I can see it now ,Mom goes toy shopping brings home one of those electric cars so son when he gets older can be like dad,Dad rips out cheap Chinese electric motor and puts a 24 volt lawn mower engine in it with spark generators and wheelie bars,Roll cage and a dodge stick on coating. You are the real deal, No Bull*hit coated of how great you are or everything shiny, That's what brings me back man.
You're doing damn good for only 3 races this year , I don't know how many the circuit normally does but I'm thinking most of them have done more then 3 so far this year
Izzy would trade that spoiler for more motor anyday, even w/ iron heads! He worked w big time East Coast dirt modifieds, & loved it. Tires can be a deal breaker,,,,,, Great vid,,,,Izzy Strong,,,,,
The very best slick track engine I have ever ran is a 340 Mopar. It is so much more forgiving than about anything out there, other than the 347 Ford, which was patterned after the 340. A solid 500 hp engine would be an advantage. My favorite head for that purpose was a ported 273 head. They were incredible. They only flowed 235 cfm, but they had 205 cfm at 0.300” lift. That’s better than than my W2’s and better than a lot of other heads. Good run!
I have to laugh. I sit here watching your video on my phone and when the in car camera is going my reflex as someone who used to race is to turn my phone like it's actually going to do something😄
Keep digging, you'll get it Chris! I can't begin to tell you how much my nephew spent running his UMP A Mod over the years, but it wasn't cheap! He ended up with a pretty high dollar Mullins engine & a Pearce chassis. He's now git the last Kate Model chassis made & a Crate Motor. Next year he's going Open Late Model. Never ends!
Dude, Chris my man you had me at the edge of my seat those last few races!! Ya know what man, your just a beginner and have already had your name said quiet a bunch so the skys the limit my friend!! I have absolute faith in you and your dirt racing future!!
Loved your races and you'll have racers like that if they can;t beat ya fairly the all fair in racing and war lol Just remember next time what comes around goes around but do it sportingly 😜
Wow that's a rough track. That's crazy. More of you drivers need to complain. Your damn lucky that spring didn't come through the window at you. Glad the track got better later on for you.
Too bad the track didn't do something about the guy that cut your tire. Intentional crap like that shouldn't be allowed. Either way. I'm glad you had fun racing. Thanks for sharing.
Once NASCAR, NHRA, and open wheel seasons are over the only pro class racing going on is dirt track in Nevada and Arizona. Even Tony Stewart shows up for dirt track during the off season.
Well I can thank you for this vlog, I will not be racing at the event, someone else,,,lost spring fro some other car, lol wat too rough for my old ass, lolthanks for the intell, thanks BigAl California
the blue and white car, i think i know him from before. he used to race here in lady luck speedway in lubbock texas. had a different livery but same colors. pearl white and blue metallic. i think his name [bear in mind i was a 10 year old at the time] was michael something
Try double clamp, 175 right rear, 150 left, and a pull rod. Probably need a 800 to 850 right front and a 750 left front, tie down sgock on left front and a 90/10 left rear
Not a big fan of any type of circle racing but good old Chris makes it interesting. More into drag racing. Good video and editing by the way 👍 Curious...Where do you get your sleep on a multi day racing ? Is that nice camper beside your pit yours ? Or that event close enough to home or an hotel ? Or just like I would do and sleep in the General ?
This is cool, I've never watched much dirt car stuff. I grew up at an asphalt track so it's neat to see more about the cars. The track in that first run was fuckin horrible man, I've seen better roads in Afghanistan. I'd be pissed beyond belief too.
OK it's a hockey advice but after getting a dirty check my dad would say don't retaliate and get a penalty just remember his number and get him back later.
Anywhere you have competition , you get cheaters Been around a long time and it's always been that way. To the point of I just quit doing anything. Let the cheaters be proud of winning a one man race by themselves.
Would love to hear more about Derek, he's so quiet, but obviously a skilled man, coz he works for you.
That was exciting just riding along with you.
That guy was intentionally trying to cut your tire
Awesome video Birdsong! I don't think I've ever rooted for someone so hard in my life! Can't wait till the next one!👍
Awesome video man.
I appreciate all the work you put into your channel.
✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
That motor sounds so much better than a crate motor hitting rev limiter at the flag stand!!
Your a damn good wheel man though!

Great job racing and great video buddy. 👍
Keep doing what you doing brother that was AWESOME!!!
The Craiger wheel covers are bitchin!!!
3D printed valve covers with direct connection would be sweet on that! Ha!
Great job Chris, good show, love the wrap. You need to get dirty more often.
That car did great!! Love it
Wow that's a rough track. That's crazy. More of you drivers need to complain. Your damn lucky that spring didn't come through the window at you. Glad the track got better later on for you.
That’s nuts totally Baja 1000!!!!
It looked like you were having a ball! I really like your builds, but watching you race was fucking WICKED ! Dam sure have the right number! PEACE ✌️
I heard mud bloggers spray down their trucks with WD40 to reduce the mud clinging to their trucks, May work for mud packing also
You’re the best all around car guy on the track
Great stuff, your the man
Everyone else has thier fat cat trailers and you pull up pulling your car with a car and thats all you got.🤙
awesome,,, and that is how the Old school Nascar was? one person ,mechanic, body worker and drive?
Too bad the track didn't do something about the guy that cut your tire. Intentional crap like that shouldn't be allowed. Either way. I'm glad you had fun racing. Thanks for sharing.
baby oil works great for the mud pump sprayer

Good ting that spring was on the right and not up in the oil pan

Cray cray

Sleep in general on out of town races
You seem to be a good driver if you had sponsors and a team you might very well win
🦅🇺🇸💪😎👍🍻

At the level your runnin' used tires just aint gonna cut it,,,,Izzy,,,
Love the racing you will only get better. Yes dirty mofo .
Don’t ya hate it when your packing the LF and the cars that are keeping it on the ground drive away from you! Think about it…
Was that Chaz Bacca in front of you at the driver's meeting?
If only you had an older car trailer you could afford better tires 😂 what is that a u haul from the 50s?
60’s lol
I would have done what you did but loaded it up
What is an open motor?
Anything but a sealed gm circle track engine
Anywhere you have competition , you get cheaters
Been around a long time and it's always been that way.
To the point of I just quit doing anything.
Let the cheaters be proud of winning a one man race by themselves.
Not bad for a white boy !!!
You stole Puddens Fab Shops theme music.
I don’t know who that is but I’m sure he got it from the same creator music RUclips app I did
Good times 🎉 is it always left turns
Lol racing against the kids who’s daddy paying them to race. So dumb and sad.
