The Throttle House race car has been prepped and readied for some endurance racing at Shannonville racetrack. Thomas and his two co-drivers, Karston Chong and Val DiPietro, compete in the Lucky Dog Racing League - with Greg DeCaire manning the pit and comms. Watch as they battle through a continuous wheel to wheel race, fight with a stubborn exhaust hanger, and navigate a few other unforeseen mishaps. Things don’t always go as planned on race weekend! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!!

"Eventually, I passed him and never looked back" That's a badass right there. Didn't give that guy any attention he didn't deserve. That's a boss move.

I can only imagine if you made your attendance of this event public that you would have had a ton of fans stop by, bring food, run and get supplies and otherwise offer a helping hand. Then again, maybe you did...I don't have instagram. PS. I like piano black in my interiors. ;)

Thomas, if there was an award for "Most patient person", it would be yours. Because if that BMW was mine, I would have taken a sledgehammer and make it look like a Giugiaro design seen trough a kaleidoscope. And you still put up with it and all its problems and disobedience. You knew that something was going to go wrong, and yet went for the race anyway. Not to seek oversized trophies and podiums, but to have fun. And I applaud you for that. I applaud you and your team's incredible sportsmanship and friendship. Because even though you knew you were not getting first place, you held your heads high and still pulled trough. You did not go home as first place winners, but you did not go as losers either. Because these were emotions and memories no physical prize could replace. Be proud of what you did! Be proud of how far you came! And don't censor out the "Throttle This" sign on the rear bumper. It's literally the best part of the exterior. Imagine the expression on the grey BMW's driver when you passed them and they read that messege. That would have been the sweetest victory of all.

@kristopherdavis9207 2 жыл бұрын

My team and I have been doing endurance racing for going on five years now and I swear, every race is a new adventure. When we're covered in CV grease and slightly burned and sending the car back out again, someone always says "...and we do this for fun?" But the feeling of taking the flag at the end of a weekend is always amazing, regardless of what place you finish. This was great to watch! Hope your next race goes smoother! Also: use regular exhaust hangers, but then add a couple chains around the exhaust in the middle and at the end to prevent another broken hanger from causing you to get black flagged!

Need more content like this. That was spectacular footage. This is perfect "Extra Throttle House". Karston speaks. You really need to give him more cred in your normal videos when he races a third car and allow him to give his POV. Sucks the car broke, but when you can say you had fun, that is what really counts. That is another cool think about racing, other teams that help you get back on the track. Great that you gave them a shout out to help you get back out on the track. Would loved to have seen James out there and see what his skills look like. Been watching for years and see that he's finally got a little skill now on your little bit of paradise. Big UP to your team. Get that merch out there.

Love this racing content. I’ve been endurance racing for ages now, love to see Thomas and crew flogging the TH E46 around, something I know all too much about (including all the failures). You guys did great, there’s something to be said for a team that gels well and has good cohesion. Can’t wait to get our enduro Datsun 280zx out in 2 weeks and drive the wheels off of it at Harris Hill Raceway in San Marcos Texas, we’ll be running the RS4s too… love that tire! Wouldn’t mind Thomas’s racing endeavors being thrown up on extra throttle house too if possible! Cheers guys, amazing content as always.

It's amazing how few teams bring a welder to these type of events. Occasionally there's safety rules involved, but a little portable flux core unit is almost as good as gold at grassroots-level events like these where things like to self-implode when least convenient. If space is of concern (and barring a good generator), at the very least I'd pack a hot torch and something like Alumaloy rods for real quick and dirty fixes.
