity for dad and son!
Be careful guys!
Love the video awesome to see your son driving, have a safe trip cant wait to see the car run.
father son time gotta love it . wish my dad was kool
That's awesome 57 and also I love watching your channke lots of valuable info and been following since Finnegan and Alex channle and Cletus freedom factory awesome 👌
Love seeing the teachings of the next generation. Love seeing you in racing prime taking the time to further others. Mad props.
*God less and God SPeed KINGS*
*Kepp pushing and keep moving forward*
Beautiful car. I thought I had a fast car when I was in high school. 69 cornet RT. Awesome car congrats and good luck.
Great work! Thanks for sharing
I don't understand the thumbs down. All I can figure is there are some jealous losers out there. This is the most priceless father/son time ever!
Nice ride, you need a couple of those old style swamp coolers to hang in the door
windows. Might help a little with the heat.
Sorry if this has been posted but a couple mesh door nets would be nice to hold stuff in the back window. And keel the racing vibe with good air flow
Calm even when the dash if falling apart, just like the old man.
This wagon is so cool maybe not in the inside when running but to look at it's the best
Love the father and son content, just made me a subscriber. Cheering on your son to do well
I doubt the kid has any idea of the memories that he’s making right now. I know I would’ve killed to have done that with my dad.
I'm sure he does, I know I did, don't project your failures on others..
@@bigharrykochenbauls4567 I still want to know what you think my failures are that I am projecting here. My father died when I was 17 which is hardly a failure of mine. What are you projecting?
2 Things. First, any time a Exhaust sets of a car alarm it is a great day 2nd, Thank god for the old cars with the side vents !!!!!
Awesome, father son time race week'n!
Shakedown cruise success.👍
If it falls off, but the car still works fine, is it really needed?🤣
What a fantastic family event, mom, dad, and Aydan! By the way Aydan, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR GRADUATION!!!!!👌🤙👏🦅🇺🇸🎉🎊
Nice run good job with slap together parts. Hope you make it to the winners circle!!
Love watching you guys :)
What an adventure. I Hope i can go on adventures like this with My son one day 👍👍
