Epic Shelby GT350 Battle @ Mid-Ohio, until this happened! I can't believe what was on track! P1

- This was my first venture to the historic Mid-Ohio track. What a track man!! I absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back even though it is a 10+ hour road trip for me. The facilities are old but gives off this awesome racing vibe you can only get at these historic tracks across the country. My personal best was a 1:39 with an optimal lap of 1:38. Not sure if that's any good or not but don't really care with it being my first time on track there. Ended up having an awesome battle with a fellow GT350 owner and good buddy of mine, Brian from West Virginia. We had so much fun out there battling back and forth until they let some guy on track with a pick up truck. Now I would get it if and only if, the truck was moded out with a lot of suspension work etc, but the truck was all stock and had no business being on track with track cars. Could be very dangerous. The driver of the pick up truck ended up blowing his engine, shocking I know. He put oil all over the track along with chunks of aluminum from blowing his motor. Needless to say, everyone was pissed! At any rate, I highly recommend a trip to Mid-Ohio. It's a great track, a lot of fun and hopefully, whoever you run with, will not allow a pick up truck on track. Hope everyone has a blessed day!! Next stop Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta...

I think you're overreacting a little bit pal, should have just followed your buddy and passed him on the straight. No one could argue against it being a safe pass and you could always say you thought he pointed twice. If you want to go racing you should work towards your comp license. After DE1 I never waited for the point by if I was hauling on someone and I knew they saw me. Never got any complaints.
Who do you run with? I wanna go run with them!
Man the guy just wanted to run his SRT10 at the track let him have fun😅 very unique trucks those SRT10
It was going a little slow, you should have told him to - Pickup the pace🤣.
Lol love it!! 😂😂😂
Meh. He had plenty of time to follow the white car past him. Not sure why he did not pass when he had the chance.
Daaaaaad jooooooke lol
I mean to be fair that isn't just any truck and yelling at the guy doesn't help. I'm sure his day was shitty enough knowing he lunched a viper motor. I noticed you waited for the point-by indicating to me that this is just a regular HPDE day. It easily could've been any stock vehicle out there that happened to lunch it's motor. Usually at those days not everybody is in a fully prepped car.
And just to be fair Robert and so you know the whole story, the guy worked for the organization as an instructor and that is not his track car but merely his daily driver that he drove to the track to instruct a student in the novice group. The truck is not set up for tracking and should not have been on track period. It's dangerous. You even noticed that he didn't give me a point by on the safest part of the track to pass but instead gave it to me in an off camber tight turn and on the wrong side to boot. I kept putting my car in his side mirror so he could see me to give me the point by and he didn't do it. There was a train of cars behind me and he only gave 1 point by on the safest part of the track to pass. He was too caught up on trying to keep his truck on track. It's so obvious that there has been zero suspension work done on that truck. I'm all about safety and that was an unsafe situation. If he wouldn't have taken his truck on track, he would have a motor today.
@@316racingchannel9 I live very close to mid-ohio and WAS surprised by that point by after madness. I wouldn't have the balls to take it, you did well. I don't like that as a passing zone for an HPDE. Are you saying they wouldn't have let that truck on the track UNLESS it was an instructor? I was thinking you were just saying either A: The truck's PACE was dangerous or B the truck's PREP was dangerous. I'm trying to say that there are always slow cars out there and it's always possible to blow a motor even on a highly prepped car. Neither of those things by themselves is more dangerous than a crappy driver in a GT3 (Pace) or a great driver in a car that just blows (Prep). IF they "bent the rules" to let the truck out there because he was in with the organizers that's a whole different thing.
I agree with you on taking that pass when I did, it was hairy I ain't gonna lie but me and the 8 cars behind me were so aggravated at the fact that he is an instructor and didn't give a point by to us on the safest part of the track, I took it anyway. Probably a poor decision on my part because, as you know, we don't have to take the pass if we feel it's unsafe, so shame on me for that. A lot of us drivers felt like the rules were bent for this gentleman. Being 100% transparent with you Robert, we don't know for a fact that the rules were bent, and we'll never know, but it's certainly what everybody thought. At the most, he should have driven that truck in the novice group. Would have been at least a little safer. Have a blessed day Robert and a great weekend sir!
Love listening to the engine sing it’s VOODOO CHILE’ Tune!
My dad used to race his CBX1000s here. A good shooting range nearby too when I shoot there I can hear the cars. Such a masculine experience it is lol.
Bakers gun range on 314? I live about 7 miles from track and shoot there often.
Wow that looks so real, it's hard to believe how real these simulators are getting.
