I’m very Grateful things weren’t worse and everyone here was ok. I feel we should be able to get the car back up pretty quick . You all have been amazing, we appreciate the support so much. I think i’m just more determined to get back to it and get it worked out.
You are one of the most amzing man i ever seen Brent where do you get all the positive energy from? Most people would cry and give up for a while. I hope you get it up soon you really deserve some good in your life. By the way happy new year from norway.
Fire extinguisher are a must have. I have had them sprayed on more than one car I have been driving but cleaning the car after is a JoB !!! I believe in you guys you will get it all back together. 💙💙💙
It totally sucks that this happened but you all were extremely lucky that no one was injured, the shop was not damaged, and the damage to Sho’Nuff was worse than it is. In a strange way you all were lucky this most unfortunate event happened at the shop where you had fire extinguishers and water. I have seen several cars, trailers, and tow rigs get burned up at the track as a result of crowded tight pits combined with people frozen like deer looking into headlights rather than grabbing the fire extinguisher out of their truck or trailer and lending a hand putting out the fire. That all said the best thing you can do for Sho’Nuff was doing what you did is washing off the dry chemical fire extinguisher residue. I highly recommend you give Sho’Nuff another good bath. It sounds as if you guys are also using this incident as a learning experience for just in case there is a next time. Besides adding more or bigger/better fire extinguishers and a hose for methanol based fires and something to quickly cut the straps holding the car down might I recommend you not store any unnecessary fuel or other flammable chemicals of any sort near the dyno. I know that might be a pain in the butt however just think of the consequences of not doing that. Additionally no one should ever park in front of either Dyno Bay just incase you have to push a burning car outside. Lastly comes how do you prevent something like this from happening again and the best thing I can think of is to always blow the engine compartment out or run a fan before crank on a car to avoid having a pocket of fumes build up and be ignited by a backfire, or some other flame or heat source. Myself I have had a small engine bay fire several years back due to a fuel leak that I had fixed the night before and had thought all of the gasoline that has leaked has evaporated overnight. That night was cold and the thermostat in the shop was set to 40 degrees and the heater was running when I opened my shop that morning. As my usual I cranked the heat to warm the shop up had a cup of coffee and called customers etc. Anyway the warming of the shop by cranking the heat up got the residual fuel to start vaporizing again and I lit a hand held Map-Gas torch to put a little heat on a crusty O2 sensor which ignited the fuel vapors that were in the frame rail of the car which in turn singed my beard, hair, and the hair on my right hand/forearm. Luckily I was wearing my eye glasses which also are safety glasses so my eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows did not singed. The damage to car fortunately only a little bit of burned paint in the engine compartment and burnt wires and heater hoses. One last thing when you reinstall the fuel cell have you thought about relocating or extending the vent for the fuel cell to get it farther away from the turbo
Maybe the EPA has a point?!?!?!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Maybe clowns shouldn't assemble cars!🤣🤣 When everything you touch explodes then maybe someone needs to catch one of those clues whizzing over your heads right now?🤣🤣 Brother in Law is one of 50 cars you work on that's actually made progress and that's because of all the aftermarket support! How many cars do you need to destroy before you finally admit you need some SERIOUS HELP?!?!?🤣🤣
Crazy how building these cars can end up teaching us the most valuable of life lessons. Patience, perseverance, heartbreak, pure joy, and gettin knocked down so you can get back up. Brent, I’ve got infinite respect for you and your teams dedication and the example you set for those boys. I’m stoked it was just minor damage, but in the end it turns out being about so much more than just the cars. The value is in the process and this setback is just gonna make the finish line that much more sweet! Keep yer head up and yer hands dirty. You’ll be rippin in no time!
This is what makes Brent and the PFI family so great. It is super easy to be positive when everything is going right, but they all keep that same energy when everything has gone wrong. Shoutout to Brittany for being on top of getting the extinguishers serviced too btw
Now is the time to use our connections to help Brent in any way, if y'all know anyone who can help supply parts etc. Let's get Brent racing with his baby. Super sad to see, but it's not about how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get back up. Stay strong PFI we will get through this!
