Hello, I'm Charlie... a guy well past the age where you should jump in a stock car and go slide around on dirt, but when you've dreamt of doing this since you were a kid watching your uncle win races all over the midwest in the 70's and 80's, you gotta give it a shot. Did I mention I have no idea what I'm doing and not a good mechanic??? Join us as we chase a dream in the IMCA Hobby Stock division at our local dirt tracks at the Dubuque County Fairgrounds and the Lafayette County Speedway. Maybe we'll even visit some other tracks in Iowa and Wisconsin!
Flip, Fight, then Racing Done Right!
It's hotter at the track this week than Van Halen was in 1984... tempers flare up, a fight goes on, then the great racing kicks in and saves the day!

Quinten & Liam just came RUNNING into the kitchen, “MOM!!! HE REMEMBERED US!!!!” Thanks for the P7 shout out also! You guys are the best! Thanks for putting some stuff out here that my boys are allowed to watch!!
more of the blonde please @ 2:33 lol 😁 ;
I miss when you used to drive, the old boy doing his best. Don’t get me wrong, Jason is a very talented driver, but you have lost the essence of your channel. The old boy out there having fun with the youngsters. Please, at least get another car and come last again, it was more fun to watch. One love and thanks for what you do.
I get it... and I still want to race! Honestly, this class competition level has gone through the roof since last season and was far more than I anticipated. I'm still driving practice sessions and learning all I can to be ready when the time is right! :-)
Good luck at 141.
If you are interested in racing at the axe the dates changed to the 30th and 31st of august
Hey Old guy. I race dirt cars in Michigan. I really enjoy your videos. You might be one of the few that knows who this band is. Last weekend I took the wife to see the Artisum Pyle band. They were great. He turned 76 Monday and still rocking on the drums. Gives us other old guys hope. Lol. Good luck the rest of the season.
Original drummer for Skynyrd! Yeeep. I know exactly who you are talking about. ;-)
Was sir throwing hands kicked out ????
Yea got disqualified but its my cousin and he couldnt race the car is totalled completely so yes he was dqed but he was not thrown out
@@davidodell9360 Damm around here that would have been a vacation
Punching a guy wearing a helmet is not the smartest move 😂
@bugtussle7475 he wasnt wearing a helmet at that point he was black flaged for causing it so he had the helmet off when it apl happened
@@davidodell9360he was still wearing his helmet and was not black flagged. He finished the heat race
Not runs Flow indicators 😅of gravity
I stand by my statement...racing is still the dumbest shit ever. 😅 That 21 car's driver has finally figured something out but what i wanna know is....what happened to the bear??? 😁😉🤣🤣
You are 100% correct... it is! But here we are... and uh, what Bear???
Man, that 50/50 was all my lucky numbers, 9's and 6's. If only we were there and not in NY! I enjoy your videos, keep 'em coming!
Charlie, just a little history for ya. The car that won the late model feature on this night at Dubuque was driven by JD Auringer, his dad built Carl's 1st modified chassis, yep that's the car that Carl flipped on entry to turn 3. JD was around then but I want to say he was about 7yrs old at the time! Damn I'm showing my age again! 😉 Danny W
I knew there was a connection, but wasn't 100% what the back story was. Thanks Danny! And come down to say hello more. We love seeing you. :-)
I'll see you at 141!
I put in my 10+ seasons of turning left at speed, and can personally attest to and confirm that "Sometimes, racing really _is,_ the dumbest shit, _ever."_
I'll be at 141 on Wednesday if you got any stickers. I'd like a few for my truck
Absolutely!!! Come say hello and we'll hook you up. :-)
LR NEEDS A 1/2” SpACER on it it will snug up the ass end for y’all
Can’t stand the ufc wanna be tough guy , hill billy bad ass scumbag shit @ RACE TRACKS!! 😡 🤮 I mean it’s a racetrack shits gonna happen , can’t deal with what might happen then don’t go out on the track!! Tough GUys!! 🤦🏼😩🤮
A car that uses all 4 tires is def faster then a car that only uses 3 🤦🏼
My dad used to run on 141 speedway back when it was asphalt. And ruled that place.
We heard it was asphalt at one point... good to know! Hopefully we can do something that looks like what your dad did. ;-)
Will after going forward backwards forward backwards a fifth place finish not too bad got beat up a little though but enjoy the videos guys tremendously I'm still racing and I'm quite a bit older than you guys but keep up the good work looking forward to the next one y'all take care
Older than me??? How is that possible. ;-)
Looks like Dubuque Speedway should be called Dubuque Derby days, after watching these races, I know rubbing is racing but there’s a hell of a lot more than rubbing going on in DBQ!!
