Hey bud, love the content. I'm a Short time follower, big time fan lol
I have a few questions if you don't mind brother.
1. When racing and theres huge down time between rounds and your last round was sunny and now its fully dark, how much does night time effect your reaction times? Are you doing anything with the delay?
2. when racing against a door car(something with front end overhang) and you look over at the beams to pick a reference point on their car for judging the finish line. Does their foot or foot in a half front end overhang play in effect on how you'd gauge the finish line?
Thanks! keep up the great job
1. Not an easy answer for me because I’m honestly still learning how that affects me. I know back in the day before LED’s you could see the light start to come on at night on an incandescent bulb, so people were faster back then. But I think now with LED’s most people are either the same or slightly slower at night. I would say I’m slightly slower. But I don’t like subtracting delay. I usually find myself adding a few thousandths delay as the night goes on for comfort
2. Before the race I try to look at my opponents car to see what I think will trip the finish line beam and how much overhang they have. Then I look over when we are both pre-staged to get my spot (just like against a dragster) However, you have to move your spot up to account for the amount of overhang they have. For example if I’m racing a roadster and I think it has 2 feet of overhang. Then if I look over while pre-staged and I’m just behind their back tire, then I would move the spot up a couple feet and tell myself I need to be in front of their back tire.
Thanks for all your support man!
Sometimes I’m hard to follow with how my mind works 😂 But hopefully there were a few good takeaways in there!
It makes sense. Videos are awesome. Keep up the good work.
I would implement any of this in my driving. When I was consistently carrying 3-4 hundredths it was hard to drop to dead on with my hard tail car. I have been having much better luck with 1-2 hundredths
@@rjpolitowski6057Thank you!!!
@@TylerWiedI think it’s a great all around spot. And yes probably easier to be more accurate especially on the brakes
@@TheRockRacinghey rocky I was at the spring stampede and I saw you at the practice tree race so I was wondering if you could upload the runs from the stampede
Little late to this one lol but always have great videos we need some more racing day vlogs
Thanks man! Low on footage this year, but hoping to get more out. Thanks for the support
Nice video I have a question for you let’s say I think my car is going to run a 5.938 and my spot drop will kill 2 hun and a thou to 4thou are u putting a 95 or a 96 on the dial? My guess would be the 96 so your not giving up all that et thank you
Great video as always Rocky knowing your car never wasting a lap always sticking to your plan , keep making videos.
Yep always try to learn as much as possible from every lap. Thanks man I will!
Awesome video explaining some bracket racing math! 🤓 I keep saying I want to make videos like this but it’s so much harder than it looks. So thanks for taking the time and I will be sending this out to people who need to hear it! 😎💯
Yes they can be tough, probably best to just take an idea and start talking about it otherwise it could take forever lol. But thanks so much man! I do have another topic I’m thinking about doing soon so stay tuned for that!
Is it “How to beat the shot clock! 👀”? 😂
@@OvertimeRacingTV nahhhh gonna stay out of all that 😂
very very VERY impressive I have done prety well back in my day Im not racing any more nothing was this consistent then we started racing with out trans brakes The 8 inch convertor was just being developed, and no reaction times no boxs LOL that came later I had one of the first settable delay boxs with actual numbers LOL, I look forward to all your video your at the top of you game with a lot more to come.
Wow! 😮 I bet that was a fun time though. Honestly wish I could go back to see what it’s like. Thanks for your support man! Not too much longer before we get back to some racing 👍
thanks rocky I will be watching
Great information young man
Thank you!
What an awesome video. Glad to see you back btw. I used to geek out over the numbers game when I raced. Almost too much some would say. But solving the puzzle was always the fun part, if you know what I mean.
Thank you! Yea I love it it’s like chess. Constantly evolving but you can never completely solve it.
great stuff man. I almost wish you weren't telling everyone this because this is the kind of stuff that separates good from great.
I think it’s fine. If anything it might make it harder for the great racers and take them out of the race more frequently 😂 thanks man!
Thanks for sharing, such good stuff from Albuquerque landshark!!!!!!
Thank you! Think I’ve seen that car is it a shorty?
@@TheRockRacingYes This was Jeff's personal car!!!
Great video💯💯💯
Thanks! 👊
Rocky I need you to upload its been 5 months😭
@@Freels_Motorsports 😂 I got some footage finally so hopefully soon!
@@TheRockRacing YESSSSSSSSSSS your the best drag racing youtuber
Thanks for sharing Rock - makes good sense to me. Would you recommend that racers have several ways to kill a fixed amount of time to provide options or "outs" depending on how the race looks? For example, 0.02 - I can get off the gas at point A, I can hit the brakes at point B or a couple of womps at point C?
Hey man! Did my response show up for you? I’ve tried a couple times but I don’t see it on my end
Strange. I can't see your orginal response.
@@timeslipsim Dang lol idk what happened. I had said yes I agree with having multiple ways to kill it. At least 2. And like you said 2 different ways, 1 with gas and other with brakes would be good. Have to see how the race plays out to decide which one. If you feel good up front and the position looks favorable I would lean towards the gas. If you think you missed it and the position looks bad then maybe go with the brakes.
Perfect. Thanks Rock. Looking foward to yor next video. When does the season srat for you?
@@timeslipsim Just kind of whenever lol. Lots of races coming up on the schedule here soon. Only waiting on my headers to get back (chrome was peeling so they’re redoing it)
When you say don't get caught looking, do you mean at the other car?
Hey fade where you able to see my response? I had this issue with someone else who couldn’t see my reply for some reason
@@TheRockRacing Sorry Rock I did not. Was it posted here?
@@FadetoBlack1463 I guess it didn’t go through.
When I said don’t get caught looking, I meant… don’t let anything the other driver is doing effect your own plan. In the race in the video, I was watching him so much that I almost didn’t get on the brakes in time. I hit them too late and had to hit them extremely hard to barely kill enough.
Always execute the plan you brought into the race no matter what you see over there.
@@TheRockRacing Ahh I see. Understood. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing! Watching has helped me improve.
@@FadetoBlack1463 Thanks so much man good luck this season!
Great video. I’m looking for a camera to put on the top of my dragster what do you use?
It’s called an Insta360 ONE R 360 edition. GoPro also makes a 360 camera, it’s called a GoPro Max.
Have you ever messed with nitrous for the finish line?
I haven’t, trying to improve without it for now but plan on using it in the future, I think it’s a great tool.
@@TheRockRacing yea me and my dad say we gonna put it on his car all the time but we never do it but I think sometime in the future their will be some nitrous on it
@@KTaylor121I say do it, but try not to break anything 😂
@@TheRockRacing that’s my dads fear 😂😂