@@uncensoredgarden I have seen several cars, trailers, and tow rigs get burned to the ground at the track because people just froze like deer staring at headlights instead of reacting and grabbing fire extinguishers out of their trailers and fighting the fire. That said Brent was incredibly lucky to have people be able to run and grab other extinguishers to keep fighting the fire instead of having to do both tasks at one. It would a good thing if PFI could get a couple of “Cold Fire” fire extinguishers of the appropriate size to put on either side of the dyno’s front and rear
Working with your sons and getting to share your knowledge and love for care with them is worth more then anything you could of loose in that fire! Your blessed in many other way Brent never forget that
Love you guys, if you guys ever need a break to recharge and rethink just do it. I know myself and any other real PFI viewer wouldn't mind it. Yall have been go go go for years for us. We all appreciate you guys very much, but please take a week off at some point boys, or even two. Yall have been through alot and never stopped content, we notice. Much love from Cali, watching while I trim 😉
I saw yesterday’s video and then todays, but due to the time difference here in Thailand, as well as the mad busy time we’re having, I wasn’t able to comment until now! You are all exceptionally fortunate that this happened now and not when you were racing, this is a opportunity, to re-asses, and as Jared and Freddy would say “Build it better!” You’ve h got this, you have the talent, this is just a frightening knock, you can rebuild her. The most important thing is that none of you were hurt, or worse!!! I e been following PFI since you moved into this shop, and even today I don’t see anything but people that inspire. Thanks for keeping it real. Best Henry
Brent you and Jamie are setting a good example about not quitting, and being super positive, and getting after it right away. Not only to your sons …but to all your viewers. Thank you! The world has enough negativity. YOU GOT THIS Boys!
First, I'm super happy that everyone is good and that the damage isn't as bad as I expected after the previous video. I understand the whole hindsight is 20/20 thing but I truly believe that accidents create the best learning opportunities. So if there's an easy way to prevent similar accidents from happening in the future, the whole aftermarket / race car scene should probably agree as a group to implement that solution on all their race cars. Maybe there's a better solution out there but I believe that a simple flash arrestor in the fuel tank vent would have prevented this fire. The crazy thing is, I've never heard of anyone building a flash arrestor into their aftermarket fuel system so I'm not saying you should have done this. The problem with preventative safety is that when it works, nothing happens. So no one even knows that a catastrophe was just averted.
After I had a fire, one of the biggest kicks in the teeth was cleaning up all the fire extinguisher dust then having to pay to have them filled again! I had just had them serviced too. But boy was I glad I had them, saved a customers car and my workshop! Glad youre all ok, we can always rebuild cars! You guys have got this!!
Glad no one got hurt. Fire extinguishers for fuel fires. Fire blankets to smother them. And this was a good reminder to keep non essential people and objects away from dyno or around running vehicles. A definite burn kit for burns.
Brent, you are always the one pumping everyone else up. Let us be the ones to pump you up. You WILL come back from the better than ever! You and your team will build from here! God Bless!
I crashed my turbo Civic a couple years ago doing dumb stuff, and having to look at my messed up car in my garage, and having to drag myself out there to go fix it was so mentally difficult... I can only imagine how difficult this is for you. I wish you all the best Brent & team, you guys rock and will bounce back from this better than ever. Much love!
Nice post. Sometimes we have to reach deeper to consider the outcome. It sucks, but it's so rewarding when it's done and done right. That's what we have to keep in mind to gain the motivation.
The comeback is gonna be real. You guys got that all day long. Within a little time, the next dyno sesh sho'nuff is gonna be putting some numbers down!
I feel like Jeremy would say adapt and overcome - like you need more of that with all the other crap you have going on - but you will overcome this. With your attitude, and the teams attitudes you will get you through this. Car will be better than ever in no time. Your positivity is infectious and will spread faster than the fire! Keep up the good work!!
It’s awesome to see you guys getting right back into fixing sho-nuff! And that you’re using what happened to make improvements in the shop. I know I’m definitely gonna go out and get some bigger extinguishers to keep in “the shack.”
It's the vapour that burns which is why fuel fires are so difficult to tackle. Thank Christ it wasn't methanol with it's clear burning flame. Tom Bailey had a methanol tank explode on the track which was not good. I commented on the last video but I'll say it again, I'm so glad no one was hurt, and your positive attitude at an obviously low time is so inspiring.
I’m a car guy, but I can’t afford to play. I however do get to learn and dream by watching you guys. The other day I said family bond +15% . I meant that your family just got stronger. Brent you have started a legacy, and including us let’s us pray for you. Thank you. You boys are so blessed, a lot of people would love to try on your shoes. There is nothing as valuable as a friend like Jamey. God speed PFI.
