    One thing about that last shot, Cleet giving the trophy to one of the kids in the stands. I was literally that little kid at one point at a local circle track racing event, i still have the trophy too. One of the guys that won gave me the trophy and I will absolutely never forget that memory. Spanaway Speedway in Washington, they tore it down years ago unfortunately but it was one these types of events. Love that shit, i wish we still had more of them.

    I worked for Indy Cylinder Head back in the day, we used to "break in" top fule motors for Joe Gibbs on our engine dyno from time to time. Probably the worst experence of my life. To be in a small room with a running nitro motor is madness, I'm amazed no one died. The exhaust is pure tear gas, it's so loud it hurts your chest, everything will burn you, and that blower belt will litterally rip your arm off.

    I did some bracket racing in highschool, street pulls as I got older, maybe 50 1/4 mile runs in my life and seeing Cleet come this far is insane to watch. I mean them building a ten second car out of pretty much anything they want is super fast. 10 seconds is a bad ass car. Then to see cleet slowly make his way to 9,8,7 and now 6's in mullet is pretty standard. 100k motors and free floating rear ends is a super high level of racing. Yet, its almost a bigger gap from top fuel to mullet then the gap from mullet to sam's f150. To have a team of guys to run one car. 100's of thousands of dollars for one weekend. shit, lets call it a million after you account for salaries, the rig, all the items you replace. So insane to see how far it really goes in racing. Hats off Cleet, i see a pro mod in ur future!

Clay is a down to earth guy. The Honda van with the plaid underwear is pretty damn quick. The Plaidessey needs cornering to beat that Porsche. The acceleration is definitely there but on that short a track, cornering is everything. Cleetus has friends in high places.👍👍🇨🇦

      Sorry for the confusion
      Developments in fuel delivery, intake design, clutch application, small details and track prep have contributed to improving hp estimates.
      Any top fuel driver knows they spin the entire run which makes it a little bit tricky to calculate the hp 😑
      A dyno run shows a better projected hp figure without the wheel spin
