    My new favorite channel. A someone who is just getting into racing as a hobby, and not really knowing anyone in the scene yet. You have saved many from looking like a dummy on their first trip to the track. You have probably already helped hundreds of people get into racing that were too scared because they had no direction on how to get started and were afraid to go to their local track. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Keep it coming and I can’t wait to watch the next one. Maybe some day y’all will make it to Vegas. The drag strip here has 4 lanes. It’s pretty cool to watch 4 cars run at the same time.