You guys handled that situation perfectly. Like you said everyone remained calm, stepped up, acted as a team and executed. Glad everyone is physically okay. I actually teared up watching the video because I know how hard you work and have worked to have all of this. It's unfortunate, but I admire that you haven't been disheartened enough to lose momentum. The PFI Family/Team is an amazing group of people and I have no doubt you will learn from this and put it behind you as a stepping stone to elevate your game. Love you guys. Can't thank you enough for all that you have done and continue to do.
love to hear that you IMMEDIATELY got the fire extinguishers serviced. The preparedness speaks volumes of what y'all been thru. Love ya guys. Keep fighting.
Damn bro that sucks sooo damn bad. I know it could have been way worse but I cant help to feel absolutely terrible for you guys. It was so close to get on the track too. I'm sure you will get her fixed and back better then ever.
Getting right back to it! Brent is amazing! I was working on a fuel system with a friend and had a fire, he got some burns on his leg, but we finished the build overnight and made the 1300 mile road trip to Cleetus and Cars in Texas!
Take your time! I know it sucks for views and content but we all want to see ShoNuff up and running safely. About to hit the merch store and buy some t shirts or hoodie if in stock. The rise of ShoNuff!
Install fire extinguishers on each side of each door and equally on the opposite side of the shop. I pulled in my driveway with my truck on fire and felt so unprofessional when I called my wife and she didn’t know where one was. I have 3 in the normal places in the house and never told her. It is always after the fact we think about safety and that kind of stuff. Lucky no one was hurt and we can all use this as a learning tool!!! Love you guys!!!
We don't quit, we don't roll over, we don't lay down. We get up, we rise to the occasion, we keep pushing forward and we make shit happen cuz that's who we are !!! Stay safe boys
Thankful Steven wasn't hurt when that thing blew up in his face, and Jamie was able to get out in time. So many things to be thankful for. Building didn't burn down with customers cars inside. I know it's a step back, but the car is still miles ahead of where it started. Take the time to improve on things that you may could have done better and settled for how it was. You got this!
The pfi family is always in my prayers, this time is no exception😢. So glad Steven booked it out of there! I have a lot of the same stuff as you guys just hit me up if you need anything. I’m right down the street.
Hey, I noticed the gas tank edges were butt welded, if your fold a lip on the edges of the tank, or fold the ends into a pan that slides into the tank, you can use a stronger Lap weld, and should the weld blow out, the folded lip will still partially block the opening rather than a large gap spilling all the fuel at once. Hoping for a speedy repair and glad youre all safe.
So sorry that happened to you guys, My heart sank when that explosion happened. I thought the whole car was going to be gone when it exploded like that and Thankfully it's 100% fixable. Glad you guys are alright.
Guys your response to this incident was as perfect as it could have been given the circumstances. Your communication was succinct, accurate, and not conflicting. Everyone knew what they needed to do and everyone took each others' directions without hesitation. I'm so sorry to see this happen to such a fantastic group of people, but I am so impressed by your quick and decisive reaction that saved significantly more than was damaged.
Best thing to come from this, would definitely be an over cautious approach to fuel cells now. Nobody was hurt and vital knowledge was acquired. Shonuff will live, and we'll all be here to support you.
Noooo! Sho' nuff! :(.. Well I guess this means for more room for improvement and just a small set back. I believe you guys got this 100% because the hard part is mostly done. Like you said Brent, it is a car and it could be fixed and yes it's a bummer but this stuff happens and maybe it happens for a good reason. It just sucks to see all that hard work you guy's put into it go like that before it hits the drag strip. In fact, better it happened in the shop then at the drag strip where things could have been more catastrophic. You got this Brent just keep your head up man. Sho' nuff will live again maybe better then ever or even the best. You got a blessed and amazing team and all of your fans, family, and friends that are here to support you. I'm glad everyone is ok.
Industrial size fire hose between the two dynos , guys well done the communication was brilliant .. Jamie you my man are a true leader and thinker .. great job mate ..
You guys are the most honest transparent you tube stars. Showing the struggles along with the victory is hard to do for some people. I picture face to face interactions with you all to be kind hearted genuine dudes. Keep up the good content and loving the more frequent videos.
