Personally the lounge talk & breakdowns of the data is my favorite part of the videos. Been following Jim O's career for years & it's great to see him back out fulltime.

When the seas get rough, you hang on and appreciate the builder! A smooth sea never made a sailor.

Clay, the after talk in the lounge with Jim is just the best! Please more of that together with the load pedal stomping!

Fantastic job of driving..... Incredible reflexes and reaction to what needed to be done.... What a great privilege it is to watch the best... Go Clay, Go Go Go.... 👌😎👍

Well shoot, that was very unfortunate, glad you are okay. You now have some of the best equipment and the best people around you, go after it next year let's get you that damn Championship Clay

Great to see Bruce back. Sorry you guys are getting such rough treatment. The driving was paramount to keeping safe. The debrief sessions are hands down my favorite segment! Also, to quote one of my favorite Automotive KZfaqrs ( I do cars), there was no Malice in the Combustion Palace!

INTEGRITY OF THIS TEAM,SECOND TO NONE ! 🇺🇸

The things I LOVE.. I'm soooo thankful for them MS river bottom driving lessons from Jimmie Millican .. No more highlight Reels though!!!!💙💙💙 I LOVE how Jim O reminds us that was NOT a bad day in the whole perspective of thangs.. I LOVE seeing Bruce back in town & I love his tell it like it is attitude.. Last but not least I LOVE THIS CREW in your pit. They all have their heart & soul ALL IN & it shows.. AND 6 days later of being notified of a penalty is BS...

Clay that 3 wheel save was simply amazing. Kept it in your lane and off the wall! Man thats best case scenario for the tire failure!

I watched it live on TV and couldn't believe my eyes. That was some awesome driving clearly someone special was riding with you today. Glad your are safe.

I drove big rigs for many years. One of the biggest fears of driving those things is a front tire blow-out. When that happens you usually end up on your side or worse. I my years of driving I had 2 front tires blow and you better have your spurs on. I fortunately used up some lanes but got it stopped safely both times. I'm telling you this because your incident was a miraculous job of driving and your years of experience. I'm glad you're ok.

Yes please on the racing stories we love the way you guys bring us the inside look and bench racing in off season is mandatory

The comments on the TV idiot's comments are the best !! Tony needs a new job. Better luck next race my friend. Go get them.

Sorry for all of the hard luck you're having lately. It was scary to see the shrapnel from the tire coming in front of you. Glad you're ok, Clay! It's infuriating that NHRA didn't follow up on the assertions that were made. A lot of hard work goes into getting those points, and due diligence on their part isn't too much to ask. Wishing all of you MUCH better luck in Pomona! 😊

Love the positivity of this team and the never quit attitude. As compared to a diamond, it has to be refined to be the beautiful diamond it is. I believe your team is being refined and I see a championship team on the horizon

Another great video Clay, and like Leah Pruett was saying... we need MORE top end shots from everybody including the TV broadcast. Everybody shoots from the starting line and that's fine, but it would be awesome to include some top-end 300+ MPH shots with the dragster bearing down on you and blowing by. It's the best, thank you!

Clay, Jim, it's nice to hear things we never hear about. I had no idea about the 74 pts that were scrubbed from the team. I know how it feels to play in others' sandboxes. No matter what happens, it's their playground, and rules never apply . I believe the NHRA acronym and motto is Never Happened RIGHT Again. Can't win.

I love this lounge talk these good ol day remembrance ,,, it reminds me of a time ,when me my late dad and his freinds would get in the ol 55 Chevy car and slowly drive all over the Mojave desert, in the hours after work, and I would be in the back seat and listed to the story’s of old times , I loved it , thanks clay and jimo,,, praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏 thanks BigAl California

I can tell you this there are not maybe but two or three current drivers out there in the top fuel ranks in a couple and the funny car ranks that could save a top fuel car going 320 miles an hour when it blows a tire and doesn’t crash the whole car. Clay you are the top /best driver out there right now.

Glad you’re safe ! We need Mike Dunn back in the commentator booth. That clown that’s in there now is a disgrace

Glad you're find! Saving that car from crashing was some formidable driving.

Being thankful for those driving skills Daddy taught you. AND for THE BEST team watching over you and traveling from coast to coast to get you to Pomona. They have the “want to”! 🛞🛞🛞

That was quite a video ! A string of unfortunate circumstances for sure. In regards to announcing comments ; they should go back and rectify their comments if they prove to be inaccurate , without doing that is unfair to the competitors and the the fans as well. All the best in Pomona . These videos are invaluable to the fans of this sport. Many thanks Clay.

