Why do you ask the guy a question and then cut him off as soon as he tries to answer. Shut up and do a proper interview or don’t do it at all
9:50 I'm very guilt of wanting to use cad and simulation over using my eye to design
Gotta have spare parts.This place is cooler than grits.
" I could be wrong, but I don't think I am." Awesomeness.
:)
When I was in High School my auto shop teacher brought in an Offenhauser. I got to help assemble the engine, and it was unlike anything else I've ever seen. The customer took it to Indy for Qualifying, but he got bumped out of the field on the last day of qualifying. But it was cook to know I had my hands on that ending!
How to know you're truly a car guy... You love videos that show you cool and rare parts, for vehicles you don't own and know nothing about. Your wealth of knowledge on pretty much everything automotive, never ceases to amaze me!
That "neat" stuff will cost you a fortune! Restorations are a very rich man's game.
Not necessarily. Depends. Race car parts have a very small customer base. So depending on the type of race cars parts and chassis can be had for a good price. As with everything there cheap ways of doing then there are unlimited amounts you can spend. But thinking like that it’s all ways be out of your reach. If you want to do something bad enough then you find a way to do it.
This could be a week long video and i would watch every minute. Thanks for showing us this Casey. Great education.
Man this guy is obnoxious. Let people finish their sentence.
I couldn't go there, I'd be broke from buying everything
Already broke lmao
I try to Never have anything rare. Becase as soon as it's in my possesion it mysteriously becomes totally worthless !
True story.
😂👍
Ive had that happen a few times.
Why did Charlie Brown work on engines?
Because he's a blockhead
i would love to get into vintage racing, but the only thing mechanicla i've done is racing karts
Put one of the engines in the lyken
Are we not supposed to talk about Casey’s choice of fashion? W. T. F......
Rich guys dress like conservative girls.
More people need to learn all of this. Wow. Thanks, Casey.
Historic Racing,... is so big that their are tyre companies running off new stock of rubber to fill the demand.
There is some issues with Carbon tubs aging and fracturing unexpectedly, where the earlier Aluminium tubs show the aging before failure, but even that is not an insurmountable problem. Chucking a larger, lazier, but easy to maintain engine in to a chassis, keeps the cars on track without needing a whole team of engineers to preheat the block and monitor every little aspect before it will turn over, let alone run.
Imagine having a current Ferrari V8 mounted in a 70's or 80's F1 chassis, it would be glorious!
How old of a car is the carbon tub failing on? Out of total curiosity
@@001nuttz The info I heard was that a lot of early ones are, but it's a problem related to the way Carbon Fibre ages, where the delaminations inside aren't easily detectable until they fail.
@@PiDsPagePrototypes makes sense I wonder how often after crashes the tubs are re used?
Or were back then...
@@001nuttz Depends on category rules and type of damage. Some classes, tubs meant to be tossed after certain types of damage - high speed at the wall at Indy stuff,.... Or where the engine mountings are ripped out of the carbon.
Had to stop the video for a second and complain.. So this content is absolutely amazing i love this shit !! That being said plz stop talking over this guy im trying to understand and make out every detail and i cant because you blab to much! Alright carry on dude.....
Let the guy talk damn being so rude talking over
Both are guilty of not letting the other talk. Horrendous interview but killer place to see.
@@brianlynch9952 indeed is a dream warehouse if i had the money would like something like that on my home but the interview 👎
With respect guys, Alex hopped into the video unexpectedly hence why I didn't have the right mic for it. I did the best I could.....
@@CaseyPutsch Coffee drinker!
Casey if your ever in Indianapolis or driving through it you need to to stop by rayskillman classic cars dealership at 1280 US-31, Greenwood, IN 46143 grandpa use to take me as a kid. This place is literally what started my car affliction lol. Its open to the public and is basically a museum for all stuff car related
Could not agree with you more: Vintage Racing is way more exciting than modern stuff....
Any student engineer doing FSAE should explore places like this to learn how & why things are built the way they are on race cars, and how they evolved over the years.
Other disciplines offer information & parts that roadrace does not... Everything from drag, sprint, karting, landspeed, & off-road could offer ideas to help.
Agreed. Sadly few do and a high percentage become very arrogant regardless.
@@CaseyPutsch it's mostly a time thing. No time for field trips like this. Students rarely get into it more than a few pictures in books, which doesn't tell the whole story at all.
Why doesn't Genius garage make a formula car from scratch, like a vee or a Fford/Frenault?(maybe a old school 60's/70's F1/F indy inspired car)
Does this guy ever shut up and listen? After watching him talk over his guest for the nth time I had to press stop.
Hi Dave, still mad I called you out for trying to flex your private jet rides and F1 team when I was trying to get you to be part of helping education in Detroit?
@@CaseyPutsch: Damn right!
