[sA17sbury]

I drive open wheel here in Ky and Ohio. You dont drive with your bumper u show ur "nose" next to there door if that dont work drive in harder than they do it'll make them wanan go faster and theyll make the mistake..Only time its fair ot use ur bumper is when there blockin you the hole time or its just that one guy that you and him have problems no matter how clean u race him u bump him out the way..Im 18 almost 19 years old ive raced modified for 3 years and know that I even know that.

down here in florida, these boys race every race like its their last. they dont care if they have to wench their shit back on the trailer after the race. its going home in pieces if it has to. thats the whole idea though. nobody races to get last place. if your scared to have to spend the money to get your car back together after a race, than racing is the wrong hobby or sport for you my friend. and that goes for any racing. oval, drag,circuit,dirt, motorcyle you name it.

[ntmooney]

yeah this is top notch.

[0505abab]

[79ChevyBu]

these arnt your daddys street stocks eaither...

[thorpracing72]

Hah kid, Using your bumper IS smart. Thats what its there for. Im 15 and I RACE my own pro stock. Hah you hot lap, on a track with no other cars, Figure it out.

[lilkdude8687]

@thorpracing72 using your bumper is a good way to get your ass beat after the race. its not there for you to push and beat on people its there as extra protection for your car in case of a crash. i race a modified and no one uses there bumper for that. you need to rethink the way you drive before you start making enemies that just wanna take you out every night

[joejonasqueen95]

this is safe right??? my boyfriend does this and im always worried hes gonna get hurt. should i have a reason to be worried?!?

[erich84502]

@joejonasqueen95 They have safety equipment. Roll-cage, high-impact seat, helmet, fire-suit.

[33funnyguy]

@joejonasqueen95 There is a slim chance that he will get hurt. Yea, If he is in a wreck, he might break something but nothing major.

[HolmWrecker]

@joejonasqueen95 He's far safer on a track than on the street, statistically speaking.

[CRAZYMANFROMTYTY88]

bull shit this jokere is chicken to use his bumper my son can out drive his candy ass.

[modteam25]

@CRAZYMANFROMTYTY88

thats prolly why u and your kid get their nutz rammed down your throat after every night of racing!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShapeGal]

@CRAZYMANFROMTYTY88 ..Using your bumper is not diving good...its driving respectful..if you think using your bumper is being good..then you obvouslydont know much about racing, im 15 and i hot lap my dads street stock..and even im smart enough to know that.

[pearsonbowhunter]

@ShapeGal use your bumper when needed let them know your there put some pressure on them make them make there own mistake if you can use your front bumper your obviously faster than they are. but you always have to remember you only have one shot to take the guy infront of you out and if it takes that to get to first place than do it. expecially at the track i run at you have no friends out there.

[toxikchevy]

Great film though. Love the in car action

[toxikchevy]

09 Larry shaw chassis alone is $22,000. That's not the parts and engine either.

[bdawg13metallica]

@toxikchevy try bob pierce boys

[racinrhino17]

The tire equalize the class. Come to Outlaw Motor Speedway in Oklahoma. best in the world.

[ltgator333]

Crate motors are all well and good, but it screws your local engine builders and the aftermarket parts manufacturers when suddenly your just buying a crate motor from GM.

I agree that the tires should be how they are- there's UMP mods around my area pushing 700+hp as-is, I imagine what would happen if they had something resembling a LM tire, they'd also be making LM kind of power.

[brown55061]

Good driving man. You handled those passes very smoothly. You guys need wider tires though. Mods just have way too much power and not enough tire.

[TCmod1]

The tires are what make for the better racin, if they had wide and soft tires it'll be whoever has the most money would win. It takes a DRIVER to race a modified.

[brown55061]

Very true, never thought of it that way. Dont you think it would be better with a limited crate motor at least? If every car is equal in power the better drivers should win.

[TCmod1]

In someways it would make better racin, but i think right now they are doin fine. The better drivers should be up front on a dryer track but when its tacky is the only time I'd go for identical motors at a big show or somethin.

[brown55061]

I just hate watching 3 green flag laps followed by 5 caution laps all night long lol. Takes forever to get out of there and go home. Didnt leave last week until 2 AM because the mods ran a 30 lapper. They only had 12 cautions.

[arizonaresident1]

Mods make too much power these days for the tires they are on. This is no longer a budget class. I know a shop selling $25,000 modifieds. That's ridiculous.

[TheRacer17]

lol, i know a builder making $45.000 modifieds.

[Trey3j]

Nice piece of driving, good control.

[55rocks55]

why did you tape it from the inside?

[DirtRacerProductions]

It's called in car cam
