I enjoy how you let your hobbies influence your videos rather than being focused only on 1 thing such as Travel
It’s was a pleasure having you Mike! You were a great student and your welcome anytime!
That lap with the professional driver looked terrifying - hope you enjoyed it. What a change. from a slow, quiet ride on a miniature train
Thanks for taking us along on this journey! As a car guy, this was so epic to see. I’ve always wanted to do a track day, now I definitely will.
You don't look 36 bro! Way younger! Love watching you live life. I'm a guy who grew up poor and now have a high paying corporate job, but sometimes I feel stuck. A year will go by and I haven't gone anywhere or done anything, just working and working. I watch your videos and feel inspired to actually go and live. I love trains just like you, and I love adventure. I don't want to see the fancy vacation spots everyone posts Instagram photos of, I want to see the world in between. The random, the organic, the unpolished world out there. I think train travel really lets you do that. Glad you're living life bro, I hope to one day run into you while I'm out there doing the same!
Sweet. When I was a kid, my daddy's company provided electricity to the local racetrack. The owners would throw him tickets on occasion and he would take me. It was mostly stock car racing. Stock car racing had its roots from Prohibition and moonshine running (the transportation of unlicensed whiskey from stills in rural areas to metropolitan communities). It was racing at its finest. The cars were 1956ish Fords and Chevrolets. The rear ends were jacked up so when the trunk was was loaded the car set normally. The races were a result of Prohibition being lifted and the runners needing a use for their high powered cars - which were designed to outrun law enforcement.
Michael, the looks on your face was priceless. When I was in my early 20's, I use to drag ran with the Law Officers in my little home town. We didn't go that fast. I had a '69 Chevy Impala with a 327 V8 engine. I loved that car, I miss her. I would have enjoyed what you got to do, If I was 40 years young. The good old days. Thank you for this wonderful adventure, love you Michael.
Track days are so fun. Glad you got to do it.
Learner's permit at 15. Drove my dad's "battleships on wheels". At 18, bought my first car, a 1968 Datsun 510. I drove the crap out of that poor little car! New husband had a 1971 Mach 1 Mustang. Good Lord! I now drive an SUV. Goes like crazy (Millennium Falcon sticker on the back window). Hauls what I need to carry.
A great way to get more relaxed is to take a drifting course of some sorts, it'll teach you how it feels when you lose grip and how to deal with it
Loads of FUN!!! 🏁 I did the Richard Petty Driving Experience (7-hot laps) at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) a few years back. They held the driving class in the morning and we suited up to hit the track in the afternoon. Driving an actual retired NASCAR with the manual 4-speed trans & the window net. It's tough to explain to someone, just how much fun that was. It was LOUD, rough, hot, bumpy, yet pure elation. There was NO passenger seat. Your spotter was leading, just ahead of you in another NASCAR. FYI, "racecar" spelled backwards is still racecar...
I spent several years instructing at the BMW Schools at Mosport and other tracks. Michael, your track day brought back a lot of great memories. Track day for a lot of people would improve their driving greatly. Your experience should encourage a lot of others. Keep up the great work!
At the start there is Sam from JetLag! That’s crazy!
The fact that your first car was a Yugo is amazing
Mike, I remember 36, that was a while back. lol. I've always wanted to do one of these driving schools. This is very fun stuff. That guy you rode with could really drive. That was cool.
Super cool seeing you at the Miami GP next to Sam from Jet Lag: The Game! When are you going to be Sam's partner on a season of Jet Lag?!?!
Thanks for coming out! I had fun trying to keep up with the mustang😅
Mike!!!! Keep on doing what you’re doing man! Absolutely love you and your videos man
What a fun video I’ve been driving for a little over 40 years and a BC resident I’m used to the twisting mountain roads, that would be a lot of fun to learn to do laps like that.
I already loved this channel . I’ve been binge watching all of it for about a week or so now but you get double points for knowing how to drive a stick shift and driving a mustang 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
