man, your video editing skills went through the roof in like three months. Excellent work, keep it up, but please don't forget about the good old easy detailing tips :)
I've been doing time attack since I'm 25yo now 31yo using a modified Toyota 86, I'm middle class, just find deals on used parts online and do all modifications/maintenance by yourself.
At one time I thought I was an expert at rev matching/heel toe shifting and a pretty good driver. Then I attended a Porsche driving experience (first of many). Two laps in the passenger seat of a GT3 with Hurley Haywood behind the wheel taught me that I had a long way to go. It's amazing how much you can learn from an expert teacher.
This is one of my favorite teachers, even if I don't comment on Larry's channel a lot. This video is not about detailing cars, yet shows his love for cars and delivers great education for the viewers. Great editing, by the way. Larry, I wish you god luck and achievement in your racing passion.
Those of us in the HPDE community absolutely love this type of content. Great video and the content was top shelf. This is definitely on my list, thank you. Keep it coming !!!
Wow, Larry, if David Murry is one of the good guys in racing, you must be one of the good guys in TH-cam car videos. Boat loads of useful information and the most important thing is you sounded like every viewer's best friend/teacher and have our best interests in your mind. Two enthusiastic thumbs up. Keep up the great work. It is much appreciated!
Keep this segment going! I'm a novice track day driver at best and this has so much information. Not to mention, great video footage and the soundtrack of cars racing....epic!
Thanks for the review of David Murray. It's always good to get perspectives on the different groups running DEs and you're right, for the entry fee and the seat time you get, his events are a steal!
I drive at VIR atleast once a month, I have also worked with some teams very similar to who he was running with that weekend. Packages like his where everything is taken care of is about $2000 for the weekend. However at track weekends, you do not have to be a rich old man. I bring my BMW E30 which is an amazing car and can get away with spending only a few hundred a weekend. It's an amazing time and i would highly recommend it!! Whether you have a Porsche or a Honda, the slower car will help your learning. If you can drive a slow car fast, a fast car is even faster. Look up some tracks close to you and maybe i could point you or anyone in a direction as to getting started yourself!
Larry... great video as always. Your videos always give such inspiration to go out wrenching or washing which is great, so thank you. Hope to see you in New Canaan tomorrow.
Larry, these videos are making me want to move to NYC / Virginia to join in on the fun :) This production is top quality. Obviously some serious hours went into making this and I greatly appreciate the quality of the video!
Go superkarting on the same track or attend a fast track like Spa or perhaps the more "popular" N-ring, or a big track in the Us with full speed curves. That will get your blood rushing and validate "nouns" like "best tracks".
Good stuff man. I liked your segment about braking. You may have heard about iRacing. IF not look into it. it could be elemental in your ability to practice braking and lines. The sim is the best of the best, and there is a ton of technique that can be obtained. Keep up the good vids man
+kousinkoolaid - I'd be recommending Assetto Corsa; the ultimate driving simulator whereas iRacing is a better online racing experience, at least for now.
RPF 1's and Hoosier A-6's? as you were walking to the driver's meeting a quick glimpse of wheels on the ground with a crew member. you Sir, are going all in on this track stuff. drive safe.
Very cool! I like the detailing / racing combination on the channel :) I started racing karts one and a half year a ago, and I see many similarities, just on a smaller scale. It's cool to see the experience from a cars perspective though :)

Awesome vid; it really captures the track day vibe and experience! I've done lot of the tracks in the NE US and Canada, but this vid has peaked my interest in VIR. See you out there!
Fantastic video and most likely a phenomenal experience. If you do it more regularly, think about getting proper seatbelts designed for HANS devices, they have smaller shoulder straps to fit perfectly onto the HANS. Nothing for the road, though...
I wish I could do some tracks days but unfortunately here in Hawaii we don't have circuit tracks. Which sucks lol. My hellcat wouldn't do to good on a circuit but it would still be fun.
12:36 I just found out that racing shoes such as those costs upwards of $200+. The material is super thin too so the wearer could feel the pedals. It's completely ridiculous, there's $70 shoes out there with more material in it but I guess it's because race shoes aren't mass produced. :|
Man this is all awesome and everything, but I was just sitting there the whole time thinking damn that all is costing sooo much money. Did that $700 include getting the car to the track and track prep and everything?
Larry, your vids are fantastic. Thank you. I was curious what the make and model of your helmet is? I wear glasses and can't wear contacts so I need a comfortable helmet with a wide eyepiece and yours look to be a good choice.
Hi Larry! Loving your videos as always. Did you ever consider using a PC simulator to learn how to drive on a new track? iRacing offers a lot of US tracks that are laser scanned (including VIR). I think it might be beneficial - but it is an investment if you don't have a PC and a Gaming wheel. If you need any more info, send me a PM.
+AMMO NYC Hi Larry. That would be a bit difficult, since I'm a resident of Slovenia :) Not a promotor of iRacing of any sorts - just a satisfied iRacing customer and an avid simracer as we like to call ourselves.
+buri87 Hey Larry, the best thing you could do is make your gaming pc and a mid range Wheel, probably a Logitech G27, and the pc will cost 800 bucks if you want a really good pc that will last a long time! If you need hel send me a PM dude!
iRacing.com defo should look into it Larry as if anything it will teach you on learning new tracks & if you decide to race on line you could improve your race craft! Another satisfied iRacing customer ;)
This question is a little off topic but when using an agressive brake compound such as a Hawk DTC 60, is there any successful way to remove the component from the wheels after it has bonded to the surface of the paint? I've had to repaint wheels because of the severity of this problem after breaking in pads. Thanks
+AMMO NYC, i have a vry basic hatchback (Hyundai i20), I have got some strange water strains on my windshild (coz of continually driving water from the roof under which I usly park my park, Ofcourse I don't park my car thr anymore) can you suggest me how can I fix dat up. coz those stains are bothering me when I drive at night :-(
man, your video editing skills went through the roof in like three months. Excellent work, keep it up, but please don't forget about the good old easy detailing tips :)
That moment you realise you want to be part in this but your wallet reminds you it's impossible lol
*that moment lasted 15 minutes and 11 seconds. and the thought that how much Larry makes annually*

