    Theres safety “latch’s” on the front of the wreckers deck to keep it held securely down while transporting. Have to slide deck back a foot or 2 before tilting up. Passenger sides “latch” is broken thats why it tilted sideways.

      @jason9022 no, but it will be interesting to see the rats and biohazards created by MrBeast continued use of food products and painting fumes from all the "content" they make and don't clean up properly. Don't get me wrong, Beast does funny stuff but that warehouse is like a frat house and I just HOPE they CLEAN it properly before someone gets seriously sick. Plus, have you noticed Beast has "moved away" from their previous use of firearms/guns in their content??? Many of their "GUN" use videos have ridiculous basic safety issues about them which make me, and I'm sure other SAFE gun owners, cringe At least CM and his crew take basic safety precautions when they are using/abusing automotive stuff.

    The flatbed has latches the bed slides into when it's all the way forward that keeps the bed from going up and holds it down while the PTO is off and you're hauling something on it. You have to slide the bed back about a foot before lifting it.

    This is a smaller version of when my friend bought what he thought was a small abandoned building and lot that was surrounded by fence w barbwire to start a shop and store cars & bikes. Bought it from City Auction for unpaid taxes around $7000.00. When they took possession and entered the shop they found a late 80’s tow truck with ALL the gear and extra dolly’s, chains, strapping, etc ($5000/$8000). Then under a HEAVY cover in the corner was a 1970’s Cadillac coupe convertible in PERFECT condition with 2500 miles on it. Someone had put boxes of mothballs in the trunk, engine, and the floorboards to keep out the rats. Boxes were empty but the mothball smell lingered enough and it worked. We flagged down a local cop and explained what we found. He was cool and HONEST by telling us “If I run these VIN #’s now and they comeback stolen I’m required to tow them out of here. You ‘might’ want to go to DMV and just apply for ‘lost titles’ and if there aren’t ANY claims/flags on the titles they are LEGALLY yours...” He didn’t have to give us that “option” but it was VERY cool for him to tell us that “option” Because that’s what we did. Both tow truck and Caddie fired up fine and just needed good cleaning and regular maintenance. We sold the Cadillac for 45k and it paid for WHOLE PLACE plus ALL the repairs to the car lifts hydraulics, new epoxy floor, oil burning heater system, etc.
    Anyway, it’s going to be interesting to see what else these guys “find” along the way here with their new “playground”...👍👍

      Getting the likes here tells me:
      1. It's getting read
      2. Regular people, not RUclips stars, are interested in "FINDS" like a race track or abandoned garages, etc.
      Thanks and that's great. SO! I, and I'm guessing many of you out there, have "dreams like this" too.
      Here's my tip for US. Research your local surrounding city/townships tax auctions. They happen every month to 3 months. You can sometimes get PRE-INFO on cars, trucks, motorcycles, AND BUILDINGS (MAYBE A RACETRACK! LOL!). With the buildings you typically can't "LEGALLY" get in them, or on the property. But I've known people who have "accessed" (trespassed) the properties and I don't condone that😎😀😎😀😎... You can get these items for next to nothing and START YOUR DREAMS. Who knows! Vid-Document your experience and share it with us all and maybe you WILL end up getting a race track!! Or becoming the successful person you worked hard for. One other tip. Keep your research as LOW KEY as possible to not "tip off" others what YOU are after. It will keep the bids down, or even make YOURS the ONLY BID. 👍GOOD LUCK AND FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!
      Anyone know if Daytona is behind in their taxes??🤔🤔😁

Staying low key is definitely one of the most important steps in find great deals and is often overlooked.
      Cool story though, would love to be able to own something like this.

    I'm having major Cars 2 flashbacks when they arrived at the old Thomasville track and lit it up for the first time in years. I have a feeling the restoration of the track and facility will go smooth based on how happy the tractor and ramp truck were when they were started for the first time in years. It might sound stupid, but that track is happy you are there!

I have kept up with ALL the builds these guys have worked on & now that they've gone out & bought a damn race track. OMG... this is just the beginning guys. You watch!
