I think we can all agree after so many years of builds, we get to enjoy the track videos. Way to fucking go rob. All of us are so damn proud of you guys 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Never thought about it like that. Good comment
No we are Dahm proud of these guys 😆
preach!
It's so wild seeing a car that I saw at Gridlife burn down like that. Its a scary reminder that anything can happen. Glad he's ok.
That's why I'm putting a full fire suppression system in my next build
Hey Rob, get the load leveling air system for your truck. It’ll help with braking along with ride quality. It also helps with hooking up.
Yes I own a 2017 big horn and the air system is a must day and night difference
Add an air dynamic nose box to the trailer:
Install the generator upstairs & storage below.
Exhaust fumes away from pit work area.
Better fuel mileage, Etc😊
Use dual caliper sensors setup:
Haltec & the "new setup", compare data logs.
Knowledge is power!
My youngest brother used to drive Laguna Seca in the 70s in Formula Atlantic, 1st with down force by Wayne Ewing.
Surprised the entire grid😂
Watching the evolution of both the 4 rotor and the 3 rotor over the time Rob has spent on it is so amazing
Also Rob as a driver getting better and better
Great fckin job and keep on perfecting it
My first trackday was magical. I spent so many years as a gamer playing video games and doing simulators. When I finally did a trackday it was like a dream come true, but the realization that I was not in as good a shape as I thought was evident. I've spent a while now trying to work on myself so this next summer I can do it better. It's awesome to see you hitting Laguna Seca. It's definitely on my goals for next year. I started at The Ridge in Washington on my old Ducati 900SS, and I felt like I did days worth of squats after I was done, I was so damn sore.
There is absolutely nothing as exhilarating as a trackday. I hope your videos inspire others to work on their cars and go do the same.
I'm very inspired! Just need some money lmao
E46's had 2 different length wheel speed sensors for the rear dependent on if you had a manual or auto trans. You seem to have the shorter style. Might be worth seeing if the longer version will fit better.
I think you jumped the track at the same spot Tavarish did with his McLaren! DANG! Careful with that beautiful car!
That giggle on the corkscrew was so wholesome, your genuine fun and happiness put a smile on my face. Can’t wait to see more and more fast laps and surpassed goals as it gets sorted.
Rob, all of you guys - this is GREAT to see. Tons of FUN vibes. Learning to drive, bedding-in the car, flash new trailer. What's not to like! Excellent.
corkscrew shortcut not recommended, 1/10... but seriously it was awesome to meet you in person and talk shop. If I knew you were running the continental abs I would have asked you so many more questions about it. Thanks for all the info on the Haltec setup too, I'm going that route for the next Seven (lotus) project.
He's on the 1996 Zanardi line for "the pass."
I figured I have enough aero I could glide straight down. Didn’t work 😂
I can tell you a flat bottom car goes the distance in the dirt/mud, and somehow even farther than that when going backwards@@RobDahm
i can only imagine how much of a beast the 4 rotor would have been on the track
2025 I see Ahura at it's home here
I’ve been watching rob for so long and im so glad to see him actually enjoy driving his cars on a track
So that's what 'hot lap' means... My dude was 'on fire' there. 😉😉
Huge fan and love the rotary track content! It was magical hearing/seeing the Datsun go by at 15:38 S30's for the win!
Seeing Rob drive reminds me of my grandma.
Laguna Seca ❤
Countless hours on this and Nürburgring on Gran Turismo 3-4-5 when I was younger
@15:00 I was silently screaming to myself turn in harder turn in harder. Never had the pleasure of going to Laguna but it was always my favorite track to race on sim games that right hand corner can definitely sneak up on ya if you don't late apex the left lol.
Any other UA-camr a track day seems boring and I don’t watch, but I will watch every minute of rob for some reason.
Yeah I agree! Why is that?
I think it's cause the content creators seem to fluff up their video by throwing in so much content that the audience doesn't want to watch for some reason? But with Rob I'm 100% listening the whole time making sure I don't miss something? Heck I will even tap backwards to rehear something to clarify what was said so I can interpolate what is going on?
Even though Rob is fixing problems and he's having issues with his car this time....I still stuck around till the very end 👍
As a competitive example, I really like watching Adam LZ, right? But I do find myself tapping the forward button a heck of a lot on his videos?
