    So glad you let him have this opportunity. Blake’s a class act. Super excited to come see him run!

    Landon, so cool of you to give Blake seat time. If you wanna be a good race car driver you gotta have that seat time. Its all about a rhythm. Everytime you get a little better. Youre a good dude Landon. And i love the shit out of these videos man.

      When are you going to get behind the wheel. I think you will do great and will use your nascar thunder 04 knowledge to good use.

    Good job by Blake tonight June 4. He was moving up great. Sorry for what ever happened to the car. Congrats on your p3 in the first forty. Did a good job keeping that 9 car behind you in the second 40 tonight.

  • @1972challenger

    I'm fascinated by the iracing to race car transition and how much it translates.

    • @mrf4speed743
      @mrf4speed743 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The sim definitely helped flatten the learning curve. Would’ve taken a lot longer to get comfortable and up to speed at this place without that additional time.

    • @JRDmotorsports
      @JRDmotorsports 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Our race team was built not that long ago after we decided iRacing wasn't enough and we wanted to go "real racing". It truly helped us hit the ground running in terms of race craft. There are tons of aspects that don't translate, but it definitely helped ease the process!

    Wish I could just get handed a ride to race. I have to buy my own ride and unfortunately had to take a break from late model racing because the price is so expensive these days!! Looking forward to getting back in one as soon as I get done with nursing school and can actual afford it again!!

      I agree on that, but we all know deep pockets gets you the rides at the next level. It’s been like that since the early 90’s. Keep up the videos I enjoy watching them, reminds me of how fun it was driving those cars. Wish my area would actually sponsor race cars again, they stopped doing that about 10 years ago. They all got tired of all the fights that happen every week at our local tracks and refuse to be apart of that circus. Good luck and win that Championship!!

    Hey Landon how much does a late model roller sell for over by you? I have a chassis but needs everything, I think it would be better to buy a roller then try and buy parts to make mine a roller unless quickchanges are pretty decent price over that way!! They want mint price for junk over here in Michigan

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a dirt tracker first and foremost. However, that being said, NOTHING sounds better than an asphalt late model, echoing off the walls and the track surface, especially when you get to that " popopop" of it bouncing off the rev limiter. If that don't get your heart beating.....

    Could someone just go into late model racing without any prior experience? There’s a late model for sale near me and I love the racing. Not taking about just buying the car and entering a race that first weekend, but buying it, working on it, taking it for test days, getting comfortable and then going racing.
    Maybe you like make a side gig of coaching?
