Eagles FASTEST Pass Ends in DISASTER! (World Cup Finals Day 1)

Pass did not go like we hoped. Thankfully, Troy's all right, but that could have been really, really, really bad. Holy cow. It knocked a bunch of stuff out. Wow. ****. Man. What do you think, Cameron? Not good. Not good. Let's see what we can do. My wife's first race, and we've already spent a whole Bronco this week. It's been rough, for sure. You deserve the Bronco, for sure. Thank you. We're going to get you one. That could have been really, really bad. Boy, good to see Jason Abbey for that. Yeah, he can help us out for sure. Guys, that was pretty bad. Ain't gonna lie. No, that's scary. You come back and look at everything and really start to, like, think how lucky you are. I was going down through there, and that happened. I ripped the chute out as fast as I could, and within two seconds, I was on the radio with Bradley. You know, like, hey, I'm good, like, whatever. Just got to get the car stopped. But it's the second time that that's happened, and it's not pleasant at all. Yeah. You know? That was a lot worse than the first time, too. So, again, thankfully, you're okay. We need to look at everything and see if this is fixable here or if we're done for the week. But that's pretty bad. I mean, like, this is what scares me most, like, if that shifter bar wasn't there. Yeah. That's coming clean, clean through. Well, you can see, too, like, it spun that around. Like, it's... As you guys know, I say, this is less than ideal. It's less than ideal. It's not ideal for sure. Yeah. I'm going to be honest, this week hasn't been ideal. No. We haven't had many ideal situations. It hasn't, but, like, that is, like, that has nothing to do with anything that anybody did. Like, literally, we had the shaft out while we were waiting on the engine, went through the whole torque converter. freshened everything had the drive shaft out, checked everything, all the u-joints everything was fine, great, so it's not like we didn't check any of this stuff, I literally checked it yesterday before that pass because that is an unknown quarter mile racing with these cars because of the separation the angle that you get with the drive shaft, so that was just serviced yesterday and checked and just crazy unfortunate, yeah, you know, let's I guess let's look at the rest of the damages yes, you know, see what else do we see, what it is realistically if we can fix it or not go from there, but we got a mess, best case scenario we got a we got a real mess, I mean this, you don't have any rocks, man, how's your, yeah my fire suit is uh pretty bad, my helmets Smoked. smoked. I mean like. Even the steering wheel. I mean like everything is covered in fluid. I honestly thought that it uh, I honestly thought it blew the converter up to be honest with you. Yeah. When it happened. I didn't know it was a drive shaft because it was like a bomb went off to start with and then uh. Just a plume of fluid and everything else, so I thought it was the torque converter when it happened, and then you're going so fast, like you just hear the boom, you don't hear any of the drive shaft rattling in the tunnel, but as you start to slow down, it's just like, you know, it's just rotating in there and tearing itself up and everything else. So at that point, I knew it was the drive shaft. I've got to get this thing apart and assess the damage and see what we're going to do from there, I guess. Not good, not good you know. So we have some time to get the car fixed. Troy did bring his welder and the trailer along with a lot of other stuff. We'll hopefully get this stuff fixed and be ready for the next qualifier. We might not even miss one. Don't be taking pictures. No, no this is all right. It's rough over here. Well it happens. This is a racetrack repair. I tell people when you fix stuff at the racetrack it's not going to look like Danny did it and spent three days doing it because we just got to get back on the track. But it's going to be right. So we're going So we're going to weld this up the best we can. Right and to be extra safe we got this turbo blanket that's going to cover where the u-joint would be just to make sure let's just hope nothing happens right and if we have this it probably won't it won't but just to be safe we have this turbo blanket to cover that in case anything happens. I'm starting We got some color in there. That's all right. That's good. Hey, that's gold though. That's to better than other colors. We got a tunnel done. We got everything cleaned up. Ready for a drive speak shaft. And we got a fresh drive shaft right here. Weather permitting. We're going to make it today, you think, or what? We're going to make it. You think? Yeah. I think we're going to do something now. cooler for him. Listen, I don't want to do anything cool. I want it to be super boring. Look, just like this, just super boring. No excitement. We don't need any more exciting stuff. We have plenty of content. Yes, yes. No more exciting stuff. Nice boring pass would be great. Oh my god. Nice boring pass is what we're looking for next round. I don't even care if it's fast. Just boring. Yeah. All right. Well, we got our, I guess you'd call that a repaired tunnel. Ha, ha, ha, ha. It's in there. You won't see that with the turbo blanket. No, the turbo blanket's going to cover it up. Nice. Yeah, we'll make it look pretty. Yeah. We'll come back in a few minutes. All right. We got everything what we think is fixed. Yep. And we're going to try to fire it up. Yep. This is the moment. There's no more racing for tonight. So we have until tomorrow. I think we're done. Hopefully. Hopefully we're done. Don't blame me. Brian, we've got to have better luck tomorrow. It is Saturday, and we are ready for Q2, or well, we were ready for Q2. You guys saw we fired this thing up last night, and everything seemed totally fine. Well, this morning, we warmed it up one more time and decided to go over the valve lash again, and we found broken valve springs. We got two broken valve springs. We got to replace, and we do have new valve springs, so hopefully we can get them swapped out and have no more issues. So the inner spring is the one I broke. Yep. Look at that. You got to check every time. Most people will get up and warm the car up, be ready to go for the first round. But, you know, that's why you got to check before you go run. Because most of the time when these break, more or less overnight rather than during the run. When stuff settles. Uh. You'll hear them in the pits at night, so pretty common for that to happen, and won't be pretty if you run it like this. Yeah, all right, broken valve springs are swapped out for new valve springs. Rocker arms are going back on. Tom's getting that side done. Bradley's putting the engine diaper on and the belly pan on. I think we're about to go up for Q2. And we have everything ready, I think. What do you think, Tom? You feeling good about it? Feeling really good about it. You got to do this side, right? Yeah. This side, I'm going to put that side back together. All right. I like it. We're getting close. We're getting close to going up and making Q2. We're going to make it here. We're going to hopefully do good, you know? We have to. We replaced everything. Everything's new. Yeah, that's true. You know? That's true. Nothing left. Going out with brand new, right out of the wrapper. New everything. Yep. Well, that's going to do it for today's video. I know this video isn't really long. Unfortunately, yesterday rained the entire day. We got no passes. But with the damage we've had and the week we've had, I wanted to update all of you with how it was going and how we are fixed. And hopefully, the next video you guys see is two big qualifiers, and we can go in around one tomorrow and do something. It's been a really rough week. And hopefully that turns around, because these guys have all been working extremely hard to get the car back together, not only once, but twice. Put an engine in it Wednesday night, Thursday morning, and then a transmission, a drive shaft, fabricated enclosure, all the stuff you guys just saw Thursday and Friday. So it's been a long week. There's no quit. We're here because we love what we do. We love racing. This is a passion. This is not smart, but we've got to keep our hopes up. We're going to get out there, and hopefully one run can change everybody's attitude for the week. Hopefully that's what we get. Thanks for watching.
