Thank you Billy and all other drivers for doing what you do!
😂😂
Ditto 👍
No doubt. You talked about 5 mechanical things. I second that you need guts to strap into a 410. Most exciting race cars on the planet and I appreciate every one you guys and gals that do it for my entertainment. Even the ones I don't root for. Keep up the good work Billy. Love the channel.
Yeah I learned my lesson early on about buying used parts. I bought a used steering box from one of Williams Grove top drivers and he told me it was good, it was a piece of garbage. I couldn't figure out why my car was so bad till I put another driver in and he asked me how I drove this thing with this box. I sent it back to Nickel Brothers.. By the time I fixed what was wrong with it I could have bought a brand new box. From that point on I bought parts from somebody I knew really well or I bought new.. Craig Keel did our engines. He and his Dad were Class Acts. Great video.
I could be wrong but I also think a big thing in racing especially when you get to the big classes like the 410s is money in general. Building a car is expensive and you need some sort of financial stability to get into racing. A good sponsorship is always a plus
You are 💯 accurate
It’s not how fast do you want to go, it’s how fast you can afford to go, good video Billy
That a lot of it!!
Fan ahead of me asked Steve Kinser about his car.
"The car's there to hold the motor up".
Eldora King's Royal,1996 Your point number one! WillyB
hi Billy all ways good to here you talks about sprint cars and your love for the sport mate keep them coming please the man from down under
Tyre prep would be cool to hear about gooving and siping buffing and managing it over a race night. I love the videos great work
Like watching your TH-cam videos and in out y'all working on your sprint car and having some much fun doing it and hi 👋 from Lubbock Texas
Great input! We run 305 sprints here in Texas. Just can't afford 360/410 stuff.
Awesome video. Can be said that your advice can cover most forms of racing
Thanks
Five things you need to know. 1. You need more money that you can spend on your racing adventures. 2. See number one. 3. See number two. 4. See number three. 5. See number four.
😆😆it definitely helps
He said in the video there are people with lots of money. But they don't spend it wisely. On multiple cars and parts but not on the motor.
No chance I’d sit in one ☝️ NO chance!!! Scary 😦 fast looking, mad respect 🫡 to all you drivers 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
Love the content billy! I've watched Sprint car since 1977 the good old days of hanging your legs out over the bridge at Williams Grove and yes I've done that! Lol! Lynn Paxton to Keith Kaufman all time favorites! Don't miss too many races on the hill at the grove! I hope to see you guys more there this year keep up the good work!
We’ll be there some, not every week
Yeah Billy u nailed it. $$$
I dream about doing it, I’m 57 now and running out of time 😂
What’s your thoughts on starting out in a sprint car 360s? I raced motorcycles my whole life go karts, built a asphalt stock cars I have Always just wanted to drive a sprint car 😂
360 cars are fun. I have a 360 in Australia
That was great!
Speed costs money….how fast do you want to go?
Great video Billy, hello from Australia! Ever wish you could come and race at 'The Classic'?
Hello. Yeah it would be a great race to be a part of. I’d do it!!
What is the best way to become a Sprint car driver? And what class is the best to start in?
I've seen local racers try to run OK affordable engines. They end up putting more money in repairs as to buying a Good engine.
5 things you need to know.
1 they are scary as F
2 they are fast as F
3 they are expensive as F
4 they are fun as F
5 they are dangerous as F
Not so sure about the motor part. That kinda depends on the track you plan to run TBH. At a place like Lincoln particularly in the hottest part of the summer everybody is pulling power out of the motor just to get it to hook. Now reliable power you’re ABSOLUTELY right on. I’d say figure out actually what your doing with the chassis before worrying about every last pony.
I would personally swap chassis and motor.
Very good points. During time trials if you don’t time good your night is kinda over. Feature time definitely pulling power.
Funny thing you say that I’m prob not goin to make it out this year due to I’m in a waiting line for me ott to build not one but two motors for me
New motor?
The cost of any racing is high. Then you go 410 racing it's insane.
Hey Billy just found your channel and have been Bing watching some videos! Awesome stuff keeping me entertained, you should come on the “Turn2 Terribles podcast” drink some beers and tell a few stories
Heck yeah!! Thanks for watching
Never heard of that podcast. I’d give it a listen
@@billydietrich just starting out last week had Brett Strickler and Kyle Keen on and tonight at 8pm have Troy Wagaman Jr and Jayden Wolf
Could add or do a segment on safety. Everything can be replaced except the driver!
We plan to. Eventually. Thanks
Let’s go get us some of that Eldora$ Billy
That’s really cool what they are doing.
Hey well bill it's Troy your number one TH-cam fan I'd have to say something else that's important and doesn't cost you a thing....... Common sense it doesn't matter how much money you have and how new your appointment is if you go out and we won't mention any names but if you go out and think my dad has enough money oopps, sorry, I mean my team has enough money so if I drive like an idiot, reckless no one's going to respect you and worse you'll end up hurting yourself and somebody else, guys like you put the time in work your butt off for every piece of equipment you have those are the gods that in my opinion have the most common sense there's guys and there's a certain one that comes to mind right away that aren't racing anymore but when they were younger every time they would cause an accident because they had Rich parents in their daddy would come running out every time there son would cause an accident and it was always somebody else's fault there's a reason those kind get relieved of their driving duties when they go to a team outside the protection of their family's money I'm sorry strike that paragraph not trying to single anybody out but you know what I mean.
A big thanks to you and Heather and the whole team for putting your life on the line every week to entertain us
Nothing but best wishes for a safe and and fun 2023 for you guys and all the drivers out there, let's get winter over with it sucks anyway.
how important are shocks ?
Very important. That’s a whole different subject.
I totally get the reason everyone has to run a Hoosier tire. It's obviously a deal with Hoosier, the sanctioning bodies, and track promoters. Back in the 80's and 90's we ran what we wanted. I ran McCreary's in the spring, {Dad actually met Mrs. McCreary in the aviation business we had} and Goodyear's as the season progressed. Lias Tire worked with us drivers with the McCreary and treated me well. Goodyear had many outlets for getting their tires and the dealers would also work with us. Hell, at the time even Firestone had tires available to us that they were using on the CRA circuit in California that we could get if we wanted to try them? I can't help but think that the monopoly Hoosier has doesn't have anything to do with the outrageous cost of tires? American Racer is basically McCreary I'm told? But where can you run them other than non sanctioned, or limited shows like Clinton County? The only thing you didn't address in this video was "how to determine the most effective beer for after the race"? You and I know that one!!!
Shock s 👍
Haha the only form of racing I can afford is iracing. Billy when are you gonna get on there and show your fans up? Lol
Lol I don’t have Iracing. I did try it on PlayStation and was terrible 🤣
How does one aquire one of these said motors. At 50 grand a peice your average person don't have that laying around.
You can get a good motor for less than that. But you can also spend more than that .
you can also rent a motor a lot of well to do teams will rent an extra motor if they have it at the time
I was just refering to the top of the line names like Kistler and Don ott and rider Newman's. Sure they are upwards of 50k and I've seen a few on Facebook for way less. But people are still asking an arm and a leg. I have a 360 sprint car and I don't have no where near that in my motor. I would love to get a 410 and run. Maybe one day. But thanks for the videos man. Rely enjoy watching them
How many people spend too much money on a fancier than necessary toter home and giant trailer?
A lot of that going on for sure. Crazy
Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Not one mention of crew or sponsors....
There’s alot of good topics to discuss on here. We’ll get to them also
You wanna fly ya gotta buy!
