Stuff You Should not Do in the Beginning Type of a Race

Yeeaaaa boi! Tjs is the shit my man! Breakfast is the best lol

Jesus christ the anxiety attack I had from this experience lmao

Why is just a drag strip considered a track day? What about time attack

Great video Alex. Or is it Alice? You say it so fast I can’t tell.

Alex: “Plus bonus points it m-matches my socks!”
Alex bro, your socks arent pink.

Wrong sir that’s a d20 roll not a d100 but nice d&d reference ����������

Who drives their car only at 70mph on the road lmao the fun is in the speed and the touge

Since when is a drag strip considered track day? I thought you meant an actual track..

Important rule: Do NOT think you’re faster than anybody. You gotta beat that track and yourself, not others since that takes your attention away!

Basically: keep your ego down and keep it easy.

And I highly recommend asking somebody who knows the track to take you for a ride along first. Helped me a lot. And don’t pretend you know shit. You don’t.

Over in my country
“Time to track my car, where’s the nearest race track”
“The next country”
“Ok maybe I won’t then”
Kinda wonder if I ever end up working in another country what car would I get to take to a race track. Probably gonna take something slow and get as much tire width and down force as possible.
Soooo, like a lotus Elise with way too big wings. Or a gt86

Wish they still had these in new zealand ���� that was my dream

AWESOME VIDEO!!! I learned a lot!!! Please, more videos loke thos one!!!!!

Nice tips! For me “Going Faster! Mastering the Art of Race Driving”, by Carl Lopez and Danny Sullivan is the definitive book on driving techniques.

At 13:00 isn’t it better to have less distance to do against current so boat end is better start?
In fact why not boat end and tack to right lay line so you get into what is then current going partially with you, rather than going pin end to far left and having partially against you at 2 knots?
If higher rung towards wind is best, why not higher rung towards current?

Traction is way deferent on a track so you been street racing think you ready well your not.

Rally tip: if your gps takes you the wrong way, it’s mostly likely going to take you through the ghetto

Story: happened, won the rally still

This is advanced? Learned this shit fucking around in go-karts.

I remember first starting out Drag Racing. 1320 day’s, (that’s 1/4 mile racing for you younger peeps) I would always let out of the gas waaaayyy before the finishing line. Then I figured it out. One time at Friday Night Drags, I was not doing well. Could not get traction. I spun and was so pissed I threw my hands up inside car. Even in the dark the starter saw it. Next time to the line I got a brief ear full about it. Don’t do that shit.

dont treat the road ralley like a forza lobby and crash into everyone and attempt to launch your car

Lol, your first drag race on a strip… You should watch a couple of runs so you can get an idea of the timing system which is the most important… Nothing will kill a time if you arent ready for the green or not expecting it.

That’s a sick BMW in the back

If you know the name tell me so I can change this lol

he’s just re-telling his first experience of how he fucked up at a drag strip.

Or u can not give a shit about what people think bout you? They ain’t paying your bills? Some people just trying to have fun, why judge beginners?

Oh god i fucked up my first autocross so bad. Completely dnf first two runs haha.

go really fast and slam it into R its race mode. seriously though slam it in as hard as you can and watch the magic happen

The heat also causes the oil in the Tarmac to rise to the surface.

For anyone wondering, yes you feel cooler when you and Alex are both wearing the clutch wheel giveaway shirt. Buy one. Shameless sales plug. See ya at Automotion!

Dude, thank you so much! That really caught me by surprise at the end xD. Really glad you liked it:) like your design here

Peter Isler is of course right at the 12 minute point about the effect of currents.
A simple explanation of this current’s effect is that from the time they hit the current it effectively pushes the apparent wind to the left which gives the boat on the left an upwind position on the course. That is all since everything else on the course is the same for each boat. Sail an IOM and you will be able to observe this simple fact if currents are present.

