Not sure if you guys heard, but our new mullet six seconds t-shirt is out now. This shirt is only available on pre-order until tomorrow, at midnight, this shirt came out. Awesome has the time slip from mullet's. First, six second pass check it out at cleacmanfront.com.

After the video, let's get to the live action, hell yeah brother you're, on the policeman for on youtube channel morning, guys we are tx2k bound a few hours after we loaded it's very foggy, but we are hitting the road literally see the moisture in the air. It's crazy boys 544, a gallon! Oh i no questioning it if it was. You know, apart from the race car, but golly looks like we're going to go in and get a couple packs of ramen. That's spicy all right boys taking fuel up boy.

These prices are spicy, we are at love's in gulfport right now filled up. The truck is super dirty getting it washed when we get to houston but uh running like a champ, so we are just going to fuel up and keep rolling one more stop just to top off. We can definitely make it to houston right now, but we're going to stop one more time and top it off, so the generator has plenty of fuel all right. Ladies and gents, we have officially made it to tx2k.

There are rigs all around we're the only ones awake pulling the spark out. We just say the buckies we're gassed up, even though we just drove all day we're just pumped up so get a little burnout going real quick come on easy, now easy now flat spot. My wheels dude guy can't drive, can't drive dude all right, everybody, big buenos dias. We have made it to px2k ruby's warming up.

We got ta figure out that hood gap where it's gon na rip, the hood off good morning. What you're doing buddy retorquing some heads yeah we're actually feeling a little crazy this morning doing it on the lift yeah. It's actually not too bad. Get those heads extra tight dude.

We need an extra tight today feeling a little crazy instead of 110 supposed to be at. We went to 125 in the shot yeah most spiciest when i didn't have a dr pepper, because i went to 135.. So look at that all the clamping force. Now.

Oh yeah, all right: let's do it all right, big bonus guys. We have these guys from detailed mobile detailers drove down here to houston and they are cleaning the toter look at the shine dude, so they're just ripping off this thing. Any detail we drove through a bunch of rain yesterday which tore it up. So i made a facebook post like who in houston can come mobile detail the unit and these guys showed up right away.

Dude, so they're getting dialed in looking good, definitely might be a good thing. It might be a bad thing, maybe good baby there's no way. You're passing back bud get out of here. I already passed dude, i'm in i'm right how's.

That look are we approved approved. We only get one round of qualifying today boys because they're already behind, so we only have one qualifier period or just one. Today we get one today two tomorrow. What do you think should i just run to the eighth or just go all the way? I it depends we'll see what the like weather does yeah.
I just wrote a tune up for it. I pulled something on the back end of it. Just like you don't need to kill it first yeah. What do you think, like 40 pounds of boost or something yeah, probably probably somewhere between 38 and 40? Okay? Are you gon na okay? So we're running hard all the way out, yeah so we'll see.

I'm more concerned with the first 30 feet: yeah! That's really all i'm concerned about the first 30 feet is the hardest part and then ruby. We just need to go like a 780 780 with ruby and we'll put us turn it down. I think that's in there. So we want, we don't want ruby to end up in the really really fast class with the elko.

We want ruby to end up in the slower class and then we can race the field, because ruby can really only go about a 750. So if we keep her in the slow class, she'll have a chance of winning if she ends up in the fast class and we'll be in trouble bending rods. So we got a couple weird things: today we got gear change, went from a 340 to a 325, so we don't go through the traps at so much rpm, and then we also got wider tire, which is going to help so same tire, wider wheel, wider wheel, A little more contact patch, so maybe we can hammer it a little harder. Well yeah, we'll see we'll see we're getting fired up.

Dude you're excited, i'm excited, i mean dude, it's ts2k, you got ta, do something all right. Sam you're done sam you're done no you're done, looks pretty good man. Thank you guys for coming out appreciate it. We got the toner all dialed in sam.

What you think. I think it looks fantastic look at it, love the ear part. Okay, a lot of time. All right.

I want to show everyone what our fridge looks like on a weekend trip. We got this sucker dialed, dr peps, do's, blue powerades and purple pyramids are cool but they're. You know they're all right. A couple shred bowls for jack stand some water for emergencies, some milk for our cookies sam made a lot of cookies, so we're dialed there.

