Well said. I never keep secrets to protect my own ass, I always pass on every piece of knowledge or experience I have ever gained. That’s what keeps the wheels turning.

Sorry to nitpick, but air or a whirlpool inducing air is not cavitation. Cavitation is when a liquid changes to a vapor state due to a change in pressure, as when a pump is trying to suck in a liquid but there is a restriction, which creates collapsing voids.

The speed doesn’t amaze me, it’s the torque the tires and wheels handle and you never see a failure. Incredible.

Travelling Circus! Best description...

Get a CDL! Yep. Don't have one. Not close to Indianapolis either. Oh well..

Do they really need 800+ HP to drive them?

HEY ! You can't say pussy ! LOL

You are awesome ! I enjoy your channel ! There’s nothing you can’t do ! 😊

All of it.....

flows manifold blower

I thought about building a top fuel blender 20 years ago out of one of my windowed KB motors to sell margaritas at drag races but my lawyer and not having a liquor licence in every town they race in squelched that idea, PLUS fuel, oil, plugs, ice, booze, mix, towing, motels, bruton smith vender booth costs, etc a 20oz margarita would cost a customer $100 a pop so drag racing attendance falling off the last 10 years i decided to drop that idea.

Someone needs to design and build a mini blown V8 for these junior dragsters or atleast a blown V6👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯😉

It must be impossible to try and atomize 120 GPM!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!

I know this is strictly top fuel stuff… but did the guys as star racer ever say anything like “our belts like more tension”? Only reason I’m asking is, I just put one on my 565 and set it up like my old rubber/nylon belt was slack wise. Now when I whack the throttle, you can see the “slack” side of the belt rise up off the blower pulley. Basically trying to jump teeth… Wondering if I need to run it a little tighter, or will it hurt anything. I definitely don’t want to stress the crank or blower snout…

Great to see you in AZ Rob !

I traded all my plastic snapon hammers back in for wood handles. The plastic ones are garbage

My Mac ball peen hammers did the same thing.....that material has a definite life span.😆

I’ve got my semi license, I can tig weld everything, I can fabricate, I’ve been involved in racing my whole life. I’ve been running with a few RvW teams. I grew up around funny cars. My only downfall to what y’all need is I love 5 minutes from RT 66 Raceway and dave Harris is my uncle😂

Clay Millican! STOMP ON THAT LOUD PETAL!

Absolutely excellent very talented

Love watching your videos ,thanks for charing🤘😎

Wish I would have stumbled into you many years ago. Your not mean your just serious about what has to be done.

I’m surprised a professional top fuel builder is using an adjustable wrench.

43 billion for one ride? 😅

I worked my butt off on my brothers competition eliminator dragster back in the eighties and didn’t get paid squat. However, it was the best time of my life lol. 😊

How and where can I apply for this job?

I’d work for you but you’d have to drop the attitude and be willing to learn. 😮😊

Rob where do I apply? I live 20 min or so away from Brownsburg.

Hard work. Yep, it will be. Rewarding work? Yeah, I bet it is. But you have a multi-million dollar race team that pushes the very limits of what can be done in 1000ft. One mistake can be disasterous not only on race results, but also on the very lives of those on the team and in the stands. I helped out on a sportman team years ago. It was hard work and I had the easy job. I admire anybody who can do it for a living. I can't... but I can be a fan!

I saw Dan race at Bristol last year, very impressive!!!!!

Excellent!!

I did wrench turning in the minor leagues of racing for 12 or so years. Met cool people, did a lot of cool things and in general I had fun……but it’s a grind. Long hours, stress, working weekends, especially holiday weekends and traveling the country visiting race tracks, truck stops and hotel rooms. Yes I traveled a lot but I literally only saw the track, the hotel or air bnb and a few truck stops along the way. When you’re living out of a toterhome with 3-4 other doods you shit n shower at truck stops or the race track, doing laundry is an ordeal and eating out all the time gets old. Anyone looking at getting into it, understand it’s not a job it’s a lifestyle.

Great video. I have thought of applying to a team for a long while now, this video explained a lot. My only is that I’m located in Canada and would need to apply for a work visa before hand.

I wish there was a platform that would give crew people the opportunity to talk about their experience. It's a cold game out there, and sometimes the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Cruz gets a new crew every year he must not pay well. What team is this ? I see hauler is all white no sponsors?

My advice to any applicant...Be careful what you wish for. I've lived it touring with a dirt late model team. The days get mighty long even if you're winning. Especially when you have a family at home. I wouldn't trade the memories for anything but it became too much. Rob you're spot on. Young and single? I'd say live your dream but remember its not as glamorous as it seems.

I’ve worked on an alcohol team off and on for 30 years. I would never want to work on a fuel car

At the first of the video i seen a old Suburban , is that one of Bruce Litton's im sure you know him ,, just wondering ,, Thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for your videos 🤘😎

Hard to find good dedicated employees today. Video games and cellphones have corrupted their brains. Your primary candidate would be ex military, truck drivers or railroaders. 3 groups of people that probably couldn't tell you what day of the week it is.

rob thanks for the good info an been real about wats going with the team

When you realize how few people are actually involved with a top flight team , it gives me pride that Lew Arrington put MY name on the rear wing on the SMOKIN JOE'S MUSTANG!! in 1996 !!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

GREAT INFO.......Most people don't think about this.

Sometimes the most appropriate person can come along at the most unexpected time. Chances are it's that kid that knocks on the shop door without even knowing you're looking for someone. 👍

Great video sir. Very very informative. I’m a healthy 60 and have a class A CDL license with Hazmat and doubles/ tanker endorsement. I’m married so probably not the best fit for me. But I truly appreciate this video. I wish I’d seen this before Gainesville, I worked the event on the starting line and we probably stood right next to each other and I could have thanked you L I V E. Have a great season. Im rootin’ for ya.

Sounds to me like any good supervisor, lead foreman, whatever you want to call the person in charge of a crew, whether it's a small crew such as 4 to 5 individuals or someone who has 100 people under the one in charge of the operation. You teach those willing to learn, put the effort into whatever they're doing, and you try to teach them every aspect of the job, as well as why things are done this way. Also you put those willing to put in the hours with someone who will teach them what he knows specifically about the trade that he's good at during. Then you put that person or persons with another top hand, and repeat the lessons only with his perspective on his ways of doing things how the foreman, supervisor wants things done, because he's usually got a established memethodology for doing things that are proven to be productive and efficient in whatever she trade is. Being a construction worker supervisor superintendent however you chose to say it, I've worked more 12 to 10 hour days and many weekends that the average worker in most other types of jobs never see the amount of hours worked week after week for months nonstop. Takes different kind of person do do that like a lot of trades people do, especially in every type of weather condition you can imagine.. And not always are we on day shift as you get plenty of jobs where you can be on nights for who knows how long. My kids would get up every morning, and I was long gone, and they went to bed before I got home in the evening. It's hard on marriages, and it's hard on the kids equally hard on the one working those hours.. Yet that's how we support our families, and hopefully make it to where you can put them through college, and nice sum to retire on with the wife, or husband. So yeah partying all the time, halfass hung over doesn't cut it, because most of us do our jobs to the best of our ability, and those that do those types of things, aren't typically able to make it for reasons I don't have to explain

I knew I should have stuck around 30 years ago! Lol Goodluck Rob!

It gets real old,your in all kinds of weather don’t know what town you wake up in. If you don’t win or aren’t competitive it’s horrible.

Patience with others sounds nill. You sound jaded by your past experiences with everyone.

Well said and explained Rob and is absolutely like the Circus , your presenting a big top show ! 👍😎
