As a long time race enthusiast here in Oregon, I have to say I'm glad to see that the folks down there are doing something to improve the racing. I hope that this is what it takes to improve the competition and bring in more fans. This should really open things up.
You did well for your initial run. It's amazing how much horsepower those Dwarf cars have. We had several 1/4 mile tracks here that ran them. They would put on a good show. I am happy to see it catching on the west coast.
It's great to see a new dirt track in Oregon. Looks really nice. Dwarf cars are probably my favorite class other than sprint cars and midgets. They always put on good shows wherever I watch them race.
Roseburg was a Awesome 1/2 mile Dirt Track back in the 70's, we ran Flat Track Motorcycle Races on it for years till they came in an Covered it with the Black Tar of Death !! Glad to see it back to it's Original State !
I wish we still had a 1/2-mile dirt track somewhere in the NW. I think the closest one is Calistoga, CA, and that's been closed for a few years. Portland Speedway was converted to a dirt track the last few years of its existence, and we saw some great Late Models and World of Outlaws Sprint Car races there. I/t was fun while it lasted!
I told Brian I`m looking forward to coming down to watch next year..and yes a outlaw race there. this place could very well be the west coast speed palace .glad to see you having fun.
From what you could show us of the new dirt track it looks cool. To bad that your time in the i1 couldn't upload. Knowing how you can run in that car sure would've been cool to see it. Oh well that's the way things go sometimes. I'm sure we will get to see other tests there possibly if not the 18t sprint ripping up that track ought to be cool too. Especially if you start off setting fast time records at that track. I do how that someone let's the World of Outlaws know about that track so they can scout it out and add it to there weat coast swing schedule next year. Thanks for sharing this different but fun to watch none the less little video. Good luck in the up coming outlaw cart season. May you have a good one. Have fun take care
Hey Tanner I have been following your for a while and sure have enjoyed watching and cheering you and Carly on. I just subscribed to the channel, my brothers and I have raced in the north west with a sprint car on pavement as well as a super modified about 15 years ago. We had alot of good luck at the Roseburg speedway and this brought back alot of memories. We are from salt lake city utah, we ran with the NSRA sprint cars and ran the whole tour for two years and finished second both years to Trever Montgomery from Victoria Canada. Wish you all the luck going forward and hope you get to race at Roseburg.
I owned a dwarf car back in 2001 my friend Stevie Adams raced it out in Casa Grande and Canyon Raceway Az. We came close to winning the Championship a couple years in a row. We had a blast. 😅😅
That is one seriously cool track.. might turn out to be the next second best track in the country next to Knoxville's. You are gonna have a blast with this track Tanner.. you should like going super fast.. too crazy for me .. just think you gotta another track that is near you to win at.. oh yeah Tanner it was Anthony macri guy that mopped up the woo guys .. you'll be head to head soon.. he did it two nights in a row like last week .. haven't seen him since though .. but did see Allard win and you can beat Allard... This track looks like a canadate for silver crowns..I think Carly would love that kind of car it's her style of fearlessness and would like that style more than you. Watch the last crown race a girl named Kaylee Bryson came close to winning.. I can see Carly flexing her muscle there at that track
Tanner you need to see the photos of Arrowhead Speedway which used to be West Siloam Speedway in Concord, Oklahoma. That place was completely demolished and built back up into a nicer dirt track. Looks like the pits have some form of pavement, the grandstands are new, and it appears they totally redesigned the track. So it should be a nice facility when it opens next year hopefully...
man iv been watching you since the karts. congratulations on all your amazing accomplishments you've done so far. hope to see you come to Michigan sometime soon brotha. if i order some merch would you be able to autograph it for me.
They put dirt on that track 30yrs ago but couldn’t get a good car count and the local asphalt racers refused to convert their cars to dirt. I’ve been there many times with the NASCAR west series.
I had a chance to pit crew for a friend that had 2 dwarf cars. 1 gas and 1 alcohol. One night he told me that I was getting my turn to try it out. I came home that night and told my girlfriend that I had sex with my clothes on. Wow what kind of fun. These cars were both set up for asphalt. A couple weeks later my son went with us. I got another chance but this time was his alcohol car. I pulled in and my son was going wild. I asked what was up. He said DAD you pulled a 17 second flat lap. Wow I can’t begin to express the fun I had.
definitely cool to see you get in a dwarf car, we race those here in ohio and it’s a fast growing class. more common over here racing at sharon speedway and other local tracks
I really wanted to purchase a Dwarf car this year to Race in Pennsylvania but had to go with the INEX legend car . The car count and support just isn't there yet with dwarf cars in my area . Dwarf cars are so awesome though I wish they would pick up around here 🤔🤔
Raced there in the late 80s was like going to Daytona for a small town boy had some good runs looks like it will work good hope that all the tracks work together on race dates
I ran 4cylinder class in Eugene until they turned it into a mud pie track, the last two races I ran were at Roseburg, sold my car because we were a guest class once a year?, was pondering building a new car?, but seeing what they've done to the track in this video clinches that as a negative!
Compared to a sprintcar, that must have been like pushing a cinder block around a puddle of mud. It does look like getting them rotate through the corners is easy to do though; perhaps even easy to over-do. 😆👍
Awesome track I'll have to get down there. I do have to say though that "several hundred" miles from Washington might be a bit dramatic lol its not even 200 miles from Portland/Vancouver and it's only 350 from Seattle. Decent little road trip, but I don't know if I'd call it several hundred lol
I want to start racing so bad but I have a disability that causes me not to be able to really work many jobs. Don’t come from a wealthy family at all. I wanted to ask on UA-cam what is the cheapest and also easy type of racing to start doing ? Karts? What are some tips I could follow?
Kinda bummed they put dirt on the track again. I raced there on asphalt for alot of years in different classes. But I gotta admit that new track looks awesome.
in terms of track improvement, especially when it's a new track, or brand-new-to-the-owners racing style, expect it to be rough for a bit. Without a start, how can you improve? You know?
My husband ran a dwarf car for 16 years. His RPM was usually around 13,500 with his Suzuki GSXR 1000 which is probably the most popular engine that dwarf cars use.
I bet no one took better to a dwarf car than you! Interesting first time on a first track. Uhm, 3 trophies in 3 different classes in one night? Yeah, I think so!

