  • Can a 13 year old Really Drive a Race Car?! Yes, Yes he can. This is Onyx's 7th time behind the wheel on the #73 Midwest Modified. Proving himself to be #SmoothOperator and up for the challenge. Now we're counting on Zach not to mess things up in the #6x modified for the Annual Fallen Lineman Race. Does he have what it takes?? Or will bad luck strike again?!

    Seat time is everything. Onyx will gain confidence and passing in no time.

    Good job Onyx. Focus on logging the laps and gaining seat time. Did really good holding your line and showing respect to the guys coming up on you. You've got a great teacher to follow!

    Sure miss watching you wheel the 73 late model, Zach, but you can sure wheel the 6X too! I've seen you have a couple of these nights in the past, only to come back the next week and park it in victory lane. You have a great crew and know this is "just racing". You guys always put on a good showing. Onyx is a chip off the ol block in the 73 B mod and will be leading the field soon! Thanks for taking us along to the track and best of luck the balance of the summer and fall

    Great video. Congrats to Onyx.
    My first time to that track was in 70's while at the Tech College, had a demolition derby going on. A couple weeks before, had my car hit in a collision. I jumped like he!! as the first cars smacked into each other and that metal crunching noise caught me off guard. Lots of years since being back at that track. Cool to see this video.

    Being a lineman and a part time farmer this is pretty neat to see you flying the FLO banner. They do great stuff for lineman families when linemen get hurt or even worse. Now you just need the shirt👍🏻

    Oh wow. Seeing a Thoennes wheeling a 52 sure brings back some memories from the 70's of the Folken/Nieland/Gilbertson/Fred Thoennes era at the wheel of the 52. Great vid. Best of luck the rest of the season to both of you.

    Dang!! Been a few changes since the last time I went to a stock car race!! Back in the mid to late 50's some of the cars were "run whut ya brung" racers. And bumpin and stuff was kinda common. Never went fast enough to need streamlining or wings on the car. Checkered flags sure were hard fought though!! And competition was tough. And I have wonderful memories of those dirt tracks and the sights, sounds, and smells of racin!! Zack, some days it just don't go your way. That last traffic jam looked like here when there is some construction and the pavement ends. Onyx!! Good ride!! I nearly broke my neck here twistin and gyrating around trying to keep in sync with your car. You will certainly get better man, real fast. You are one sharp guy. Thanks Johnsons!! I really enjoyed this ride. You are both winners and I am glad you let me come along.

    • @hawks2252

  • @hawks2252
    @hawks2252 10 місяців тому

    I think it is wonderful that you introduced your kids to racing. Hockey payed for college for me ( i loved it and could play) but I learned more real life skills racing dirt bikes (just wasn't that good -haha) . There are obviously mental skills that are learned in both - dedication, determination, work ethic, etc. But racing is just different in the skills you learn. You know.
    edit: don't have spurgeon (the MN wild captain) change your tires- haha.

Onyx will get there, I remember when you moved up from carts. You must have been 14-15 and didn't take you long to be running in the front.
