    It’s crazy you guys have to keep explaining this. I met y’all in magnolia and went to your mom first to ask when was appropriate to ask for pictures or talk. She said as long as your not in the car, under the hood or on a laptop it’s probably cool. When I approached you guys in your pits I asked if now was a good time. Got my pictures made a little small talk and bounced. It was really nice. Made my night actually. But the kids, man every kid there was really excited to met y’all and they all thought you guys were the coolest.

    @Dave_9547 Рік тому +52

    Turbo John posted a video yesterday talking about this very issue. The truth is that racing is competitive and it is going to attract those people who have more money, because they want to win. The other issue is the bigger the money purse, the more competitive cars are going to be attracted to that race. There probably needs to be a sorting out of cars by rules, or the car count is going to dwindle as you said. Unless you just want to race, someone with a streetable car is wasting their time going to war of the woods. Those people need to concentrate their efforts at smaller purse races.

Nothing about them is budget. TJ is for sure a bear at most no preps also. I get there are guys faster, but the majority are just trying to get to your level. ( which is fast!!)

    The whole fan encounter talk is so relatable. I’ll have people come up while I’m changing tires and want to chat it up and I’ve almost forgot to tighten my wheels back down. Or I’m getting in the car and they want me to get out to take a picture. I think a lot of it stems from the fact that a lot of people don’t know what it’s like to be at the track. Or how it works. They think we’re just hanging out going to do a run whenever. When I’m reality if I’m getting in my car it’s because I need to go to the line right now. I don’t have 5 minutes to spare. It’s a struggle for sure. I wish I could spend 30 minutes a person talking to everyone. But it’s just not possible.
    I think everyone who does this has been short with someone at some point. And it sucks because you know that’s their one interaction with you. And they’re going to think you’re a bad person pretending. But the reality is there’s so much going on.

    Ryan Mitchell has mentioned he’s raced at all levels. It would be cool to have him on here and see what his take on the rules and small tire racing is since he is in the top tier right now but has came up from the bottom. Steven Little would be cool to have on as well since you have a little bit of a rivalry with him and the fact that he has only been around the last 3-5 years so he has had to either sink or swim to be as competitive as he is.

    You aren't old enough to have seen the cycle repeat itself over and over. A new cool class comes along and it's a grass roots deal, low budget and a ton of fun. BECAUSE it's grass roots and low budget, it takes off like wild fire. There are two things that attract the big money guys. Big purses, and heads up format. The INSTANT there's a big heads up event that pays well, the decline begins. The big budget teams steam roll the guys who started it, and it slowly dies from there. It happened with ORSCA in the late 90's and early 2000's. It's been happening to radial racing, and now it's happening in the no prep world. It's the nature of heads up racing. The big budget folks will ALWAYS destroy it for the budget racers. The ONLY way you'll ever slow that down is keeping purses low enough to prevent big budget guys from getting interested, and you have to go down the nightmare road of having a ridiculous number of rules. Even then, you won't stop the cycle, but you can slow it down.

      You are exactly right in what you said. Even with stringent rules, money finds a way to stretch them and find an advantage. On the other hand there are guys like Ryan Mitchell (KC Max) that has a business and a dyno. He is going to be a winner because he has some advantages and that is just life in the fast lane.

      @davidanderson6486 The src team has a complete machine shop with a dyno as well. They also have 3 cars (1 built just for this) and a good crew. They have made their living off of no prep. Street racing might be cool, but probably doesn't pay as well as some no prep. I hope they have thought about all this for future plans no matter what the class does. Their filming and editing is unreal for learning on the fly. I really hope that can take them far if the no prep slows down.

    A guy approached me and said he came from London England to see my car race.
    I was surprised that he recognized me. I told him to get in my car and I took him down the end of the track and turned around and did a big burn out. He was so happy and it made my day and his whole trip.

    Your doing what my fellow Naval Aviators do when flying. We prioritize what needs to be done, preflight to get the mission going and go thru checklists to get aircraft ready for flight (race car in your case). We don’t let external forces or well meaning folks derail this process. This could get you or a fellow competitor hurt or worse. Might be worth getting some crowd control posts to keep folks out of the pits when getting ready for racing. These can be taken down when you are able to chat with fans.

    When i met y'all at Ozark Raceway I kept stopping by your pit. But i tried not to get in the way if you were getting ready to race. When Billy and Vicki were setting up the new canopy over the Nova I jumped in to help. Then Tommy another time saw me standing there where gassing up the Falcon and asked me to hold the funnel for him.. then as it's dripping on my foot tells me the funnel leaks. Hahaha Then on the last day helped put totes under the trailer and take down the merch canopy as the rain was starting. I had a blast and was happy to help where I could. And i got to meet and talk to you all and get autographs on 3 of the 4 shirts. I did get to meet Bill, but didn't get his autograph on my old man shirt. In the end I'm just glad y'all came to race close to me and i could come oitch my tent and spend the weekend.
    Thanks~~Dave

I bought some merch and talked to your mom and Kenny for a few minutes at the tent but when you guys were around there close while you were in line to run I didn't want to bother you guys so I didn't even approach for an autograph or just to say hi because I didn't feel like it was appropriate. And I understood that. Any legit person should understand too and if somebody don't then they're not a real fan. You guys, and your dad's channels are my go to on UA-cam. Keep up the great work! It's been awesome watching your guys's program grow. Oh and Billy congrats on becoming a father. As much as you love drag racing knowing the love of a child will definitely change your life!

If a 50yr old man gets mad cause you don’t talk to him when u are doing a bar change well that’s just part of it. In this world of social media everyone wants a channel and to be “FAMOUS” but 90% of the population couldn’t handle it. Keep doin whatever makes you happy. Get a stacker go chassis car racing but take the open trailer still to events go to drag and drive stuff. I know there are many people that want to see you guys at Drag Week or Sick Week or Rocky Mountain Race Week just a thought. If you were driving those miles and working on the side of the road I think some of those haters would change their tune pretty quick. Thanks

Billy goes and races where the toughest competition is the biggest payouts and the best content for UA-cam... Luckily all three of those are in the same place. Doesn't make sense for your average Joe to travel as much as Billy you got to remember that

    This happens in all racing. The little guy gets pushed out by guys with money. Then they did index but computers came in and ruined that because it takes more money. That's why bracket racing came about and honestly it's the best because everyone can compete. Same thing with small tire/no prep was an equalizer but again money comes in and guys develop suspension and traction control and computers and it gets expensive and pushes the little guy out again. It's a repetitive cycle. That's why bracket is really the best equalizer.

    There's a reason they came up with bracket and index racing. This is it. Heads up racing is expensive and time consuming. You've got to have the budget AND the time/resources to test, test, test. Bill/Billy got in at the right time when it could be won with a basic engine on boost in an actual street based vehicle that had a bunch of time put into making it work RIGHT. A smart, hard working guy could show up and win with a fairly basic car. It's now headed the way of Pro 275. There will be fewer cars, as it will take a $200k ride and the funds/resources/smarts and TIME to constantly test, adapt and grow with it. It's going away from guys who have a job and race in their spare time. Bill/Billy have themselves positioned in a way they are doing this professionally as a full time job with significant sponsorship... and are now able to play with the big boys. Best of luck to them. The more popular a class is, the more big money guys it brings that can race full time, and the faster it evolves to the point it squeezes everyone else out. Not much you can do about it.

I did watch Shawn, Murder Novas UA-cam channel a good bit after that but have even gotten away from that now. I don’t want to watch a bunch of rich ass jerks (not all are jerks at all) who have forgotten where they came from and got lucky and now their chit don’t stink at all!!
