The Action Track Terre Haute BIG Half Mile MSCS 410 Sprint Cars Amati 66

Welcome back to the channel, I'm at Terre Haute, the

action

track

in Indiana, this is probably the fastest place we have a

half

mile

, a big scary

half

mile

, a new ride has always put me on it, I'm not sure about what's going on this year, but I've been in a new

sprint

car the last five weekends in a row, but you know it's good, it's good, people are happy, everyone wants me to drive their stuff, but the duties are spread out and You know that's how it is, but tonight I. I'm on the old amadi 66.

I have the seat fully assembled, I was checking the car, I changed the iron rod checking the shock absorbers, but on the

action

track

, this place is a little scary, so you know, only one in the car, not checking the bolts as I've never driven it, we're just going back to standard deal. I asked my friend Donnie Gentry to handle the keys, so Donnie and I helped each other win some of the biggest races of my life. race very excited to be back with donnie uh and shane wade with 66. I won four crowns in this car.

I've won some big races, so the first night, hopefully, take it easy, have a good night, have a good feeling. We're racing two more nights so pick up some speed for the rest of the weekend so just finished with practice the car wasn't bad it was a little tight in the driveway this place is busy right now , which is. It's not always the best because it's a quick half mile, but I checked the right rear shock and it looked like we had a compression that I thought we had, we thought we had an adjustable compression river shock, I started looking at the dyno sheets and It was adjustable rebound so I thought it had all the compression in an adjustable compression when you try to stiffen it all the way up it's the opposite of a rebound so I thought it was out there with 110 pounds of compression. the right rear, but it had 250 pounds of rebound fully strapped in, so I don't think that gave me a very fair reading, but now that we started, they didn't qualify, they didn't have transponders or the loop wasn't working or something. so we start last in the heat race, heat race hard in the half mile, we just have to be smart and not do anything stupid, you know, we go fast, so yeah, heat race time, like that who has to put inches into the race. the rear is too raised and too stiff, no, no, no, yeah, it's like you said, it's just running around the corner, right on top of the ball, what kind of sensation does it feel?

Yes, right in the center. I wanted to like over rotate and that was the hardest thing I could get with the lever, you know, yeah, yeah, it's too much bar, too much bar, probably yeah, it looks like it's just not bracing at all. Up there it seemed better um engine runs now, doesn't it? It only turned 8,000 and I mean, dude, I'm getting late, it's 8 48 76 44 77. It's only going to get worse if we plug it in, yeah, no, I know which one. We're getting ready to finish the heat race, it's not terrible, we started seven, I got to fourth place, I think the first night in this, you know, I was just trying to get comfortable, it was a little bad in practice and you know I found out that that adjustable rebound damper, so now it just doesn't have much boost, so I'm not terrible, we're changing some bars, getting rid of some kind of wobble, normal thing.

I have Donny there, so he's making the call. So, like this, he looks at the road or when I move my left arm here in the corner, you can see the rotor glowing. I'm dragging the brakes on entry a little. They shouldn't have been glowing, but it was light. Thin stainless steel rotor so I think so so we have a restart here and I'm with the fast group of

cars

pretty much a restart. I'm going to go where Max doesn't go, so he goes, but at the same time you don't. I don't want to end up on the slick, so it wasn't too bad to get back to the top, run down here, boom, the thing is moving there, I'm above things at this point, I'm just shy, you know, the car doesn't it's very comfortable. and I'm not that fast compared to the other

cars

, okay, I have another chance at this.

I'm going to try to get down again. I opened my entry a little bit here, let's see, then I really missed the ending because I couldn't. Let's get to the good stuff Max drove pretty well there, at this point we're not catching up to the group of fast cars and you know we're better than everyone else, we just drove around the rest of the field but you can see my camera. There's some kind of glitch out here, it got hot and shut down, so check out this rear camera, cool shot, my friend Jake Rogers, I'm finally brave enough to get over the holes and how hard it was, and It's very easy to spin the tires and listen.

