Sick Seconds 1.0 was back in Hot Rod Drag Week competition for the first time since 2018. We were at Darlington Dragway for day one and we had a lot to figure out. Much has changed with what was once the world's quickest street car, and we had to experiment with each run to learn what worked.
Steve Morris was making changes throughout the day to get the car to a point where it would get down an ever-changing race track. He has a lot of SMX motors (like those found in Cleetus McFarland Mullet El Camino) here this week, but we are using a big block Chevy he built.
There was lots of heat and moisture in the surface that made the startline tough for everyone, but we made it work in the end and were able to take the lead for day one.
In this video we also speak with the leading contenders so you can hear from them and check out what else cool was going down the track? Is there any car you want to see in the videos? Let us know.

We love seeing the tech stuff. Everyone wants to know "why" things are doing the "things" and hearing the tech side explains a lot of it. Most guys keep their laptops unlock and key and never talk about the secret sauce, so anyone that will discuss these details is a welcome sight.

Dude, I knoe right? Steve is definitely one of the tippy top badasses, his legend will surpass his hopefully still lengthy time left on this world, theres always a 16yr old kid somewhere who just wants to find a little fascinating piece of something to chase. I only wish I had known of Steve Morris/drag and drive sooner.

Why should Steve and Tom give away info on set up and tuning that they paid to learn through racing and testing ? Their competitors can see this as well . If they spent million dollars learning ,why give it to competitors for free ? Especially Steve ,he has a business.

@@jkfonyi They are only giving away generalities. RE If car is doing X change Y. Every car / tire / track is different and still requires one to work on their own car.

Exactly. I don't care about the other guys just the tech stuff. The only 2 other racers I would be interested in, Finnegan and Alex Taylor, aren't there I'm good with just Tom's runs, any issues they have on the road or at the track. Anything else isn't interesting to me.

Some of that stuff is kept secret because drag racing is competition . You don’t want competitors that might be struggling to watch your video and figure something out and donkey stomp you at next race . Steve and Tom spent ungodly amounts of money learning . Everyone else should have to as well .

@bobroberts2371 9 ай бұрын

2450 When a cylinder does not fire, extra O2 enters the exhaust because it isn't consumed like it would be during normal combustion. If there is any sort of O2 sensor feedback fuel trim, the injector pulse width is increased and the motor goes rich. The exception would be if there is some sort of correlation between O2 readings and cylinder firing. Supposedly some factory FI systems take this into account for individual cylinder tuning.
