Thanks for watching! See you at the track!
Get another RF shock and go back and kick there ass again! Jesse that’s the best I’ve seen you race start to finish!
Joseph is going to be a great father! The tight knit Hunt The Front family has Humor, a great Work Ethic and Faith in the Lord. What a great Family to be born into!
Correct me if I’m wrong. A track that techs shocks but doesn’t have scales?
you need to call them shock guys and have a word or two with them. good run
send them an invoice for the prize money they cost the team.
And the trophy & GOOD NAME!!
Not only should they replace the shock (s), might need to check the rest of them. I would tell them to pay the purse you lost or you are going to tell everyone what they did. Jesse looked good. Hands nice and smooth. Great run.
I'd definitely would call who ever they got the shocks from and ask WTH??... but if there is a set rule, that should have been checked and measured to be certain before it was ever installed on the car just so this crap doesn't happen...
@@gardinflame235 and he admitted that so you are saying something that’s already 100% obvious. Good job
Jesse is still a winner in our book. He drove a hard clean race. They didn’t have anything for him. Better days are coming. 🥇 🏆🏆🏆
Great job Jesse! That shock wouldn’t have made any difference. As you’ve said, and I agree this sport is way harder than it looks on camera.
Cameron has played a huge roll in all the success
huge asset he is! no doubt
He is one hell of a nice guy
He helped the work load alot
Props to Cameron for real, dirt racing runs in his blood deep too u can tell.... when your team team all loves there roll for the night successes like this are on repeat!!! And only half an inch hasn't never made a man a winner lol, jesse and Jonathan/Joseph won that cause there prepared and focused on the task at hand! Work so hard to play and they take it away, the same tech that said we don't have scales you can cheat on weight what the he'll man
He definitely has.
He looked really really good you guys got to tell him that he did damn good he calm down he was making good passes He had the car under control And was going fast and smooth he look like a veteran
Amen
Agreed, Jesse has made such an improvement this past year alone.
@@PilotRacingPerf he got out of that masters built and got into a Capital so that is part of it but he has still improved a lot
Awesome race Jesse
Sorry to hear about the shock you guys didn't know it was short you guys never cheated your to good of team for that stuff happens just move forward and never give up jesse
Hot Rod Rodney
hobby stock #25

Jesse was up on the wheel and doing what he does. If that shock traveled 6-1/2 or 7, the outcome would still be the same. Good job, Jesse!! Keep digging!!
They tell you you can run the car light because they don't have a scale but boy that half inch is where they draw the line!
I can see Joseph pacing the floors, constantly checking his phone for texts and updates. When racing is in your blood, it's truly in your blood.
Sounds like some of us HTF fans, pacing and waiting for a HTF race vlog!
Jessie definitely gotta go back to this track and lap them again.
Redemption
Definitely!!!!
Oh big time!
I sorry you were DQ, Your fans know you play by the rules when others don't, Great job Jessie you did fantastic job
Huh? It maybe an oversight, but still. Rules are rules. How and why do you get a DQ when “you play by the rules”???
@@sixwillwin the guys on tour all cheat they are just good at it. It's been talked about by a few drivers.
Damn near cried when I saw y’all got DQd man, Jesse deserved that win and that shock didn’t make the difference. Proud of you man and you’ll get em next time, keep that head held high.
Yeah that has to suck! 1/2 inch wouldn't make that much of a difference. Especially how Jessie put the gap on them.! Great job to all 3 of you. Did an awesome job considering the shock builder missed on the rules somehow. I really enjoy watching!! Tell Jessie girlfriend she did great as well. She seemed to be a natural.
Ah we all know y’all don’t cheat. Things like this just happens.
Ehhhh if you aren't cheating you aren't trying. Is this instance on purpose? Probably not. Cheating is also a very loose term. People try and bend or go around the rules in many ways.
they try to play by the rules , it was honest mistake , they even showed us this video when they could have deleted all the video and not showed us anything !