Love this I've been wanting to build my own open wheel car for some scca cone racing , I've got my little shop together and setting up my shop equipment I'm going to build from the jack stands up , tube bending body Fab build my own electrical fuel brake lines ect I'm using a Honda b18 twin cam NA lots of Honda parts just cheeper , and I've been a Honda technicians body and frame technicians for over 30 years , love your videos !!!! Gets my motivated casey !!!
I could spend all day at a place like this thanks for sharing Casey!
That Offenhauser crank case / cylinder banks engine assembly is simply a work of art, As a car nerd and an aircraft guy, that's just about the coolest thing ever!
About 5 years ago i was working in a resto shop and had a young guy helping me out . He has a type 35 Bugatti (!!) which was powered by a very early DOHC engine. So rare that only 12 were ever built .it isn't a Bugatti engine but it's a alloy and cast iron version of an offy. Even this hand built engine exhibits lots of careful machine and hand work. a true work of art.
nothing comes even close to the Cosworth
@@frostyab7579 TRUTH
Casey! Teach us about Can-Am cars! A few years back I had a chance to chat with a mechanic working on a McLaren Can-Am beast at Road America during the Hawk and I learned more in 20 minutes than I can ever find online about those cars.
Good morning Casey ... discovered your videos a few weeks ago and wanted to say thanks for both inspiring me and irritating me to get back to my channel that has been ignored for a couple years. Appreciate the work you are doing with the idea and intent of "Genius Garage" as well as introducing a younger generation to the vintage side of racing.
Once again ... Thanks
What I would do for one of those motors....... ugh such beauty.
Honestly a place i would spend all of my dosh. That is positively gorgeous
wow i really liked this video. I related and understood a lot. Man, wish you could spend a day there going over all that stuff and the cars and talking shop. Love it. Thank you!!!! That champ car with the EPSON on it. Wow, i remember Epson back in the early computer days. Build a 90's indy with an Offenhauser with substantial boost.
This is one cool place. Given a wrench and set free in there with fix it as a order could be so much fun to build race-cars and maybe race them too. Motörhead-ganism
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that Mellow Yellow Pontiac and make it street legal, lol. Just to be different...
That would be cool the sec I saw it I thought it was car from Days of Thunder cause somebody drove a black mellow yellow car
Wow, that place is awesome! Cosworth DFV's, Hewlands and Offenhausers just lying around! The stuff I'd like to build out of that... Amazing! Great video, thank you!
Casey talks like buying and restoring a vintage Indycar is cheap and easy. I don5 know much about it but I’m pretty sure a rebuild on a Cosworth will run $40-50k and unless you have worked on big time race cars for a living at some point you are not capable of putting one together. I actually did a few laps in the 1990 Rahal Reynard.
Putting together a safe race-able car, setting it up and running any Indy Car on a race track isn't something your average joe is capable of. You would have to have a very knowledgeable experienced engineer/mechanic to do it safely. I was a full time crew member on an IRL car in 1999. Just another dude that wants your money. Everybody in the racing business is out to get and spend other peoples money.
How much $ do you think is housed in this building?
What's the story with the Mello Yello Pontiac at 7:43? It looks like one of Kyle Petty's Winston Cup cars but he never drove a Mello Yello Pontiac with that style of front end or was an ASA car?...
"you can cut heads and blocks apart and weld them together"
bruh, nhra TOP FUEL blocks are the same way
This was so much better without your terrible fake English or German imitations.
Much easier to watch but, listen to your host more, talk less.
I would sleep in that shop with those engines! So rad
same :)
Yes, they need to put a cot in the corner and make it a B&B for car nuts like me. I'd pay to spend a day/night there.
Simply incredible Casey. Thanks for showing us the rare behind the scenes stuff!
WOW!! What a freakin Candy Store! Amazing collection. Great video! Forget the money, think of all the effort and passion that was put into each and every one of those cars. Each one was built to be a winner. Amazing history in that building. Casey, truthfully, I didn't understand your personality when I first started watching your videos. But now I do,, and am learning more in depth about your other ventures with much interest. Thank you for making these videos, your channel is very good. As a self employed Machinist (40 years this year) I do have the Knack, but never the funds to participate in such hobbies. I can (and DO) drool tho....
Thanks for watching and glad you stuck it out!
Do they have blueprints and a machine shop for parts that cannot be sourced? Or do they have a network of vendors that support the one off parts on these cars?
both , we try as hard as we can to find original parts but at some point you have to just have it made
Did you mention genius once or twice, I can't remember? 🙄
Pity the two guys were not given a mic what they were saying was very interesting.
Did I hear that right ? A honda goldwing powered indy car ?
love to convert one to an electric drive and make it road legal.
pretty sure you are correct about the BBS wheels. BBS was founded in 1970 and Chapperal was that style in the '60s (assuming the photos I found were correct).
We get it you're knowledgeable. Now may e next time don't ruin the video and let the person you're interviewing speak without getting cut off on literally every statement they try to make.
What don't you get about the guy hopped into the video unplanned and we only had a mic on my collar?
