😂 me either!! I would have said alot worse!

I was thinking exactly that.

I was about to say I’m impressed with his self control lol

Some folks are just built different..

Sounds like a new shirt

I respect people who put an effort into not swearing.

I suspect Steve is very conscious about not swearing. So he's pretty used to it.

I'd have said all 7 of the words you can't say on television all together in one breath.

@AndyFromBeaverton when somthing fails, I'll just convince myself its an opportunity to do things right next time. However if i smash my finger, ill have homeland security paying me a visit if my phone is anywhere near me.

💯 Self Control

STAT, just like Steve does for his customers! Get one of them hellies northbound!!

He already has TBM’s on the front. Not sure if TBM makes big enough brakes for the rear of a car as fast and heavy as Steves.

Was looking for the first dumbass comment of the day. STUPIT

@@danmyers9372 Dude, I know that. Cleetus just needs to return the favor. Its not like Steve would let him work on the wagon like he did on Mullet. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

front brakes are way bigger than rears? ​@danmyers9372

Hearing that she said that to him makes me love her even more! She's sweet and funny!

She knew that is what he needed!

that was funny

I also love Steve's wife! They are a great team.

Thanks Val that was the line of the week

but the anger you can feel behind the words... definitely R Rated... Clearly apparent you don't want to find yourself on Steve's angry side, but you definitely want him on your Zombie Apocalypse team.

Either that or the extreme wheel speed is pushing pads out during the run, doesn't explain why they didnt come back after he pumped them.

Thought the same. Moisture in the lines that cooks off into a gas?

I agree

One way the old DOT3 fluid was better was that a little water didn't boil an push all the fluid out. But it was nasty stuff that ate paint, held on to water and corroded everything it touched. I have always wondered why we never came up with something that could just slightly raise the boiling point when contaminated that was not as awful as DOT3.

Good thought with the moisture and all that. BUT if this was the problem, he should have made FULL pressure when he initially hit the brakes. Then they would begin to fade. They will not act like they did in his case because he already had no pressure when he stepped on it. So the problem was already there before the end of the pass. You might be right with uncovering the port of the master cylinder. Although I don't think it was because of the parachutes. It probably was the other way round. Fluid gets pushed back through the acceleration. Depending on the design of the reservoir and if the port is in the middle of the reservoir or at the front. If the port is located in the middle, it can get uncovered by pulling the chutes , but the fluid level would need to be extremely low. I think it's more likely to uncover it under acceleration when you have the port at the front of the reservoir. But I assume the FIRST THING he did after he went rallying was to CHECK THE RESERVOIR. So he's probably right about the residual brake pressure causing him to drag the brakes all the way down the track. That caused his fluid to boil before he even stepped on the pedal. I'm almost sure the tbm rotors are just machined flat. OEM's manufacture their rotors with a little runout to push the pads away from the rotor when you'r not using the brake. Without this runout the piston gasket would be the only thing that pulls piston and pad away from the rotor. If the whole assembly is not absolutely 100% new and clean then the gasket will not have enough force to pull everything away from the rotor. Maybe there was moisture involved, but first of all there shouldn't be 17psi of brake pressure when he's going down the track. Especially with flat machined rotors that are not ventilated!

Glad you're ok, too.

MUTHA TRUCKER!

That's what you call a 'Code Brown'

⁠@@gregorholmes1837google translated that to “you can truck “

Not mother trucker? haha

and too most people thats not a bad word or curse word at all (it only matters to religious people i guess, tho its a shock in 2024 when someone complains if you say HELL instead of HECK LMAO like its still the 1500's

@@tbas8741 words only carry the meaning you assign to them.

Steve didn't say what the actual measurement was of how far he went.

He jinxed himself

Foreshadowing for sure

I was at Milan a couple weekends ago and this 6 second Superbird put itself in the sand. I immediately said, "Ope! He Tom Bailey'd it!

Jinxed himself

This track must hate being on video. First cleet with no chutes, then Tom into the traps and now Steve lol

Im sure they will let him know...Look what they do to Clay when he turns them aloose..

the motor cleetus hurt in mullet was already a beat up engine according to both steve and cleet. and they both ran that motor to hell and back. and all it was, was a main cap and some lifters... these motors are built like mother truckin tanks LOL

Absolutely a great engine and even better engine builder. These guys have been beating the hell out of those engines and haven’t even been bad enough to not be able to get them back to the trailer.

Didnt know there where haters.... Steve seems like a great dude with a Top Notch business. ...

​@@zippityzbrakeIt was not a beat-up engine in any way... The block was repaired it was 100% within spec just like it would be if it were brand new ... I purposely buy blown up engines for my new engines to save money if you know what you're doing and have the machines no reason why it can't be as good as new especially with billet like his case... Top fuel teams can make 12,000 horsepower after making the same type of repairs 4500 is nothing in comparison

Cleetus can tear up an anvil. It’s amazing the SMX lasted as long as it did given the amount of abuse it experienced. I suspect there was even more abuse not posted on the web. Steve builds top notch units. By the way, I suspect moisture is in the brake system on the wagon.

That’s an old one

💯

Yeah with the wagon parked in the sand LOL!!

