You have done a fantastic job man! I have been following along since the beginning and super impressed! I predict enormous things for you and your life ahead! Wish you all the best.
Yeah for sure. Once he gets it dialed and finishes the body he's gonna blow up on youtube. Everyones gonna wanna get in on the story of the guy who built a 1 off custom supercar on a shoestring budget!
Enormous times and enormously high number finishes. 400th place at the least. Larger is better right?! I predict he's going to enjoy this car and life ahead. A meaningful life is a successful life.
While known as the "fastest road in the west" we only get up to about 230kph at big willow and 250kph at Auto Club Speedway due to lack of significant aero on our track 'stang . Also, i don't understand the black flag, you weren't doing anything wrong. Was there a car closely trailing you while you were stepping it out? We get loose on corners all the time without flags.
yessssss! I have been waiting for this for so long, I'm hyped for you dude. You'll get this car dialed on the track soon (or next season maybe when it warms up), I'm sure of it
There is like 5 days of rain a year at willow.....somehow you managed to get one of those days.....that is so disappointing as I would think that track is made for a car like yours.... very fast flowing and would allow you to really stretch the cars legs out..... good job keeping the car on track... Hope you come back to CA again for more track time....
you should do a track day with Rob Dahm! yall are the only two people on youtube that have insane from-scratch builds on youtube right now & I love both of the builds hella
@@philanaemic you know, I just watched that video like right after this one and it is sooo dope. they should come too & bring the single rotor car too!
Ok i'll just admit it...YOU ARE A GENIUS.. But please next time do not stay in the line of fire of a tensioned tow line. We still need that wonderful brain of yours.
Amazing! I'd call that a huge success for a first drive in difficult conditions. Nothing major went wrong with the car and you didn't crash it (just a little spin or two).
Since it was a trackday, i would say a simple inspection like: 1-good harness anchor point and harness condition itself 2-fixed seat mount/rail bracket 3-no visible oil leak on engine and drivetrain (at some trackday will require you to have a certain minimum capacity of oil catch tank installed) 4- no loose part/panel hanging around that have potential to fly away at speed... And i think thats enough to cover the basi of safety/tech inspection of any vehicle took part in trackday
Lol most people don't even know it's homemade. With all the radicals and ariel atoms out there, they think it's the same type of deal. It meets all the safety requirements so tech doesn't give any trouble.
did they tell you why they black flagged you? If you can't push the car on a track where should you do it? Especially such a track focused car... Seems dumb
to manoeuver a trailer one usually uses a "jockey wheel", which attaches near the hitch - esp. with a 4 wheeler, one needs to lift the 2 front wheels up to be able to turn...
Hoonigans burn yard!?! Dope, congrats on the track time, this is definitely one of my favorite builds on RUclips rn. Stoked to see the leguna seca footy
It's obvious you're much smarter than I am, but @ 1:55 I would have stuck that floor jack under the trailer tongue to move it. Congrats! So happy you got some laps in, even if they were wet laps.
It looks like the suspension may be too soft spring wise (i cannot comment on the hydraulics for obvious reasons), it had a lot of travel despite the fact that you were taking the car for a stroll in the park. How did you calculate their ideal stiffness? Also... you have way too many gauges. Have you considered moving to a proper dashboard? They are expensive but make both quick reads and datalogs a breeze to handle. Depending on the ECU you use it may be a matter of connecting 4 wires...
It is so good to see the car on a track finally,. Aside from the fact that rain stopped you from pushing the car did you get the feeling that your design is working as you planned? How do you think it would have been if you had a rear wing as per your drawing of the car?
1) We use MPH-Fahrenheit, here... 2) 50 degrees is not that cold. I was there. Maybe wear proper clothing? (I've done 34 deg. (then add wind chill at speed) in an enduro kart race there, a long time ago. That was a little cold.) 3) Don't park your rig in a spot that you can get blocked in. Bring a tongue jack wheel if you plan to. 4) You can actually buy a decent race car now and not waste a bunch of time trying to re-invent the wheel... but I admire your effort! 5) Slicks don't work to well in the rain. Try something with treads when its wet. Just say'in... Good luck!
I must say that I am very impressed. You know what you are doing. I like your front DWF solution. With a slotted front section, you will be able to extract more DWF, as with such a high AoA, there should be separation there. I like your cooling solutions. You went very aggressive with the front rad, which I absolutely love. Its not only good for aero but it also uses the rad as an effective crash structure. I like the positioning of the intercoolers. Tight, yet effective. The only part which makes me slightly sad is the rear diffuser. You have the space to go much more aggressive without fears of separation. As a stopgap solution to help with high speed oversteer, I would simply cut rectangular sections on the diffuser, and create a rudimentary double diffuser. It won't take too much time but it will drastically increase the pressure delta. Since you have enough power to play with, just "go crazy" at it. Use VGs to attach flow wherever needed. Slot the strakes to minimize tire squirt. You can afford the drag. You went conservative on safety (which is always imperative). The chassis seems to have good stiffness. Overall, It is a beautiful, well thought, well processed project. My sincere compliments!
You need to go to Chuckwalla out towards the Palm Springs area, weather is much, much nicer there than the high deserts of Willow Springs. Also the track surface at Chuckwalla is much better than both Willow Springs and Buttonwillow.
Yeah That Black flag sensitivity is such Bullshit I hate tracks that do that, SUCKS big time, If you drift just a little bit you get B.F., It takes all the fun out of it, I mean isn't that why we go to "RACE" tracks?
Too bad about your luck on the trip so far. Considering the issues arising, and the fact this car was built from scratch... I’d say your still doing pretty good! I must say though, for Ontario boys... you both sure sound like prairie boys (the accent that is)!
