Rachel's First Time Ever On Dirt Race Track Learning to Drive a Street Stock and Hit Skidder Tires!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Rachel finally made it to a Racetrack with the leaf spring camaro. This is her first time ever on a race track as a rookie learning how to drive the street stock race car and she did great. Before it was over she got too brave and took out a skidder tire!

This is AWESOME. Great Job Rachel... Seat time is Key... I promise. Learn how the car feel's. Adjust it way out of line. Drive it... Adjust back in line. Know what you as a driver like. You style maybe different then the next guys. But Seat time.. is priceless.

Everyone has to start somewhere. I've hung bodys and done all the setups while my cousin got to race the late model, then one night we're at the track he said I could go pack it in come back in it was hot lap time he said I could go for it the ultimate rush I had on dirt the other was the dragbikes I've raced over the years. Go gettem girl you can do it.👍🇺🇸🤙🇺🇸

Glad to hear you're climbing back in the seat. After 20 years out though I bet you will be a much more technical driver now.
Did real good! I was told years ago that has always stuck with me. Go out there and build up your speed and push your self each lap until you spin out then you back up a lap before you spun and that is where you need to be.

She looked pretty good out there for never being on a racetrack she did an excellent job you know as well as I do seat time the Morrissey time she gets the better she's going to get but great job in spinning out I don't care who you are I've seen guys that have been racing for 15 years that still spin out but again great job looking forward to seeing some more videos hope you had fun but y'all be safe take care

I think Rachel did great for the first time on a track. It takes a lot of seat time to get going forward. Hope she gets opportunity to take on more practice laps. Rachel also seems to listen, and take advice and better herself. Good Luck.

Very impressive!! To go from not ever driving to turning Semi-consistent laps!! Seems like a little more side bite/drive may be all she needs because it just seems to tail out just before picking up the throttle again!! Super impressive!!

I think putting her on a track with some grip would dang sure help. I think the car does need a bit of work center off but that track was so dry and didn't build any rubber at all so I am still studying on it. Looks like it needs a bit more bite in the left rear and I think the right side needs to be lowered.
My first time racing was a bust! The second night my father told to send it as hard as you can if you wreck the car you can always get a new one. 3rd night I was running 5 top lol Sometimes you gotta send it lol

Sweet job you will find your comfort zone you'll just need to learn the limits of your particular car and set up. The first time I drove my leaf spring camaro I planned on following in the back that didn't last through 1&2 I was starting to pass. It's hard to win but wins will come with determination proper adjustments and the comfort between you and your car. And respectfully earn and command respect good luck one more thing I hear other drivers occasionally worried about wrecking and yes it will happen but in your heart know that your not wrecking it will help your confidence and driving. Good luck thanks for all of the content I've definitely learned some stuff heart California dirt racer #09 street stock Douglas weeks Dimond mountain speedway 🤟🏁🇺🇲#09

The Camaro is classed as a Factory Stock. Basically a full frame and stock type / placement suspension but they allow aftermarket noses and body panels.
Looked very good. But need to keep those thumbs out of the center of the wheel.

Do you really have to use the brake pedal in a Street Stock? It's been a few years since I drove a SS.
@DIRTRACELIFE
Жыл бұрын
Yes, especially on a dry track like this one was. If a track is perfectly tacky you can end up not trailing any brake at all but under most conditions, in order to get the car to roll into the corner instead of slide, it takes brake.
