      I love your dad's chill personality, he seems so calm and collected, under all that pressure on a big day like that with the camera and bystanders watching his every move.
      What a nice guy, hope he enjoys the car.

    To get in any unfamiliar race car at the strip and go straight down the rack is daunting, and to have Steve Morris filming you as well would be unsettling for anyone, it's a lot to take in, well done Steve and Val you did a good job and what a prize!

  • @matthewwelborn9795
    @matthewwelborn9795 Місяць тому +16

    The pressure of getting in a unfamiliar fast car for the first time and trying to do everything perfectly, anyone would make mistakes. For les not racing for awhile he's got to get back into the groove and learn the car, but I personally think he did great with all the pressure .

  •  Місяць тому +33

    I don't care what your age is, that is so much information to take in, with cameras rolling, also. Race electronics, trans brake, shifter, super big loud horsepower, etc., is lots of pressure. From the beginning, to the end of this video, showed us a different Les. He will be fine.

    • @petert3355
      @petert3355 Місяць тому +3

      Don't forget, Les has not driven for near a decade apparently. The video showed a lot of "rust" dropping off.
      Once he gets comfortable...... He'll be dialed in.
      I'm willing to bet, that first pass.... as he crossed the finish line...... HUGE GRIN.....

    Steve's channel and a few others are pur gold. KSR RACING FABRICATION , a few others.
    Deffinately old man's garage teaching a 15 year old this week that ran a second n a half faster than allowed.
    And handled that car like a champ that Lil lady did
    Big bill loves to teach the craft also..
    I'd love to see and SM engine one day in an SRC or old man's garage car.

    In 70 years, I've never won anything in a contest drawing, etc. The only way I won playing blackjack in Reno during college was because my gf was dealer, & they showed us how to beat the odds.
    But, life is funny, & I've learned to listen to it. I had a feeling about Sugar Momma while watching one of your videos, so I did the unusual & bought a couple of shirts.
    But, like I said, life is funny. I pondered the what if. I'm still recovering from nearly 4 yrs of 3 cancer 'occurances' after being devastated, financially, by a brain injury at 50, which left me as a literal pauper.
    No complaints, I lived 3-4 lives in 50 years & have a shop & a World Series ring, (1988), w/ my name on it.
    Thought about how much Steve still wanted the car & decided if I won, I'd work it out to do Sick Week, then give the car back to Steve. (Already have 2 cars I need a shop for & no way could I afford to maintain Sugar Momma & pursue my current goals.)
    Life is funny, close but no cigar; sometimes you gotta step aside for seniority. Close, one letter off the last names & my Meghan has one more.
    Close... you're setting the bar for YT car giveaways; a sweet effing car, 15K & a day w/ you AT the track, which is priceless.
    You're a good man, Steve.
