Wow, actual stock car racing.
top quality comment made me chuckle
Omfg
Nascar
with a stock driver
No no, he’s got a pont
Boss: Do you know anything about cars?
Announcer: Uhhhh... car payments?
Boss: Damnit you’re hired.
Lmao
Fat Goofball 🥴 needs to make his payments on 69 VW Hippy Van Cuz Wife kicked him out of Trailer from watching 14yr old babe next door.
"Do you know anything about cars?"
"Ummm....cars go fast on circle road?"
"Say no more. You got the job."
LMAO 🤣
LMAO 🤣
"Watch the starter."
"He might be going too fast."
"He's got car payments."
Your hired
"Are you kiddin me?"
That shit was old 25 years ago too he needs new lines
@@RazorFlex587 he was probably old 25 years ago too lol
Cars visibly collide with each other: "They almost hit!"
The announcer was flat on the ground, we're watching from above. different perspective.
@@TEMPLE7D good point
Rubbing is racing
@New Account ur new :p
Go to start my truck in the morning and it wont start:
Announcer guy: WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWATCH THE STARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That guy is awful. He also said han-duh instead of Honda.
Almost stopped watching cuz of him
^^ What he said LOL
I've heard track announcers that had a much worse habit than that.
Its original you have to admit
😂😂😂
That announcer needs to take a long vacation.
lol
You're just saying that because you still have car payments left =P
I remember my first beer too LOL
You're goddamn right.
Have any of you been to this track? That place IS a vacation!!!
Can you imagine being there live and having to listen to this guy blasted through the PA all night?
probably why they’re are selling it
13:37 for the wreck fest
If you plan on watching the entire video I'd suggest muting it
Why isnt this the top comment the fuck.
@@rsvp1234 cause the announcer is annoying af, knows nothing about cars . “And the watch the starter” bs ain’t it
Thank you good sir
Alas i saw this comment too late
right... that woooooatch the starter shit is annoying as f
This guy is obsessed with car payments, must be broke if he is surprised people can actually own their own vehicle.
That's prolly true but lets us all know who is gonna risk it all to win
They probably aren’t paid off either lol
Probably surprised someone would bring something of value to this
FAH-Q ya knob gobbler
RS1 why would it matter ? It’s the drivers problem if they total their car. It’s a rush that they are making.
13:25 is what you came for.
Ban and arrest this idiot
I came for the great racing
nuclearthreat545 why? Lol it’s just racing
Gavin Nadeau these are probably old beamers they have laying around, lol. They wreck em, fix em, and bring em back next year.
And it gives the fans something to enjoy
Thanks
This reminds me of Gran Turismo when you have a crappy car but all the modifications 😂
So true
Mazda Demio taking out FTOs
Nissan Bluebird smoking SVT Lightnings 😁
Don't talk to me or my 170 mph Dodge Neon ever again
Suzuki Aero Sx
He thinks that payment joke is really worth it every time 😂
Ha, worth it.
Imagine if they actually had a guy who knows about cars speaking
Imagine if they actually had a guy with eyes that worked speaking
Every time he says "smokey burnout" I look again for said smokey burnout. Not sure if he knows what a burnout is.
@UCbje7fYaJO9ktsZw-dCg85Q Imagine if a handful of people could convince the entire world to shut itself down over a common cough
He doesn't know what he's doing AND his voice is hard to listen to.
@@tigercap100 He's the type that has to be the center of attention, that's why HE has to signal to the flag guy when to start instead of just letting the flag guy start.
D is for Drive.
R is for Race!
w is for wwwwwwwwwwwatch the starter!!!!!!!
C is for Car Payments
L is for Liability insurance... which also most likely sponsors this event. Lol
Stop stands for skid tires on pavement
😂🤣😂😂
This is actually more entertaining than most professional racing now a days.
Announcer + watch the starter = mind games
The supercharged Buicks are the ultimate sleepers
I have a 2000 Buick regal and is really fast for what it is
you have to get a 1980's buick. those things were beasts.
Big facts
i miss my gtp 3.2 pulley intercooler headers and a tune thing ran 12.9@110
They're like truest sleeper ever.
That dude in the Buick just straight up knows how to drive. Awesome job!
and these v6s are solid and quick
I’m just guessing it was a “GS” trim which had the supercharged 3800.
275 hp helps too lol
@@patrickmadden6340 240 hp
Driving Not Engine made the difference. Straight Quarter Caddy Blows his Doors on Takeoff especially
Announcer: yelling “ GET AWAY FROM THE FENCE!”
Me: STOP YELLING AT ME!!!
