Yes. Maybe also, Post his clips of him racing on his personal YT channel.

Very excited, I've been waiting for updates on this

Damn right bud. Your gonna be introuble onyx is gonna out drive the old man. 😆 . Good work as always Zach 👍 . Your teaching him well my friend

@@ddracing2257 you got that right he is! LOL

Why yes, yes we are. Also, would love to know your Dads history with racing and if he got you into the sport.

This is probably something I need to do for sure!

With an automated tractor, fuel up and load the seed bin then head to the racetrack!

Yup

Then when Onyx is in victory lane he can give dad a walker like my smartass daughter did to me she wouldn't even let me win my retirement race she did the bump and run in the last corner to take the win and me the first loser

I borrowed the tracks tractor once because packing the track the engine started knocking so we pulled the engine from my truck put it in the car took 3rd and as we were swapping it back into the truck someone asked what our plan to get home was if I'd blown the truck engine during the race we all looked at each other shrugged and said see how close the knocker would've got before it installed windows or spent the night hit the speed shop in the morning and rebuilt an engine in the parkinglot or bought an upgrade a very built balanced and blueprinted "454" for the old 76 Chevy K30 "Bicentennial special" was her name I pulled the car with a friend of mine airbrushed the flag flapping in the wind on the truck and the preamble on the tailgate she got the big block when I started pulling derby cars on a 42 ft gooseneck around the lower 47

We prefer to load the chassis sp the shocks and springs aren't working the whole time we travel

I'm not sure about his shocks but mine last longer when they aren't working every mile of the trip to the track during the race and the trip home so we pull the bumpers down till the suspension hits the bumpstops my chasis builder puts 2 strap hooks on each bumper because of the 4 tie spots required when I take my regular trailer to recover a vehicle and deliver it to shop or customer I use the tire lasso straps it's faster than axle straps and I've tied a truck with 47s down with the same straps that tied 14s down try them out you'll never go back to axle straps no more crawling under the car just loop the tire hook the Etrack run em tight and it ain't going anywhere

He's been a rocket so far!

Hillig? From Long Prairie?!

@@betweentherows Now that you say that, yes Hillig! I remember being a little boy and when I went in the pits he signed a t-shirt for me! Good times! Thanks for the memories!

@@betweentherows I grew up in Brooten. I guess you could say Alexandria was my "home" track. Subscribed. I live in Wyoming now and the track we have in Casper is crap in my opinion. I don't go much anymore. I'll just watch your dirt track racing channel. Keep it between the rows Zach!

​@@SB_Outdoorzdo you live in town or have some acerage in the country if the latter build a track it's like field of dreams if you build it they will come I got contracted for the dirt work for a few 3/8 mile track the key to a hard smooth packing fast drying track is mix 3 ton of chicken farm barn cleanings to every ton of clay/dirt at least that seems to be the Midwest trick I always thought they were joking when I was a kid and at the Bellville high banks in Bellville Kansas when we'd take our vacation to go to the Bellville midget nationals they'd call it a chicken sh@t track because I thought it took guts to run there through the "steepest banks on a dirt track" was their claim but by the end of heat races the track would gain speed and the winged midgets could slide 5 wide to this day when I visit it's more impressive than professional drifting to me I haven't been since they had to land a medevac while they cut my daughter's friend out of the car

Ours isn't bad being aluminum 2 guys can lift and latch it without the winch the trailer wasn't quite a year old and the big name winch I won't name on here worn out the power distribution box is what worn out and they wouldn't warranty it (the trailer manufacturer would've but the company of the worn out winch wouldn't) so I figured I could by several harbor freight specials for the cost of the winch brain box that worn out on the nameless name brand winch and being a name brand winch I sold it on fakebook marketplace for enough for a small winch in the trailer and a 12k badlands winch with synthetic line eventually all the trailer winches got replaced and sold before they worn out on us I'll buy front hub lockouts for my 4x4s because I've never had 1 worn out (I've blown them to pieces taking my full size truck up a buggy line and got her hopping on the rocks but never worn out) to me their lockouts are the best in the business but nothing but Badlands winches for me and my family's personal and company vehicles I wish I could get a discount for telling people that

Typical in a mod.. Just a little brake dragging going on 👌

Coming up shortly!!

Last year Onyx was his worst critic I hope he gets over being so hard on himself he's got to remember he's still young and racing some people with more seat time than he has time alive once the butterflies leave he'll start getting trophies there's no doubt in my mind he can read dad's car from the stands and tell him what it was doing he'll learn to read his by sound and feel soon

It's just the brake pads we use and how hard my foot rides them

With a remote control winch you can sit in the car and steer and load by yourself cheaper

Yes, you go in near turn 4 and go off before turn 3.

No, AJ Diemel from MB Customs

I think what you're hearing is my foot getting into the pedal slowly to not break traction. These cars always have more power than traction

Great dude!!

I have many times, but not for a few years

That's cool I run tow truck for them

Yep, he was there.

@@betweentherows good deal. you guys ever run cedar lake WI speedway, I check out the races there once in a while. I cant remember if they run mods there or not, maybe to short of a track. outlaw series maybe run on smaller tracks, I don't know.

@@hawks2252I’d think they could run mods there, because the late models go there every year but I could be wrong.

So less cars get bent and broke trying to make the main event

Nobody should be a politician

@@betweentherows Agreed but they need to be road like wet mules by all of us to keep them from ripping us off. I call mine and he says I’m the only one who calls him so he does what I say.

​@@betweentherowspolitics is derived from 2 words poli Latin for many and tics blood sucking creatures

​@@User-yy6xtsince the president can only serve 8 years I believe every politician should be able to serve no more than the comander in chief some fresh young blood would shake things up and bring in more relevant ideas in my opinion

@@davidwoermansr It would definitely help but the reason it is that way is because we the people don’t get involved in what’s happening. If even 1% of us called our representatives on a regular basis and ask them to explain them selves the country would literally Change over night.

Shit, I hadn't thought of that! Could I just ask the others to slow down?

671,934th do I get the same participation trophy

We must have watched a different race. Do you wear glasses, or was the sun blocking your screen?

Some people can't just enjoy life! They just can help themselves from making stupid comments!!

Who just told us without telling us he's never been in a racecar.

For someone sporting the name loveliest you sure don't show much love and seem to live in darkness Mark Martin drove the highest level of nascar and was paid well for more than 25 years look up how many wins he had and his average finish position over his career racing is as much luck as talent did you get the right gear and tire combo for track conditions you won't know till the green drops in the race will someone run you up or down the track so you have to lift or lose more speed braking allowing people to get around you years in the seat don't equal more wins and I think you missed the biggest factor in racing this is a hobby not a career so anytime hanging with family and friends doing something enjoyable having fun making memories is a win everytime no matter what place the car comes in I apologize if you had to run to your safespace maybe by next year everyone that pulls on the track can make a parade lap and get a participation trophy and load up to go home and you can be happy seeing him get a trophy every track he goes to would that make 25 years worth it