Why pay an entry fee? They can’t stop you from following them

Turning in shallower by just a hair allows to gradually load the suspension and also cuts a bit from the traveled distance, while carrying a bit more speed in. Arguably there is some trade off on the exit, but from what I understand this is one of Montoya’s techniques. I’ve tried this in go karts and a big car and kind of makes sense.
Schumacher also said IIRC he, at least on the Bennetton, slowed the car down, turned it like a tank, and then accelerated out. These are details that could be discussed in these videos.

I thought they would discuss how in mid ohio’s carrousel, nobody wastes time opening wide for it but just let the car go in shallow big time on entry.

Go fast
Fuck the cops, it’s a race, they will get over it eventually

Sure wish stuff like this happened in Kentucky. If anyone knows of any let me know

Ah more tip
Don’t bring your FIAT.
Or you will end up on the side of the road waiting for tow truck.

Lol jk

You will also be responsible for the clean up if you oil down the track.

Just got that T Shirt in the mail today!
I say this because I really want them wheels. But anyway..

Yea that i have to go to one not from my country (3-5 hours to end the rally) but one that is in europe

I will attend Orphan Run 3 next month which is a charity drive in Texas. It is my first rally to attend.

Yo to ralliroad you need a car that cost more than a corolla. I dont have that puss of a car but LoL I wish to roadralli but I live in 180 miles island

I legit started having a panic attack hearing him describe this

If you turn on subtitles, it says hitman industries at the beginning������

Alex got everything on point. I took my sti to a pocono track day for the first time last August, it was scary going for the first time but as the day went on i got more comfortable and the instructor said i killed it for my first time with taking to correct lines and braking at the right times. Made me feel really good

My first year in karting was spent solely on finding the right feel of the racing line and then applying to race situations. Once you find the feel of the line, you don’t necessarily need the mechanically fastest car to be the fastest car on the circuit.

advanced? I learn that shit in GTA V. Midnight racing with retards who can barely sticks to his lane.

2:37, um thats jean girrard.

Go watch talladega nights if you havent.

Have you guys talk about what good brands to get for brakes performances?

Nice video doing the same thing the same way is great! As long as you don’t polishing bad habits. It’s been 1985 since I’ve drove. I had to study manual on the new program shifters…ha ha ha! Dual stage3 NOS and that weird box with the screen. The first few passes will be fun to laugh at by others. I’ll be laughing as long as I stay in the lane. First guess my seat time will be to Kroger minus the parachute. Will tech guys throw me out because of my handicap tag. I have approved cage,etc. Yes I said handicap tag..ha ha ha! I’m 66 and just can’t stand very long without pain. But very happy in these new racing seats. Should I take tag off the car. 1017 was the best number on the Dyno rear wheel. I just like to do a couple gruuuu-races with friends before we all end up in the old folk home��������������!

I don’t think that’s really should be called a rally though… But since you go around the place, yeah, it’s a rally. For showing off and things like that. Winning is just an extra; you also have real friends with that.

It’s always a big ass wake up call when you’re in your 20’s and attempt to do a cart-wheel. REALLY makes you feel old lmao.

Don’t watch this if you actually want to know what to do on your first track day.

i’m surprised about how basic their vocabulary is when describing corners.
none of them say “increasing radius corner” to describe one, for instance. they just give examples.

yeah, pretty much as i expected, the real deal is still more about feeling than theoretical knowledge.

6:23 that’s something missing from some racing games that really cripple fine tunning. you have to drive consistently on every other corner of the sector if you want to know if approaching a corner one or other way is faster. real-time on-demand feedback is something really helpful.

Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior and he is the son of God believe in Jesus Christ and have eternal life.

u know everybody watching this is gonna be running 100 mph on the freeway

The explanation and advice given between 9:42 and 13:37 is TOTALLY WRONG. Neither end of the line is favoured. The only decision to make is how to cross the band of current. You should choose which tack you need to be on and where on the interface between static water and flowing water you want to be. In the scenario described you would want to be on a port tack at wherever the lay line happens to cross the interface (it doesn’t matter that the lay lines will have a shallow corner at that point). Now, in order to get to that point of crossing the interface on port tack, it really does not matter which end of the line you start; neither end is favoured.