Honestly yalls response was textbook , you did everything you could with honestly minimum damage. Part of the game, proud of you guys. It'll be even better when you fix everything
So glad none of you guys got hurt!! And your shop did not burn to the ground like the shop from Tim Gentry!! Sho'nuff wil be up and running soon and kick some butt!! And all the rest of the damage is totally repaireble... Check the dyno pit, cause a lot of salty water probably went down that hole.... Thanks for keeping us updated!!
You were a few welds away from getting absolutley smoked in the worst possible way. my leg got burned in a gasoline accident, yrs ago, and it took the skin up faster than we could put it out. You were messing with high volume methanol, welded up into a bomb. I could only imagine the damage that would do. Praise God. This is your second fire, Gods got you close by my man. Ask Him what all this means.
I don't wish something like this on my worst enemy but man, I sure wish it wasn't Brent that it happened to. Such a positive, loving, caring, good hearted guy. They say you get back what you send out and he puts out such great vibes and energy, it's a shame he's gotta deal with this. All the hard work he put into Sho'nuff AFTER taking care of daily operations, dealing with the EPA, pushing the RPM act, helping out with the rest of the guys cars, and being a great Dad while doing it, now he's gotta do it all again. Wish you the best Brent!
Brent I have had a similar fire where I lost my just fully restored 1973 ford F100. You are doing the right thing getting straight back to it mate . Glad you are all ok.
How quick jamie jumped into action, i think he should become your fire / emergency officer at the shop. But watching the whole team act without thought, just acting. They knew what needed to be done and did it. As a team. Yall are awesome.
Brent you have an awesome team! It's so cool that you get to do all of this with your son's. Don't ever feel like you've let anybody down. Your fans, your family and your co-workers are here to support you through all of it and any of it. I'm going to do my part and do what I can and go buy some merch right now!
Glad you guys are alright. Like you said the car be fixed. Great response putting the fire out and sorting out the damage. With your attitude you'll always be a winner!
Brent reminds me of Rocky, gets punched left and right and goes to the floor but gets right back up with fire in his eyes! He never gives up and that's badass. My respect to Brent and the team
Brent of all the times your positivity and videos have made me smile at some of my truly worst moments in life, I wish now more than ever I could repay you and make you smile. Just know yall are loved and appreciated! Dang man, I'm glad yall are all ok.
Glad the motivation hasn't been lost, We all have love for the PFI family and support all you to the fullest as we can. I found Also they do have Foam extinguishers specifically for alcohol/methanol fires,maybe something to look onto just to have a couple around for situations like this. Setbacks like these only make us more knowledgeable, better prepared, and stronger for the comeback!
Just one more thing that goes to show how much of badass you guys are and that nothing is going to slow you down! 🙌 This experience may also save lives, as it's a great example of what can occur with fuel venting!
Champions aren't determined by how many times you get knocked down but by how many times you get back up. I started watching your channel because of this car and I know you will get it on the track soon. I can't wait to see that! Still so thankful no one was seriously hurt!
I'm so heart broken over this situation. Been looking forward to your success with this project. Glad to see/hear that, other than pride, no one got hurt. Even better to see you guys jump right back into it. You are all handling this better than most people would. Excellent display of integrity. All the the best to you guys. Looking forward to see this thing rip.
You guys are blessed!!!! You will over come this bump in the road and, come back harder next time. Brent always comes back harder the next time around!!! Go!PFI!!!!!!!the sky the limit!🚀
Never feel like you have to apologize for providing real content. I'm sure the majority of us like the down to earth content. Also, great teamwork on getting the fire put out! Happy to see everyone safe and Sho'nuff is gonna be back with a vengeance.
In New Zealand we have a Maori(indigenous) phrase KIA KAHA which translates to BE STRONG. You have plenty of MANA Brent (mana is a supernatural/spiritual force in a person, place or object. Mana is integral to each being and is incredibly powerful) Kia Kaha can be a friendly hand on the shoulder reminding you who you are and the MANA you have. It also minds us that we are not alone in our struggles. Kia kaha whanau arohanui (Be strong family, much love)
Number 1 everyone is okay, it is bummer. Positive side the car showed you a flaw she wasn't not ready definitely a set back, you guys will definitely get it fixed and better than before we all know it!