If q 1 thru 4 went as planned with no hiccups, I know the parts plus team would have won that event. You guys and gals are on fire. Rick, I know it seems like the team went through parts in these past events, but it was inevitable, and they had no control over this. Gather up what parts and chasis are available, go out, and bring the last event home. Rick and the team earned it. I'm addicted to this team.

Clay, you and Jim O HAVE to do off-season talks with who ever you want man! You guys feed off of each other so well!! Always love the sessions in the hauler!

That big guy in the back seat that has no hair....he looks like he would have no problem just hearting someone's feelings.. 😆😆😆

What a run of luck the past few weeks. I’m extremely proud of the entire team being more concerned with their driver being okay over the car. You all are amazing! Thank you Rick for the opportunity you give our team.

Yes, Clay I would listen to racing stories for hours. Uncensored. No need to worry about the length of the videos, most of us would listen as long as you have something to show us. If not, that’s what the “FFWD” feature is for! :) I checked on Monday with someone familiar with the event to see about the car after the tire grenade and they did say the chassis was tweaked. Been following that and the post-Dallas drama, which sounds absurd. So sorry to hear that. Knock em out in Pomona and ya’ll get a reset for a while. Hope you’ll still cover the car and work over the off season! Good luck!

Really good to hear from Jesse and great see Bruce back into it with you guys. Luv ya work Clay!

10 minutes with Jim is too short, the lap by lap stuff is just fascinating for me.

Thank you Clay for always giving us an inside look into how a race team works. Everyone sees the final outcome, but never get to see everything that gets you to that point. I'm glad you're ok and I know it was a wild ride. Keep that foot flat on the loud peddle brother.

Absolutely amazing driving brother, i can’t believe I’m not seeing anyone commenting you on that… I had a tire let go on a 200MPH run in a supercharged 02 Z06 at 178mph.. I was actually on a freeway.. it was my second try, the tires were sipped ( cuts along the tread ) I wasn’t aware. I had just put new set of AFR mongoose heads and a lingenfelter screw style blower.. it took a block to stop.. I eventually hit 208 mph .. cooked a new set of rotors on that pass. It was on highway 16 Washington state between Ramiller exit and downtown Gig harbor exit.. November 2007.. and i still have the data from event.. my hands shook for a week.. then got married. And lost it to a monster

I was taught not to say anything if I didn't have anything good to say, so... Clay, so glad you are OK! Three wheelin at 330 mph 😳!!! Politics in racing is just plain bs, but like you said, "It's their sand box". Hell of a team, keep STOMPINONTHATLOUDPEDAL!!!!!🇺🇸🦅

Please talk as long as you possibly can. The stories and the information about the car is awesome.

Thank God your ok Clay. Great job driving. I love the idea of basically using Pomona for testing. You all are the best. Stay Safe.

As important as steering is, I can't fathom how unnerving it would be to suddenly be surprised by a different ratio box than you're used to! It's a good thing you're a BA driver!

Why is everyone so in love with Goodyear. Errbody very quick to defend them.

Great save by Clay with that blow out! One hell of a team! Jim & Bill know their s#$t .

On one of the nhra's slow-mo you could see something fly out from under the car about the 32:20 mark before Clay stepped off the pedal

Your idea on racing stories would be AWESOME!! To hear stories of racing is moments of zoning into times having those little hairs stand up. With how..... yup that's a champ.

THATS MY DRIVER ! "ENOGH SAID"

Great job driving Clay as always! Love watching your videos from over here in the UK and best of luck in the final race in Pomona 👍

I don't know how in the world you kept that car under control when the tire went. Awesome job!!

That was some great driving, Clay! 😮

SMH, it seems the organization is really trying to be a bad lawman all of a sudden and as far as the TV commentator, dude couldn't drive worth a flip and his rhetoric is just as bad 🤬. Glad you're ok and this team is freakin awesome!

Your personality makes for the best driver on youTube! Many more subs deserved.

Yikes!!!! Glad your ok. What a crazy couple of races. Hope your luck turns around at the next race. Thanks for all the information you’re willing to share. After listening to Leah might be good for some to see how fast these cars are at the top end of the track. There’s nothing like it.

A few things. Glad you were alright Clay. As Jesse says cars can be fixed. Concerning the terrible tv announcing and comments being made without facts. I don’t believe anything analyst say about your team. I get all my factual information from your videos. Please keep Jesse involved in videos in future lounge talks. Concerning NHRA “sandbox”. Sometimes the sandbox gets dirty with some litter. Don’t give up on appeal. Time to win Pomona next week.

