May I suggest to paint the screw in handles in a bright flashy safety color? You know, so that they are easy to spot when I've of them gets forgotten to be removed before a run. Just in case.

Dude, I did the same thing with my 2000 Tacoma. Unfortunately, I only found out when the wheel passed me while the sparks were flying. I’m glad you caught the problem before it got to that point. Nice work on the racecar. Glad to see it making the pass.

Kiwi Steve is a super nice guy. He wandered up to our pit in 2015 at the first Ranchero's first [24 hours of lemons] race and saw a bunch of millenial idiots scratching our heads over "how do carburetor work". He spent the rest of the evening walking us through carb troubleshooting and tuning. And it ran better when it got fuel (we were on a mechanical fuel pump, and when replaced it with an electric pump out of a Civic the next day, the car was able to go up the hills at Sears Point. He helped us get a "class win" at our first race...). Anyway, shout out to Kiwi Steve indeed. What a legend. I'm glad he's still hanging around the SoCal grassroots motorsports scene.
You have definitely stumbled upon something that should elicit further study. I too am capable but not willing, but unfortunately in a more lopsided ratio. I own 8 and have fixed almost nothing in years.

Many times when younger to the Harsenhorn Mountain at Todtnau to fly model gliders. Fantastic part of the world (when its not raining, and the tops of the mountains are not in cloud, but that just makes more time for beer).
Smart trailer rig FTW!! I love having a hitch on the front of my trailer rig! Maneuvering a trailer in a tight space with the front wheels is sooooo easy!!
I did my brakes for the first time when I was 19. About two weeks later, going for a drive, hear a ‘ping’ from the driver’s side wheel. I get home, wonder what it is. Next drive back up, tap the brakes, and hear a caliper slipping and grabbing. Ah, caliper bolt ejected itself last night. Great. New bolt. Added loctite and torqued. You make that mistake only about once, hopefully
The same thing happened to my friend's 4runner, one of those bolts fell out and his CV separated itself when he turned. We were off-roading when it happened and luckily we had all the tools to remove the CV. We went to a small local hardware store, we didn't know it till later but we used a bolt with the wrong thread pitch, but it was a short bolt so it still went together and he drove home on it. Later he replaced it with an OEM bolt. Before it happened his friend helped him replace the front shocks and we think that they both thought the other person was going to torque those bolt down with a torque wrench and it didn't get properly torqued.
slap them stickers on and clear coat it. maybe add some superfastmatt color to the clear but it looks cool as an unfinished project. Also had that bolt issue as well on my Taco but it was the front bolt. the shaft didn't fall out , fun parking lot repairs.
So leaving the start line without the push vehicle was in fact the correct decision. If the ball joint issue would have become serious during the push, you might have had serious problems with two cars, not to mention the drivers. If it weren't for dumb luck.....you know the rest. Glad you had a good run with the streamliner, that wake or lake thereof is impressive. Keep at it.
Those bolts are all but welded in there now. The heat you'll have to apply to get them out will make you have to replace every rubber component within a half metric mile of the bsll joint.
Great to see the car working well for the most part. next time it's on a speedrun, if the cockpit cam could include the speedometer i think that would elevate the watching experience of the run.
feels so out of place for this channel to just see that car run so smoothly with no real issues obviously there's other stuff to make up for it, but still, what year is it? but seriously congrats, on the way to greatness!

Ah yes, Allen Millyard's V10 motorcycle.
He's currently working on restoring to record breaking form the 1990 V8 Norton concept motorcycle.
Geez. I just realized I've now been watching you for years. Great stuff, time flies! Keep up the good work.
I absolutely love this channel and Matt's delivery. ❤
GREAT storytelling and humor! First-time watcher and
SUBSCRIBED!!
Yay for the "The Länd" Sticker. I´m surprised you only got forty of them. I´ll just tell myself the one on the tailfin is mine. ;)
Kudos from NZ. Nice to hear Kiwi Steve was friendly. Your sense of humor is very down under and a pleasure to chuckle over. Thanks for invisible selfie stick, this ancient engineer had not heard of them. Keep posting.
I see Future Matt with a blowtorch going towards the 3runner after rewatching the footage to notice Past Matt use the red locktite...
Awesome vid, awesome run, and awesome support crew you had out there with you. I cant wait to see you grab that record next year!
The nett hier sticker really hits home….because it’s from the county I’m from
Wow! Congrats for such a "real" achievement for a channel that's usually "a smart guy d*cks about with real cool engineering" one, that I've subscribed to forever. Kudos Matt
16:04 All Hail the Algorithm 🙌
Been trying to find a convenient place to put all my small parts bins and at the beginning of the video, the ones at the end of the bench just gave me the answer. I will be making a setup to put them under my 4x8 work table where only one half is organized underneath. Thanks for clearing my mental block....
GOOD TUFF MATE 💪 !

This was my first time watching one of uour videos; loved the pacing of the video and humor, you earned yourself a sub and a new fan!
Matt still tryna convince us he finished something huh. Can't fool m- oh.
Fluid dynamics and a sense of humor. Love the video, Matt. :)
Yes, red locktite will be cursed by future Matt😂
Super happy for you - congratulations on getting your license!
Aero seems perfect for now, other areas of the HamSammer might benefit more from incremental improvements as you inch closer to full throttle
