[katanamast279]

Does anybody know if there is a similar place like this anywhere in Texas???

[ArcanineKing]

How much would it cost me to get everything I need to know about racing and become a racecar driver there?

I'm deadly curious that I'm so set on racing legitimately and professionally. It's my life-long dream.

[PersiaGoldman]

UR AWESOME!!!

thank you so much, it helped a lot (:

[jose7777777777777777]

i got a vid of me driving this in iracing

[jose7777777777777777]

do you need to have a license?

[mymustang1986]

no you do not they have racers in their series that are younger than 16. the best start young.

[mymustang1986]

if you have the money and want to be a racer this is the best place to start. they have the best instructors and handle everything you need to race.

[Liist]

I like his Beijing shirt

[piipposeta]

Would have liked to see more footage from the track, on the track. More racing, or learning to race :) It was bit short. Maybe a skip special where you guys visit the factory :)

[chickenswaffles2]

Nice shoes.

[amonator]

sucka first learn how to shave right, it looks like my fuckin nuts, then keep yo mouth cocked

[MugenRac1ng]

and your German, enough said

[Malasubidude]

I want to get into Rally so bad, obviously just amateur racing, but still it looks (and is, illegally) so much fun.

[tmat56]

Hey Matt I'm a member of SCCA, you should check that out also, if they haven't mentioned it to you already, maybe if you do good enough, you can move up to Star Mazda!

[nowheelspin]

my kid want` to b an f1 drivr its xpensive i know but every body says that racing in america is not considered a step into f1 they say i need to move to Europe why and is this true

[tolazytomove]

unless you have about 20 million to spend to get in this sport, forget about it.. race go-karts, that is about as close to F1 you will be able to get. Trust me

[nowheelspin]

bommr

[tolazytomove]

But the whole Europe idea would be the thing to do. All the real tracks are over there. But as I said 20 mil+ just to get a car/pit-crew that would have any chance of qualifying. Only other way is to start at the bottom. Race go-karts and see if your kid can get picked up by a sponsor, that is the only way to get in this sport, unless you are born into it, like most of the drivers. And you can get a enclosed trailer and build a kick ass go-kart for around 10,000.

[nowheelspin]

do go kart in europe have my kid meet Stefano dominicali and he` set like hamilton did

[tolazytomove]

What?

[wirelesscps]

what happen to the vet

[Snowmoto]

Agree with the comment a fellow youtube user posted below me. This was very informative and I actually wanted to know how to get a racing license.

[YoshiMitsubishi]

By far, the best video of Garage 419! Very informational.

[JongTong25]

love the nine inch nails music

[PROJ3CTX]

so how do u get the drifting license? lol

yeah, slide all day every day!

[morgangamer22]

COOL

[vivalarey619]

I SEE WHITE HAIR

[C5R2]

how much is this?? just wondering

[kjz28]

You can go to skip barber's website. the 3 day racing school starts at $3,700. But there are one day events that are much more affordable. the cheapest I could find is $600, for 3 hrs, that includes 1 hour of driving.

[C5R2]

o ok interesting... it sucks that its soo expensive

im more into nascar but this looks cool

[kjz28]

This kind of racing is A LOT more fun! NASCAR is just better to watch.

[C5R2]

yea im sure it is ALOT of fun more than nascar though... never to be would it be more fun.. lol

I like Grand Am racing now that looks like ALOT of fun especially at daytona! you get some of the oval then you get some road course!

gah ill never get the chance for any of it lol

[wuttinup]

matt that is badass, i love garage419

[PitwrkzZ1]

Hey Matt, did your experience driving at GPNY help you at all on track?

[Garage419]

the basic principles are the same, so learning things like proper race line on the kart track helps when you move up to the full size track

[Racr4Lyfe]

Can I buy those F2000 cars? And...I SOOO want to go there and drive those F2000 cars! It looks so fun!

[Garage419]

yeah, there are a few of them on ebaymotors right now

[TheHinz33]

@Garage419 how much are they

[citi0rhythm]

how do you maintain flat paint cars....wouldn't these paint attract lots of dirt??