Wasn’t that an srt-10? It wasn’t your average truck.
That white 'stang in front of you was really holding you back. Taking wide turns, too slow into the corners, and sawing at the wheel like he was losing the back end. But once you got a clear lap you made a good lap time. Too bad Billy-bob got lost runnin' that shine and found himself on the track. Probably thought the Feds were chasing him until he blew up.
OMG LOL!!!! Too funny man!! Love it!
Fast truck until the brakes fade
Very fast truck and yes sir on the brakes!
Good wheelin out there brutha!!👍🏽👍🏽
Appreciate ya Greg!! Have a great weekend buddy!!
I just came to listen to that glorious flat-plane crank engine sing (and those blipped downshifts!).
Thank you good sir! Hope you have a blessed day my friend!
Looks like you had a great trip....i'll come hang with you at Road Atlanta.
Entertaining to watch, great driving! I have an 03 cobra with lowering springs, subframes, caster camber plates, intake and exhaust, hopefully it would do better thsn that truck!
Thank you very much Paul for the kind words sir. I would absolutely love to own an 03' Cobra. That is one of my all time favorite cars. Gotta ask, what color did you go with?
It would do way better than that truck. Trust me! 👊🏻
I've been in plenty a fast pick up truck and SUV on track. 2 lightnings and a cayenne turbo. None of them were a hazard or unsafe. Heck, they annoyed Corvette owners down the straights 😆😆
Anything is fast when you put enough money into it!!!
The brakes on that truck lasted 2 laps lol
nothing wrong with bringing an srt-10 to the track, it has upgraded suspension and obviously way more power from the factory. I'm sure slower cars have been on mid ohio, plus he was following track etiquette.
That was awesome!! Ol' 24 wasn't given you that point by was he 🤪...I assume you know him and he knew it was YOU behind him? My trackday friends and I play that "cat and mouse" game when we can, its always fun :)
You nailed it! Ol 24 is one of my best friends! And you are exactly right, we were playing the cat and mouse game. Just having a blast out on track as you know! Appreciate ya Jason! Have a great weekend buddy! 👊🏻
I used to run SCCA races there in the 90's, fun track.
Indeed! I loved the layout and elevation changes. You're right, a very fun track. I had a blast!
How do think the shine gets to your local speakeasy?
the other s550 was not sharing the track very well and the truck gave a horrible point by but it was very entertaining non the less'
Awesome! Thanks Kyle. Glad you enjoyed it buddy and thanks for stopping by! Best wishes!! 👊🏻
My initial thought was the truck was a marshal putting space between the two of you. They don't know you're "buddies," and most corner workers I know would have black flagged your friend for failing to give you a point by and you for being too close. Nice driving on your part, though. I hope you're looking into getting your comp license at some point.
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for the comment. That's the plan. I'm signed up for comp school at VIR with NASA. The car is currently under the knife getting a full roll cage put in along with a bunch of other goodies. I'm just praying it will be ready in time for the comp school. 🙏🏻 It's gonna be close and there is a descent chance I'll have to bail out but we'll see. I didn't plan very well. 😔
@@316racingchannel9 you can always use somebody else's car for comp school if yours isn't done in time.
@@316racingchannel9 I'll be at VIR this June. Just signed up this afternoon. So excited, as I've not driven that track before (Summit Point is my "home" track)
You will LOVE VIR!! That's one of my favorite tracks by far. I hit it at least twice a year. Road Atlanta is my home track. I've never driven Summit Point. Fun? Have you had a chance to make it to Road Atlanta?
@@316racingchannel9 Everybody keeps telling me how much I'm going to love VIR, and I can't wait! Haven't made it to Road Atlanta, but it's on my list for next season. This season, I plan on going to VIR, Mid Ohio, and Watkins Glen. But mostly, I run at Summit, Dominion, and NJMP. Summit has 3 courses. Main is the best for our cars, but my favourite is Shenandoah...the one that is decidedly NOT for Mustangs! Shenny is definitely built for the Miatas and Porsches, and the first time I drove it, I might have cried and questioned my existence in motorsports and life in general, but now, I grab seat time on it every chance I get!
That’s the Viper truck correct? SRT10 with the V10 viper engine?
Looked like it to me. If he were to go with a new engine for it looks like it may cost him upwards of $30k. That's new of course. Could go used for much less.
Another great video.........not to hurt your buddies feelings but you drive Soooo Smoooth vs him 👍
Man thanks CJ. Appreciate ya buddy! 👊🏻
Great video. I’m heading to MO for the first time in a few days and thought I would get a feel for the track layout. I understand the frustration of a slower driver that just won’t give a point-by when they have a train behind them. Which HPDE organization were you running with?