Guy in the Mountaineer musta been drinking before the race ;)
without all the sponsorships and car upgrades.... This is the epitome of nascar
This is more enjoyable to watch tho
Jason Zacarias this is better than nascar
Prize MONEY????? No mention of
@@Cjdanks448 nascar is better its longer racing and lots of wrecks with a million dollar allstar race, and they fight
SCS RACING NETWORK pfft not real fights more like bitch slaps. Overrated crashes and that’s all the new-age fans crave. Not real race fans if crashing is what you like
Lmao the cavalier launching in reverse 😂
he put it in race mode, can't blame him 😂
Letting the Cavvy gang down
Announcer's CL Ad:
Ive got the Ford! Has a very loud horn. No payments. I know what I have, Ive waaaaatched the starter.
My dad used to take his clapped out 77 Chevy Nova to our local track for spectator racing back in the 90s. It was poor man's racing at it's finest. Nice to see some tracks still able to do this kind of racing.
Buick Driver wasn't Scared of Destroying his Car. Which Gave him more Confidence.
Cadillac Driver was Low-key Afraid to receiving any Damage to his Mint Condition Caddy.
That Regal GS is also a bit of a sleeper with the supercharged 3.8L
@@gdubsw Yeah, Buick has a history of small engines that are much quicker than they appear
It's too bad that most of their cars are ugly af.. I would buy one if not for that
gdubsw I noticed it was regal but I didn’t know it was supercharged!
@@jimlthor I dunno...I quite like the look of the late '90s - early 2000s Buick sedans!
Either way though, they're great sleepers!
Caddy was AWD & Could have Won with little more aggressive driving on inside lane. Anybody know the Prize MONEY? If That stupid trophy is IT, Wouldn't put my car out there unless other drivers are Betting 🤑
The price of that Buick just went up.
It wasn't for sale
@@jacobhanekamp2534 the model dipshit
"He had two chances" had me on the floor
D bag: "WhAtS tHe ReQuIrEmEnTs fOr tHiS jOb?"
Owner: "have little-to-no knowledge of auto racing and be annoying on the mic as possible before each and every heat"
D bag: "sAy nO mOrE fAm..."
D bag: "WWWWWWWWWAAAAATCH THE SSTAAAARRTTTER!!!"
Caddy knew the Buick wasn’t scared to wreck lol
Announcer got all his lines from a Bears game in ‘97
Love the action and the announcer brings me back to when I was up north as a kid.
Agreed
This is just good clean fun
I lost it at the red Cavilier starting in reverse. Hilarious stuff here
Those supercharged 3800s aren't a joke.
Especially when You Throw the Smallest Pulley out of the Junkyard....love My Old Buicks.. Cheep Fun car
Especially when you add a cold air intake and a couple of over sized pulleys.
@@tbuddy3005 over sized pulleys? I thought the bigger the diameter of pulley the more horsepower it robs? I'm no mechanic tho
@@Cjdanks448 you would be correct, lowering the pulley size on supercharger allows it to spin faster which makes more boost which makes more power........ If you tune it correctly and if your engine/powertrain can handle it.
Those supercharged 3800 engines which was prolly in that buick made a healthy amount of power from the factory and were known to last a long time. Not only that but the best part about these engines were how cheap are were to mod!! Throw $1500-$2000 max into performance parts and you have yourself a basic grocery getting MONSTER!
"Get a load of THIS guy!"
Anybody else have this show up in their recommended 😂👍🏽
That left rear wheel hanging on better than my will to live.
Why the hell is he yelling "watch the starter" thats so confusing
thats the point i think
Because the starter is who starts the race
@@jacobhanekamp2534 Yeah but he yells it like he's starting the race, which sets off the drivers.
he wants some kind of control.
Matt Nelson edgy
RUclips: WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWATCH THIS VIDEO!!!!
I nailed the pause on the 4 sale car n the gray car at the finish. They’re lined up perfect across the finish line. Awesome!!!
I think the announcer was fun. It would be dull if he wasn’t being a little nutty.
Craig G It would be dull if I was from Corn Cobb County, or he was fun if I was from Corn Cobb County? I’m from Corn Cobb County, I just need to be told what I’m supposed to think! Please help, you seem to have the information I need!
He isn't being nutty, he's just an idiot. He knows absolutely nothing about cars. And he is the announcer for a race... between cars.
Matthew Hutzell Personally, I think he’s just playing it up, being an “every man” just showing up at the track for a fun night.
@@Spyke-lz2hl He has been their announcer for at least a few years now. If at this point he hasn't taken it upon himself to at least TRY and learn a little itty bit about the cars that race at the event he announces, then I submit that he IS an idiot.
