This was incredibly helpful! I’ve done the Harris classes, read books, and watched tons of videos which definitely helps, but nobody talks about how to drive. This was what I needed to know. First night out after watching this I felt way better in the car. Thank you!!!
16:04 It clicked for me. I know the difference between drive and momentum. But how to apply it to the car and what I need out of it at a given spot on the track, that's where it got confusing. Wasn't exactly sure which driving style I was trying to accomplish. It seems like a simple idea but this will help me a lot. Thanks Jay!
Jay, thank you so much for making these videos. I am brand new to racing, running a hobby stock class. I set up my car with your shocks and springs, now I just need to learn how to drive. These videos should help tremendously. It would actually be beneficial for me and I assume other Newer drivers for you to break down Driver actions even more. As an example, braking at the end of the straightaway, then turning. Are you releasing the brake completely then turning, easing off of the brake while beginning your turn? Dragging brake while applying throttle? As you are applying power through the turn, how sideways should you allow the car to get? Basically none? Minimal? 1-2 feet out? At what point are you sacrificing speed? I realize this is going to be different for different classes of car. But I am assuming most beginners start with beginner classes. Thank you again for these videos!
Get your car geared as close to the tracks size that u can someone there for you don’t need a Ton of brake cause that just slows u down but get it so that your motor brake slows ya down just enough that you can just Roll to center and then right back in the throttle therefore your not using much FOOT Brake @ all. I like allot of gear ⚙️ it helps me with how I drive allot guys are under gear and still have lots of pull even at the end of the straights so many because of that over drive the entries.. make sure your not leaving any ENGINE Power out there on the track get it geared as close to the track as u can and that will help u allot. IMO
Last I knew the checkered flag 🏁 is always waved on corner exit … So with that said it makes no sense to Race as hard as u can I to corner entry just so u have to slow down and pay for that on corner exit.. So it’s ok to back your entry up so that you can get all u can on your corner exit where the W 🏁 $$ is waving!! So many guys in race with all just PlOW into the corners and then usually are spinning out center / off 🤦🏼 and they don’t learn either I always make sure my exit is always perfect and yea sometimes I back the entry up just a tad but guess what not a 1 beats me on exit. I think allot of these guys that over driver entry do so cause their gearing is wrong and or they’re finally thinking they are catching some cars lmao 😂. Racing isn’t for everybody Mr Jay I’ve given up trying to help these kinda guys cause there nodding like they get it but then they go out there wk after wk lap after lap and do the exact bs that u just preached to them. 🤦🏼. My track does 3 spins and your done cause sadly a few of em loop it every single lap.. 😂🤷🏼
Thank you for all the information

Good luck and continue to learn your skills and you will master driving.
What if there a small arc but high embankment? I race the Emo speedway
You may be able to race down the banking on exit or diamond the corner.