Then you got other creators that I won't mention their names (who are extremely massive channels btw) and they clickbait every single thumbnail so that you have to watch a 40min clip for just 20seconds 5 minutes from the end of the clip!
I'm getting so sick of it that I am starting to call it out. I mean these creators don't give a sh!t if they are intentionally wasting your time because that is the intention from the beginning. It's how they get paid. Rob is sold out and dedicated to just making excellent technical car content. He's not consuming people's time with useless fluff hoping the audience will stick around for the content that they clicked on the video for in the first place?
With Rob, it's not ALL about the content either, much of his content is dedicated to solving problems and improving designs etc, so we are engaged even with his problem solving content? It's the fact that Rob is doing it himself, he's learning on the fly and is good enough to include us in on it by teaching about it afterwards. Rob invests a lot into what went wrong so that he can educate his audience? And even if he doesn't know at the time....we will always hear back from him about it in a later episode when he's got his own mind wrapped around what's going on?
Going back to the example with Adam LZ, this isn't something that he can do as his team are the one's doing most of the work on his cars (he's got lots of them and he does a lot of events so his channel could never allow for all this) even if Adam was as capable as Rob?
Rob had got fewer cars though, and all of them I like? With Adam's cars, I don't like ALL of them..... so when he dedicates a whole episode on a car I'm not really interested in, well then I'm probably not going to watch the video?
I think if Rob had 32 cars that I probably would find that I don't like ALL of them and if Rob dedicated episodes to cars I didn't like, then I'd probably find myself skipping watching those particular videos?
I think (again I'll use the example Adam LZ) if Adam had less cars and they were all cars I really liked (the Mustang or the corolla I just have to click on those episodes!), then the ratio of content I like vs dislike would be much higher?
Thoughts?
Alternatively there's channels that I literally had to unsubscribe from because they just jam pack fill their episode with so much random stuff from their life that the thumbnail becomes a lie. They are the 'cashing it in' creators and everything to them is about capitalism and they are always begging their audience for likes and shares lol. I don't think Rob has ever asked for likes. Rob doesn't ask "can I have" your likes. Rob says "you can have" and then cuts the feed and blueballs you like a girl on date at the cinemas 😆
Laguna Seca is DEFINITELY a big boy track! Especially with the hills and curves combined, it's a tough one even for the pros.
Viewing from Robs onboard camera, this track seems to be really nice.. and difficult. I think if you want to up another magnitude, you need to go to the Nürburgring Nordschleife😂
is it time for fire suppression system on the 4rotor after seeing what happened to that supra?
I would love to see Rob start tinkering with the Cummins Diesel in that truck. Rob and the team could do amazing things with that motor.
They just need a reliable transport, they got their hands full with tinkering rotaries.
Lol isaiah's suitcase looks like he's ready to join the circus 😅
Watching this event in person was so special… from the racing to the drifting
… it was a blast
it as such a good time meeting and talking to you man
Nothing is more Rob than posting a video on how to setup a completely insane antilock brake system and then following it up with an intro WHERE HES SCARED TO WIRE A 4 WIRE GENSET.
glad to finally see what happened lol i work at Laguna and saw it in the back but wasn't really paying attention to the race🤧
ive been fortune enough to drive laguna once so far and it is unlike any other track. cresting the cork screw is absolutely terrifying at speed the first time
10/10 will drive again
Lets gooooo, best way of going to sleep. Thanks for your content mate, greetings from Barcelona.
Its so fun to watch you Time Attack and everything, itd be awesome to see you do a drift build too sometime.
No project car is complete to me until it has at least a fire extinguisher present, possibly a suppression system (at least for anything I intend to track or push hard)
Great video Rob, awesome to see the three rotor getting so much quicker and dialled in.
Ngl Robs one of the only people who can make a track day interesting to watch
Your trailer wants 50A because they designed it to be able to run everything at the same time without any issues. With the 30A gen, you'll only be able to run about half as much at the same time (this will be important when you get serious about racing). It will be worth getting the right generator in time. You may also benefit from some tire warmers.