Ive been watching them for nearly 10 years this isn’t the first time they’ve been busted in tech, it doesn’t matter to me just don’t be too quick to judge
Just had my 2nd daughter last night 5th kid all together... Congrats GUYS!!!!!
With Joseph behind the wheel you always know there won't be a mistake. With Jesse behind the wheel it's an entirely different feeling. Almost waiting for the mistake. Until now. You crossed over a threshold. You've changed categories. You can see your confidence has grown enough to get you there. Joseph's absence might have been a blessing. You had to do it without anybody really holding your hand.. and you did. Far as I'm concerned it's a win.
Need a life size cardboard cutout of Joseph, that is video and voice enabled. So he can be there without actually having to be there. In order to keep you boys in line...😁😂
Wow, I mean rules are rules - but jeez 1/2 inch giving an unfair advantage come on now. Great race though, even with the shock, all them guys racing with you knew who the winner was.
What kind of operation are they running anyway.... No scales which can FOR SURE skew a race, but they check shocks mmmhmmm.
fr what kinda track doesnt have scales
First off I don't believe anyone from the #HTFNation would believe that you knowingly cheated. Just a shame that you didn't check the shocks when you got them, but hey, it's understandable. Secondly, did everyone notice how cool, calm, and collected Jesse was for this race? That last race win gave him the confidence in himself that the rest of us already had. Man, he just checked out on the rest of the field. Keep it up and they are gonna put a bounty on you!! :) Great video as usual and a shout out to Bethany (mad_sass_) for a great job behind the camera for the feature. I'm sure Joseph is proud of all of you for an outstanding effort. Get that shock changed and go get 'em on Sunday at Southern!!
100%
Why would anyone order a shock package and then check it ?
Sounds like a fired shock guy to me . Shouldn’t have to double check everything , unless it’s fast food
Funny that the track doesn't worry about weight but worries about 1/2 " of shock . Keep ur head up Jesse let that put a fire in ya. Go get them htf
Reminds me when clint bowyer was DQ'd at New Hampshire several years ago for a tolerance that was out of bounds by the width of a playing card. Had nothing to do with the win just like in Jesse's case. Boy that stings though. Hold your head high jesse you drove an awesome race!!!
I went to school with Clint and his younger brother Casey. He was a heck of a dirt car driver, locally.
@@rothe31 I first met him at thunderhill speedway north of topeka ks. I think he was 19 when he became my favorite driver
@@mikepriceup I live in Topeka near Thunderhill. A friend of mine told me that the track lease wasn’t renewed and the track has been flattened. Do you know if this is true?
Congrats to the HTF1 team! Your a class act. Mite be having a word with the shock builder.
They wasn't worried about weight but they was worried about 1/2 inch of shock go figure jonathan keep your head up good job jessie it will definitely be a confidence builder congratulations joseph and Kayla
Congratulations on the New addition Baby girl Joseph and Kayla! I’m so glad she is doing great!
Jessie don’t get to full of yourself. You’re driving probably the best equipment thats going to show up in that class at the tracks you’re running at. You don’t know how lucky you are to be in that car and have friends like the joiners to put you there. I just don’t want you to turn off a lot off fans with some of your comments. The remarks about the lappers was kind of tough, everyone has to start somewhere and everyone is not as lucky as you. I hated to say all that but I’ve been on both sides of that situation. Take care guys and stay safe.
Thanks for the comment John, I wanted to let you know I DO in fact know how lucky I am to have the opportunity to do what I’m doing in the equipment I’m in. And also know I’ve been the lapped car before in not such good equipment. I too have been on both sides of the situation. Thank you for watching!
Jessie has a lot to do with the success of this channel and in return gets to use the equipment they’ve earned. It’s not being full of yourself to want slow lap cars to move out of the way of the lead car. Wasn’t long ago Jessie was a lap car himself and gladly moved for the leaders! Way to be mr. Negative!