Who are you? What country do you live in? I’m blown away by what you’ve done here. I’m building a drag car now. And I have basically built an all new chassis inside the car. I want to drive it too. After watching all these videos? I’m building one of these next!
I was going to tell you that using just a few bolts for splitter or diffuser will pull those things right off!! But too late! I am also from canada. I even graduated from oakville trafalgar. Great car! I built a few cars, aso. Send me a line ageshelin at yahoo. I can share some experiences e.g. Diffuser mounting.
I think without any real knowledge that your tire pressure is too high, you need more front camber, maybe diferent caster, your wheel steering angle maybe too high (your wheel turns too much),and your springs looked too short in travel, and really stiff for that long car, wich should transfer weight a lot, even openwheels like F1 have a lot more travel in ther springs even with that big wall tires they have.
Don't beat yourself up. Yellow flags happen and most of the time it's thre front if the field because they are pushing the car. I'm curious what tire sensors are you using?😁✌
Of note, in the wet and the car being so unstable: With that aggressive front splitter (the large cutouts) and no rear wing, the aero bias is forward. (despite having the diffuser). The front tires are the fulcrum, and thus lifts the rear wheels. The wet (and low grip) conditions seemed to highlight this.
Love the vids I've been following since you started tracking the actual full bodied. Glad to see its paying off in positive ways. Cant wait too see it dialed in and with it's full areo in place. Any possibility of a full inclosed carbon body or will it always be open cockpit?
Hey, I just noticed you have air filters with metal caps in the center. You should look at what happens to them on a turbo. The glue used gets softer from heat cycles and the turbo will suck the cap off into the impeller killing the turbos.
3:56 I just noticed the trailer hitch adapter from 1 1/4 to 2" That adapter is only to be used for bike racks / rear cargo trays and even then the weight rating needs to be reduced by 50 %. Our guy is getting away with this in the short term only because the towed load is on the lower side. Try this with a regular car on the trailer and the hitch might break off due to fatigue. Also, the extended length is one reason why the rear of the car is sagging.
Tough luck on the weather, but you will get there in short time. It's such a joy to see you driving around in it after all the work. Thank you, it's an awesome ride!
Canadians come to California and find it to be too cold lolol If the biggest complaint during your shakedown trackday was the weather, then you did a damn good job.
I think with all those vibration and stuff.. u really need to replace the support cable with some sort of aluminium support rod instead... To eliminate any up-down movement of the splitter.. u will get more predictable downforce as well as less potential of stress crack on the splitter mounting points
Hmm for such a smart dude such as yourself id thought you would have attached your strap to the hitch point on the trailer which gives so much more leverage or torque to turn the trailer 😂😂
@Joseph Quīnque there are alot of good tracks here in canada, TMP(cayuga) etc i've raced at many times. TMP(short reverse track) 1.5km that many consider a great track to test out suspension calibration's and then the open long version that tests your high speed stability. I have spent countless of days and hours tuning my own rigs there, staff is friendly, its cheap and you can also rent it just for yourself for the whole day! In the video he seemed very scared to test it. Although all the tracks in Canada are closed for the season(they end at end of October maybe thats another reason he went to willow) Just my two cents.
this is so awesome and more videos to come:) It looks like you still have lots of travel in the shock and the rod end isn't coming close to binding in the clevis mount so it's all good :)
Congrats. Really looking forward to future updates. In my home race track, Wakefield park in Australia, officials are pretty relaxed. I get to drive like a maniac without getting in trouble...yet.
Kudos on getting this far man, you're always going get teething problems like this but keep pushing. And you can never control the weather. On the other hand though, wow the surface at Willow Springs looks terrible!
You should be proud of yourself, super talented to build this car from scratch and bring it all the way to Willow Springs, and we appreciate you documenting all of this journey!
Thanks for showing us how to get track data. It is always fun to watch everyone else's Hooning videos, but it is so much more interesting to learn from all these car videos. Greatly appreciate your videos.
Way to go, keeping a good attitude and pressing on in the face of frustrations and overprotective corner workers. It looks like it has enough power to keep your adrenaline pumping. Keep doing what you're doing, you'll get there!!
Black flag wtf. :D I have never seen a black flag except one time when we drifted full 3 laps in a row and we were black flagged. BTW I told you that the front wing wont be able to sustain forces when it was not bagged when you did it.
Your insurance won't cover it if your trailer gets stolen when it's disconnected from your car... Just a heads up
Dont park your trailer without the car attached someone's gonna steal it
100% this....why would you do that anyway? just take up 2 spots...
could you even insure a car like this?
@@samhaley1764 You could probably insurance anything for the right price.
Yep hooked up and gone !!
@@samhaley1764 Probably with the specialty insurance company like those who get classic cars insured.
I thought your pit crew would have had you on intermediates. Oh wait, he was probably too busy eating oranges and complaining about the cold.
Not having intermediate tires did not help either :D
Not having a pit crew didn't help either
It's just amazing to think how much work you've put into this car.
What did they flag you for? It didn't look like you did anything too terribly wrong.
See what you missed is he blinked half way around the corner and the flag was for sleeping
Bet the cool kids just wanted him off the track because they knew he was about to embarrass them all with his time.
You have done a fantastic job man! I have been following along since the beginning and super impressed! I predict enormous things for you and your life ahead! Wish you all the best.