[Garage419]

the flat black mini is vinyl, not paint. but if it were paint, all you have to do to maintain it is keep it washed and clean.

[ryanjonik]

love the NIN for the music.

[DRAGSLICKS]

Wicked episode, Matt! I'm lovin' this racing series, very informational.

I wonder how much one of those little carts cost hahaha

kudos and tell us wth happened to your vette.

[Garage419]

The F2000 cars are about 60 grand new, and the Vette will be done monday :)

[vman1320]

awesome episode...this is going to help me a lot and does motivate me in getting a license. Time to take my s2000 out there!

[JHDRIFT95]

do u guys know any good racing/drifting school in the Orlando/Miami area??

[Chrishawk4]

What happened to your Corvette?

[Garage419]

it was getting a makeover, and will be done on monday :)

[AlexZTuned]

Phil was one of my instructors when I did Skip Barber @ Lime Rock. Great instructor, and Skip Barber was definitely up there on my list of fun auto activities.

[ShaggyGT]

Cool video, but I would have liked to see a bit more of what was going on in the school. I'm guessing that's all you were allowed to shoot. Matt, are you just looking to open track your Vette or enter into the American Iron series?

[Garage419]

I love running at the track, so I've got the vette for fun weekends, and I'm saving up for the Formula series next year

[MrTlTO]

a million huh. What happened? Are you upgrading or did you crash? be honest.

[CSIS25]

thats a nice Ferrari t-shirt

[ddouglasinc]

Yeah About That Ferrari T-shirt... Matt I Thought You Hated ppl That wear Ferrari Merchandise ? Who Don't Really Own A Ferrari... So... Like Whats Up With YOU Wearing Ferrari Stuff ?

[CSIS25]

that is be a good question

[Garage419]

actually, if you remember correctly, i hated on people who DO own Ferrari's wearing Ferrari merchandise at Ferrari shows. The exact quotation was, "It says it on the car, it doesn't need to say it on your shirt." As I do not own a Ferrari, I have free reign to shamelessly wear my Ferrari T-shirt.

[ddouglasinc]

100% Right Thanks For Replying Matt...

[kjz28]

There was a couple chumps at GPNY in full Ferrari outfits. Racing suit, helmets, and shoes, all branded!! Looked like the odd couple.

[cinndave]

I was just gonna ask that. the t-shirts on the Ferrari website are like $60. Sheesh.

[CSIS25]

good lord, even there merchandise is expensuive, i though it was only the cars that was but im totaly wrong there

[scorpio209]

how old is matt?

[Garage419]

My 27th birthday is December 1st

[istilluse56k]

hey matt, no offense but you kinda look like MC Hammer in that racing suit. but it looks good nonetheless

[Garage419]

what can i say, i'm 2 Legit

[moriad02]

Man I wish I had a track closer then 5 hours away.

[hockeynpolo]

we need for video footage of you driving in the car.

[bigcountry4life5]

agreed

[Garage419]

all the in-car footage in the video is me driving

[deepakm]

MOAR VIDEOS!!!!!

[guppy8290]

thats what i want to be doing in the next couple of years- the skip barber national series!!!! great way to get started, wish i had your job matt

[unloadedboar1]

great vid i wanna go there and learn now  id be nice to see more racing of those f2000s tho!!!

[clown4life89]

Looking forward to more episodes, Matt. I know it's a bit of a side step from what the show is usually about, but I was wondering if you were planning on doing any episodes involving dirt track racing: CORR series, WRC, or even just local dirt oval stuff. Keep up the good work and remember to stay down with the clown.

[Garage419]

haven't really thought about dirt oval, but my friend does run his sprint midget car, so we could go see what he's up to :) I'll give him a buzz and see what's what.

[clown4life89]

Thanks! I brought it up because there's cheap and pretty easy ways to get into racing there too. My local track has a 4 cylinder class full of Hondas and Cavaliers and such. Not real fast and furious, but its fun to watch, lol.