Good job keeping it in the lane, Clay! That coud have ended way worse. Glad it didn't. I think we have seen way too many tire explosons this season. I am surprised NHRA isnt investigating Goodyear for what may be the cause.

Damn good save Clay. God watching out for you, and the other driver

Talk about blowing the tires off! Glad you are ok Clay......keep on truckin....Lets GO!!

I'm sorry for the bad luck but I could listen to you guys all day

I agree with you guys. What Tony said,didn't make sense. If something came out of the headers. It was at speed,anything out of the headers would have shot past the tire. And the engine didn't self destruct for shrapnel. Tires blow,it happens. The swaying at the top end and the wind could've caused something to do with it.

A lot of good automotive/racing channels on youtube. Only 2 really give me the feeling of good, down to earth, not in it for $$, race teams. The parts plus team, and PFI Speed. Keep at it boys and girls! Love it!

You need to be nominated for Best Driver Ever. Who else can, and has, saved his own life that many times?

That was AMAZING BIT of DRIVING!

Explodes a tire at 300 mph, drives it like nothing even happened. Amazing.

Now that’s a really good save. Great job Clay!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Hang in there guys! You have so many positives to go into 2024 with! Yall have over come so many hard times these two weeks are just going to be "racing stories" not to long from now. Going to try and come to Chandler in December!

That would be awesome in the off-season you Jimbo, and whoever you’ve got as a guest respect from UK clay

32:02 now THAT is a driver!! Amazing job clay!! You kept yourself and Steve safe, that was a show of true skills

@41:25 = LOL! True, Jim O. So true! Honestly, i hit the mute button many times, during the tv broadcast. It's hard to listen to sometimes. I miss Marty, Mike, and Dave.

The old boys are fired up

Another tough weekend Clay, really good to see Bruce back with the team. After reading Jim O’s book I think the racing stories idea would be fantastic. A week or so of not just hard work for the team but a bunch of miles to be driven. Take care on the road Jessie, Kaylynn and Blaine.

Lovit. You are doing so much for your sport. I never usually watch the rails and im glued.

Great job Clay on keeping the car out of the wall and the other lane to bad the Tire blow but as always I can't wait for the next video and the next crazy thing you get yourself into

Thank God you were able to control the car and stop it safely. You absolutely have the best crew out there and they have the best driver.

I used to love watching Sammy Swindell race

Dude nearly kissed the wall going a solid 275 mph and he's reading off the numbers like it's just another normal Tuesday 😅 my adrenaline still would have been going

When I read about duct tape on your car I new it was a lie. Thanks as always for taking everyone along. Go get another W in Pomona!

Clay...my wife and I flew in from Denver to cheer you on....thank God you are safe. On Sunday, between the early monring wind, the cold temps and knowing you had to face Torrence in rd 1 we left you alone.......but were with you in spirit. LOVE LOVE LOVE the new format with your wrap-ups with Jim O......glad to see Bruce back for a while........I know you have to be kind, but I don't......Tony P needs to find another line of work.....and the he folks broadcasting the races need to get Mike Dunn back in the booth..... Last......RWR....Rick Ware.....thank you for keeping the group together, and allowing Clay to keep filing what he does......he's a brand ambassador unlike any other in Drag Racing.....now go SOTLP!!

Oh my goodness in less than a blink its a terrifying drag race . Unbelievable driving skills you were able to protect yourself and your competition . Old school stay in your lane at any cost your one of the worlds best dragster drivers Clay . Thank you for posting all the great videos on your KZfaq channel Clay .

Clay, the control you had on this car was breath taking. Absolutely flawless!

You know I quit everything to do with the NHRA because of the jacking around with the rules and making false cheat claims against some teams. Wally Parks would never have done any of these things without explaining to everyone what it was all about. I started hanging around the drags back in 1967 and loved every second of it until the people in charge after WP passed started playing with the rules without telling the fans what the hell was going on, that's when I walked away and didn't look back. I didn't give the NHRA the time of day until about a year ago when I ran across Clay's KZfaq channel. Clay Millican is the best thing to happen to drag racing in a very long time. I see the NHRA is still playing their stupid ass games of we are right and even if were not we are still right. I wonder who has the deep pockets! Semper Fi !!!

I absolutely LOVE Jim O. If I had a fraction of the knowledge he has.. and I am a retired Aerospace Engineer. I woudl love to get more info and stories from Jim. All the Love and Respect in the world to you and Jim.