You are gonna love it Brian. It is a super fun track. It's got a little bit of everything. It was my first time too and I can't wait to go back. Not looking forward to the 10+ hour drive to get there but can't wait to go back. Hope you have a blast and be safe! Please let me know what you think of it. I'd love to hear. Safe travels!!
@@316racingchannel9 hey buddy,looks like you was having a ball.
I run bikes on track,but watching your video makes me wanna try cars now.
Where is this track located?
Mid-Ohio race course is just north of Columbus Ohio about an hour give or take. The track is awesome buddy! Go do it if you can! Appreciate ya! 👊🏻
@@316racingchannel9 it looks like an awesome track...it almost looks like Virginia international raceway.
@@316racingchannel9
Just got back from Mid-Ohio. It poured all night and misted till noon. After lunch it was drying out and the fun began. My best was a 1:57 and 122 on the back straight. My car was giving it everything it had. Of the six tracks I’ve been to I’d put MO at second, behind Pit Race.
Take care 316
Admittedly, I would be shocked to see a pickup at the track. I am not sure back when I drove at track days that it was allowed.
I know right. I hit your old track today. Got in some laps at Road Atlanta... I'll post a video tomorrow if any of them are descent. Have a great weekend!
@@316racingchannel9 Great!
@@316racingchannel9depends on the club. I instructed a cherokee srt at Sebring years ago. Reminds me of this truck. Was decently quick and surprised me in the corners for what it was but was no where near the limit of cars. Just too big. Guy sold it for a c6 z not long after that event.
I’m shocked Mid Ohio allowed a truck.
That makes two of us buddy.
That bugga in the red truck was a pain, you could have gotten that white Muzzy and got a greater time,, Better luck next time bloke, ya did bloody real well, apart from getting help up with the white, and the red,
Thanks Teddy!
Was it just a ram truck or a Viper truck and is it like a mustang club or is it a track day that anyone can use the track
Hey Paul, no it was not just a ram truck, it was indeed the viper truck. It was not a mustang club, it was an hpde event that anybody can pay the $649.00 entry fee and do with a proper track ready car. Have you ever done an hpde event? If so, what car do you drive?
This gentleman driving the truck did not pay the $649.00 fee to get on track like everyone else. He worked for the organization putting on the event. He was there to work. He has a racecar but didn't bring it to work, he brought his truck instead. We didn't think it was fair for him to take his truck on track and screw up everybody's time that paid the $649.00 fee. He got us all black flagged and kicked off track. Which took away from our time on track that we paid for. Also, if you've done an hpde event, you will know that you can't pass anyone on track unless they give you a point by. For him to not give me and the 5 cars right behind me a point by on the straightaway, which is the safest place on track to give one, is not correct. Instead, he gave me a point by in a hard turn, which is doable but not near as safe. He should know better and play by the rules. A bunch of people have given me sh*t on here for yelling at him but I was frustrated with the whole situation cause he just had to get on track with what he brought, his truck, and it took away from everybody that actually paid money for track time. So yea, everybody in that group was pissed, not just me, cause it was not right. Not to mention, we drove over 11 hours to get there to do the event so the last thing anybody would want is for someone to screw up their time on track when it could have been prevented plus the gentleman would not have blown and lost his engine if he didn’t insist on getting on track. Engines are very expensive, as I'm sure you know. Hope that clarifies things for you. Thanks Paul.
You looked a little braver than the other Stang driver
That was frustrating, watching the white #24 GT350 miss the braking points (and be so abrupt on and off braking in the process), turning points, and generally not looking in the mirror. All of the track decals on the rear glass indicates the white 350 should have been more “track aware” and let you pass 2 laps before the truck entered the field. Watching some other recent videos, I saw that same white 350. Is it safe to assume you know the driver and maybe he/she was not getting vying the point on purpose?😅
All of that said, regarding the trucks, a paid entry is a paid entry. I have been on track with a Toyota Yaris before. The guy was giving it hell and great to watch.
Who hosted this track event? 10/10ths?
I don't know if there were any rules for when you could or couldn't pass, but I'm not sure why you didn't pass the truck when your buddy did. Looked like you had plenty of room...
Yea I could have passed him easily but I was playing by the rules. This was an HPDE event with Chin Trackdays and you can't pass unless pointed by or you'll get black flagged. He pointed my buddy by but not me. Believe me, I would have loved to pass on a high speed straight vs where he finally pointed me by. He pointed me by in an off camber turn, much more dangerous than on a straightaway. Thanks for the comment! 👊🏻
Interesting to see how little full power could be used and was an advantage compared with the many times weight would be a disadvantage. Compared with a lighter car that had more grip and adequate power.