It's always good to have a new venue! Can only help to promote and expand Dirt car racing, especially with that seating !!!
GOD BLESS Y'ALL !!!

Happy to see dirt in Roseburg!
That looked fun, great new speedway
Its great to see another dirt track on the west coast. I think theres a good future in that track.

Thank you Russ!
Will be interesting to see how this plays out. We don't really have the car counts in Oregon to divide up to another track if they have weekly shows.
I don’t think Roseburg plans to be a big weekly track
I owned a dwarf car back in 2001 my friend Stevie Adams raced it out in Casa Grande and Canyon Raceway Az. We came close to winning the Championship a couple years in a row. We had a blast. 😅😅
So sick to see you wheel a dwarf car dude! Would love to see you come race a dwarf car in Texas or anywhere tbh
Hope to see more of you In one and can't wait for next season 5s is coming strong hope you have a great cart season man !!!
Can’t wait to see you drive there
That seems like an awesome track and I saw your new suit short it looks great

That track looks fun
Looks like serious FUN🙂
Good luck at the Trophy Cup. Going to be over 100 cars there. Elbows up Kiddo. Hit that great qualifying time.

Thank you! And yes when you order just put in the notes to have it signed
Dirt is for racin, asphalt is for getting there.
That was a fun vlog
They put dirt on that track 30yrs ago but couldn’t get a good car count and the local asphalt racers refused to convert their cars to dirt. I’ve been there many times with the NASCAR west series.

