- Onyx Avoiding Rollovers at Thunder Hill Speedway-Tough competition but we were still able to pull off a 1st place heat race win from last place! Is it even racing without some bad luck??
Onyx is a great racer. A goofy little thing he did that just impressed the heck out of me was getting his hands off the steering wheel when wrecked in the feature. That's an amazing and nano second decision. You did great Team Johnson. Thanks for sharing Zack. Get em in the next one guys.
I'm thinking he got that from me. He's heard me talk about it. After a couple wrecks in the late model I destroyed my shoulders a couple of times and saw several others break their wrists and thumbs, etc. Now I always let go once the front end impact is inevitable.
@@betweentherows I'm guessing this from this summer? I haven't been watching lately
I was wondering if you raced late models
Keep the Onyx videos coming. Love watching him and Dad work together. Also appreciate the infield camera with live Dad commentary.
I wasn't planning to do that, but it worked out well. At most tracks I don't get to stand in the infield so it's a unique perspective
Chin up Onyx❗As a young man you are doing a great job racing. Wins are hard to earn. As a fan of you and your father I am impressed with your determination each time you get on the track. Learn from your mistakes. Learn as much as you can from your father. I see good things in your racing. Give it your all buddy❗🙂
My boys raced flat karts for years , from age 7. Nothing more frustrating than watching a crash fest , when your kids are in the race. And knowing like Onyx , they put in as much work as you have. Good job , Team Johnson
Being tough isn't just about how hard you can be hit or how strong you are, sometimes being tough is just getting back out there and doing it again and again. Onyx is tough
Toughest thing is to pick yourself.up, and dust yourself off.. respect.
Way to go onyx. I caught myself cheering you on, out loud, from my recliner! I thought I was at the track for a moment! Keep moving forward! Good job! Kids are getting so big! ❤️
I did the same thing lol. My kid's think I'm weird anyways so no big deal.
Me too 😂. I felt like I was at the track and everything.
I love these videos. I wish we could see more of them more often.
Onyx congrats on a great job. Like I said before Dad Mom what a wonderful job you are doing with your family
The manners your children display is a testament to you both.
Good job avoiding the wrecks little bud, you are doing an awesome job, you have a great teacher
Great job Onyx!!! Keep your head up bud you drove through the corner better than anyone som things are just out of your control. I can't wait to see your next race...
You guys do a great job on these race videos for both Zach and Onyx between following the race and the in car. Great Job! Zach I bet it’s even more frustrating watching Onyx struggle then even when you struggle on the track.
It really is!
First time I have seen Onyx without a hat.
Love to watch Onyx race! Won't be long he'll be racing against dad...lol
Love seeing the connection between you two at the race track. Real genuine love there. Hopefully I can get my daughter into karts when she's old enough. And we can share those amazing highs and lows you two have.
Good job Onyx!!! Way to keep after it. That's why they call it racing!!
Great ride Onyx, just remember that a good showing on your part is the way to a future win.
I hope onyx gets to stick with racing and make his way up the later. Would love to have an organic growth and cheer him on in nascar or wherever if he wants to keep with it.
He should go to the xtreme dirt tour
x, you were running hard. nothing to be upset about! keep pushing like that makes the other guys make mistakes trying to hold you at bay, or katch up. keep givin'r bubba!
Awesome watching Onyx race. Tough kid and you do a great job as a dad coaching, supporting, but also letting him figure things out on his own.
Kicking butt Onyx. Love these videos. Winners hate losing more than they like winning. Keep your head big.
@@jhoxihum3230 have you never heard the saying “I hate losing more than I like winning”??? If not, I don’t know what to tell ya. I bet onyx does and that was who this was too. Best of luck to ya though.
Gosh watching these videos makes me want to buy a kart off Facebook and find a track. Hats off to Onyx! Love the racing videos!
Really nice seeing the entire family commitment to the success of Onyx . Keep up the good work it’s bound to pay off.
Thanks for taking me to the races. 55 mph is my guess. Filming. Looked very good. Tri State Speedway. Dirt Track racing. Haubstadt Indiana. On Hwy 41. Great race. Drivers. Moms and Dads. Sisters too.
The boy is a natural.
Good run, tough racing and that is why you race, some days great, some days not so great, but you guys are doing it as a family. Great having the camera on the cart also
Good job Onyx you drove the heck out of it buddy!!! 😎👍 Those obstacles were definitely in the most desired groove to bad they were there!
WoW, that was some exciting racing to watch.
Great job Onyx (and the team)!!