Yea yea yea...🤯
Dudes like a troll in forza with that thing.
I keot waiting for the Dodge Neon. Then i realized it was a game and I am out.
Why didn't you overtake the truck on the back straight when the white car went passed him on the right? Did you think he was a marshal/safety car or something because I thought he was and the white car was going to get in trouble for passing him? Pretty cool video but I was wondering about that part.
Yea, no worries, this was what's called an HPDE event. You are not allowed to pass a vehicle unless given a point by, by the driver in front of you. If you noticed, he pointed by the white car but did not give me nor the 5 cars right behind me a point by on the straight. He should have and didn't. I was playing by the rules. When he finally did give me the point by, in a turn, I took it. The guy driving the truck worked for the organization putting on the event, so I wasn't about to break the rules. That's it in a nutshell, buddy. Thanks for commenting! 👊🏻
@@316racingchannel9 thank you for the explanation, I did see drivers earlier pointing you past. That makes complete sense. I love that track and your engine sounded really good, I had the sound cranked up.
@neilwhitaker6284 awesome man!! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you again for the kind words Neil. Very much appreciated sir!! 👊🏻
Hell He's just a typical Ram driver. I think being an idiot is a chapter in the owners manual.
OMG LOL!!
a pickup on the track? ..and the white mustang never realize you to fast for him. What is this circuit rule?
I know right! It was an hpde event. 👊🏻
Was that truck equipped for the track?
No sir. It was all stock and should not have been on track with the group we were running with.
@@316racingchannel9 yeah that driver could've caused some problems
Hey wait was that my pappaw in the pickm up on the track lookin to buy his lottery tix?!
Omg LMAO!!!! That's funny man!
Point by in the curves? Yall running Advanced?
I believe we were actually running the class right below Advanced. It was still point by anywhere on the track, though. That was my first time there, and I can't wait to go back. Love that track! Have you driven it?
@316racingchannel9 love the track too. It's uncommon to have point by outside of the straights it not running advanced is why I asked. Who was rhe sponsoring organization?
@GetKinetic1one Chin Track Days. They have 2 groups that run point bys anywhere on track. They are my favorite group to run with. Ever get down to Road Atlanta?
@316racingchannel9 not yet
Live here in Columbus. Road Atlanta in on my list alone with Watkins Glen
Road America and VIR
@GetKinetic1one I'm right there with ya buddy. I gotta do WG and Road America too. I've done VIR twice so far and actually go back next month in August. Can't wait for that. VIR is in my top three. It is one fast track! Love it!! I can't imagine doing WG. What a treat that would be...
Don't know looks like the white mustang was holding you up more than the truck.. run what ya brung man. Maybe he was testing his trucks handling.
I wish that was the case. He has a racecar and didn't plan on driving at the event but once he got there he couldn't help himself. He had to get on track in his stock truck. It's just dangerous for anybody to be out on track with a vehicle that you can't see out of and isn't track ready. He knew better but couldn't help himself. I'm just glad no one got hurt including him.
Honestly surprised it didn't have a Coors sign on the back with the Snowman driving it. He was "East bound and down" bro. Nice driving btw.
Omg lol!!!!! Too funny man.
Thanks buddy!
@@316racingchannel9 I figured you'd get a kick out of that one. Honestly though, what inspired him to take the truck out on the track with all of you guys on it. Looks like he spun out shortly after you passed him as there was a cloud of tire smoke on your second to last lap just off the main straight where you can see the opposing side.
Great little track battle between you and the white GT350 though I think you were running a touch faster than he was. I'll have to watch the rest of what you have on here. I have a few track runs in my 17 ZL1 on my page but nothing special like your setup. Thanks for posting bud. Always remember, slow is smooth but smooth is fast while on track.
Who knows man. What everybody doesn't realize is that, the driver of the truck worked for the organization as an instructor so he was there working. He has a racecar but just didn't bring it. He was chompin at the bit to drive so bad he talked the guys running the event into letting him take it on track, which was a big mistake. Everybody there in our group was pissed cause he got us all black flagged and kicked off track. So we lost a good bit of our session that we paid for. Just wasn't a very smart move. There's more to the story, but that's the gist buddy! Love your comments!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@316racingchannel9 Instructor or not, didn't give him the right to go out into a session filled with sports cars leagues faster than his truck. The least he could have done is waited for a session to go out that wasn't very populated by anyone, sort of giving him the track to himself. But he decided to be the Snowman and snowball the whole thing all up.