Track day in title, drag strips and driving around car parks in the video. Good video and pointers for first track-day drivers, but boy do you Americans have a weird idea about what ‘track driving’ is lol.

i like how the porsche guy gets all technical, always how it is.

This will help my braking and cornering in competitive racing games thanks for the info.

The don’t go as fast as possible is so true. First time I tracked my bike I was too jumpy on the throttle and 12 o’clocked my bike right off the line. I managed to control it, rode it through to the end of the track and safely made it out without crashing or getting hurt. That was also the first wheelie I had ever done. So seriously people. Do take it easy. Use the first few runs to figure out the best launch rpm for you and your whip, be it car, bike, truck, whatever it is. Especially if you don’t have a launch control installed yet, but you want to get it done, or you do, but it’s not fine tuned. Yes it’s a race, but it’s also the safest place to learn and tune yourself and your ride.

People go to the track to increase there skills not to show “spectators” how you drive lmfaoo yall are talking about the STRIP there is a huge difference

These are not advanced techniques, these drivers are explaining the basics. Drivers are often the worst people to ask because they’re not teachers, they’re drivers.

Consider these basic ideas: fast lap times are created by efficient corner exits, and especially on corners leading to long straights. This makes complete sense. So, what should a line look like? Determine the best corner exit point that allows you to achieve the highest speeds on the exit and down the straight, and build the line backwards from there. Go fast in fast sections, go slow in slow sections. In a race, keeping the guy behind you is all you need to do in a slow section. So, why try to go fast in a slow section?

In other words, your braking point, corner entry point, speed, and apex are all determined by where you want to be at corner exit. By corner exit we mean the spot where the car is pointed in the right direction that allows you to reach full throttle.

This is summarized by the “slow in, fast out” mantra of the car world. It’s no different in the motorcycling world. Determine the exit point and work backwards. It’s how the best drivers do it. It’s how MotoGP riders do it.

whats the wheel immediately left of Alex’s head? anyone know?

Did anyone else flinch when that mustangs reverse lights came on

What is the fastest line? Great vid…:D  #fastestline   #safeisfast   #roadrace   #racecircuit  

Don’t fall into a ditch like one of those Evo owners. I always gotta pull em out in my WRX

I see, being smart it is not needed in racing competition… And we talk about the soccer players…

I love when this stuff backs up what you already believed. Makes sense to me

You Forgot To Mention: Recording The Whole Thing And Make A Movie/Video/Documentary About It

Mischief 3000

I have been racing thirty years and never had any formal training on this. Thankyou for the info.

Isn’t that Jean Gerard from Talladega Nights The ballad of Ricky Bobby.

i tried using the kerb technique and i smashed my rims road rash everywhere

My first time at the strip I didn’t pull up far enough to stage, & the old guy in the middle got mad ����

lmao I got excited for this video, then as it progressed I realized that i sort of already did what your talking about at a racelegal drag event. Even my slow ass got scared that I was gonna hurt my car. launching my daily on the strip maybe wasn’t the smartest idea lol clutch was burnt af for a few days haha

5:24min xD outta outta outta

Just kidding. I Love this channel…

Looks like that Shelby hasn’t well prepared for the drag race! Damn ��!

I know your not suppose to drink i usually down a beer take the edge off

what is the best way to find events nearby? facebook groups, websites, etc… or something else entirely?

Perfectly timed sand dropping from the roof would be even more accurate and reliable a entity can move through a block if it is in it, so you could have the sand dropping just as the horse moves into the area. This would be able to detect differences of any more than 2 gt, while yours can not detect differences of 6 gt or less. Good job nonetheless.