Almost like cage fighting on wheels, made for great viewing so thanks for taking us along guys. Safe travels
Great driving onyx. Thanks for sharing.
He has got the heart of a champion driver in the making ..
Keep pushing you will get there 💪 💯
i love the videos with all the kids i puts a smile on my face and makes me remember the motocross racing days when my son was young i wouldnt trade those memories for anything and your doing the same with your son , keep the great content coming Zach !
Massive well done Onyx, you kept in the game, and kept striving to win, well done lad, great to see father and son, along with the family racing!!!!!
that was a hard thump at 15:14 Thank God he built in some saftey in their bodys! Great driving 22:35
Great video.
I really enjoy watching Onyx prepare the cart and race. They look like they are flying out there.
I also like the way this is a family event. The way the girls support Onyx and the concern they show for him.
Fun watching. Thx for sharing.
Good job Onyx!!! Zach, I could hear it in your voice, the frustration of what you might have done differently to make the cart go better. Team Johnson did a heck of a job and that includes the whole family. Well done!
I learned a lot watching Onyx drive in carts. Never saw those run before, also learn a lot from you and Onyx doing maintenance and setting up your car.
In races like that, you can tell the kids who practice from the kids who only sit in the car during races. Onyx, you are a very good driver and I can't wait to see what comes next. Focus on getting your consistency down while under pressure (you have a great consistency when at the start, but loose it when you get to the lead cars.) and time your moments. It is easy to over do it in the heat of the race, as you well know. I know it is hard when you have a short race, but be patient and wait for the other driver to make a mistake and provide you with the opening. That is just what it comes down to sometimes, your mistake or theirs. Keep up the good work, and get on to your parents about pushing out these videos faster!!!! Stay safe, and burn that gas!
Onyx, you’re blessed to have such a supportive family. Way to go young man. Always help dad whenever you can on the farm too. You will feel so good about it when you get older.
Onyx was actually beaming and glowing when you interviewed him after his win. THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT! The thrill of victory.
Can't wait to watch the rest of this series! Go go go
Great show - - Great video
Great work Onyx, it's a blessing to watch you in action - although it's also scary sometimes! Stay safe buddy
Good Job Onyx......You raced well and fair....others just.........I DON"T KNOW!!!!
Zach I feel how you were feeling........I am screaming GO ONYX........GOOOOO!!!!!!
Man gets your blood pumping!
Love these racing videos. Onyx your the man. Great job.
Racing is a character building sport. Well worth the effort.
Literally gripping the edge of my seat!! Better than any nascar race I’ve ever scene. F1 level of drama.
Keep at it Onyx. You’re a helluva driver bud!!!
Onyx Fan for life, right here! Great job kid! Keep bringing it!
Great Job to both of you! I know the frustration well. Your kid can sure handle that Kart. Hope to see him continue. May even have to make the Drive to watch one of these Kart races.
Onyx! Don't ever quit pushing yourself to be better, but stay humble.
Raced for 30 years, said from day 1 that racing sucks! But I always was ready for the next race and race night . Your a great Wheelman with a great teacher. I got 2 race lates, UMP mods and street stock . And with my best friend my Dad. Hopefully Onix, you get to have a great career too 👍 👏 .checked flags so often that mom hasto keep a book keeping track for you
Onyx, you drive really good, sorry you had that tough break, but you will get em this year. You have two great sister's cheering you on, and when your sister had to stop watching because of all the wrecks, i thought that was sweet, show's how much she loves her big brother. That spark plug wire deal must have been frustrating to, but thankfully you didn't get hurt, some of those wrecks looked pretty rough. G-d bless you Onyx, and the rest of the family. Hold your head up, you raced hard and are a good driver.
Big league chew, and the little one saying No Duh!!!! Takes me back!!! Love it👌👌🤣
@@jhoxihum3230 wow!!!🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Good job buddy on racing 🏁
Onyx we all have those nights as racers, Keep your head up buddy. I'M proud of you you are doing a great job.
Onyx it looks like you are doing a good job on the track. Good luck in 2023.
Keep your head up you will get them next time
Onyx is my fovorite race driver in the world MORE ONYX race videos, what a great kid
2:03 “Can I have a pinch?!”😂
Just shows the safety built into these carts with all the wrecks and roll overs and nobody hurt. Well maybe pride hurt just a wee bit but it builds character.
Great job Onyx 👍, better luck next time.
Great to see a feature film with Onyx In the title role!👍😀
I certainly hope Onyx can always remember that racing should be fun win or loose. The chance to compete and hang with kids who like to race and learn and grow and... build relationships! Tons of positives!