Love all yous guys!!!💪🏼🙏🏻❤️👍🏻 I’m glad your all safe and excited to get back at it on Shonuff !! That’s a great idea to have an emergency plan if that happens again
man if i didn't have a 3 year old id be out there offering my free labor to you guys whether is filming, wrenching, cleaning, whatever. Its beyond deserved. Hard work will pay off. The channel needs more Dyno content and Racing but i know the amout of work it takes to keep the builds going and the shop open. The shop videos are great but maybe too frequent to retain the higher view counts that are more interested in seeing cars make some jam and go down the track. Wish you the best of luck with Shonuff Brent, we know the car will come back better than it was before.
Glad you and PFI are all ok. Sho nuff looks like he will be back soon for sure! Remember you are truly blessed and loved by many brotha that's why you keep going.
Y'all are crushing it. Thank you for showing the struggles of the journey. It's real, it's necessary. It's not all glamor, that would be dull. Keep grinding, Y'all are making the dream reality. Thank you for sharing it with us, so rad 👏💪🙏
The whole PFI crew never quits! You guys are an inspiration to us to keep fighting at all cost. Battling health issues I've felt like quitting many times and you all keep reminding me to never give up. So glad that Stephen and everyone didn't get hurt. I don't know what I would do without your constant positivity in the face of adversity. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us viewers!
Enough is enough! This part of our family, our community, has suffered time and time again! I dont know how we can do it but is it not time to hit up all the vendors, all the manufacturers and industry leaders to acknowledge the commitment and passion that Brent and the PFI crew have instilled in all of us. Let's get Sho'nuff back to the streets of Harlem 👍
I’m very Grateful things weren’t worse and everyone here was ok. I feel we should be able to get the car back up pretty quick . You all have been amazing, we appreciate the support so much. I think i’m just more determined to get back to it and get it worked out.
You are such an amazing homosapien!!! When we meet you get a hug, J Swap Jason.
Keep up the great work 👍
You are one of the most amzing man i ever seen Brent where do you get all the positive energy from? Most people would cry and give up for a while. I hope you get it up soon you really deserve some good in your life. By the way happy new year from norway.

Hey Brent heads up :CLEETUS'S Friend Gentry (Gentry & Son's Trucking) His shop burned down a couple days ago.
Fire extinguisher are a must have. I have had them sprayed on more than one car I have been driving but cleaning the car after is a JoB !!! I believe in you guys you will get it all back together. 💙💙💙

Also from NH 👋
He's a Legend
Hopefully this time he has some sense not to put fuel tank beside the motor 😂😂
@@GoogleUser-yj1wy That's not uncommon on drag cars they still don't really know what happened to cause it it could have blown in the back of the car.

In a strange way you all were lucky this most unfortunate event happened at the shop where you had fire extinguishers and water.

That all said the best thing you can do for Sho’Nuff was doing what you did is washing off the dry chemical fire extinguisher residue. I highly recommend you give Sho’Nuff another good bath.

One last thing when you reinstall the fuel cell have you thought about relocating or extending the vent for the fuel cell to get it farther away from the turbo
Freaking heart breaking that this happened to the coolest guy ever. Sending positive energy.
It should never of happened! The fuel tank was in the engine bay 🤣

This will be redemption, can't wait to see you guys come back stronger. Seeing this make a pass at the track will make it all worth it. Keep fighting!

I can only imagine how difficult this is for you. I wish you all the best Brent & team, you guys rock and will bounce back from this better than ever. Much love!
Nice post. Sometimes we have to reach deeper to consider the outcome. It sucks, but it's so rewarding when it's done and done right. That's what we have to keep in mind to gain the motivation.
Glad no one was hurt and that Sho’nuff wasn’t damaged beyond repair. Y’all can build it back into shape. Keep moving one foot forward.
So glad everyone is OK. As always Your collective positivity is amazing and why you all are so successful.
The truth and honesty behind this channel is amazing, I am so glad you are all safe.. we all care and want your safety no matter what.
Always admired Brent's positive attitude even when times are tough, he always has his focus on the future! Good luck sir!
It's a blessing that no one got hurt and the car was not a total loss. God was watching over you and your family.
The comeback is gonna be real. You guys got that all day long. Within a little time, the next dyno sesh sho'nuff is gonna be putting some numbers down!
I feel like Jeremy would say adapt and overcome - like you need more of that with all the other crap you have going on - but you will overcome this. With your attitude, and the teams attitudes you will get you through this. Car will be better than ever in no time. Your positivity is infectious and will spread faster than the fire! Keep up the good work!!
I miss Jeremy, best Bromance on UA-cam...