For me on the back stretch I let it rip and it really just spins the tires and doesn't do anything to me, I don't feel like it's giving me any forward grip mmm so this place is exciting every lap, really yeah, the whole race . ran red no, yeah, I don't know, I didn't, I don't know, I never saw it no, I think you hit it three times like it was up, you mean, yeah, yeah, right where the good stuff is, that's why I started to run up. It was like, I know right, I didn't want to run over that, but then I thought I went up there, it was better, yeah, better, yeah, man, this thing as soon as it smells any kind of anything, it's like you.

You know how to jump and then you get a little shy because yeah, you catch a little hole, well it's weird, act like it's got it, it's like Jack's car, like real, like it's got stiff bars or something, yeah, first. part of that thing when you didn't turn it too much on the tube and you hit your mark on the bottom oh, it was okay, it was a rock on the bottom, yeah, but it's like, oh, the equipment helped a lot, you know? the gearing woke it up, I still felt like we still needed around 300rpm, although I'm curious to see what hurts just by listening, right?

It wouldn't matter because I couldn't. There was a turn there with about five to five. wow I just put it on the flat 74 46 8 but but it would have gone more than that okay okay but I was just blowing the tire it was just you know I could have done that okay I got you oh you were looking out from Yes, because we were listening to it and I think I still use more equipment, well, it was because you were talking. It just, yeah, it ran a lot better, picked up speed in the corner and then just exploded.

The tires come off on the straights if I stay on it, so yes, I had to half accelerate to get it out and prevent it from blowing out the tires because then it lifts up and you don't move forward, no, yes. I don't know where we were, I don't know where we were, where they were taking me, yeah, that's what it seemed like to me. I felt like we were good in the corner, yeah, but he just didn't have me. Drive, yeah, I wasn't getting like him here every time you get there, you don't really take off, but you go down, yeah, coming out, you just have to work hard, it gets neutral there, yeah, it did.

It wasn't really like duck and go, but it wasn't really the right kind of neutral zone, well, so I didn't feel like I wasn't running at a hundred percent once I got to mcmax, you know, then on the reset when I wasn't I wasn't catching or doing anything with it, so it wasn't right, you're not going to do any of that, you can't do it right if I couldn't catch them, there's no need to hang it there. I knew there was no one, well I knew there was no one behind me coming and yeah, exactly, exactly, looking down helped me a lot.

He said the brakes are good, yeah, the brakes are, I mean, they're not even hard, yeah, which is good. because we were a little worried because they run, run, it's already written man, that's weird, I mean, I was wearing them, but yeah, I mean, they weren't orange, okay, like red down right away and then they turn bright , okay, put it down immediately. and they get brighter why was I definitely using your program? He was dragging them yeah, okay, yeah, that makes sense, but they usually don't shine well. What I want to know is what you don't like.

You know it wasn't bad. It was very, it was very normal, we just didn't have the forward momentum that we needed, we might end up having to block it with five and get our butts down because we're still low, yeah, that landed some of the Drive right there, yeah, that might been because we're up back and down front, yeah, we could have helped him a little bit there. It will be interesting to see some images and just see what, yeah. What is shock trap? You know because he still runs like the front ends. You already know.

It feels like it has the front end dancing, but it doesn't. He never tries a wheelie. I just finished the show. It wasn't a bad night. You know we started. 11. We made our way to the seventh car, I think we made it to the seventh and that was all I had. The guys were pushing me down the straight, but you know, this is the new car. it's a wingless j car, the only one of its kind, so you know me, I end up finding rides where, uh, it's not a standard car, you know, a speed car, this one is pretty standard, you know, in comparison with both cars anyway, but no, it's not a bad race.

Yes, it needs some work and we'll figure it all out. You know this is not my favorite track. It's such a hard night just getting in the car and trying to feel it out and figure some things out, but hey,

terre

, probably. Got some good footage, looks like my camera is off, rock, turn it off I guess, but hey, thanks for watching Team TV Terre Haute, the action track, I'll see you next time. He usually doesn't like taking photos with me.
