I like to share videos of racing that I'm involved with. Sometimes I'm behind the wheel and sometimes I feature other drivers.
2024 June Sprints B-Spec Saturday Race
I went to the false grid with slicks on. The rain came down hard after sitting on grid for a long time. Thankfully there was a red flag in the previous session which gave me time to run back to the pits and have my awesome Nascar style pit crew put on rain tires!

I screw up two 2-3 shifts on the first lap and quickly dig myself into a hole. I fight may way back from last to 6th place.

My Sunday race at the Mark Amenda Memorial Majors ends prematurely. In hindsight I should have continued. Since I did not, I didn't score points and I didn't get credit for the weekend. I can't attend an additional majors race in conference so I don't think I'll have my 3 weekends to qualify for the Runoffs. A Request for Action occurred but no official action was taken against the other driver...

I was not scheduled to race this weekend but when the seat came open the morning of the race I signed up. In qualifying I ran over some some large rumble strips knocking out the steering gear, my alignment, knocking the strut lose and both front rubs need a rebuild. None of that was fixed before the race so getting Pole and finishing P2 was a great result!

2022 SCCA Kettle Moraine B-Spec Saturday Qualifying
Also what the Mazda driver did on the front straight at the start was very suspect. He turned left into the other car for no reason. Almost like he was going to do a mini-pit maneuver on that other car. That action alone seems very odd and potentially dangerous. This was at the 2:23 mark. I've also seen video from another car trailing those two and the Mazda definitely veered left into the other car. It was not a case of the other car on the straightway veering to the right into him.
Did you have a little chat with him after?
I left the track so fast that we didn't talk at the track but we did chat on the phone later that night.
I think the way it's written is turn a wheel in any session of the weekend for credit, for participation part of runoffs qualification.
That's how I thought it was but a steward told me differently. I think the steward is wrong. I'm going to stick to my plan.
That's not cool at all. I hope the chief had a talk with him.
They did talk to him but no official action was taken against him.
This worked!
Nice recovery
Great video. Cant believe the low views. Figured this video would have 100k views
...And then this happened!!!!😂😂
You survived. Well done.
A severe lack of experience lol!
Way to get right back out there.
That was my first time causing contact with another car so I pulled in and self-reported to black flag, they said "what contact? " I should have stayed out! Lesson learned!
Did the 00 pop you or did the 00 go off avoiding you?
The 00 tried to avoid me around the outside. We made glancing contact. When getting going again he spun the tires and when they gripped on the asphalt the jolt broke the transmission. That lap I was on for possibly a high :53!
The Delta from lap 1 to lap 2 --- shows how much having to get out of the gas going up the hill to the green cost you -- and how much you gain on warm tires in the 2nd half of lap 2. Great stuff.
No doubt. These tires warm up quickly too. In my Sat Cat national qual I spent the first lap behind a slow prod car and I didn't get enough temp in the tires so the next flying lap was terrible and I went off a few times.
What type of car are you driving? What do you use to get data on the camera? Enjoy the videos, perhaps you should do a walk around of your car. I'm looking at getting into road racing and going to driver school later this year.
Hey Matt, that's a good idea. I'll get on making a video!
One thing I don’t understand is for the SCCA regional schools, is the requirement that + 3 events? Cause everything else is laid out I.e full competition schools, school + 1 event etc but for the regional schools it doesn’t specify
SCCA has a list of private driver schools that they will acknowledge for credit towards your full competition license. MSR Huston is one that is able to get you a full competition license right away. The racing schools hosted by the scca regions, for mine it was Thursday night classroom discussion and Friday 5 on track sessions. Once that was completed, that Saturday and Sunday was a regional race weekend I raced in. That counted as 1 of the 3 minimum regional races needed to aquire a full competition license.
You should fix that brake light. 🤣
Yeah... You know... I suppose.. lol
This is a great video and I've already watched several times. Planning to get my SCCA Competition License at Blackhawk Farms next year as well but not sure one thing about GCR. They say my car, 2022 C8 Corvette needs a FPR, Flat Plate Restrictor. I'm not sure if I need to install this before the Driver's School or by the end of my Novice Permit. Thank you for your work on this.
That's my home track! I'm happy to help you out if you'd like. Regarding the restrictor plate, it's best to have your car fully prepared because if you pass the school you'll want to cross over to the race weekend which will require that you are gcr compliant. For the driver school you only technically need all the safety items. Shoot me an email, happy to help. jwickert3@gmail.com