It looks fun to drive a dwarf car
Dwarf car looked like a heck of a workout.
definitely cool to see you get in a dwarf car, we race those here in ohio and it’s a fast growing class. more common over here racing at sharon speedway and other local tracks
I really wanted to purchase a Dwarf car this year to Race in Pennsylvania but had to go with the INEX legend car . The car count and support just isn't there yet with dwarf cars in my area . Dwarf cars are so awesome though I wish they would pick up around here 🤔🤔
That’s a beautiful track enjoyed the whole video good job running that dwarf but I’ve found most guys who go fast can go fast in anything
Raced there in the late 80s was like going to Daytona for a small town boy had some good runs looks like it will work good hope that all the tracks work together on race dates
Absolutely love racing my Dwarf Car. Takes time to get comfortable with how twitchy they are.
You have to focus in and slow down the spit when you talk. 1:42 😂 Looked fun, bud!
Hopefully they do better than Portland Speedway. They did the same thing and tanked. Best wishes and I hope to go there in 2023
I ran 4cylinder class in Eugene until they turned it into a mud pie track, the last two races I ran were at Roseburg, sold my car because we were a guest class once a year?, was pondering building a new car?, but seeing what they've done to the track in this video clinches that as a negative!
How long is the track? Looks like a half mile around the top
How big is that Roseburg track compared to Cottage Grove or Lebanon?
It's a 4/10th Mike paves or was paved Douglas County speedway
Compared to a sprintcar, that must have been like pushing a cinder block around a puddle of mud. It does look like getting them rotate through the corners is easy to do though; perhaps even easy to over-do. 😆👍
I raced dirt midgets, drove a friend's dwarf car one night. Heaver and less HP, not as nimble, but great entry into racing.
Obviously this IMO.
i can see the dwarfs and sprints that run Antioch coming up here
You should do a day in the life vlog lol
We will soon!
letting him do his thing is good, black bears are usually gonna do what he did when you were driving toward him...run away.
awesome
Nice!
Awesome track I'll have to get down there. I do have to say though that "several hundred" miles from Washington might be a bit dramatic lol its not even 200 miles from Portland/Vancouver and it's only 350 from Seattle. Decent little road trip, but I don't know if I'd call it several hundred lol
He’s dramatic often
Ya a little dramatic lol, I ment several hourss
I’m going to try one Tmr
I want to start racing so bad but I have a disability that causes me not to be able to really work many jobs. Don’t come from a wealthy family at all. I wanted to ask on UA-cam what is the cheapest and also easy type of racing to start doing ? Karts? What are some tips I could follow?
Are you gonna race at merced speedway in California next year
Maybe!
What ever happened to Bennett and his drawf car?
He still runs. Just had some engine issues
Kinda bummed they put dirt on the track again. I raced there on asphalt for alot of years in different classes. But I gotta admit that new track looks awesome.
in terms of track improvement, especially when it's a new track, or brand-new-to-the-owners racing style, expect it to be rough for a bit. Without a start, how can you improve? You know?
100 percent
I want to see you race a Midget at Chilli Bowl
Is the dwarf engine a 600cc engine like what they got in micros?
Most dwarf car engines are 1000 cc
Is it going to be a sanctioned track or unsanctioned?
I believe both for certain nights
Wow how many RPM"s are the dwarf cars turning?
My husband ran a dwarf car for 16 years. His RPM was usually around 13,500 with his Suzuki GSXR 1000 which is probably the most popular engine that dwarf cars use.
Ya I believe almost 14,000 rpm’s I think
@@TannerHolmes wow crazy power and great to watch!
Tanner have you and Carly ever considered racing Midgets?
We want to!
I love any car that uses a motorcycle engine…
I bet no one took better to a dwarf car than you! Interesting first time on a first track. Uhm, 3 trophies in 3 different classes in one night? Yeah, I think so!
You will need a minimum of 12 cars for good racing, the more the better.
Well you found out how far you can push it
First
😎
Got someone who messaged you on messenger asking if you wanted to drive his car