What Kills me is how many people in the automotive industry these days DON'T KNOW WHAT NOS means. It does NOT mean New Old Stock, it means NEW ORIGINAL STOCK.............Any parts which have been manufactured by the Origanal Manufacture of a product and placed on a shelf for use on Origanal Cars,(Dealership Stock )(Cheverolet,Dodge,Harley-Davidson,ect.). The Clowns on the History channal(American Pickers) coined the term New Old Stock.........
Either way it's old.
@@nssherlock4547 NOS can have been made YESTERDAY!!!!!!!
I agree with your opinion about Vintage racing. I’ve been watching the LeMans Classic racing on RUclips,and it’s WONDERFUL! Brings me back to the golden years of endurance racing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Makes me wish the FSAE club at my university wasn't so full of arrogant, self-important people. The club is awesome in concept but the people make it too much about themselves and not the experience.
Vintage '80s red pants
Casey you need to get into sat night roundy roundy track sprint cars fairly cheap and fun and the cars are pretty simple on the surface but tuning that mechinal mental inj. Takes a learning curve
Holy shit... Those cosworth engines are worth more than their weight in gold in the UK. This guy has them just lying around... I'm genuinely shell shocked.
Great videos...so much much better than gripping about MB! Those FORD COSWORTH engines!!!!🤤
410 Sprint motors are a really sweet way to get an 800 Hp aluminum small block. They are all across America and really powerful for a pushrod sbc.
So many solutions on those shelves.... now I will forever be thinking about eliminating head-gaskets... I have a feeling one day this video is going to cost me a lot of money....
In Europe many older race cars have a new life in the hillclimb scene .if I were rich that's what I'd use my old indy car for too.
Awesome video. I love seeing the all the old race stuff. As a radio control guy however I'm curious about the team Losi wing cover.
Thanks for a look into Aladdin's cave, where I could spend a lot of time just admiring the gorgeous and ultra rare engines.
I just realized that both the goldwing powered cars were in the movie "Driven" i believe. Could be movie cars!
No turbo buick stuff, they would qualify most of top 7 spots when they were running.
I love the Chevy V8s from the 80s. I need one in My S10! Daily driver!!!
This is the kind of awesome stuff I subscribed for, great video Casey
great place
Its sad u talk about rare parts but u dont show it in detail. U should focus on it
I am SO jealous, in a good way. I've always believed I've had great ideas throughout my life, but lack of skills, money and detailed business sense (per say) to build any of them. At 55 years old, I dream of some way to have a group to engineer and build my design ideas into reality. All of my ideas drive in essence of using otc parts (redesigned into better) all into a 1 off car.
Like a Rywire type build?
Do you just like the sound of your own voice?
Would explain why you only wired yourself with a mic and talked the entire time
Because I planned to do a walk through by myself and Alex had no idea how the mic worked, but wanted to be part of it. It was an on the fly thing....
Casey, the only person that pulls off red pants and a flat cap.
I saw some misplaced genius over there in the corner
Ahhhh....that's glorious.
Put the Lykan body on one these frames please👍
No Nismo old logo. Tommyfyeah would hate this
The Penske crew guys used to build the Gold Wing Engine refits during the off-season for their old cars.
1TeamCanada, what was the purpose of these Gold Wing Engine refits? Was it to sell the older cars with a more affordable engine from which a new owner could have fun with but without the exceptional race engine costs?
Is there any old fishing boats in there?
Casey!! WHY talk sooo much?? Can you hold back a bit NEXT time
I assumed he'd had a dozen strong coffees
at 7:35 the gold painted chevy smallblock , was that a smokey yunick engine ?
yes , flat-plain crank twin turbo , is a spare engine for this car www.canamcarsltd.com/car/1973-Eagle-Indy-Car
What’s the bad vintage race I’m interested
it's positively super cool man.
Can you plz do a full garage tour for your car
No mugen valve covers boooo haha
Like most hoarder ,this stuff will still be there in 10 years from now..Take it all to a Indy big swap meet. That stuff does no good to racing history ,sitting on shelves in a big warehouse .Most of this stuff will never make it to a race track again ,But maybe a Museum ...Sorry if i pissed some off.
You don't know that.
@@ianmangham4570 Ian i'll see you in 10 years cheers mate..
@@roguewarr4662 AMEN, hope I have 10 left 👴
Damn Casey, let the guy talk
I Really want to work there!!!!
6 speeds really break shafts
Man I want to build an usrrc car
this guy needs to shut up and let other people talk.
What was that red #2 sports car toward the end of the video?
www.canamcarsltd.com/car/1974-Rhubarb-
no flex no blow up
I can’t watch this video.
Stop asking him questions then talking over him
D R O O L I N G!!!

Please dont ever wear those pants again
Raspberry crush
WOW!
“By the way.... I’m not getting paid to do this, I’m JuSt bEiNg NiCE. Heh heh” for some reason I don’t believe you.
I was just visiting and have a RUclips channel that needs content everyday...
Great video and walkaround Brother!! Love your stuff!!