"He gunna do what they say can't be done" was ringing too strong in his ears methinks.
LMAO!!! I know right! That's too effin funny buddy. You and I are on the same page brother!! All he had to do was wait and be smart about it. If he had, he might still have his engine today. Love the comments my man!!
More detroit pony cars trying to be tough ( on the straights )
They don’t use the turn signals to allow pass coordination in that event? Seems counter intuitive to hand wave out the window on a racetrack LoL
They tried that before. Drivers kept leaving their blinkers on, forgetting to turn them off, and drivers thought they were wanting them to pass them so they did, and wrecks started happening. So yea.... either way, kinda dangerous.
That guy in the white Stang wasn't smooth. He consistently hit the brake in the wrong spots.
The truck lol
60-130 mph took you 10 seconds?! What's under the hood, two blender motors?
Nope wrong!! Only one. Don't need 2 bender motors when one puts out .0000005 hp. Geez dude everybody knows this. Common man!!
I mean, was the Toyota Celica much better? lmao
Good job out of getting out of racing the other mustang lag behind a dam truck
I know I was terrified of my buddy in the other Shelby. Thank God that truck got in my way so I could use that as an excuse to bail out of having fun with him. I hope you have a blessed day and fantastic weekend codsac
@@316racingchannel9 should have pulled a Elliot on his ass
The white stang has no idea how drive....
You guys realize this is a fucking video game, right?
He paid his money just like everyone else. We all had to learn at some point. Could have been his first time. Plus he helped you gain a little bit more experience for your future in racing. Instead of being mad at him, find him in the pits and and give him some pointers to help him get to your level. Just my opinion. We're all on the same side.
I agree and good points. There is so much more to the story though and I've told it numerous times on here. He didn't pay any money, he worked for the organization, he has racecar but didn't bring it. Brought his truck instead. No offense but I'm tired of telling the true whole story. You can look at some of my past recent responses. Thanks man and have a blessed day.
I mean u gotta respect him for trying doe but atleast lower it and try to make it work. Shi looked bone stock 😭😭😭 but awesome driving.
100% buddy. Definitely lower it and get the proper suspension work done to it. Make it track worthy and safe. Agree 100%. 👊🏻
Driver mod for sure on your battle with the other GT350! You were all over him, great lines and great driving! And a stock SRT-10 Ram?! He played stupid games and won stupid prizes, sad it ruined your awesome battle though.
Appreciate ya Brandon! Have a blessed day buddy and a great weekend!! 👊🏻
eh, you would've whooped him if you tried. he's too hard on the brakes and doesn't like trail braking.
Wasn’t anything “epic” in this “battle,” lol…just a guy who was kinda fast on the straight, but wildly inconsistent whenever a corner showed up…had multiple opportunities to pass the other Mustang, but couldn’t figure it out…and then blames the truck? Hire an instructor…
Hey Mike, I appreciate the kind words sir. I hope you have a blessed day and your life is enriched with happiness and you and your family are stay safe and healthy out there. Take care sir...
you got smoked
Lol what's your car of choice? What car do you drive on track?
Not really seeing the issue here, other than you seem unable or unwilling to pass the truck for some reason, you obviously have a much faster car, you just don’t have the skill to pass him.
That's the most uneducated comment I've heard yet. You don't have a clue what you are talking about sir. It's an hpde event. You aren't allowed to pass anyone until they give you a point by. It's the rules!! He should have given me a point by and he didn't. I was adhering to the rules. He wasn't.
@@316racingchannel9 so you’re having an ‘epic battle’ with another car that you can’t pass until they signal you to pass them, what’s ‘epic’ about that? Seems kinda pointless to me. And why would you like your own reply? That’s kinda weird as well.
@Jim Wilson Jim, you poor thing. I'm so sorry you are a mean and hateful person and i hope you can find happiness in this world. Jesus still loves you and I hope you have a blessed day. I'm praying for you to be happy instead of projecting your hate onto the world. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@Jim Wilson and yes I do like my own comments. Otherwise I wouldn't say them.
@@316racingchannel9 whats
The SRT10 guy should have got over and he’s an idiot for blocking obviously faster cars which is a no no on open track days. On the other hand, it’s wasn’t the 24hrs of Le Mans. It was an open track day and he had all the right to be on the track as anyone. Hopefully he learns some track rules, learns to drive within his vehicles limits and finds a good deal on a new V10 viper engine lol