​@@79tazman And Steve standing up through the sunroof like Ratfink, shaking his hands 🤣

randywl8925 great idea

Or a pic of a sand trap with a "no parking" stuck in the middle of it

Well said, (Num 6:24-26), for you, yours and all those around you...

The DOT 5 that Steve's running won't absorb moisture like DOT 3-4 will .....so something else is going on. The front rotors are really small with very little mass and are going to get hot quick. I wish there were cameras on the car going into the gravel....if the brakes were just overheated they'd be orange, or the pads just didn't bite. I tried to see the rotors when they were digging it out of the gravel and from the brief view they looked blackish so they might be ruined. Glad he's going to get larger chutes!!

It didn't build pressure though...both of the things you said wouldn't affect the pressure in the system when the pedal is pressed.

Look at Motions test video of these brakes...getting them red is no problem

​@@recoilrob324 Dot 5 gets same problem. its hydroscopic because of the silicone base but all that serves to do is displace the water till its trapped i the lowest part of the system so you still have water in there only its not dissipated in the fluid.

@@recoilrob324- Drag cars like Steve’s use minimal front braking to stop the car vs the rear brakes. It’s due to the tires used on drag cars. You don’t want to lock up the narrow front tires. The majority of braking is via the rear brakes with the large sticky rear tires.

Nah its his master cylinder. 1 failed hose isn't going to take down all 4 corners and cause the brake pedal to go to the floor.

@@Jeff7477 once one brake caliper boiled the fluid, there’s not enough master in the world. It’s the hoses cause it shows holding pressure, burning brakes up at 200+. There’s one component on a vehicles braking system that has serial numbers, it is the brake hose because it is that important. I’ll do you one better, standard car, you tell me why hoses are ribbed and I’ll believe you.

I'd assume he's running metal brake lines, I don't see those collapsing. Maybe he boiled the fluid or has an issue with the master or the pushrod. Is he running dot 3 or something with a higher boil point?

Id start with the soft line at the passenger side front brake, could have pin holes in it spraying fluid, and that one hose will make the pedal drop

Go away porn bot.

Considering recent performance Pinky should be added somewhere.

@@stevenshepherd1905 I think Steve should add Pinky to his parachute looking like he's hanging on for his dear life when his parachute comes out. It would be hilarious

@@70sAirForceBrat that would be cool

That little truck holds the stick shift world record

@@nickpopelka ya that thing was faster than shit off the lineb

That S10 was scootin'! Had me taking notice

That was hilarious

Pretty sure Steve doesn't want it "breaking" 😂

No, the selling point is they don't warp under extreme heat and can still stop heavy cars without chutes in an emergency lol

@mjay6245 well I am pretty sure I have heard this from the horses mouth. Or might be the giraffes mouth. 😀 Who know he knows. Considering that the animal in question is part owner and very clever man, I believe him. It's not the only selling point either. Your points are very valid as well. But that doesn't negate this point.

Can't park there!

No way!! 🤯😂

If C and crew worked on the car, it would have looked like John Force's fireball and crash at the 2024 NHRA Virginia Nationals

Probably Tom since he picked on him earlier.. LoL

He most likely didn’t think of that…🙄

@@jesimss I know he is a very smart guy, just trying to help. Sometimes when the plans change, a simple detail can be overlooked. Way to be condensing.

for a limited time, includes handful of rocks!

Someone mentioned that new “Mother Trucker” and “You Can’t Park There” t-shirts should be in the works.😂

The only time I've ever had "brake issues" was after a tank slapper at 125 on my Z1b back in '80. Once I got the wobble under control, I realized I was going to miss my exit off the freeway and hit the front brakes. Nothing! Wish I had a picture of my face at that moment. My seat had a permanent crease from the pucker factor of a lifetime. 17-year-old me was a danger to myself and everybody else on the road. Good times! (kinda funny that Good Times Kawasaki was where the bike was purchased in Sacramento, CA)

Hmm

We ran a 3 1/2 hour endurance race - brakes get very hot and once they are hot a few times it caused fade but a quick bleed & top off at the track or full fluid change once home solved the issue

@@stevemorrisracingas has already been said glad your ok . But hey flush that system out with new fluid

This is not a fade problem because he didn't have brake pressure. Sounds like the master cylinder let the fluid go by the seals. I would replace it and flush the system.

So many options for active driver cooling. From 300$ to 8000$. Even twin systems for driver and navigator/passenger.

I think it fair to say you can do that at any of them 😅 Chevy Dodge Ford even imports you chose Ford

Cursing is not a sign of anything. Silly mortal

Definitely, something I've been working towards.

@@bigvegass Actually it is, read Eph, Gal, and the epistles of both John and James, (especially James), as he talks specifically about the tongue/speech. Hope this is helpful, (Num 6:24-26).

God has never pulled my chutes or worked on my car. Good luck with that

@@jamesb9300 That's the problem though isn't it, the willingness to accept God's Word and by extension Him or do you continue to lean on your own understanding and the imaginations of men, (Genesis 8:21, Psalm 14:1, Psalm 92:6, Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 18:2, Proverbs 27:22), and many such verses in Scripture.

He had a parachute problem with Mullet too, didn't he?

@@fartzinacan now that you bring it up I think he

Doesn't Cleetus make Steve's brakes?

@@TheJeracuda He did. And as with Tom's car, it was down to the chutes having been packed for too long.
