Speaker 1 (00:00):
I just want to tell you guys about an amazing Saturday,
an amazing Saturday that I had yesterday. It was the
first club race of Trackhouse Motorplex up in North Carolina.
And to set up the story, it's there's a whole
bunch of pride that's in me. There's a whole bunch
of just feeling great about everything that happened, and also
(00:25):
a little bit of ego in all of this weekend.
But I tell you, man, it was it was gonna
it was gonna be a crapshoot. And so I'd love
to tell you about this awesome weekend that I had
racing with my son. Right, So let's set up the story.
(00:49):
Tuesday night, I drop off the cart to my teammate
who currently has the r F two fifty Duly and
our eighteen foot trailer, and so we share that so
that we can trailer up multiple carts and parts and everything.
So drop that off on Tuesday, Because if you're going
to be racing on the weekend, you start on a Tuesday.
(01:10):
Just start prepping for it. So prep the entire cart,
ripped it apart, six hours, full clean, tear down, put
back together, get the engine package, set up and dropped
it off to my teammate on Tuesday. Friday comes along,
Friday is testing and tuning. Friday morning, I get a
text six o'clock in the morning, Bro like I'm dead.
(01:34):
He's sick. I can't. I can't make it. It's like, okay,
so I'm out of town. I'm working, so I'm not
even in town. That's why we have him take it
up on Friday with his son and my son and
they do testing and Tuesday, and then I show up
and help and do all the race day stuff on Saturday. Anyway,
(01:56):
so Friday morning, get this call sick, can't do it.
I'm like, okay, scramble time move activate my wife. I
was like, hey, go pick up the cart. When you
go pick up the cart, you're gonna bring it back home.
I'm gonna get it back into town. I'm going to
pick up the cart and the boy because we're missing
testing and tuning. So that's not happening. So boy goes
(02:18):
to school. I'm gonna pick him up at five when
I get back in town, and I'm gonna head straight
up to North Carolina four hours. So we get in
at ten thirty, ten o'clock something like that and get
right in bed. Saturday rolls around. We're talking about the
lightest track day that I have ever had, Like pictures.
(02:45):
It's just my jeep and the cart in the back
of the jeep and minimum amount of tools because by
that I didn't have time to do any planning here.
Plus I'm not hauling the dually, I'm not hauling the
eighteen footer, so it's just my jeep and the cart
and praying to Jesus that we can dial in the engine,
(03:09):
dial in the package, dial in the chassis in on
the day, and hopefully the boy, my driver, my pilot
doesn't wreck the car. Because wreck the car. Day's done. Brother,
don't got nothing right. All I can do is oil
it up and tune it and adjust it for the day.
(03:31):
So this is so I'm thinking, Okay, just pray to Jesus,
Lord Jesus, make sure that this just works out so
we get them out of practice. Seven thirty in the morning,
cold track, cold tires, put in, dial in the put
on the engine. Ran him out there. It's not good.
He's like two seconds off face. Guys, And I had
(03:53):
set this up based on memory because I'm at all
these tracks I don't remember everything. I got stuff in
notes and stuff, but you have to you have to
dial in for weather, you have to dial in for humidity,
you have to dial in the engine for for it's breathing.
And so we were way off. So practice did not
look good. And by the way, no new tires, so
(04:13):
use tires. Also used gas, by the way, so I'm
running on used gas, use tires and tuning and setup
from memory. It's not looking good. But it's great that
I have an amazing driver who's so communicative with me
and tells me everything. He's just like Appa, like this
(04:34):
this camber change, castor change. I need another tooth changed,
we need I need low end. Okay, let's do two minutes.
Let's open it up two minutes. Top ends not looking great.
Let's lean it in one minute. Okay, great. I take
the pictures. I send it to my my tuner up
in Jersey, just to validate. Hey, this is what we're doing.
(04:55):
He's like, okay, try it. We throw them out for quality.
So it's a it's a great twenty four. So there's
twenty four kids, the top seven to ten our national
kids that my son runs with. So they're all mature.
They're really really, really good, but he was off pace.
He goes out for quality. We dial it and it
gets a little bit better, but he comes in P
eleven for quality out of twenty four, so not looking great.
(05:19):
So it comes back in. I'm dialing it and I'm
figuring it out for pre final heat one. He goes
out and he goes from p. E eleven and just
just like a white helmeted pac man just starts eating
up kid after driver after driver. It was like a
(05:42):
master class. Well not only did we dilate it, I
mean these dials were I think we were three minute,
three minute lean on high and four minute rich On
low off the original setting like we were way like
we were out. It's like, holy cow, this the it
is crisp, like it is breathing. So we wanted to
open it up. And so he's just chopping through these kids.
