- In this, episode 119, DV spills the details of what you need to know to start successfully racing not only on the CHEAP but also technically AHEAD of the rest of the beginners by a BIG margin. Although this, part 2 of a multi-part series is pretty much stand alone watching part 1 and parts subsequent to this are really recommended. With what DV puts forth in this mini series has got to be worth well over a years learning experience and you will go faster sooner as a result.

JUST FOUND THIS GUY WHILE LOOKING FOR LS HEAD PORTING VIDEOS... THIS GUY IS A GENIUS...SUBSCRIBED
I paid 25k for a college degree in high performance from UNOH, probably the best high performance university in America, and I gained so much knowledge there it’s not even funny. That being said I’m not kidding when I say the most important thing I ever learned in college was David Vizards name.
Excellent advice, David! Thanks for sharing!!
I know we don't agree on everything, when it comes to modify an Ecoboost Mustang... but, I do value and respect all that you have given to the world of motor sports!!!
And I enjoy your videos and have read your books! Looking forward to 2024! and God bless!!
AJ Foyt when asked how he got through the huge crash on the front strait of the 1964 Indy 500,the crowd was dark they are normally bright when I approach. The crowd usually looks at him,they all had there heads turned ,he noticed the back of their heads.
Talk about seeing the whole picture!
Thank you sir
Thank you David!

Of you it's to late
Hello from Australia,,, my son got his first rally car for xmas at the age of 13. Both my parents raced and i drove rallycar hot laps for a living, so you could say there is fuel in this aussi dna
But you guys drive on the wrong side of the road. 😂😂 I suspect the steering wheel placement originated from old time steam locomotives, because the engineer drives the train on the right hand side of the locomotive cab. Just a guess, I really don’t know.
being right handed, its better driving a manual from the right hand side seat as my left hand is changing gears which leaves my dominant hand for steering @@richardtibbetts574
You should consider yourself very lucky. I've been following the rally scene now for 22 years, I first got interested when I spectated at a local one when I was 14 in about 2006... I still can not slot myself into the motorsport scene basically because I'm not a millionaire. I look at all the respected figures in Australian amateur motor racing and basically the thing I've noticed is that they're all upper, upper class high society. Even the people in the excel racing series's to me are extremely rich people compared to myself and it's getting worse (no thanks to motorsport Australia's constantly upping the red tape.)
So basically at this stage I've decided to forget it, if I was this age and earning the money I am now, 30 years ago, I might have been able to get my foot in the door.
Must be nice for people who's family and friends are already involved but absolutely no body I know is the slightest bit interested in the same thing as me, I am completely alone in this endeavour so I've gotten nowhere, basically.
I guess the 318 has been shelfed.
I know. It’s been so long, that I’ve all but forgotten about it. Too bad, because that project really peaked my interest. I used to have an old four door Plymouth Volare, and it had a 318 with a big fat Thermoquad sitting on top. Makes me wonder what kind of power could be coaxed from that, using the same build parameters of project Mission Impossible.
Back in the 1970"s, Tommy Fox rsced a Chevron B16, I think, at Edmonton International Speedway. At the time he was in his 70's, had been a bush pilot in northern Alberta and the Territories. He got into trouble years prior for flying a bush plane under the High Level Bridge.
Some of the young hot shoes had been worried about Tommy's reaction times. At the awards dinner at the end of the season, Tommy was given dome kind of award. As part of his acceptance speech he mentioned the young guys concern and stated, don"t worry about my reaction times. When I see a corner cpming up, I am on the brakes way before you young guys.
Tommy would get out on the track and motor around just having fun, but rvery now and then he would get with one of the young guys and have a ho with yhem for a few laps.
Is this for warm tire pressures? I've been told that a good way of finding the right pressures are to measure the heat of the tires
Hello Mr. Vizard, i beg your pardon if you’ve adressed this before. What are your thoughts on phenolic spacers? They are supposed to lower intake temps, have you seen HP being gained by using them? I’m waiting on the arrival of How to Port and Build HP vol 2, i hope this wont be another of my interests that fades away, I really hope I catch the bug for building engines I believe it would be a Nice life/job to have. Btw I’m also a mechanical engineer, currently I’m doing my Masters degree in Portugal.
Daves advice. Drive it like an 18 wheeler. Look ahead not just directly in front of you
yeaaaah nty, I don't like people starting drama for credit that they already received, no more please yt
Hi David, I have a question on a cam choice for my 383 stroker. Can I email you my engine build sheet. I have called cam companies / engine builders over and over! I’m not getting a straight answer and it seems that no one really knows… please help!

Here we call that tunnel vision.
Lynn, I would hazard a guess that target fixation and tunnel vision are not quite the same thing - maybe a viewer with some knowledge here could cast some light on the subject!
@@DavidVizard you're still focusing on what's in front of you. Therefore you don't see what's on the side.
@@PADOYLE thank you for incorrecting me😑.
When I used to ride motorbikes for a long time, I noticed that when I stopped for a break, if I just stood and stared at a point in front of me, it seemed as though everything in my peripheral vision was moving in a forward direction, because my brain had gotten so accustomed to everything in my peripheral traveling away and behind me that when I stopped, my brain was still trying to compensate for that movement even though I'd stopped. That would last for about 20 seconds and go back to normal.
@@NickGreiner1988 I can't say that I've had that to happen. I guess I had done it so long that it never affected me.