@@jwickert3 Thank you for your response. That's very helpful. I live in Illinois and Blackhawk Farms is one of the closest tracks that I go to learn my car. Yes, I'll make sure to be fully gcr compliant before the driver's school.
Well presented - thanks for taking the time to share this info!
camera is very nice. :)
That's the Osmo Action Camera 1. I like Osmo better than my Go Pro Hero 7 Silver because you can manually adjust the exposure settings as I have done in this video. Since the interior of my car is so dark the outside is overexposed and you cannot see anything even when using spot metering on a GoPro. You can't find the Osmo Action 1 any more and the 2 was weird but the 3 seems to have everything like the 1.
That's insane, did that red car manage to pull up in time and not hit you?
Yes the red car did not hit my car, thankfully!
What a save!
It was he threaded the needle!
Man, that was a fun session!
That's the Osmo Action 1 camera. It's not the latest version which I like because I can manually change the aperture settings to limit the amount of light into the camera which helps with overexposure.
Hope you're ok
Driver was just fine and believe it or not the car wasn't hurt too bad. Left fender was dented in that was popped out the bumper has some scuffs and the hood has some small dents. After we got home we checked the setup and the setup specs were exactly the same! car was back racing a few weeks later.
@@jwickert3 glad to hear!
Everyone needs a wild ride in the kink every now and then
I think I've had my fill lol!
Why lift?
Upon initial turn in the car didn't bite and turn like I expected so I lifted to try and shift some weight forward to get more grip. When that didn't work I desperately tried to drive through what was going to be a rough ride. Inexperience mostly.
Great race Congrats
The last time I saw a race at the Milwaukee Mile it was a CART race, maybe 2000.
UNREAL you missed the wall with the front end. Always a spooky turn there at RA, well done there to keep it off the wall!
I pushed the brake pedal so hard that I bent a brake pad lol!
Thanks for the video, I was there all weekend, nice races got so sun burned. I watched your video on getting started in racing, very good. I live in the same SCCA region as you, I would like some help getting started.
Send a message to me and I would be glad to help you out.
@@jwickert3 thanks for your response. I have been going to Road America for probably 30 years and I don't want to watch and more I want to get involved. I joined SCCA today and paid my regional dues. I don't live far from you so I'm close to Black Hawk farms and im checking out a track day My uncle was a corner worker there in the late 70's. Thanks for what ever you can do for me.
@@bradleywittlief2775 I'll be at Blackhawk Farms this coming weekend if you'd like to join I can put you on the list.
@@jwickert3 Unfortunately I have to work this weekend but starting July 8th I will be off weekends. I can join you after that
@@jwickert3 I wish there was a way to contact you.
You should get a Corvette for the track.
Remember to PM your race car Devil Dog!!
PM always! I'll find some LCpl to do it lol!
@@jwickert3 i'd get a cpl a lance will probably screw it up😁
Love hearing him talk. Did he apologize to the car after one of those rough rides?
Lol, yeah he did. He apologized to me since it's my car lol! He'd be fixing it regardless of driver so I don't mind. His top 3/5 variance % was low so I was impressed!
I have always wanted to do this but my life was never heading there but now that I am more established and settled down, I am now curious about getting more involved with what I love. Is there an age requirement to obtain this? If not, I would still like to be involved in this community.
Hi Robert, there is a minimum age of 14-17 with parental consent. At that age the racer should have a considerable amount of karting experience. Otherwise 18 and older. www.scca.com/pages/i-want-to-road-race
Thank you!
It’s the only way to find out where the limits of the car (or the tires) are, right? You always stay on the track, you’re too cautious.
That's right, I'm learning!
Ah! Thanks! You solved the mystery!
Tape. I used tape to tape it closer.
still a problem.. every time i need to charge it is a pain.. omg
Thanks! That got mine working.
shorties be wildin!
Ok
I dug this out of a drawer a week ago, and was just about to throw it away when I found this video - thank you!
I used a piece of electrical tape to tighten the cradle a little bit. Thank you for the idea. Now I might be able to get some more use out of it.
Thank you so much!! I had given up on my Fitbit flex when it wouldn't charge. I recently found it in a box of junk and figured I'd tinker with it. I'm so grateful, you've made my day good sir!
Glad the video helped!
Just did this! Works amazing now!! I would highly recommend this video!!
This is amazing!! I haven't used my fitbit in a year and was about to throw it away today when I figured I'd do a quick google search before I did. Saved me from buying a new one!
I'm glad the video helped you. My old one died and now I'm debating whether or not to get a new one.
thank you!!!!!!!! I couldn't find out why it wasn't charging
That's bro helped me
thanks so much!
made me worry for a bit but thats all it is... haha thank you!! 😅😅
how do you know its charged?
All of the little dot sized lights will be lit up.
Thank you soooooo much I thought my Fitbit would never be able to charge and that I would have to buy a new one