@@JesseEnterkin Hell of a drive Jesse. You're one of the main reasons I watch this channel. You have a great outlook on life. Never lose that and you'll go as far as you want to.
Just next time we need to double check everything obviously you weren’t trying to cheat ,go get them next time
As a former racer, technical inspector I know that one half inch does not make a difference. Unfortunately rules are rules and you have to abide by them. Jesse, you drove a hell of a race and you deserve the win. Don't take it any other way other than you raced, you won, and circumstances prevailed to take the race win away from you. Congratulations to Joseph and his wife on their new arrival. 🏁👍🏆🚼
Cheater, cheater, dirt eater, LOL!!! Just kidding, I doubt a 1/2" of shock had anything to do with the win. I get rules are rules, but that there is a shit deal. Still a win, still great driving and great team work. Shake it off, let it go, and move on the the next race.
I thought oh know with 2 laps to go, from what the title said. No scales but worried about 1/2” on shock. Unbelievable.
Awesome job Jesse I-racing had been helpful I bet !! ? Plus ever since Camron start do HTF tires ya all been way more consistent good job 👍
Jesse on the phone with Joseph after he watched the hot laps and called Marshall first :) also he put the gap on the field right off the start ..good job driver!!!
We know you're not cheaters. It breaks my heart Jesse didn't get the win he fought so hard for.
It's a shame a little detail like that can affect a race result. Jesse performed flawlessly.Time to lay a little guilt on the shock provider and let him know how important that little detail is.
Maybe they could Sponsor a couple races for you to make up for the error.
You guys are not dq'd in our eyes as we know you would never cheat. Your a class act bunch of guys. Congrats on the W and i'm proud to be one of your kool sponsors.
I’m so sorry Jonathan but that shock didn’t win the race Jesse did, but I understand completely why you are mad.?? I would be mad also but a 1/2 of inch?? And we all know that y’all are not cheaters!!!! Regardless Jesse won the race and was the best car there out of them all. Congratulations Jesse on your “WIN” and a great job driving don’t let that get you down.!!! 🙏🏁🏆🇺🇸❤️💪
Man that's tough. HTF1 looks really good. Come back and get'm next race.
1/2 has been my down fall my whole life jessi is getting alot better behind the wheel maybe next year you can put him a 604 in that car
Interesting. As Jesse mentioned, the tech guys said "You can cheat if you want to" in regards to the weight. A right front shock is not going to have as much of an affect as being light. So they enforce the shock rule, but they can't enforce a weight rule because they don't even have scales. We all know that Jesse pretty much "whooped" the field. Great job. Go back and get em next time. Also, congratulations Joseph and Kayla on the new daughter!!
good job Jesse, congratulations Joseph and Kayla
Why don't they just let you run bump stops. Bumps are a lot cheaper than spending the time and money to figure out coil bind setups. Such a stupid rule.
You guys did Very Well.......just have to DOUBLE Check Everything...The New Camera Gal Did an Amazing Job as well A++
Wait till that motor gets checked. No stock 602 is turning 6600rpm without floating the valves
I'm sure it will checked soon but I would say it's right coming from Eric!! But your correct there is no way he turned that many maybe 5600
Well that stinks. But I'm pretty much 100%sure no one thinks you guys are cheaters. I'd be mad at the shock company for sure.
Years ago that happened to me in a similar situation. Won the race got tore down found out I had 6-inch rods in my motor. Bought this from engine builder and didn't know about the rod length. Keep your chin up it happens to the best of them
Brothers I can’t believe this smh, there’s no way you guys are cheating at all. Apparently they don’t watch y’all’s channel. We will still call it a win in our books. Call
Wow thats all im gonna say over them saying oh you can chaet not saying you guys do your awsome thier trying to find something you came down to thier track and spanked them here lets throw this rule at them and DQ you
Way to dig Gator Bait you done good!! You should hold your head high.
P.s. I know y'all ain't cheaters.