@@zechjudd9513 Me too. He did a podcast with Cooper and talked a little bit about why. Maybe he'll be back.
It’s awesome to see you guys getting right back into fixing sho-nuff! And that you’re using what happened to make improvements in the shop. I know I’m definitely gonna go out and get some bigger extinguishers to keep in “the shack.”
It's the vapour that burns which is why fuel fires are so difficult to tackle. Thank Christ it wasn't methanol with it's clear burning flame. Tom Bailey had a methanol tank explode on the track which was not good. I commented on the last video but I'll say it again, I'm so glad no one was hurt, and your positive attitude at an obviously low time is so inspiring.
You guys are awesome. Keep up the hard work. PFI 💪
I’m a car guy, but I can’t afford to play. I however do get to learn and dream by watching you guys. The other day I said family bond +15% . I meant that your family just got stronger. Brent you have started a legacy, and including us let’s us pray for you. Thank you. You boys are so blessed, a lot of people would love to try on your shoes.
There is nothing as valuable as a friend like Jamey.
God speed PFI.
You guys handled that situation perfectly. Like you said everyone remained calm, stepped up, acted as a team and executed. Glad everyone is physically okay. I actually teared up watching the video because I know how hard you work and have worked to have all of this. It's unfortunate, but I admire that you haven't been disheartened enough to lose momentum. The PFI Family/Team is an amazing group of people and I have no doubt you will learn from this and put it behind you as a stepping stone to elevate your game. Love you guys. Can't thank you enough for all that you have done and continue to do.
love to hear that you IMMEDIATELY got the fire extinguishers serviced. The preparedness speaks volumes of what y'all been thru. Love ya guys. Keep fighting.
Damn bro that sucks sooo damn bad. I know it could have been way worse but I cant help to feel absolutely terrible for you guys. It was so close to get on the track too. I'm sure you will get her fixed and back better then ever.
Getting right back to it! Brent is amazing! I was working on a fuel system with a friend and had a fire, he got some burns on his leg, but we finished the build overnight and made the 1300 mile road trip to Cleetus and Cars in Texas!
Take your time! I know it sucks for views and content but we all want to see ShoNuff up and running safely. About to hit the merch store and buy some t shirts or hoodie if in stock. The rise of ShoNuff!
Install fire extinguishers on each side of each door and equally on the opposite side of the shop. I pulled in my driveway with my truck on fire and felt so unprofessional when I called my wife and she didn’t know where one was. I have 3 in the normal places in the house and never told her. It is always after the fact we think about safety and that kind of stuff. Lucky no one was hurt and we can all use this as a learning tool!!! Love you guys!!!
We don't quit, we don't roll over, we don't lay down. We get up, we rise to the occasion, we keep pushing forward and we make shit happen cuz that's who we are !!! Stay safe boys
Best comment!!
Brent has the best attitude of anyone I've ever met or seen. Glad everyone is ok.
This is going to be minor set back on the grand scheme. You guys rock!
Thankful Steven wasn't hurt when that thing blew up in his face, and Jamie was able to get out in time. So many things to be thankful for. Building didn't burn down with customers cars inside. I know it's a step back, but the car is still miles ahead of where it started. Take the time to improve on things that you may could have done better and settled for how it was. You got this!
The pfi family is always in my prayers, this time is no exception😢. So glad Steven booked it out of there!
I have a lot of the same stuff as you guys just hit me up if you need anything. I’m right down the street.
Hey, I noticed the gas tank edges were butt welded, if your fold a lip on the edges of the tank, or fold the ends into a pan that slides into the tank, you can use a stronger Lap weld, and should the weld blow out, the folded lip will still partially block the opening rather than a large gap spilling all the fuel at once.
Hoping for a speedy repair and glad youre all safe.
So sorry that happened to you guys, My heart sank when that explosion happened. I thought the whole car was going to be gone when it exploded like that and Thankfully it's 100% fixable. Glad you guys are alright.
Guys your response to this incident was as perfect as it could have been given the circumstances. Your communication was succinct, accurate, and not conflicting. Everyone knew what they needed to do and everyone took each others' directions without hesitation. I'm so sorry to see this happen to such a fantastic group of people, but I am so impressed by your quick and decisive reaction that saved significantly more than was damaged.
Best thing to come from this, would definitely be an over cautious approach to fuel cells now. Nobody was hurt and vital knowledge was acquired. Shonuff will live, and we'll all be here to support you.
