Can we just say if he wanted to could literally have the best dirt track Channel in the game.. his videos are not daily but when they drop 🔥
Absence makes the heart grow fonder ❤️
@AKracecars as Jim Cornette says, how can we miss you if you never go away
Wait this is the straight axle guy, right?? Man I didn't realize.
That tire resonance info was interesting. I was always told that was the tires hooking up and bogging the motor.
I agree. Hunt the front kinda rules the market,but their videos are all the same
That Kenny Wallace clip almost made me choke on my dinner 💀
Had to normalize the fact that I was making Racecar noises into my microphone by myself 🤣
You should hear his Jake brake 😂
I was there in the 56 mmsa car
Number of tires grooved: 0
Peak yaw rate: -28.1 deg/sec
Pounds of mud scraped: 0
Classified suspension learnings: priceless
Do you think the dirt LM would be different on a high banked short track like Winchester or 5 Flags?
They ran outlaw late models at Salem and Winchester in the 90's
CJ Rayburn always said he developed his dirt tech on asphalt first before running it on dirt.
when did he say that
I never skip an AK video
Great video Austin. Really like and appreciate your content. As a dirt racer and tech guy, your content is right up my alley!
Cool video! Very interesting.Thanks.🏁
Back in the mid to late 80s we ran on pavement at Jeffco Ga with DLMs twice a year... that race was a huge hit with fans. Right when the "small bodies" were mandated. Most all chassis back then were leaf spring and 5th coill or spring rod lift bars... except some of the Custom cars with the wishbone trailing arms... or the PRC cantilever cars. In 85 we had a Rayburn with mono leafs and 5th coil suspension... Mike Head drove our car... ran 3rd first race and he won the second. The suspension geometry of those chassis didn't really throw those cars around like today so being smooth on the brakes and limiting pitch on entry was pretty easy for the drivers and it was key to carrying the center and having good drive off the corner. We also didn't have crap for downforce with the short little noses and 5" tall rear spoilers but it didn't really matter because Jeffco was pretty big track with decent banking. If i recall right we were over a second faster than the pavement LMs back then as well... would have been amazing to have that show the year before when we still had wedge bodies.
Wonder how the straight axle would have done.
Subscribed! I like all the nerdiness in this video. AK Racecars. Reminds me of another AK as in Alan Kulwicki.
That's awesome love to see it.
* reads title * I don't know but you're going to see some serious shit.
In Australia, they ran a late model equivalent "grandnationals" once or twice on the calder park thunderdome.
Think a 1 mile Charlotte clone.
They got told to never come back as they were significantly faster than the nascars
I have herd the same story but haven't herd it first hand
@shaneandrew6058 There are photos of it, I think I saw them on one of the Facebook nascar or speed historic groups, happened around 1988
A full second faster than the asphalt late models? WTF?!
Power to weight ratio on display there. The dirt SLM’s weigh nothing compared to an asphalt SLM or Late Model Stock. The dirt cars also make more power than asphalt SLM’s and Late Model Stock Cars. Lighter + more power = faster.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RACE THEM AT DUQUION OR SPRINGFIELD? Damnit WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MILE TRACKS, i consider it SACRILEGE that THESE cars dont run MILE TRACKS. as far as current dirt cars being racy on 1/2 pavement…cars designed for pavement have a hard time passing as well. TELL ME WHAT HASVENDED LATE MODEL DIRT CARS ON MILE DIRT TRACKS.
U have Dracing Drifting and Circle track had a baby !!
Local 3/8 blacktop Track did this a yr with dirt sportmods and it was def a bit 🌽 corny hence it only lasting a yr..
back in the mid to late 90s i raced dirt super stocks i never thought about running asphalt now i took a asphalt stock car and ran it in parogan speedway in indiana and won my feature
Been done many times before. Lake Eries Speedway [PA] (not be confused with the dirt track ERIEZ Speedway just a few miles away) used to hold events with dirt modified’s and Dirt Latemodels at their speedway during the early / mid 2000’s. If I’m not mistaken they even ran some of these events with a mixed field of pavement cars and dirt cars. Also, if I remember correctly, they had invited a few of our local dirt track “hero’s” and multi DLM WOO winners up to the track on a few occasions in attempts at cross platform marketing.