I would be calling my shock builder ASAP and giving them an ear full. When you are paid to do the job right you don't do it half ass. I would be livid! Jesse you did a hell of a job awesome job of driving. When you pay good money for a product to be right and yes it is a good idea to make sure it was done right but at the same time the builder should have done the same.
That's some BS, doesn't matter, would've won either way, that shock didn't matter, Jesse done one Helluva job wheeln!! Proud of HTF😁🏁🏁🏁
You guys did great and I will call the shock company and say hey why did you not put the right shock together for us
Would
You guys run a great program. Things happen in live. That shock didn't make a difference at all.
Been thinking for a while about this comment, but can't believe that you just blindly bolt parts on without checking to make sure that they aren't within the rules when you guys are chasing wins. You have to know you will be checked at every track when you beat the regular competitors. You can have all the religion in the worold but if your outside the rules no one will give a damn!
I hate to say it but for a while if you win they are going to look at you. Keep doing the right things and move forward. Hunt The Front !
Do u know if they’re still racing tonight?
@@matte9789 The race has been moved to Sunday at Southern.
@@rodconner9079 preciate that
@@rodconner9079 And Just Dirt will be live streaming it on Facebook for bargain price of $6.99 for anyone interested.
You guys are NOT cheaters. We all know that. Replace the shock and go back next week and wipe the floor with them. Show them that it wasn’t a shock that caused you to win. I’d personally make that my go to track every week and dominate them and run them in the ground to make a point!
no good cars go to that track they don't pay this track is in north west Okaloosa county maybe 30 half hour from Milton FL this track is for wont to be racers
hey guys stuff happens. ck with your shock buildr, there might be an honest answer as to what happened. congratulation jess, you had them covered. we know that you guys don't cheat, figure it out and drive on. congrats to Joseph and family, glad to hear that Joseph survived it. lol seriously, glad to hear that all is well with the latest htf member.
I have been out of racing for a long time, as I fell into alcoholism, homelessness, and really struggled until someone told me about Jesus. Somehow the Lord put you guys in my feed and I never would have clicked on the thumbnail unless I read what is written on the rear deck of your car. I'm now a subscriber and starting to watch your videos so I'll be rooting for you guys!
As a brother to a man who lost his life to alcohol (among other things) I am proud of you. Keep living life one second at a time and keep Jesus with you at all times. Things will continue to get improve. It wont be roses all the time but you will always be in the garden with him!
@@kamurray67 thank you for sharing that with me and for the encouragement. My name is Darick, and I'm just beginning The Lost One Project to share my story and those of others to point people to Christ. I am sorry about your brother. Alcohol has been a major battle for me, and I know so many who too have struggled, so gotta prayerfully and openly push back in Jesus' name! Thanks for reaching out!
No scales but they measure shock travel?!?! That’s crazy!
Exactly what I was thinking.
@@mkgarage510 All it takes is a stiff surface and a tape measure..besides they were looking for internal bump stops.. It's just there is a 7" rule...Yea sucks a big one but the tech man was on point this day
@@Hunter-eb6hx no doubt. The tech man was doing his job. But I don't think I've been to a track with no scale lol
Johnathan, is there a rule that says shock mount center to center on the rf have to be x when compressed?
If they are worried about a "bump stop" condition in the shock, why aren't guys just putting an eccentric busshing in the shock mounts to shorten the distance when the shock is compressed? Just let the shock bottom out ?
Shocks and bumps tops were not a big thing back 30 years ago when I ran so I have no idea about them.
On a brighter not , Jesse you are finally a driver and not a carpenter sawing the wheel. Congratulations man, you are really smooth now with the steering configuration that car has over that other car. Great job , and hard to swallow when it was a manufacturer cheat you had no idea about. Everyone knows the HTF team wouldn't cheat or even try a little .
Great job again all of you.