Beautiful sharing Vidio... good bless you 🇮🇩🌸🌼
Have you tried Rev matching on downshift/ heal toe to match engine rpm to wheel speed , not sure if it's a big thing in America, but allot of race car drivers do it in nz, helps with wheel lockup on down shifts.
busting out the Chillbo Schwaggins in the truck! SICK
Interesting that you say it's nothing like the simulator, i find it quite on point in VR in iRacing.
After watching Rob do multiple actual races, I'm convinced he doesn't race, but just cruise. Dude's doing 80 mph on a straightline in a car that can do 200.
Your ABS pump is just connecting to dial-up!
Before anyone else starts complaining about the 50 amp and 30 amp thing: as a former parts manager you only generally need a 50 amp connection on an rv/trailer with two air conditioning units. If you have one AC unit you don’t generally need that many amps.
I thought i saw you in the background of some other vids! Lol. Sucks for that Supra owner man, for all that to just burn to the ground is brutal. Glad he made it out ok at least. And that S15, sweet lord thats a good looking car!
Rob you should get a front and rear camera pov and do a separate track only vid
I rode that track in 85 ! They allowed spectators to drive on the track after a race . We were told to not go over 30 and no passing . I was on my brand new Honda vt500 Honda shadow and got kicked off for racing another kid Great memories!
Your enthusiasm is very contagious and your car sounds like a fiiiing rock star...
Thanks for the content, man.
Heck that was almost a Tavarish jump 😬
I found your super identity, Dahm! 4:57 You became the Keeps Man!
I wish I could post the pic
I just realized watching this, part of why i love watching your channel is the spongebob energy you have Rob. Thats a compliment 😂🔥
Rob needs to build a 1 or 2 rotor generator for the trailer.
Thinking that i watched you for years and only now do i see you on track is amazing to watch. Cant wait for you to fix that boost by gear issue and finally send it full bore around a track.
Car sounds good and I wish I was out there with my Fd. Rob your driving seems to be improving. I know the Fd is great for the channel but I think that buying a spec miata and running some hard laps will improve your driving much quicker. Then get in the Fd and rip it. Thanks for the video
Rob just lived one of MY life dreams! Driving a Rotary RX-7 around the Mazda Raceway. What an AWESOME track 😅
Love the telemetry! More on screen data! Looks like you took the Amex Zanardi line through the corkscrew! Nice job overall!
Alex Zanardi...sorry
We need Sundae cup content this next season!! The insight will be amazing, so awesome to see all the progress from your first time with the 4 rotor at gingerman to two years later and flying around laguna. So proud and so excited for your growth Rob!
good to see you havin fun, btw, this is all that hard work payin off. if you're ever in a pinch and want an on-call editor hmu.
Cluchless down shift is cool but using the clutch to down shift will make you more stable under hard braking.
Noise restrictions hah! In the small town we grew up in, the dirt track cars could be heard but it wasn’t obnoxious if you were more than a mile away. To me they’re making a mountain out of a mole hill. If you don’t like the noise, don’t buy a house so close to a track.
I have high blood-pressure. One of the medications I take is Minoxidil, the active ingredient in Keeps. I have been "taking" Keeps for 20 years at its maximum prescribed dose in pill form. It does work! It just doesn't grow hair only on your head!
imagine that if you didnt redo your wiring that fire could have been you. Proper wiring in a vehicle is so so so important its not even funny sometimes. A single bad wire could be source for spark for fire. I am so happy you redid the 3rotor.
Seeing the 3 rotor in person @ laguna was funny. It looks cleaner in the videos, but in real life she’s pretty rough. Definitely a driver/racecar.
No other way to say this and it's going to sound preachy, but it comes from being a burn survivor, having been burned while trapped in my race car, July 1999: Wear your damn driving gear! Not just your suit, but socks, shoes, gloves, balaclava, H&N device, all of it EVERY time you go on track. I don't care if your testing, doing a shake down in and out lap, what car your driving. If you go on track wear the gear. It doesn't just buy you safety, it buys you time to get to safety. The other thing that comes to mind is this, you set an example for your community. You inspire them, they get on track, they wrench and do cool things. Set a great example for them. My gear saved my sorry butt, it'll save yours.
