- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- My recent trip to Kokomo Speedway was packed with adventure, compliments of great track conditions and the High Limit Sprint Car Series tour, which put on one whale of a show for the packed house. I had a super-cool conversation with Kyle Larson and got an in-depth update interview from Tyler Courtney regarding his recovery. I also caught up with Monclova, Ohio's Byron Reed who after 34 consecutive years of hammer-down sprint car racing, will be retiring at the end of the 2023 season...so many super-cool stories to share. Part 2 on Kokomo High Limit Sprints is on the way. Thanks for all your support...enjoy! #KyleLarson #KokomoSpeedway #HistoryMysteryMan #TylerCourtney #ByronReed #HighLimitSprints #SprintCars #DirtTrackRacing #WorldOfOutlaws #KnoxvilleNationals #Indy500
Thanks for taking us along with you! Had a blast!
Well thanks for coming along...great to have your company...again and again! HMM
Always great to watch your experiences unfold. Thank you so much!!
You're always welcome Shelly; thanks for your support. HMM
Enjoyed every documentary that I’ve watched of yours and Byron Reed what a gentleman watched him twice a weekend in the mid nineties and sometimes at Millstream when they were still going, those were the days.
Thanks...I loved Millstream Speedway, one of my favorites! Thanks for watching, John! HMM
Great video !!
Thanks! HMM
Always a damn good job bringing the public great coverage
Thank you Jeff; I really appreciate that! HMM
It's nice to tag along with you during the racing season. The racers you speak with never seem like they are in a hurry to wind things up with you. I think it's because you know a lot about them and their careers so they aren't going to get asked "empty" questions. Since you don't know who you will be able to spend time with, you can't go to wikipedia and read up on them before the race. Being involved with and following racing for many years, you know a lot about the cars, drivers, tracks, etc. I'm sure Byron Reed appreciated that you knew enough about him to know that his dad had recently passed away. You've spent time with Kyle Larson a number of times and he is always willing to take some time with you. For a big name racer like him, it's nice to see that he can be humble and approachable. Of course, you have to carefully pick your time to try to talk with people since they're often busy getting the car prepared, discussing strategy, changes to the setup, etc. I'm sure you know when to keep your camera in your pocket.
So many thanks...high compliments. I know what I know, but I also like learning alongside the audience...as I go...part of my style. It seems like a careful balance...knowing when to approach and when to hold back. It's never easy, so thanks for recognizing the hard parts...appreciate you. HMM
Great interviews with some great driver. I remember seeing Reed run around the Ohio Valley especially at the Ole KC Raceway. Thanks again HMM. 👍
Always welcome Trent...HMM
The highlight of this video Don for me was your featuring Ohio driver Byron Reed. What a fantastic career coming to an end. I've never actually met/talked to Bryon. But seen him race many times and watched him work on his car. I need to attend an Attica Race before Bryon stops racing and wish him well.
Oh I know; I loved hanging out with Byron! I think I'm going to find out where his last race will be and follow him all night. Thanks again, my friend! HMM
Also may favorite part! Grew up always cheering for Byron with my grandpa. My grandpa always spoke highly of him.
Byron is a great, hard-working guy; thanks for watching! HMM@@cmcapelle
Awesome stuff , love your videos HMM. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you dirtdevil...I really appreciate that. HMM
Not like being there , but close . Good to see Byron Reed . Thanks Don
Thanks Wayne. I'll see if I can get you closer to being there next time! #ByronReedRocks, from the HMM
This award winning documentation of sprint car racing in my humble opinion. This could easily be on Flo or DirtVision
Thanks Jared...super high compliments. Actually, it's just me and my cell phone, which is why I appreciate your input all the more. I'd love to do some stuff on Flo and/or DirtVision! HMM
Awesome video! Will you be at Knoxville this weekend< Trying to have a feature spot on the channel! Will be my 3rd consecutive year going, nothing beats it!
Unfortunately, I will not be at Knoxville, but I sure wish I was. Be glad to have you on the show! Thanks for watching...HMM
Awesome video Don. So good to see Tyler C. feeling good. Love these shows, keeps me in touch with the world I love. Ron
You got it Ron...more on the way! Thanks for your continued support! Sure glad to see Tyler up and at 'em. HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan what you were there and I missed you? sunshine fractured a vertiebrey actually ? yikes hes right that could have ended up alot worse. when he was interviewed by the chaz on dirt guy, I wish Id of payed better attention I went by sunshines trailor and didn't even notice him.
jake day did a good job for awhile keeping up and handling that car which its obvious 7bc is made of good equiptment and crew but jake did a fair job for so young handling it. I could not belive the last 2 laps it came down to larson and peck, and peck not only broke the track record but won, over all I was pleased with the set up of kokomo, it compact set up but roomy it they say was rough but they really took to tending the track, I think as for kyle I would like to thank him for doing what the allstars and outlaws would not do for 2 years and bring national winged racing to the north half of indiana, though we also had a few regional fast on dirt winged 410's like circle city and montpilier, your lucky to get to talk to larson I cant really get 2 words from him hes all buisness when getting ready to race, the million and here, and he was kind enough to give me an autograph at the million, but I had to catch up to him when he was walking, and he never broke stride while taking 2 selfies and signing my book, all biz and his crew gate keeps. they arn't mean but they keep a sharp eye on keeping destractions away when he needs to be able to concentrate, i did get a brief view of my back side in the navy blue shirt by the trash can toward the last lap of the race on the flo broadcast, and the top of my head. sarry I missed you will you be at the 4 crowns, I think that will be my next race or if they rescedual terre haute I would like to do that but its been a buissy week. the show did not disappoint though and walking the track I cant belive how hard that clay is its like polished cement with tractor tire marks and ruts ground into it clay is solid and it has a decent progressive banking there I am guess ing 15 at the top of turn 1
@@manga12 Yeah I thought it was a great show...track prep was awesome. I'm planning to go to the 4-Crown too! Thanks again...HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan ok I will look for you but its going to be a huge crowd of course
@@manga12 I'm all over the place, but mostly in the pits.
I'm just happy the drivers now days take care of their health first, even if it's very hard not to get right back in the car.
Ty very much again bud
You're always welcome Chad; thanks for watching. HMM
Hair line fractures cause way more. My ex husband had a hair line in his ribs. The Dr said he been better off with a break less painful. Good to see him at the track again
Never thought about that regarding hairline fractures...interesting. Thanks again, Marie. HMM
See you in Knoxville or Pella at the bakery 😊
I had the best chocolate-covered donut of my life from that bakery. That whole area rocks. Thanks for watching, Scott. HMM
👍
Sorry i am a little tired to see race tracks i want more small towns.
I'll never be old enough to drink coffee . I'm 58 now a never ever drink coffee
Good for you. The older I get, all it does for me is cause insomnia and raise my blood pressure. I say stay off it if you can. Thanks for watching, Jimmy...HMM
