Quickest First Day Pass Ever At Drag Week, But Did We Blow Up Steve's Motor?

Рет қаралды 122,705

Жыл бұрын

Talk about a rollercoaster day! We started the day with the first full pass on the car since the fire, yep it's been that long! Sick Seconds 2.0 is the world's quickest street car, but she has really been fighting us lately. With a 6.03/249mph we have the lead of Drag Week 2022.
We waited to get on the road so we wouldn't be driving in the heat all day and Steve Morris suspected there was something going on in the motor, but we didn't know what. We made the checkpoints (and lost our tuning laptop, thanks Jonathan for finding it!!) and then stopped in at Richie Crampton's shop to pull the motor apart and see what we could find. Fortunately it was just a pinched ring in the piston.
Make sure you watch us on the Hot Rod Drag Week live stream today and throughout the week.

Unbelievable let me get this straight after yesterdays transmission fail, Today an IT drag and drive guy saw it on the road knew it was lost went back picked it up brought to the shop and also fixed it! As a bonus u have Steve Morris with u as copilot. Okay, Tom the powers that be are on your side your winning this thing for sure!

Backup the laptop to the cloud, lots of options for that, but this way if it gets killed, just get a new one at the local store and suck your data down from the cloud, from anywhere by tethering to your cell phone, and presto back in business.

@ryanhoffmann9341 Жыл бұрын

@@christopherflynn5359 she says in the video the Gear Vendor's guy said she was the first person to break an input shaft on a GV. Not talking about the transmission, the Gear Vendor is a separate over drive unit that attaches to the back of the trans. A lot of drag and drive driver's use them because it significantly drops the rpm when they are cruising from track to track.

@young11984 Жыл бұрын

Know somebody that used to break a GV input once every couple years only on 2nd gear shift, started applying the a dump valve before the shift and hasnt happened since. Also found out thru video that there was minor tire shake coming in right at the shift, so now the hard shift and rattling the tires are gone its been smooth sailing for 3-4yrs now