Been waiting for this vid for so long its finally on a track
Why did you test in California? There's loads of tracks closer to you to test at.
Edit: Realized winter exists
well he aint running it again in willow springs for a few weeks since we got snowed in

Amazing! I'd call that a huge success for a first drive in difficult conditions. Nothing major went wrong with the car and you didn't crash it (just a little spin or two).
WHAT MONSTER DISLIKED THIS VIDEO?! 😠
How did the safety inspection go? Are they leary of allowing a completely homemade car on the track?
I'd like to know that as well. Lets bump this question up.
Since it was a trackday, i would say a simple inspection like:
1-good harness anchor point and harness condition itself
2-fixed seat mount/rail bracket

There is no safety inspection on a WS track day. Self tech.
did they tell you why they black flagged you?

new subscriber here... love it.... I was looking for something for our RUclips channel on our build and ran across your car... love it!!
Asphalt looks so poor quality! Good job getting some seat time, looking forward to see more!
/\ I wonder whats faster; the E55 ASL or Rob Dahm's 4 Rotor /\
When this thing is finished it needs to go to Hoonigan for a Build Biology!
Sweeeeet!!! I've never clicked so fast!
Hahahahah,
"How are ya? I'm still cold 🥶 "
How bout a 10min burpee challenge? 🏋🏽♂️
That should warm ya up a bit.
Needs a wing really badly its plowing really hard loosening the back wheels everytime you slow down
Thanks for the update mate. I would love to experience the acceleration of your E55ASL. Can't wait to see laguna seca

Stupid rain, the only time it’s rained all year
Lol
The fact the car ran flawlessly the first track day is a HUGE success!
Get it dialed in and let Randy Pobst drive it
That is absolutely amazing

Your hydroplaning because your using slicks, if you had treads on the car even road radials with a good compound you would be doing much better
Just wind the jockey wheel as high as possible then it will turn ...
Great vid
Hmm for such a smart dude such as yourself id thought you would have attached your strap to the hitch point on the trailer which gives so much more leverage or torque to turn the trailer 😂😂
i think it was the most advanced car build in this year (maybe)
.
because i haven't see any build which is installing the heat sensor for tires
lol poor man's copy of cleetus' cheap arse build. Its like a chinese copy of a chinese thing.
Did you get scumbagged ? Lol tell em ta give ya treeds to borrow p.s don't let Hert drive it 😂😉
I wanna ask you something. If it is a track car why didnt you made it single seater and middle seated?
Motorsport.👌😉 Just can't wait the next video.
i used to take that road to its end and go dirtbiking back before the BLM Nazi party attempted to make doing so illegal
how could you drive a track day without mirrors? have you any idea of whats going on behind you?
You should buy a second set of wheels with continental ecs or hankook rs4 for wet days
You'r a great driver! don't let your doubts shrink your balls!!
This video is the best by far, you let rip on a track after building the thing.
New here, this looks cool just a question...
why did you go to willow springs?
@Joseph Quīnque there are alot of good tracks here in canada, TMP(cayuga) etc i've raced at many times.

this is so awesome and more videos to come:) It looks like you still have lots of travel in the shock and the rod end isn't coming close to binding in the clevis mount so it's all good :)
Maybe park the trailer with the hitch facing out and a lock on the hitch?
Hoonigan! Fucking epic journey good luck with it
Did you need any permissions to drive this car on the track?
A man from Canada is saying that it’s cold in California...
Why you're not using the paddleshifters?
Was willow springs always this cracked up?
Black flag over nothing? Lame.
I already waited for it🖐️✌️
This project is so absolutely nutty.
What angle are you running on the diffuser?
Congrats. Really looking forward to future updates.