Not sure of the 'duct tape' question or what we/they are talking about, but SOOOO glad to see you hold that beast not only in your lane, but cleanly between the lines. You and the team are such an inspiration and I appreciate that you give us a window into your house. Keep it up and whatever arguments with NHRA may be happening, never forget, you are TEAM RWR, PARTS PLUS and SUMMIT RACING. All the people working behind the scenes and at the track are what really make this happen and let you STOMP ON THAT LOUD PEDAL and make all the fans follow every race!

Okay...... well thats a lot. You all are superheroes - I have long given up on explaining to non-drag race folks how tough this stuff is even if you don't have to turn left. You still have two pretty intact cars (even with front-halving - not crashed), three Wallys and a very battle-hardened team going into Pomona and into the off season. No ones hurt, and Rick seems all good. It's going to be a hard week but we are with you! Let's go!!

Nice recovery. Great driving. Glad your safe.

Heck make videos hour and 22 minutes. Love it I absolutely love the detailed information and the old time stories of racing past.

Yall have been put to the test the last 3 weeks. It will bring you closer together and stronger. You will deserve the break after Pomona

I feel for you and are so glad you are doing well. Great driving. Can't wait to see you guys at the next race.

Great driving job Clay! Chin up and carry on team!

When it rains it pours clay. Thanks for taking us along for the ride..

Clay and crew y'all rock! Clay that was some awesome driving when that tire blew. I hope yall's luck gets better in the next race since it's the last. Peace

I am glad u r safe. Amazing job to keep it out of the wall!

thanks Clay great work with the video really Enjoy watching

Clay, well that was unfortunate. so good to see the team "Has Your Back" . As always thanks for taking us along!

I couldn't seem to add my comments for the Texas.Motor Plex. That is a WORLD FAMOUS TRACK. I love hearing yoy and Jimbo talking about each run. I know he is a DAMN GOOD CREW CHIEF. Having worked with Dick, and Connie...... Ot gives us, me a better understanding of what is going on, and how you adjust for things. LOCE RICK WARE COMING IN😂

Thank you. I have learned so much about drag racing from you and this channel.

Great driving Clay!!! Cannot imagine having a tire blow out at that speed.

Clay, I love you guys and I told my wife since you weren’t talk about it, it had to be an appeal in process! You are still smiling and not gnashing of teeth! You are best sportsman I know in any sport I am aware of! I know that the season is almost over, I miss you guys in the off season! Keep us in the know as you can! God Bless you all, thankfully your not hurt! ❤

Being from Michigan… I would love to hear some of Jim’s stories about his days with the Kalitta’s 😉

So sorry to know what had happened at Vegas. Clay, you are such a Great Driver to safely stop three wheeled race car going nearly 300 miles without hitting the wall !. I'd love to listen to you and Jim-O talk forever ! 😄

Thats racin. Glad you guys are all good! Love ya, have a Happy and safe Halloween... !

Great video love those behind the scene talks can't wait to see how things turn out in Pomona you and your team rocks😎👍👍👍🍕🍻

Really happy to hear JimO and you guys call out the "idiot" in the booth! The reality is that idiot's incorrect speculation and crew chiefing can indeed have a negative reflection on perspective sponsors costing a team associate sponsors or even major sponsors. They need to shut that guy's commentary down until he knows the facts or get rid of him! I actually have to shut the sound off if I'm watching the races on TV so I don't have to listen to him. If that moron knows so much, you'd think he'd be making millions as a primary crew chief for one of the main teams rather than holding a microphone. And the allegation mentioned that you guys were running a weight bar duct taped to the chassis is ridiculous. I think we all know the capability of the team and leadership of it. Politics courtesy of the booth and NHRA. Now to the bigger question that wasn't addressed by the idiot in the booth...Is Goodyear having an issue with their tires? hmmm???? Ya not a word of speculation about that possibility ehhh! You guys have a busy couple of weeks ahead of you. Hope all goes well getting things together and in Pomona to stay in the top 10 for the season. One more thing...for those off-season stories.... how about getting Connie? He, as JimO and you know is pretty unfiltered with decades of stories!!!!!! I think it's likely that the "statute of limitations" has passed on most of them!!! lol. Hang in there. I realize you might not read all this but it gave me a chance to vent about the "idiot" in the booth. Thanks, I feel better now.

It doesn’t matter how the year ends you are all a championship team.

Ok who’s the guy miss reporting Love the videos clay

Great video Clay. Straight up and honest. Unfortunate for the team/race but great driving job and good luck for the next race 👍🤞🤞🤞

Great video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