(06:05):
It's awesome just watching him just go boom boom, smart
patient pass, you know, the racecraft. So he gets all
the way up to P five and then he hits
a back marker and I'm thinking, oh my man, he
hit him good, and I thought, oh my goodness, like
tire popped like day is done. I mean, I got
(06:28):
extra tires, I can throw that on. But if it's
axles bent or we got a tyrod vent or something
like this, then anyway hits the back marker, he drops
five places, he starts ripping back through them. It's just awesome.
So it was like this beautiful, like from P. Eleven
up to P five, back down to P ten, P nine,
(06:48):
something like this, and then starts chomping through them and
then finally at the very end, final laugh on the hairpin.
And I'll show it up right here.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Careful.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Oh my gosh, y'all let's go. Yes, two for one baby,
let go? Yeahpro yeah bro yep wow.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yo yeah yeah baby, let good, let go.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It is just this. You never see this, like he's
never done that with he's never passed two two drivers
for the price of one. And it was just his
pace into the turn, his going wide, carrying the carrying
(07:54):
the pace through the turn, accelerating right out and just
nailing it. And it was just I was so proud
of him. So finished up P seven for pre final.
So brought the cart home even I mean lots of
bumps and bruises. I'm just like, oh my gosh, like,
don't have to replace anything. Because those of you followed
(08:15):
me for a while, you've seen my stories on x Twitter,
and some race days are rough, right, some race days
were replacing the entire front end, and so just brought
it back. We're talking about the next setup and it's like, well,
it looks pretty hot. I feel like we've dialed it
to the extreme. I can't believe it's breathing the way
it's breathing. You're like crushing it. And there's a huge
(08:37):
headwind by the way. So he was telling me about
wind effects on the back straight and the front straight.
And so he goes out for a final starting P
seven and just puts on a masterclass. He's just cutting through,
cutting through, have a couple of bumps and bruises that
so that's okay, drops a couple places, and ends up
in a P five at the end of it doing
(08:59):
another convert one, convert one, send it, send it broll.
Oh man, not enough, not enough, We'll get it.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Oh let's go. Yes, support and inside my gosh, you
did it again. Get it again.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh my god, bro, walk as side, look aside, walk aside, yes, bro,
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Left yah another two for one, two different drivers, closing
out two on the final lap, coming in P five.
So for us as a private tier constructor having no support,
just me, but having even less support, no parts, like
(09:49):
a minimum ability to make significant changes, Me and my
son on the day, showing up not knowing the tune,
not knowing the setup that we need to do, and
just dialing it in very agile, very scrum, just getting
that feedback loop and just making it better after we
(10:09):
didn't even test in tune. And to come out in
a grid of twenty four, you know, qualitieing P eleven,
finishing final at P five, I could be I couldn't.
I couldn't be happier. I couldn't be more proud of
what we accomplished. And on the ego side, for those
who follow me on ex Twitter, you guys saw I
(10:30):
was kind of poking a little bit because we have
all these big box teams, right, some people on for
that race day, Right, they'll spend over five thousand dollars
on that race day. This is a club race, this
is not national race, national races. You're starting at ten
grand for the weekend, right, and so you got people
paying fifty five hundred and six thousand dollars like all in, hotel, travel, food, cart,
(10:51):
set up, engineering tuner, extra extra hands, ten fees. I
mean you add it all up to the six gram weekend.
This was my cheapest weekend in five seasons of racing,
So my ego was huge.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I mean everybody knows us around the track because racing
is a traveling circus. But for me and my driver
privateer team. And if you see the picture right, like
we we ran out three of those three spots for
that for that track, like we own the biggest chunk
(11:31):
of real estate there because we help a lot of
my teammate helps a lot of other people. And so
here's me. You got these three huge, you know spots
for big trailers and big rigs, just me and my
jeep and the boy, And uh, I think this race
cost us? I think this race cost us only like
(11:53):
fifteen hundred bucks, like all in, and you can't get
a race day than that, right on it. And don't
forget old gas, old tires.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I didn't buy.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I didn't have time to buy new new shoes. So
king killed it, man, the boy killed it, and so
I just I loved everything. I loved this weekend. It
was just such a great weekend of racing. And yeah,
we got lucky. The Goddess of speed was on our side.
(12:30):
We didn't have many major issues. And there's a lot
of rubbin, a lot of a lot of hard racing.
No no punctured tires, no busted tie rods, no no
uh vent frames nothing, So like it was great. It
was And I just finished up cleaning up the car,
(12:51):
like this has been the fastest cycle time of of
like going to race, getting it done, leaving. We packed
up in like twenty minutes, Like it took me twenty
minutes to pack He just takes two hours to pack
up that trailer before we leave. But yeah, so I
just wanted to share an amazing race story with me
(13:13):
and my son. Best time in my life, my friends,
best time in my life. So if you've lasted this
long in the video, here's the kind of the supercut
of just showing up and my son just crushing it.
Let's go. Here's my boy. You know, one of the
most humbling things in this world is being able to
build a racing machine for this boy so he can
(13:37):
go fast. Look at this, Look at all these big tent,
big box.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Big box.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