We are looking good yeah i like driving in bs. Finally gon na go racing. One pass today hurry up and wait. Brother zach's up twerking, ahead to the crack of dawn for our 9 a.m.

Hit it's now, 5 p.m. Hey look guys! It's kind of like an apple one pass today, yeah guys we got tire covers for once to keep our tires consistent pressures and the sun's not even hitting, maybe that one a little bit all right boys here we go first pass qualifying. Let's do it. We got james here james, going to be racing mullet today.

I know that makes you nervous. How do you feel about that? I'm going to mess them up on the tree? Oh you're gon na play mind games. I think he's used to your games. I make up new ones as i go.

Look at these two bullets here we go big backfire out mullen so now about to grab my gear ruby just shut off like lost all power. I wonder if you lost uh crank signal, i don't know, did you have power on the screen back up? Okay, all right! So james lost frank's angle, waste, one deniers, good, fireball! Out of the side, did it spin and hit the limiter yeah i mean it hit hit the lever, which is what 8800. So i mean, okay. Well, that's not a bad thing to check the rockers.
I bet i'll definitely check them. It couldn't have been good for now. It was a good. It was a good fireball.

I'm sure you'll see it in the footage yeah. I think he let out at the eighth. Oh his car shut off. Oh, it shut off, although he lost great single, but mullen hasn't spun that far out so long yeah your gear changed so yeah we're gon na fight.

That's when it's fun, so maybe we just need to lower the shift rpm on the one two for this track. Rolling out on them didn't see them, and then i went to go shift and the thing just like shut off like lost all powers. It's weird: i win a 123 60 foot. James win a 124 dude, oh 11, on the tree to an o 44..

I want to give you that one all right, so we both spun before the 3 30.. Very you shot off by. I did i like all the buttons, but i just stayed in it and drove through it's fine. I'm going to go grab that gear for the shifter.

It's like lost mine spot on all right guys. So let the cars cool off. What are you seeing? Nate uh? It did it before it shifted. It did do it before the show yeah.

I think i'll might make it shift sooner. Okay, so that there's not pull some power out of the converter on a good track. We could do that this track. We got off the starting line, which was that i thought you know 40 feet, we'd be good, but yeah.

It hasn't finally done forever, but rear gear is like a whole new car. You were all in all the boost was in yeah before that it spun. So, as far as ruby goes, we'll figure that out yeah all right guys. Well, we think we figured out ruby, we're pretty sure that she lost rpm signal.

It doesn't say that it did in the data log, but sometimes data log can't pick up every millisecond of. What's happening, it depends on your data log rate, so we adjusted her crank signal pickup and the car is running and started up better. It might have been a little bit too far away from the magnets on the balancer and it wasn't picking up a clean, rpm signal. Now it seems good, so we should be all right all right.

Well, let's try it we'll see and as for mullet, so what i did was i shortened to the shift time that's going to shift at 1.6571.95 and then that area where the boost comes in, i just softened it just a little bit, so it should be good. It'll soften it up it'll shift into the second gear. I think the early shift is going to be key. Like mark mickey.

The first thing he told me was well, we were shifting it earlier. It was going, oh yeah and i assume, but shifting it early won't. Let the so shifting it really. Well, i converter couple okay, so i figured with a longer gear, it would shift even earlier and be okay, but that was not the case.
So just shifted earlier now see what it does. We always you know, change a lot of stuff at the best time. Yeah i mean it's, it's a gear change, so you got ta, usually play with things a little bit. It left good, so i mean that's part of it wishes.

We just left the other gear in it and locked the converter, but well now everybody's like oh, you don't want that thing and i'm like dude. Everybody said not to. I don't know crankshaft on the track, but i guess we'll just leave the crankshaft on the track. All right so we'll uh we'll see if it doesn't go down next time, we'll throw the 340 in it and go back to where we were yeah all right guys.

Well, that's it for tonight. You know we don't get another pass tonight. We did what we did for now and uh. We got to hope that our changes work for tomorrow.

We only have two qualifying hits tomorrow. That's it for now, thanks for watching new. For now we will freaking see you later bye.

    I really think you need a Steve Morris built engine. Well worth the money.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Christopher Stein says:

    Got any idea after the Mullet pre order is out for a more permanent shirt. Have the decal from the starting line looking at him on the big end with shoots out and the timing board showing the numbers. Then as he gets faster all your need to do is update the numbers on the timing board, just a thought.