And Congratulations Joseph 👏
👍🏁🙏🇺🇲☝
Man I'm sure nobody thinks yall are cheaters and like Jessy said if they do then well they are stupid lol great job guys keep diggen
Jesse that was a damn good job you kicked there a..s going to the next one show them you are the man buddy H.T.F. 🏁🏁🏁
Man, hate to hear that..
We know y’all ain’t cheaters..
Things happen, just a learning experience..
Keep on doing what you guys are doing ... rocking on...
Gett’em next time 🤙🤙🤙
Been waiting for the video always love watching keep them coming
Things happen, you guys built this channel on integrity thats why we watch. No scales but 1/2 on shock crazy. Get em next time!
Well that stinks . Make a video of u calling shock builder
Man that sucks guys that was a good run u guys not cheaters in my book GO HTF
So they ain't got scales you can cheat but your shock is illegal lololol
what.........no scales. Unbelievable.
You said exactly what I was thinking...😂
@@TheCrewChief374 Crate Racing USA: Shock Rule line #5: Front 7” shock must collapse and extend 7”. 9” rear shock must collapse and extend 9
@@Hunter-eb6hx I also bet thar they have to weight a minimum weight too. Yet they stated Jesse that they could cheat on that.
Besides the fact that they never stated that the full length of the shock rod was what they were going to check. Since the tech person stated they were checking to see if the shock collapsed entirely into the shock. Not that the shock rod had to be 7" in length.
Now I will agree that the HTF clan needs to check these type of things. Before bolting them onto their cars.
Yet if the track didn't even have a working set of scales. Items like a shock rod being an inch to short, is pointless item to attempt to police...
Seriously now, don't expect me to buy what you are trying to sell here...
@@TheCrewChief374 As bad as it sucks this is the only thing that matters Crate Racin’ USA Weekly Racing Series: Shock rule: line 5: Front 7” shock must collapse and extend 7”. 9” rear shock must collapse and extend 9”.
Never Assume!!! Jonathan!!! You should know that , to bad for Jesse . Races are Won in the Garage!!!!!! Always check out source items.
Congratulations Jesse ! You still Won ! and The tire Guy is the Best!
Well godam if I order somethin from so called professionals I would assume that them bastards would build it correctly. There’s no way in hell I’d ever use that company for shocks ever again
You shouldn’t have to check somthing from a certified builder especially shock guys 9/10 they will do their job lol
That is ABSOLUTE BS!!! Many of our shocks are THE EXACT SAME WAY... Wow, Just wow... 🤯😔
JES boy you can drive! I'm so impressed . That's a win in my book. Great job bro great job. I see a team driver . God bless.
Good driving Jesse. You walked away with ease and smooth in traffic. Look at it this way.. The track would never post tech a slow car. Show them next time.
So a track with no scales disqualifies you for a half inch shorter Shock? Enjoying the better looking camera operators lately too
Yah like they could have been 50 lbs light but heaven forbid they have a 1/2 inch shorter shock that I'm sure had nothing to do with the win.
Awesome videoing great job
So the track can DQ you for 1/2” of shock travel but doesn’t even have a set of scales or can borrow a set of scales to make sure people are at race weight. Seems pretty legit.
Jesse you ran a great race. They had nothing for you. I’d like to see you guys get a different shock and go back next week and repeat that dominant run!
With all things considered..... Jesse's hands looked a lot steadier. That was one hell of a run you guys keep your heads up. We know you're not cheaters get the right shock go back out there and get them again..
Congrats Joe Joe and Kayla!! That half an inch didn't win him that race! Good equipment and a wheel man won that race. I'd come back and wax there ass again and show em yall ain't cheaters
Congrats on the baby Joseph & Kayla!! I just had my first born 2 months ago and let me tell you, it’s definitely a blessing!!
Capital makes a good car
Worried about that, but not worried if someone is 300lbs light apparently.
