Guys this is one of the best videos I've seen in a while from anybody that does dirt track racing KZread videos and you all are more down to earth and truthful about your stuff than anybody else on here and I'm glad to see someone has stepped up and decided enough is enough with this BS that is hitting everyone in the wallet, such as tires and wheels plus much more and it's happening to our regular vehicles we drive every day also.... Until the old and foolish senile leadership in DC is voted out, we're all screwed in more ways than one!!! I hope you guys can keep racing and get some good sponsorship to help you out and I still say Brad's one of the best drivers around anywhere in the country in a Late Model

I fully agree with you. I really enjoy this channel, and if you like this grassroots stuff check out late model garage. I also grew up in grassroots racing from street stocks to steelhead late models in East TN, never had any sponsorship just hard work and overtime. I used to like hunt the front especially since I'm a Christian and I liked their message, I have not liked that channel in a long time, the money and sponsorship and multiple cars and 75k haulers has really went to their heads. And I don't like to intrude into other people's business but I don't even see that guys son in his videos anymore. The joiners went from grassroots 9 to 5 Joe family men to big headed real fast, that's a problem I've seen in alot of drivers I've personally known that went over the hobby line into almost full time dirt track they got very unenjoyable to talk to or be around. I can see how it happens I mean dirt track racing is like the best sport on Earth but Id rather watch a down to earth grassroots racer over a sponsored up pro any day I know also of people would disagree but that's alright everyone has a different opinion.

I just tuned in to you guys and I'm looking forward to hopefully a great new race season. Hang in there it will get better. Ok. God Bless.

Wow. It’s rough. Everything is so expensive. We’ve wanted to, just a bit far for us right now.

I understand how you feel, especially on the cost of things. Even we don’t run LM just expenses can add up. Our noses for our cars went up, $80, the aluminum sheets like you said, however I do have 90% of the sheet metal here, just bought it last summer at a scratch and dent sale, plus a sell out. The best thing about our class is the tire rule, retreads are still inexpensive and we can run them for a long time. That’s why we’re traveling local, we have 11 races we can run with a 2 hour drive for 1k to win minimum. Our local track that we won the track championship only pays $400 to win weekly. So that’s how we intend to cope

I agree with your thinking Brad. The local racer this year will not be able to race every week with price of tires and fuel and the payout will not cover those things. I think this is going to hurt tracks like Talladega that race every weekend cause a weekly racer will not be able to race when the tires will not last but one race.

Yea, I can see the wisdom in not paying 200.00 for tires. Plus I again racing a limited schedule (when you are able) with the cost of tires, fuel, and spare parts.

Now as for those tires, that is something the sanctioning bodies, tracks, and series are going to have to address. Because 210.00 for a tire; that will basically only last one race is outrageous...

Racing is just too expensive at any level. Don't take money away from your family to go racing. Use your work paycheck to take care of your family not to go racing. When I was growing up in North Carolina I worked with a well known dirt track racer and he had a wife and two kids and it was tough even back then. I think a lot of tracks will have small car counts this year.