So glad everyone was okay. PFI is an inspiration to all of us in the car scene
Noooo! Sho' nuff! :(.. Well I guess this means for more room for improvement and just a small set back. I believe you guys got this 100% because the hard part is mostly done. Like you said Brent, it is a car and it could be fixed and yes it's a bummer but this stuff happens and maybe it happens for a good reason. It just sucks to see all that hard work you guy's put into it go like that before it hits the drag strip. In fact, better it happened in the shop then at the drag strip where things could have been more catastrophic. You got this Brent just keep your head up man. Sho' nuff will live again maybe better then ever or even the best. You got a blessed and amazing team and all of your fans, family, and friends that are here to support you. I'm glad everyone is ok.
Y’all are animals!! You guys will be back on track in no time!!😎🤙🏼
Industrial size fire hose between the two dynos , guys well done the communication was brilliant .. Jamie you my man are a true leader and thinker .. great job mate ..
Glad nobody was hurt. You took care of the fire, fire readiness score C+. :)
Brent, you have been playing with fire way too much lately, keep it cool for a while please!
You guys are the most honest transparent you tube stars. Showing the struggles along with the victory is hard to do for some people. I picture face to face interactions with you all to be kind hearted genuine dudes. Keep up the good content and loving the more frequent videos.
Honestly yalls response was textbook , you did everything you could with honestly minimum damage. Part of the game, proud of you guys. It'll be even better when you fix everything
So glad none of you guys got hurt!! And your shop did not burn to the ground like the shop from Tim Gentry!! Sho'nuff wil be up and running soon and kick some butt!! And all the rest of the damage is totally repaireble... Check the dyno pit, cause a lot of salty water probably went down that hole.... Thanks for keeping us updated!!
You were a few welds away from getting absolutley smoked in the worst possible way. my leg got burned in a gasoline accident, yrs ago, and it took the skin up faster than we could put it out. You were messing with high volume methanol, welded up into a bomb. I could only imagine the damage that would do. Praise God. This is your second fire, Gods got you close by my man. Ask Him what all this means.
I don't wish something like this on my worst enemy but man, I sure wish it wasn't Brent that it happened to. Such a positive, loving, caring, good hearted guy. They say you get back what you send out and he puts out such great vibes and energy, it's a shame he's gotta deal with this. All the hard work he put into Sho'nuff AFTER taking care of daily operations, dealing with the EPA, pushing the RPM act, helping out with the rest of the guys cars, and being a great Dad while doing it, now he's gotta do it all again. Wish you the best Brent!
This is a TEAM and a FAMILY live no other!! Drag racing brings the best together and you guys are just the damn best!!!
Brent I have had a similar fire where I lost my just fully restored 1973 ford F100. You are doing the right thing getting straight back to it mate . Glad you are all ok.
How quick jamie jumped into action, i think he should become your fire / emergency officer at the shop. But watching the whole team act without thought, just acting. They knew what needed to be done and did it. As a team. Yall are awesome.
You're the most positive man on earth Brent, glad everyone is ok
Again, I'm glad no one got hurt. Remember, Life is all about how we handle plan "B". Great attitude about this whole situation.
Brent you have an awesome team! It's so cool that you get to do all of this with your son's. Don't ever feel like you've let anybody down. Your fans, your family and your co-workers are here to support you through all of it and any of it. I'm going to do my part and do what I can and go buy some merch right now!
Thank you PFI for being a positive example for our community
I know you’re burnt brother but don’t give up. Many of us watching need your encouragement and tenacity. We’re pulling for you brother.
Glad you guys are alright. Like you said the car be fixed. Great response putting the fire out and sorting out the damage. With your attitude you'll always be a winner!
Brent reminds me of Rocky, gets punched left and right and goes to the floor but gets right back up with fire in his eyes! He never gives up and that's badass. My respect to Brent and the team
Brent of all the times your positivity and videos have made me smile at some of my truly worst moments in life, I wish now more than ever I could repay you and make you smile. Just know yall are loved and appreciated! Dang man, I'm glad yall are all ok.
Glad everyone is okay. Sho nuff the shogun of harlem will be back im sure of it. I'll continue to support this community.
Glad the motivation hasn't been lost, We all have love for the PFI family and support all you to the fullest as we can. I found Also they do have Foam extinguishers specifically for alcohol/methanol fires,maybe something to look onto just to have a couple around for situations like this. Setbacks like these only make us more knowledgeable, better prepared, and stronger for the comeback!