This might have been the best production of any AMMO video yet, A+
Among the best episodes of AMMO NYC!
Loved this - Way to pump out awesome content Larry!
+Doggepp Thank you!
+AMMO NYC Beautiful footage and editing! Well done!
14 hours? That's a lot of track time for $700
Larry, Im sure your heart was pumping a million MPH. glad you had fun.

Did top gear go here? hammond was in the 911 GT3/RS, Clarkson in an SLS and May in a 458?
Yep that's when Hammond was trying to pass captain slow and spun out, great episode
Awesome editing Laryry!! This video was gold!
Great job Larry, that looked like a lot of fun!
Nothing better than spending a weekend at the track having fun in your car while being surrounded by great people. Great vid Larry!
Larry... great video as always. Your videos always give such inspiration to go out wrenching or washing which is great, so thank you. Hope to see you in New Canaan tomorrow.
Larry, these videos are making me want to move to NYC / Virginia to join in on the fun :) This production is top quality. Obviously some serious hours went into making this and I greatly appreciate the quality of the video!
Thx bud
What an cool event. I love Avery's E90. Speed Sport Tuning is no joke either. They run a tight ship. More track episodes, please!
Congrats to Ryan Douthit and the Driving Sports TV team. Very handsome production and storytelling. Hope to see more.
Great vid once again... Oh and the 964!
dig the videos and the production quality, keep it going!!
4:54 THAT THING HAS A 13B? NO WAY!!
Noticed that too...
Incredible video, thanks Larry!
Love this track so much. I have only raced there 1x but I can't wait to get back there again.
Great video Larry. Love the 964. 4 seconds a lap in a weekend, thats HUGE! Congrats, thanks for sharing!
Go superkarting on the same track or attend a fast track like Spa or perhaps the more "popular" N-ring, or a big track in the Us with full speed curves. That will get your blood rushing and validate "nouns" like "best tracks".
Please keep making videos like this. I'm an avid driver myself and get great info from these segments.
@13:32, beautiful shot! $699 is cheap for just the track time you got. The coaching, a bonus!
Amazing video, Larry. The cinematics are very nice too.
Thumbs up!
Great video. Loved it. Great production.
it makes me dream when I am playing PCARS or Assetto, fantastic to be able to experience such an incredible thing.
Very nice video Larry !
Greetings from Germany,
Fabian.

Keep up the good vids man
+kousinkoolaid Thanks. I'll look into it!
+kousinkoolaid - I'd be recommending Assetto Corsa; the ultimate driving simulator whereas iRacing is a better online racing experience, at least for now.
+bongmistt I've heard of it but being that I haven't tried it I can't recommend it. Yet. ;)
+kousinkoolaid been on iracing for over 4 years now, have assetto, project cars, rfactor, iracing is the best learning tool.
agreed. I haven't been able to race in a while but it taught me a lot
RPF 1's and Hoosier A-6's? as you were walking to the driver's meeting a quick glimpse of wheels on the ground with a crew member. you Sir, are going all in on this track stuff. drive safe.
Beautiful! Such amazing production quality!
Great vid, Larry!
Awesome video!! Spencer came in clutch with that radiator! Lol. 👌🏻👌🏻
Great video, both content and production!! Loved the soundtrack and the slowmo segments!
Excellent video, Larry. Great content and advice.
I like your Puma boots. I had a red pair which which I used for karting, they where really comfortable I like them a lot.
Very nice quality video.. Keep them coming Larry! I've learned alot by watching your videos!
Very cool! I like the detailing / racing combination on the channel :)
I started racing karts one and a half year a ago, and I see many similarities, just on a smaller scale. It's cool to see the experience from a cars perspective though :)
lol a lot of the students are old men. It's because only older men have the money to afford track cars and racing instruction.
ikr. I wonder how much it is for the visit
+kidzero1943 I drive at VIR atleast once a month, I have also worked with some teams very similar to who he was running with that weekend. Packages like his where everything is taken care of is about $2000 for the weekend.