But in general I just don't like the man, his attitude towards anything not American irritates me as well as him screaming "WATCH THE STARTER" and confusing the drivers.
Spyke0511 1 nah he’s from a worse county, he’s from Winnebago county, got nothing on rock county.
I feel like drivers wouldn't be leaving early if the guy didn't don't those false cues the whole time.
so annoying
Yep annoying goofball with big loud mouth
The false cues are what make it though, he’s trying to trip them up. Honestly the announcer makes this awesome because he’s energetic a lil nutty
Craig G I would go too, I’d participate
I actually thought that was an intentional strategy to get them to red light. Then they let home boy come around to try again. He should’ve lost that one.
The battle of the taurus and chevy was hilarious, ive been waitin all winter for these to start back up.
“Handa” and “Rackford”. Hahaha
Chad Knaus was the starter at this track for many years, grew up going to these races , love the trailer races!
It's like the longer I watch, the more annoyed I get with the announcer
😂😂😂😂
I don’t even notice him. Everyone is having a good time and cars racing. Fun!
"Ah here comes the explorer on the inside....they're both paid off"
Was there a reason to...
Nevermind
That was a Buick Regal GS it's supercharged. So amazing watching it repeatedly win that was FIRE!
@10:23 serious launch there by the Cavalier.
Guy in the Buick actually knows how to drive
lmao no he doesnt
It's a Buick Regal GS Supercharged
GM did a good job with that 3800 V6. One of the best engines they ever made. My mother had a 2004 Buick Regal GS with the super charged 3800 and it smoked just about every late model car on the road at the time, except for V8 Vettes and 'Stangs.
Those GM 3800’s ain’t no joke!! Specially the supercharged ones like this Buick. One of the best all around engines ever made in history
That Mercury driver is probably drunk as hell. Look at the way he's driving 7:39
"I've got Mason Grahm in a Pontiac Grand Prix!"
Those of us that have/had Grand Prix's felt that...
It's not even a grand prix. It's a grand am.
@@ricksanchezsflask8794 wooosh
It hurt my feelings so badly. Why are the announcers at short tracks always so clueless.
Yup
Glad I wasn't the only one who caught that..
I wait for these videos to uploaded every summer! Can't get enough
GM’s 3800 V6 was one of the most dependable engine ever built. I used rag my moms 88 Buick Park Ave with a Fisher Body back in high school back in the 90’s. Paired with the factory air ride, it ran like a freaking dream. Well I should say runs, because it still running and has”ZERO”!! Oils leaks. Sad to see it gone!!
"Rememeber he's got payments, he may go slow" hahahah
Good ole 3800 Supercharged Regal GS! Underestimated that FWD machine. ;)
never miss a gas station
Caddy was AWD But Too Careful
23:00 was the best race of them all
Guy is pissing me off, throwing his hand up as he says "starter" and not expecting people to go
Sitting here in California, watching all these people getting together and having a great time. Can almost smell the poorly made nachos that taste so good anyway at those events.
Proof that it's not the car it's the driver
To be fair, that Buick is a 3.8L Supercharged car. Makes roughly 240hp with 280ft lbs/torque. Good numbers for a early 2000's car.
@@james3429 pulley, down pipe, and tune.....150mph no problem!!
Guy in the caddy worst driver ever lmao poor guy guaranteed never ran a track ever .. 😝
The Buick is a faster car hands down.. but yeah the caddy driver not only sucked as a driver, you could tell he was way too worried about wrecking the car . . Which is stupid in an event like this
@@aztekwarrior518 right, like buying a boat but you dont want to get it wet
When the announcer knows absolutely nothing about cars or trucks.
This is the most American thing I've seen on RUclips
I love this. I miss seeing this also. My dad use to take me all the time to the races like this in Riverhead raceway and Islip raceway on LI
Why is He so concerned if they're making payments ? What a weirdo lol
Obviously a car with payments is going to be driven more carefully. So no payments = more potential action
Cause most people would take shit boxes of no value not a brand new car they are still paying off. I dont understand why half of the comments are about this. I dont get whats so hard to comprehend .
@@_AlejandroGonzalez_ Because it was Corny and cringe , im Pretty sure we Know the common sense answer to why he would ask , BUT the way he was saying it triggered many Folks. People Like you have 2D Minds
@@rollin1869 its not that hard to understand
This was all just for fun idk why people are being so negative...
Jeez, America at it's finest hey..
