@@SprintCarHub it’s no wonder half of WA have W3 shirts with they way he is on and off the track. Fantastic video Toby, love the insight you never really get to see elsewhere, and also the realness of the interaction with the teams about the cameras
Thanks for showing the crowd Toby & trying to capture the atmosphere of the weekend at the Classic. No 1. Sprintcar channel in the world for how in depth you are. 👍
The way you guys cover events like the classic is awesome! I couldn't help but laugh a little bit watching Toby scurry around trying to find cars for cameras. Keep doing what you guys do for this sport, it's incredible. :)
Fantastic video AGAIN Toby, so raw and real emotion like we were there. Thank you for giving us that sanitized shit the media feeds up! Love the swearing!! its real!
Awesome work Toby, you are doing a great job. Speedways biggest flaw has always been getting the live event to translate on the TV. This channel is the best at conveying what it feels like to be at the event live that ive ever seen. The classic was a ripper, good racing, good track, good crowd, good food and booze. Im not really sure how it could get much better!
I thought this years Classic was awesome. It was shame to see a few cars torn up, and not see the battle of JMac and Haudenschild unfold, but watching Veal, Jock, Locky and Dumsney put on a masterclass moving through traffic was worth the price of admission alone. Reutzel was so fast on his preliminary night and again in the feature, he was never gonna be headed. He at the Saller Motorsports team thoroughly deserved the win. Side note your coverage of the Classic in this vid was awesome. Congratulations to you both
Thanks from up here in Montana. Appreciate the coverage and keeping some racing in front of me during the states hit or miss "winter season". 🤙🏻🤙🏻 Also, LOVE the off track footage you get. Brings me back to growing up in and around the pits of midget and sprint car racing. 👍🏻
You guys are raising the interest in the sport. I've always thought a series where a few teams are followed through a season would be pretty sweet. Like drive to survive I guess. When you look at the sport from the outside its unique . Races finishing at midnight and teams packing up in the early hours , cleaning cars in car washes etc to get to the next one. Its a different life. love your work ! Great insights and vision and editing. Looking forward to the next one ! 👍🏻🙏🏻
great coverage of the stuff we never see - at 22:15 - what did it mean when he said reutzel "was free and had a 92 on so he needs to stay up near the cushion and get it rotated"?
Thanks, mate. 92 refers to the left rear being 92 inches in circumference. As the track slickens off, the car becomes more “free” or “loose”, so less stagger would be ideal. Other cars may have had a 94 inch left rear, meaning less stagger to ensure they were better at the end of the race. Having your right side tyres in the cushion or on the dark dirt will ensure the car isn’t as loose when running on the slicker parts of the track. It’s a balance between being too tight or too loose. Either way, drivers still need to get the car to turn the corner (rotated).
Surprised to see Kraig Kinser there. Let me get this straight. Ridge & Sons hired Eliason to campaign on a National Tour in 2024, to accomodate Reutzel who wanted to be home, race locally (Weekly Knoxville Show) and not travel. Then Reutzel takes off to race in Australia? Right!
It's a bit ridiculous I think. Every car should really have a camera. How much is a GoPro in the grand scheme of things? If it can provide better footage and better content to help improve the sport, a camera should be mandatory like it is in every other motorspot. F1, MotoGp, Superbike, v8 Supercar World Rally etc not having a camera isn't an option. It doesn't have to be some super high end camera, but a GoPro should really be mandatory.
@@SprintCarHub In the meantime Formula 1 drivers have cameras in their helmets - yet, a camera on the car is a distraction. There will come a time where a series makes cameras compulsory on every car. There will be b!tching and arguing, but speedway is at least two decades behind compared to other motorsports. And, people wonder why sprintcars can't get mainstream coverage.
@@SprintCarHubI get superstition, but the American drivers tend to like having film. That's because they see how they could study the film to make it better for them next time at that track. Especially for that track surface.
Why do so many sprint car teams say "NO" to the tiny camera being hooked up? Is it a superstitious thing for them? Or are they just old fossils that can't get with the times? Please don't tell me it is because they think it will slow them down or reveal secrets. Please we are talking sprint cars here not F1. I've never seen that before. Usually in most motorsports especially extremely low profile ones like sprint racing most teams would love to have more exposure and cameras on them to give their sponsors more exposure and get the product out there. How the hell do these old fossils expect to promote the sport and make it more popular if they are saying "NO" to shit like that? Wrong attitude. To the guys that said "YES" without hesitation good on them!
Of course Callum Williamson is cruisy as and happy for it. Such a genuine bloke and legend
He’s the man!
Such a good gasser and solid dude to represent the sport.

Thank you, mate!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
Great content as always Toby
Nice job👍
Great video again mate
Your footage in the vid of the fireworks/was knoxville-esque footage and timing with the music.
Really, really good content. 👏👏👍👍

Shocked to see how many guys said no to the cameras, if anything youd think theyd want them on, just an added bonus imo..
Them cameras are bad voodoo 😂

Toby maybe those guys should have put a camera on and they would have had some better luck not worse lol
Didn't Haudenschild lose this race on the last lap last year?
Now he takes himself, and J Mac, out while leading it this year.
I can’t believe guys think a camera is the problem 🤣
Shame about the v98 car. Small family team wrecked by the N47 car on the opening lap.

SUBURB video. Thank you
Whats the deal with the people not wanting the cameras on ? Just superstition or something ?
Superstition or just an unnecessary distraction for them.
They’re there to go racing, not film videos. And I get that.