Depends on the night really. We've all seen the good and rough sides of racing.
id check your rear end and make sure its square, a bent rear end will make a car really hard to figure out
Good call!!! We actually just did that. ;-)
@@oldguyhobbies3236 I just had the one in my hobby straightened and it made a world of difference
Crazzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyy night for all involved wow !!!!!
How many cautions does one car get at track? Usually if your in 2 cautions your done for the race.
Heat you get 1 and yer done... Feature, I don't think there is a limit but they take laps away past 5 cautions.
Great video! So what's wrong with warm summer shandy🤷♀️.....😂 We may have to try the go pro backwards, cool perspective
haha, the "Hoosier struggle" because Quality Control is overrated, apparently. 84", 91" ....same thing, right?
It has been all over the map this year.
10 hr shift, come home "Old Guy Hobby (stock car) video just up. I'm all over that. Your video got P1 for my evening! Things are going to get better!
You are too nice! Thanks for watching. :-)
We’ll struggle is part of it. However I do have a question here in the south we roll first time winner in the mud. So you guys do something similar
when are you going to drive again?
First time watching. I liked it. I will subscribe
Thanks, and welcome to our goofy fun channel! :-)
@oldguyhobbies3236 wish I could do more videos myself. Don't seem to get much time off work
Charlie, yall should bring the stock car up to North Central Speedway for the mighty axe this year, we'd love to have ya
Got a link to the details on the race? We'll consider it for sure!
@@oldguyhobbies3236 I don't have a link, it's a 2 day show, I think October 4th and 5th, but dates could change, tracks located in Brainerd MN
Y’all got a hot rod
Do y'all or Teddy have any shirts for sale
We have some for sale at the concession stand at Dubuque, but they are the "Old Guy Hobbies" shirts from last season. I'm sure Teddy has lots for sale at Cherokee! :-)
Keep digging
Look an see how long a Luloff has been running independence for that should explain it, good run though !!
I watched that race on ImcaTv Replay. I thought to myself, jeeez that 211 lookin good! That call was wrong! On finish. Bogus Call , its all on video and transponder.
Can you guys race on asphalt
Not with this car.
Little more grip in RR and I think she will be a hotrod
Yeah the professor did an awesome job the way I look at it too they should have went back one lap not two and it should have been third place for you guys but the car looked awesome great job looking forward to the next video go get them but you all have fun be safe and take care
So it paid a thousand to win but didn’t pay back through the field?
Insert "Nuts and bolts" chant here
No surprise if it’s like here big paying to win shows drop off fast. It’s called Dolly Parton purse
Plus I see you run 101 LL aircraft fuel. Her it’s about $5 a gallon. What is it in Wisconsin?
$5.45 was the last purchase... good eye! ;-)
This was a first for us... we get paid better for a 4th at our weekly track on just a regular season night, but I understand it's different probably every where else and track to track.
Wait... Dolly Parton purse... ??? Is that because it's "all up top"??? Hahahaa!!!! That's a new one. ;-) Thanks for making me smile!
@@oldguyhobbies3236do y’all run it straight or mix marvel mystery oil with it?
Somebody get Manny a steering quickener!
We wish! They are illegal in hobbies. ;-)
Can yall run a steering quickner in the class that Manny in
No he cant
Wow
Charlie, I can tell you for sure the gentleman with the Kosiski shirt was for sure not Joe, Steve or Ed Kosiski, I could be mistaken but I believe it is their Dad Bob Kosiski, Andrews Grandpa. Bob also drove dirt late models until the mid to late 70's. 👍 Danny W
REALLY!!! Wow... that's going a couple years back! :-)
The 3 hobby’s smoking everyone are def cheating with ( dummy style) direct drives or something of the sort light flywheels f standard they have allot more then everyone else HP wise !
Powerglides with dummy converters are allowed
I feel so sorry for yalls women be it the ones who actually even have one.. Gf, Wife etc. those poor things. 🤦🏼.
Awesome job on that Sunday race. A couple of guys from our shop in NE Wisconsin were down there for work training last week. Needless to say when we saw the SLMR race was on Thursday (our last night in town) we went. Awesome track and great show by all drivers. Looking forward to catching another race there yet this year.
That was some good racing sucks to lead laps like that and then lose it on the last couple but you'll get them next time y'all have fun be safe take care
Part of it... we're still missing a bit on the setup but we're getting there!
Wow, awesome race!! Nice job, all!!
