Sharing your self righteous opinion, with the World, is smarter. As if you are/were wearing Asbestos Typing Gloves, anyway. Electronics (including Typewriters) and Typewriter Ribbons are just as Flammable as any old Racecar, you know. On #2nd. thought; you do your Typing, on the Toilet, as full of Crap as you are.
Okay gotta ask 🤣, I lived in that area my entire life. For whatever reason why do the local guys hate the track so much due to its size? They all want to race the tiny tracks where it’s nearly impossible to actually race it seems like from the stands anyway. Wouldn’t the bigger tracks like this be more fun? I for the life of me cannot figure out why they hate the bigger tracks. The small ones just seem to tear the cars up more because there’s more crashes. Any thoughts or your own opinions?
Most guys will tell you they don’t like it cause it harder on equipment then smaller tracks. It kinda is. But the same time it’s 30 thousand for a new motor for a modified these days threw a good builder. And 30 to 50 thousand for a new car. And most of the time you wreak at a smaller track it bolt on stuff. You wreak there it usually toast. Back when they got cars all the time 10 grand would get you a hell of a car. But not now days. You ask 8 out of 10 drivers that’s what there going to tell you! I mean we still took our car and it’s a fun place to race. I hope that place stays alive and I wish cody nothing but the best of luck. I like the speed planet!
@@tjrousht8 ah okay that makes sense! I’ve been seeing some back wrecks at the smaller tracks like skyline and Tyler county too. Been toasting some cars. But you’re right the big track is very fast so you screw up there it’s over. Yeah the prices of them now are insane, I’ve looked into super lates and mods both and it’s insane. The track payouts are too small for the amount you guys have in the cars. I love watching them, have been since I was a kid. My dad raced some before I was born and my great uncle was some sort of manager or something at skyline when I was a kid. I’d love to race myself but man way out of my price range sadly. WV has some great potential I just hope he’s smart with it. Have to wait and see what happens
Big tracks are hard on motors because of high RPM on the straightaways for a longer time . Our motor has to be rebuilt every 1200 laps if we ran there every week it would be wore out in about 400 laps
@@tjrousht8 That's huge for a dirt track! I wonder what gear those guy run? I'm from east TN, biggest track around here is a little less than a half mile.
I’m not sure what they were doing that day if they were racing or not but I used to take my friends car out with several other cars to pack the track before race time and if we went to fast the speaker would holler at us to slow down . So ya I’m not quite sure what those cars were doing out there ???
It'd be interesting to see who would be fast and what speeds if tires were half as wide. It most certainly would take more talent than unlimited wallet!!!
@@tjrousht8 my bad my small screen on my phone I thought they were late models, that is impressive in a mod. My eyes are getting bad in my old age lol
You should go there and offer to show them how to do their job. Prediction: If you arrive, by Christmas, the "Track Santa" will present you a Compass and tell you to get lost. Good Luck, Track Santa's Li'l Helper!
You watch a video like that and get bit by the racing bug, it starts messing with your mind.
Driving any type of race car without gloves just seems like a really dumb decision.
You're opinions is dumb.
agreed
I come here just to read the pansy comments about no gloves
What the hell are gloves going to do for you other than stop a blister? It’s not going to keep your wrist from getting broken.
@@derickdoveglass Fire protection... But to me it's a personal driver preference.. I don't get these folks that get bent out of shape when they see someone not wearing any.
It's just so cool to see a slide in dirt at 70mph.
This looks like an amazing race track to visit.
Too bad they closed it down again
Another guy who's too smart to wear gloves.
Hands grow back
Why go any way but raw?

I was about to say i saw 113 on the ole speed-o-meter
and...? whats your point?
Been on Fire glad I had gloves on
This might not be 200 mph nascar fast but I would love to see one of them throw it on at 110 mph they would absolutely shit them selfs
Really?! Most of them came from dirt! 😂
Most of them have already been doing this before they came to Nascar.

Hauling the mail! 💯
Is this a open wheel?
Yes Ump modified
Might have been a sport mod
Nice!
Those are some long doggone straights! How big is the track?
The track is a 5/8. It’s pretty big

@@tjrousht8 where is this track
@@calebthacker2162 mineralwells West Virginia
Boy was that track smooth. Like crunchy peanut butter. 😅🤣
Car looked good strolling around that track.
That track looks to unstable for speeds like that
What kind of chassis do you have
Sorry didn’t see this comment till now. Gunslinger by Shaw
No gloves?

Prob filmed during hot laps
its called hot laps you god damned idiot! why are people commenting that dont know anything about racing?
Looking forward to a bunch of self righteous A-holes sharing their Gloves-related Opinion, in this here Comment Section.
Qualifying maybe?
Nice ride
5/8’s mile , bag ass track
Big you mean
no gloves? that's insane man.
Somebody is itchin', for a Gynecologist.
@@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113 what
113mhp
BLAAAEEEWWW GET TO DA CHOPPA!
113
👍👍
I saw a 113. That's a big track
Length and girth right! Track is extremely long
Drive it like ya just stolen it😂😂😂
137 is track record in a sprint car.
This isn’t a sprint car tho
It'd be interesting to see who would be fast and what speeds if tires were half as wide. It most certainly would take more talent than unlimited wallet!!!
The car you watched in the video only has a 8” tire. So I’m not sure how they could get smaller. And we don’t have an unlimited wallet.
@@tjrousht8 my bad my small screen on my phone I thought they were late models, that is impressive in a mod. My eyes are getting bad in my old age lol
I seen 113
At mountain in momas 100 race
If they had someone WHO KNEW HOW to work a track & get it ready for RACING.... could have probably seen 120/125mph. POSSIBLY Just Saying!!!!!
Chill out.

Didn't realize it was fake until near the end. Damn those graphics are getting good these days
what are you talking about moron?
Why you think it's fake
Why so many ruts?
First race back on it in several years.
Scuffing tires n dirt?
Yea
Nice gloves!
Thank you, for the Compass. So many MPH's, i became disoriented and forgot where i was.
Dang...track looked awfully rough to be starting a race night on.
no it didnt.
@@RedroomStudios GFY
When i was there years ago when it was 5/8 mile there were doing over 130 to 140 range flat out flyin