We ran on asphalt at Ace speedway back in 1994 for a 3 race deal. We were on leaf springs then but it was exciting. KO the front clip on race #2 so we laid out of the 3rd race.
You had to turn left on abrasive asphalt no way 😂 .. Asphalt is where it’s at . It’s just cleaner more precise racing ..
Very good job of explaining it. Sure had it aired out on the dirt. And seeing Matt Kenseth stuff Joey Lagoono brings a smile to my face Everytime i see it. Matt got a million new fans that day.
In the early 2000's, my local asphalt track, Cordele Motor Speedway, they ran dirt late models on a regular basis. The series was the national late model dirt series. They put on some awesome races. Back then, I know they would drop the top bars to take alot of the drive out of them, and some ran a 4 bar set up on the floating bird cage on the left rear and would run a z-link or wats link on the right rear.
Bloomquist come too Caraway Speedway my family's home track and they barely let off and went wide open all the way around our Asphault 1/2 or 5/10s mile
Since this was an outlaw kinda deal, and it went well, maybe you should bring back your straight bar set-up. That would be certain to kick asphalt (intentional pun).
I used to watch Randy Sweet kick everyone's ass at Salem Speedway in the early 1990's in an Outlaw late model which is a wedge body late model...btw
I personally raced my dirt late on asphalt at colorado National speedway, insane traction especially at night,we were way faster than asphalt late models,keep this in mind youre power steering fluid will overheat on asphalt ask what fluid you should be using ,
We do it yearly up here in Alaska at Alaska Raceway Park... i run the Asphalt late model tires but some most other guys run our standard dirt hoosiers. we just crank up the RR spring preload and run 25# in RH tires and 20 in LH tires.
Cool stuff with the data. I was out of sprint car racing right before anyone started using it setup dirt cars.
Jennerstown ran dirt late models on pavement for a couple years. Fast fast fast. The STARS late model series raced them at Clearfield and Midvale. Very fast.
Sprintcar background here and anytime our program was getting stagnant we could always strike up a conversation with some older gentleman that were willing to opening our eyes to thing a little out of the box. They truly taught us a lot about how and why things worked
Long live freindship speedway.... ultimate motorsports park.
Dirt late models are the most obese oversize things. Here in Oz on our smaller tracks they do not fit.
Rear steer and falling over on the r/f makes them unwieldy at best. Even our Supersedans emulate this and look crap doing it.
I'm curious how you collect data and use that for set ups. Is this something a normal dirt guy can buy and use for testing?
This guy is always pushing forward and thinking out of the box...he is smart.
Between this and the straight axle video i guess i gotta subscribe now. I love weird stuff that goes against convention
Bout time!
Great video man!
Do you have a twin? I swear at 6:36 I see 2 of you.
You stated the tires held up way better than you thought they would. Would you say they could be raced again after the 50 lap race or were they toast?
@@SLMdirtfan coulda went another 50. I was taking it very easy hoping there would be a lot of tire deg, everyone else was WTFO and it took 48 laps for me to start running better laps
You crack me up but still credit where it's due
Very Cool. Thanks Austin
Could you compare brisca f1 to sprint car
Dirt for farming pavement for racing
I love the Kenny Wallace clip lmao
Like Nascar ABB EV 1300hp
Nascar rulebooks will never allow
very cool info would love to see the shock data. i suspect the data would change quiet a bit if you had more time to nail the set up
This guy is super smart
more info on the voice overs
It was good to see ya Friday. Good run Saturday bud. This is cool info
yesssss more content!
Love the vids!
Great video
Your videos are excellent!
I know 😂 dirt's for racing and asphalt is for getting there 😮
We used to race IMCA late models at cedar rapids Hawkeye down on the asphalt once a year 20 years ago