+n3rdbear buy a Miata, E30, or E36, or a Honda, and track days won't be that expensive. Otherwise, autocross is like $35 a day.
I worked at a stock car student racing program similar to this, just with stock cars obviously, and 90% of the drivers were old men.
whats wrong with old men leaning how to drive on track that have enough money?
Awesome video Larry! Bye from Italy!
Awesome vid; it really captures the track day vibe and experience! I've done lot of the tracks in the NE US and Canada, but this vid has peaked my interest in VIR. See you out there!
Fantastic video and most likely a phenomenal experience.
If you do it more regularly, think about getting proper seatbelts designed for HANS devices, they have smaller shoulder straps to fit perfectly onto the HANS. Nothing for the road, though...
Taking my stage 2 R56 MINI to the track on May 27th..such helpful info. Not going to taking a class though which kinda sucks
You should do more of these track videos also hope to see you at a track day
Really good video (again)!
Rich Piana is my favourite natural quick detailer
Great recap of your experience at the track. Thanks for sharing.
More of these videos, these are great! Thanks Larry!!
Another way to learn a track is to drive em on simulator. Iracing gat VIR, track have been scaned for best proportion result !
well done Larry!
I got all stoked watching this and went to play a couple laps on forza 6!
Amazing video. Make more of this please!!
👍🏻 You the man Larry!
Such a great video! I've never seen any other like it! clearly you're not just an auto detailer ;)
Awesome! Looks like hella fun!!
Thanks
I wish I could do some tracks days but unfortunately here in Hawaii we don't have circuit tracks. Which sucks lol. My hellcat wouldn't do to good on a circuit but it would still be fun.
I noticed, that the Porsche, you were taken out on a ride, clearly needs some compounding and polishing :D
AMMazing video Larry.
Larry, Editing was perfect! Awesome episode? Any new Detailing video coming out? Also when can we watch the Rupes factory video?
In 2 weeks :)
Awesome
Damn, that seems dope. I got to get out there.
Wow, great story telling and education on track days! I'm following like a hawk since I just recently did my first HPDE. What's next in the series?
12:36 I just found out that racing shoes such as those costs upwards of $200+. The material is super thin too so the wearer could feel the pedals. It's completely ridiculous, there's $70 shoes out there with more material in it but I guess it's because race shoes aren't mass produced. :|
Well edited video. What are your next plans with the car, as far as mods? Do you plan on upgrading to a quicker car?
Any car can be as quick as you want it, also I don't think he would sell such a sweet porsche.
+Leois12 not trying to say it's slow or not a cool car, it's awesome. I've been tracking cars for awhile and the speed big gets ya!
this is my damn dream! great video
love the track videos!
More track videos!!!
Awesome video Larry, VIR is amazing I was awestruck my first time ever at a track. What was your best lap time?
living the dream👍
Man this is all awesome and everything, but I was just sitting there the whole time thinking damn that all is costing sooo much money. Did that $700 include getting the car to the track and track prep and everything?
You need to come to Barber Motorsports park
Love your videos!! Could you go into what these events cost you?
awesome video!
Love the videos! Can you get scratches out of Dillon Optics lenses?
That was an awesome video... not that everyone has the drive or money to do all of that.
Awesome vid, how could someone thumbs down this video. a World full of A++holes
Is there anything more beautiful than this 8:24?
Larry, your vids are fantastic. Thank you. I was curious what the make and model of your helmet is? I wear glasses and can't wear contacts so I need a comfortable helmet with a wide eyepiece and yours look to be a good choice.
I wish I can practice motorsport in my youth....
hey man. i was wondering how much it cost to get that spoiler installed after you bought it? im looking for one for a cayman as well.
more please
Nice !

+AMMO NYC Iracing has a few tracks and even a RUF :)
So correct me if I’m wrong but you said you need to be an advanced driver to go there?
This question is a little off topic but when using an agressive brake compound such as a Hawk DTC 60, is there any successful way to remove the component from the wheels after it has bonded to the surface of the paint? I've had to repaint wheels because of the severity of this problem after breaking in pads. Thanks
Larry, do you use a racing sim/cockpit while at home to get a feel for the track before you go?
Prob but pretty expensive
Was this place on the uk Top Gear?
do you have anymore track videos
How come Spencer was driving in Auto? I thought pros always drive manualy.
$699? Thought sounds like an incredible value.
+AMMO NYC, i have a vry basic hatchback (Hyundai i20), I have got some strange water strains on my windshild (coz of continually driving water from the roof under which I usly park my park, Ofcourse I don't park my car thr anymore) can you suggest me how can I fix dat up. coz those stains are bothering me when I drive at night :-(