@@scott1708 Not necessarily 300lbs of lead, but I could see an easy 100lbs with just the driver, 10 vs 20 gallons of fuel would be at least 60lb difference. This is a stretch, but a chromoly chassis with titanium hardware would net a significant amount compared to a mild steel chassis.
@@scott1708 Agreeing with you, just odd that they don't have scales. Possibly they were messed up just for that night, who knows. Them checking RF erased my thought of it being purely an outlaw track as well.
Now if they never have a set of scales, it opens up being too light to the locals for sure. If I know they aren't going to weight me, I would damn sure try to get it as light as possible.
As fast as Jessie was you had to know they would check everything.
How long has Jesse been racing? He done a great job and that shock deal didn't do it I like to see y'all come up here and Race on Tennessee National Speedway in Hohenwald,Tn 38462
You can’t tell me 20:10 didn’t look suspicious
That freakin sucks!! Great race guys I believe in y’all. Man that thing was flying tho 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁👍🏻😎
Hate to say I say that's no cheating wow they should gave it to jess anyway heck 6 half ain't bad but 7 heck jess get them next time bring it back beat some azz hunt the front jess well kick butt again
Hell of a job Jesse, never seen you sooo smooth! Don't understand what advantage an extra half inch of extension gives you on the right front but, rules are rules I guess. You had my heart pounding! Cameron is one hard working animal! Congratulations to Joseph and family.
Golden Rule... trust no-one. Check Everything. Mistakes happen.
hey htf just wanted say good run and stuff happens and ive been watching you guys for day 1 keep up the good work
I dont think u guys r cheaters. Just damn good race car drivers. Way to give it (car) hell jesse
Lord knows you're not cheating! Joseph and Kayla's baby girl is beautiful!
Jesse DQ'd because his shaft wasn't long enough!!!!!! LMAO!!!!! Sorry bout the joke. Good job driving Jesse don't think your inadequate shaft made a difference. LMAO!! We know y'all aren't cheaters. Congrats to jj and Kayla
Congrats Jesse you ran a Great race!! Also Congratulations Joseph on the birth of your daughter. HTF NATION!!!!!!
That's ridiculous one half inch of piston length that doesn't even affect the performance of the car unbelievable
Congrats on the win. Ya'll spanked their butts. A 1/2" of shock extention on a shock that is always compressed is irrelevant to me.
And congrats to Joseph and his new family on the baby !!
half an inch more that it's compressing tho. might be a thousand of a second without a doubt would have caught the whole field up by a lap 🙄🙄
Bummer, car was the class of the field. Jesse did a fine job wheeling it. Time to get the equipment oversight handled .. 🏁
He looked really good in the heat race wasn't sawing on the steering wheel a whole lot looked fast
Hey way to put it on them driver these ole sons are goin to make a wheelman out you yet. Remember the light shines brightest on those who are successful and that means people will look for a reason to call you illegal. I dont think that made a difference but #RULESARERULES oh well go bust their asses at Southern on sunday!!!! Though #HTFNATION didnt get the victory all the confidence in the equipment and in yourself were definately gained. Now it just means you still gotta give us 4 more wins :) Great job Jesse, Johnathan, Cameron and Bethany!!!!
Blessing the moma and baby are well, go get em jesse
I hate to be that guy....but, please don't have the driver fuel the car. Especially while wearing the fire suit he wears while driving.
Don't think anyone who fallows HTF would think they cheated in anyway, of they did they don't deserve to be HTF fans. Jesse you did a great job. Joseph and Kayla praying God takes care of you. Johnathan we all love your family and friends. God bless HTF.
Man that SUCKS! Jesse drove one heck of a race tho. Looked freaking awesome!
Nice driving Jesse! As others have said, hold your head high man. 6.5 or 7 " of travel, the outcome wqs going to be the same. Your path was smooth.
HTF1 Nation!!
Congrats to Joseph and Ms Kayla on the baby girl!
Its fusturating.. but you guys are still number 1 in my books... oh well load it up and get them next time... I smell a free shock lol