I feel real bad for that guy's Supra burning down, but I have to admit I'm glad it wasn't an A80. 👀
Looks like fun, always wanted to run that track.
I'd absolutely watch content of you going to get some proper race driving tuition from an established school/internet race driver like Randy Probst etc. I reckon it would massively improve you skills and ability to tweak your cars set up and track performance.
Glad the driver was ok... but equally as glad it wasn't a mk4 😮
I'm just glad it wasn't me
Mk4 guys don’t drive them enough lol
Just a bmw...
I was literally coming here to say the same thing about it not being a Mk4. (Currently crying that I sold mine)
BMW reliability
absolutely insane that your cars number and lap times matched
the same house thing has happened to all the large racetracks in Sweden and i am so mad. They build houses next to a well established racetrack, 30+ years after the track was built, and people move in knowing there's a racetrack. Then they complain about the noice and get restricitons placed on the track. This has happened atleast 4 times on large tracks here.
New Dahm video, time to get food and sit down
Reminds me of the Gran Turismo games where I would tinker with the gear ratios to match the revs I wanted for the track.
Gotta love Seca
I'm just about to watch this but even the first 3 seconds is full send 😂
That is so , , , , Kool id Love to run that track!!!!
I'll never forget a happy hour where a guy pulled up in a Ferrari that had a small engine fire. I sat there with my cigar and drink and in 45 minutes all that was left was engine, tranny, wheels and frame. It was amazing to see an entire car go up like that so quickly and completely.
That red RX7 at 3.25 😍
Dude this rock, glad to see after all these years, you going out and crushing some tracks, but man you have to get back onto the content grind, feels like we are seeing less and less of what's going on
Is Isaiah's bag full of rubber duckies??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seeing that happen in person was crazy glad the driver got out safe.
nice jump rob, almost got scared for a second lol
So it might be a little over kill but you could get one of the bed sponsors then throw a vacuum bag and pump so you could roll it up when not in use
Yes those are the factory 10a apex seals wides
It will be from a 73 rx3
Hey Dahm, if no one's said it to you before, maybe look into wire mesh motor mounts. Don't want the 3-rotor to end up like that poor Supra...
the fuel pumps sound like a dump truck running into a nitroglycerine plant when you go WOT
Love your videos, always deeply informative keep up the great work
Oh man laguna seca. I did a ride along with a youth leader in his mustang when I was growing up. I agree, it looks like the video games but of course nothing can prepare you for what the corkscrew actually feels like.
"You can't wing it with motorsports level stuff" *proceeds to zip tie a wrench to the brake pedal*
Lmao not like SIM, proceeds to take corkscrew in worse way possible
What a great video! Rob welldone man! Inspirational 🤘
Let's Go Dahm! I never clicked faster, i cant wait to learn whatever you have to say... You are so full of knowledge!
Where's the corkscrew... Where's the corkscrew... Where's the corkscrew... Where's the corkscrew..?
15:01 - There it is!
DDE Dave off to the side filming the burning Supra.
That gear ⚙️ box 📦 rice 🍚 crispy shifts❤
The lift and exhaust pop at the turn 5/6 sound booth made me laugh out loud. IYKYK
Rob cut that corkscrew like he was playing Gran Turismo.
I'm surprised I still remember this track layout by heart, I guess hours of simulation actually does pay off a bit.
its a very easy track to learn/ remember, and its in every game. i think everyone who has every played almost any racing game knows this track.
@@wotever99ninynine very true, it was definitely my favorite track growing up
They have fold up then beds that are very comfortable that can be put in the trailer perfectly that are only a inch thick and can fold up on Amazon I have one love it
I bet this is what happened to that Supra: "Ah it's the loud day! I'm gonna pull my muffler off and get loud!" *torches plastic bumper with exhaust*
I saw you at laguna seca didn’t get to meet you tho, you were working on the breaks for the 3 rotor to get laps in time then after I went to get something to eat glad you didn’t burn down 😅
DDE was there...that's so cool
When are you REW swapping Fab daddy's RX8?! That would be an epic series!
Im sad I didnt get to meet you that weekend. Even though im just now finding out you were standing right in front of me at the Tpain performance :')
i think a generator from Sachs with a Rotory would be the perfect thing for the trailer