This hasn’t been in my recommendation in a while. Thanks again for the love RUclips
I've been here plenty of times for the trailer races. BUT THIS IS NEW 😂😂😂
Thank you for uploading this one was a doozy lots of antics out there
also the Cadillac completely threw that last race XD
love watching those slow AF car truck and van races,its awesome lol.
Those 3.8l s/c ain't no joke. Nice win
Wow, that announcer is irritating as hell !!
If it bothers you that much then dont watch the video and move on!!
Anna Maldonado how would you know
@@itsgoinggorillas685 lol ...... That's what the mute bottom for !!
@CtTrammell well too each is there own and as far as the announcer goes he's my dad and passed away in 2021 so please have some respect I find it incredibly disrespectful and frustrating go see comments like this on these videos. If it's so easy and fun to make fun of the announcers, why don't you give it a shot instead of hiding behind a keyboard.
This is stupid, the guy on the outside is clearly going to win. You gonna tell me a Lincoln LS with its 3.9 V8 is gonna out corner a Miata 😂.
It beat it in the straight aways not the corners
If it had the v8 everything would have lost same with the caddy
@ThePatUltra I found it concerning when he said it was a v6 in the video to the Lincoln ls lmao
@@topaz123212 They were offered with the option of a v6 or v8.
@@brandonhughes882 true, but i feel like the guy will always be wrong lol. it's probably the v8 😂
23:20 if you play that photo finish at slowest speed its literally AS CLOSE AS IT GETS
MC is like that guy taunting you sitting on the dunk tank at a carnival. You just want to toss a grenade into it to make the noise go away.
The caddie just didn't want ruin his car for a trophy.
Don't bring a brand new car to a spectator race lol
Lol no the caddie isn’t supercharged.. it would even win a drag against the Buick I bet.
Josh Strout nah the caddy definitely would have won, and I was rooting for the Buick. It was obvious the Caddy driver was driving much more careful.
Lol I don’t think the caddy is a 2.0t, the 2.5 are slow as shit, I have a 2.0t ats and it’s 272hp w like 289 torque, it’s not a fast ass car but it definitely pushes hard with the factory 20 pounds of boost.. no way it was a 2.0t that a 2000 Buick beat lol
Lmao! The red cavalier had it in "R-Race mode" 😂😂😂😂
Very nice to see a US-relative provide some entertainment on 13:00. Cheers from the Netherlands!
Avis: "Would you be interested in our insurance package?"
Guy in Black Ford Taurus: "Yes. Absolutely."
Announcer ruins it
Nope he makes it
@@thedude7726 makes it cringy
@@kennyfontana2445 incorrect
My mans really had 2 chances to start better and started in reverse 😂😂
watched the whole thing - great race with many twists and turns and the perfect spice to my covid season disaster ty
“Oh I know these cars paid off” lmfao this video randomly popped up so I watched and I don’t regret it
Happy to see an LS out there. ❤
Can we get a new announcer, and a new flag guy?
no
One & the Same from New Bikini Girl. Or 2 Bikini Girls. Then Fat Boy Announcer Gets Car Repossessed 😆
Nah
The Taurus has no plates, those guys are friends I bet!
THIS IS GREAT ENTERTAINMENT! wish i could have been there in person
Does anyone know what a groove is other than the guy driving the Buick?
thats the point, rookies........
This was way better than I thought it would be. It was pretty good
This was actually fun to watch... even without that dramatic collision, reverse action and upset victory.
LOVE this, thx for posting
The microphone malfunctions on these videos remind me of Wayne and Garth ordering food in the drivethrough
Nobody:
Announcer: wwwuuuuuuuuuaaaatcchhhhh the starterrrrrrrrr!
Wish I lived around this place. This is awesome.
I love watching these
1:35 in and this is 1,000,000 times better than NASCAR. WHY? THESE ARE ACTUAL CARS.
eh NASCAR is still really entertaining
To hell with nascar! What a bunch of cowards they are. Support your local track
So NASCAR is a bunch of fake cars? Would you consider formula 1 to be “actual” cars?
NASCAR and F1 are purpose built racing machines beyond anything you could imagine seeing on the road. The general public has no idea how to relate to these purpose-built machines. When you see spectator drags the general public can relate to what they are seeing and understand the differences between competitors.
@@GeorgeCostanza_ nascar is a dying sport that is afraid to stand up to the radical left and worthless BLM activist (terrorists) so the way they cowerd down was down right disgusting and that includes richard petty. No respect!
Perfect way to prove your car is reliable when selling it used but to take it racing I would buy that Buick now lol
This looks like so much fun I would absolutely love racing my WRX on this track
Love the starter,,,,,,does a fantastic job