I like Lombardi but I disagree with his view on winning, it’s NOT the only thing! Especially for kids!
If Onyx did his best (which I’m sure he did) then there should be no regrets.(Perhaps disappointment but..)
There is a next time and all the rewards of this experience. Everyone who played fair and did their best was a winner. I’m certain if he continues to work at his racing, he will one day hold the trophy he desires!!
Thanks “dad” for all you did to both record and facilitate this chapter of the family story!
God bless you all!
Onyx, don't be so hard on yourself. You are doing great! Most grown men are too afraid to drive a racecar. As long as it's fun, do it. Stop when it's not fun anymore! I enjoy watching you race! You got this!
Onyx is a driver man! It’s so damn fun watching him reel those positions in!
Good job! Better luck next time! As long as you had fun is really all that counts!
This is some pretty good beer drinkin watchin. Good stuff
Excellent job young man! Remember this Kid!! Onyx will be King of Dirt soon enough!;
Great racing Onyx, every lap you learn a little more, next time for sure 👍
Awesome Onyx, I loved it you were great. I thought i was watching NASCAR.
that was brilliant onyx really enjoyed watching you racing
This was really fun to watch i really really enjoyed this Those carts really get moving.
Great job Onyx
That was some intense racing!
Love those videos, they give a real cool insight into a completely alien motorsports scene for me (from Europe).
Good luck this year, Onyx!
"small" suggestion for next season: make the kart more recognizable on camera for us viewers. especially at night time it's sometimes hard to see which one is Onyx 😅
Keep charging Onyx! You're a beast 💪. You gotta push it to win 🏆
Onyx did great, that was really good driving.
Onyx, “It’s not about how we fall that matters, it’s how we pick ourselves up that matters”. You have proven this point in the several times I have saw you race. Your cool demeanor behind the wheel and split second corrective actions are the traits of a great dirt racer (ie. Larson, Elliott, Stewart, Gordon) Keep grinding and it will payoff. I look forward to seeing you slide the corners of Eldora in the coming years.
Howdy ya'll,
Lookin Really good Onyx 👍 and remember, rubbing is racing, go get em Onyx !!
Stay safe, and take that checkered flag !!
Peace
Glad those kids are ok, I used to race when I was young - no roll cages back then - I can't imagine what that sort of head on would have resulted in then.
Atta boy Onyx! Keep your head held high, you got this I can see it comin.
I have had some things happen with a race winning machine, and something a simple and stupid like the ignition connection to the CDI box come loose, when we were 4 sled links ahead of the competition on a ice drag race. Frustration was tough, but we lived to see another day. Onyx did well, and little things with tough competition happen. Sorry but he will get back in it an show what he has.😊😊😊
Great job Onyx! Keep it up bud.
Good job Onxy. Keep up the good work
GReat Racer you got there. I have been to a few NAscar Races here in Phoenix. Remember Every driver has issues with their car and an off day. And others they take the race. Just keep doing what your doing and find that grove for each race and you will do wonderful. #1 thing over winning. Have fun and enjoy what you do. Winning isn't as important as enjoying what you do. IT is the icing on the cake.
Way to go Onyx! Keep up the good fight!
Damn proud of Onyx & the Johnson Family - when you show up to a national event & immediately run in the top 10 Club where 80% of the racers have the best equipment on the market & only the slightest edge makes the difference the difference & the pressure to win sometimes over rides good driving judgement by others. I say, psych them out & show up with a back up cart & see if your competitors can match your commitment.
Great Job by that young man!!
Love the racing videos
I'm a few days late, but I love these videos! I'm hyped for the upcoming racing season! I'd love to have a Johnson racing t shirt if you guys are planning on releasing any
Nice job!
That young man wants to be in the front! Way to go Onyx! Pulling for you.
Tuff luck young man hang in there 👍
Great job little Mario Andretti
You are an awesome dad, and he's a true racer.
Tell him keep his head up! Making’s of one hell of a wheel man!!!!
Great job team ya cant winem all for sure Bless yall have a safe trip back~
Onyx, watching you here in Scotland UK, and you should be well proud of yourself and you should remember two things! One, if we don't make mistakes, how do we know when we got it wrong, and second, by well known author Stephen Richards, he said “The only time you fail is when you fall down and stay down.” You have the makings of a great driver as you grow and mature and use these experiences to build your skills and knowledge. Good luck.
Great vid keep up the good work
Good job buddy keep your head up you'll gettem next time
that looks like so much fun
Good racing Master Onyx - you and dad will figure out the straight-away-thingy and you'll be in front for sure