Just one more thing that goes to show how much of badass you guys are and that nothing is going to slow you down! 🙌
This experience may also save lives, as it's a great example of what can occur with fuel venting!
Bring sho nuff back better then ever! We are here watching and supporting!
Way to get at it and keep making progress. Crazy how that happened. Definitely a good lesson for all of us.
Champions aren't determined by how many times you get knocked down but by how many times you get back up. I started watching your channel because of this car and I know you will get it on the track soon. I can't wait to see that! Still so thankful no one was seriously hurt!
I'm so heart broken over this situation. Been looking forward to your success with this project. Glad to see/hear that, other than pride, no one got hurt. Even better to see you guys jump right back into it. You are all handling this better than most people would. Excellent display of integrity. All the the best to you guys. Looking forward to see this thing rip.
Better, faster, stronger !
Schneller, besser, stärker als der rest!
Again. Possessions can be replaced. Your boys and Jamie being safe is everything.
You guys are blessed!!!! You will over come this bump in the road and, come back harder next time. Brent always comes back harder the next time around!!! Go!PFI!!!!!!!the sky the limit!🚀
Never feel like you have to apologize for providing real content. I'm sure the majority of us like the down to earth content. Also, great teamwork on getting the fire put out! Happy to see everyone safe and Sho'nuff is gonna be back with a vengeance.
In New Zealand we have a Maori(indigenous) phrase KIA KAHA which translates to BE STRONG. You have plenty of MANA Brent (mana is a supernatural/spiritual force in a person, place or object. Mana is integral to each being and is incredibly powerful) Kia Kaha can be a friendly hand on the shoulder reminding you who you are and the MANA you have. It also minds us that we are not alone in our struggles.
Kia kaha whanau arohanui
(Be strong family, much love)
Number 1 everyone is okay, it is bummer. Positive side the car showed you a flaw she wasn't not ready definitely a set back, you guys will definitely get it fixed and better than before we all know it!
I'm glad everyone is OK. The car just keeps getting better. one step back and two giant steps forward. Continue the good work.
Love all yous guys!!!💪🏼🙏🏻❤️👍🏻
I’m glad your all safe and excited to get back at it on Shonuff !!
That’s a great idea to have an emergency plan if that happens again
Just building resolve to get it right and start wailing on it!
Roll with the punches Hoss!
Y'all got this!!!
Dude, this is setbacks of the average car guy. Literally happens to all of us, and you made all the right decisions 🤙
Jamie was really calm under pressure. Real world applications of that driver mod.
Damn buddy!!….. sorry to see this!!! 😢 your positivity and determination at a time like this is not only impressive, but also contagious.
Never give up, Brent! Glad you're all ok. Best in the business.
man if i didn't have a 3 year old id be out there offering my free labor to you guys whether is filming, wrenching, cleaning, whatever. Its beyond deserved. Hard work will pay off. The channel needs more Dyno content and Racing but i know the amout of work it takes to keep the builds going and the shop open. The shop videos are great but maybe too frequent to retain the higher view counts that are more interested in seeing cars make some jam and go down the track. Wish you the best of luck with Shonuff Brent, we know the car will come back better than it was before.
Glad you and PFI are all ok. Sho nuff looks like he will be back soon for sure! Remember you are truly blessed and loved by many brotha that's why you keep going.
I love positive energy. You guys rock ❤
Y'all are crushing it. Thank you for showing the struggles of the journey. It's real, it's necessary. It's not all glamor, that would be dull. Keep grinding, Y'all are making the dream reality. Thank you for sharing it with us, so rad 👏💪🙏
The whole PFI crew never quits! You guys are an inspiration to us to keep fighting at all cost. Battling health issues I've felt like quitting many times and you all keep reminding me to never give up. So glad that Stephen and everyone didn't get hurt. I don't know what I would do without your constant positivity in the face of adversity. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us viewers!
Unbelievable positivity, PFI got no quit!
Sending vibes from Straya!!!
Enough is enough! This part of our family, our community, has suffered time and time again! I dont know how we can do it but is it not time to hit up all the vendors, all the manufacturers and industry leaders to acknowledge the commitment and passion that Brent and the PFI crew have instilled in all of us. Let's get Sho'nuff back to the streets of Harlem 👍
