Ever find something during off-season inspection that saved your race day? Scott found a cracked manifold stud that was about to let go. What’s the most important thing you’ve caught before it became a problem?

*What does a woman who runs a Top Fuel team actually look like?* Not always camera-ready.
Focused, completely consumed by the work, and sometimes exhausted. You will never find me with eye makeup or curled hair. There are bigger priorities in need of my attention.
These photos aren't polished. My makeup is gone, my hair is a mess, and I'm tired. But they're honest.
There's a distinction between looking made up and looking credible. I'm not here to be decorative. I'm here to do the job.

Who can guess the reason for the look of annoyance on Michelle’s face here after starting up the Top Fuel Dragster? (Or as Scott refers to it with concern “scrunchy face” 🤣)

We had a great time in Dallas! From Nitro School and Red Line Synthetic Oil autograph sessions to exploring the city, it was a fun few days in Texas. Now it’s back to work! Scott’s release to the line check is tomorrow as he wraps up 767 training.

How can just 2–3 grams change the way a Top Fuel dragster puts power to the track? Scott breaks down clutch tuning at Nitro School during the Stampede of Speed in his home state of Texas.
From adjusting weights on the primary levers to deciding how aggressively the clutch applies, tiny changes can make a huge difference.

90 runs on our rear end with Red Line Synthetic Oil Heavy Shockproof Gear Oil. That’s a lot of passes between rebuilds! Scott walks through what we inspect and maintain in our rear end.

What a turnout at the Stampede of Speed Fan Fest! Growing up in Fort Worth, I never imagined I’d one day be sitting on the other side of the autograph table, signing for race fans! What an incredible full-circle moment. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us!

How does a Top Fuel clutch go from barely engaged to FULL LOCKUP in about 2 seconds? Scott breaks down the primaries, secondaries, cannon and the hydraulic trick that makes it happen. Listen for lockup.

The run lasts about four seconds. The focus lasts all weekend. From the moment Scott gets strapped in, to a prayer before the run, to the seconds before the tree drops — everything has a purpose. And when the helmet comes off, the work is far from over.
