    I met Cleetus for the first time today in Indy during the meet & greet and the two lines were longer than the distance Mullet runs 6s on. It was at least 2.5 hours Cleetus stuck around taking pictures with fans and signing whatever they requested. I have a whole new respect for the guy doing that for his fans as long as he stayed out there not letting anybody get disappointed! Also met Tye, George, Zack, and that great man named Sam. Helluva day!

      A TA/FC will never match the RT of a fast radial door car with a trans brake. They are essentially foot braking the car plus those huge slicks have to wrinkle up and then spin (wheel speed) which eats up a lot of initial momentum. A radial tire just dead hooks and goes which will always be way quicker than a big slick.

    This was a fun one. It's funny how a 7 looks slow beside a 5. I mean, over 2 seconds to the finish line after the win light is already on. lol... Also how funny Cleeter was watching the dragster pass him. That lane is basically irrelevant but he can't help but want to see it happen. Great stuff guys. Gonna be a great weekend.

    Favorite part of your videos is always seeing James give his post-race reading of the time slip. The "Elon Musk" of LS engines has a bad addiction to speed and wringing all the power out of cheap, affordable LS engines and now he's doing the same with a FORD. Keep the James videos coming!

    Definitely a different type of prep than radial prep but seems like you'll be able to make it work decent..
