      One day while my grandfather and I were discussing our racing careers and he asked me this question! "Do you know how to have a $1,000,000.00 💵 dollar's in the bank while you have a racing career?." I said NO! You start with $2,000,000.00 💵 dollar's in the bank when you start racing! ...lol...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠

    Thank you for taking the time at the track and pits to record and explain what you were doing, why, AND the reasoning involved. You could've easily spent that time with people there instead of for "us"; NOT that you would shortchange "them".
    Thank you for sharing your knowledge with confidence that you don't need to crowd it with more info than is needed, drama, or overstimulation. It's NICE to not have extra "squirrels" to ignore.
    Thank you for doing what you enjoy even if at the expense of fewer views and immediate gratification.
    I see a genuineness and integrity, in addition to heap-loads of knowledge and skill, that is seldom publicly shown but is invaluable in every aspect of society and one's life. I tried to not sound like I'm gushing on you but I don't know how else it could've been "said" without sounding ummmm, exuberant; you're valued and making a difference.

    18:11 Doesn’t someone make an auto-trans with the gear-reduction needed for racing? I totally understand the highway usefulness of 3 or 2:1 ratio range. I recall years ago a Camaro having a 3.08:1 ratio… Thought that was a tall gear ratio in those days, 1970’s possibly. The GV system sure has been in some discussions lately. (Touchy subject currently). ||| 22:15 - Drove a 1963 Galaxy, 390 C.I., manual trans., floor mounted four speed shifter. same color. The previous owner ran it at Irwindale, CA., for fun. It made a bunch of noise, but seemed sluggish. (Heavy car also). Someone set the valve lash at 30 thousandths, sounded like a threshing machine. Was not sure of the cam spec.’s, (was set like a 30/30 Ford cam of way back), I set the lash at 15 thousandths out of caution. What a difference in the engine sound, had a nice mellow idle lope. (Could not detect before).
