This is AWESOME. Great Job Rachel... Seat time is Key... I promise. Learn how the car feel's. Adjust it way out of line. Drive it... Adjust back in line. Know what you as a driver like. You style maybe different then the next guys. But Seat time.. is priceless.
Thank you Johnny, Rachel and Kim have been my pit crew for years and I figured Rachel had absorbed a lot of knowledge over the years. We're putting it into action now.
My first time racing was a bust! The second night my father told to send it as hard as you can if you wreck the car you can always get a new one. 3rd night I was running 5 top lol Sometimes you gotta send it lol
Thanks Robert, You better be pretty small to fit how we have Rachel set up if you're next because I can't even start to think about getting in the car now.
Awesome job 👍. With everything you have to remember and learn don’t forget the most important thing,,, HAVE FUN!! Jason I wish I would have had someone teach me how to drive, good on you for devoting so much time to teaching all of us.
You know I love to race myself, but there is something really cool about seein that grin on your kids face when they are doing something like this and doing it right. But she ain't retired me yet!
Everyone has to start somewhere. I've hung bodys and done all the setups while my cousin got to race the late model, then one night we're at the track he said I could go pack it in come back in it was hot lap time he said I could go for it the ultimate rush I had on dirt the other was the dragbikes I've raced over the years. Go gettem girl you can do it.👍🇺🇸🤙🇺🇸
Did real good! I was told years ago that has always stuck with me. Go out there and build up your speed and push your self each lap until you spin out then you back up a lap before you spun and that is where you need to be.
Rachel looked good for her first time on the track. Seat time is key. I am there myself. Getting back to racing after not racing for 20 years. Good luck.
Very Impressive! Much better then I would have done on my first time on the track. I would have been into that wall. I liked Rachels track etiquette when the car in front of her spun out she gave them the space they needed. Nice. Cheers from Motown.
She looked pretty good out there for never being on a racetrack she did an excellent job you know as well as I do seat time the Morrissey time she gets the better she's going to get but great job in spinning out I don't care who you are I've seen guys that have been racing for 15 years that still spin out but again great job looking forward to seeing some more videos hope you had fun but y'all be safe take care
Very impressive!! To go from not ever driving to turning Semi-consistent laps!! Seems like a little more side bite/drive may be all she needs because it just seems to tail out just before picking up the throttle again!! Super impressive!!
I think putting her on a track with some grip would dang sure help. I think the car does need a bit of work center off but that track was so dry and didn't build any rubber at all so I am still studying on it. Looks like it needs a bit more bite in the left rear and I think the right side needs to be lowered.
Hell Yeah I Agree. Very good job. We will be renting our local track soon to make some laps with my son. Same Sceniro!! Jason come down here and coach him. Lol
She’s doing really good! She is looking really comfortable in the car. Speed will come in time/experience, good job! You would also be surprised what a 1/2 buried car tire will do to a race car body! Don’t fret over that.
@@DIRTRACELIFE yeah, the tires always make for a bad week of body work and parts replacement. But excited to see her progress, hope she keeps her cool around other cars and has fun. I’ll be cheering her on! She will have a fan in the Camden stands when I can make it.
I just subbed 😁 another girl on the track,I race street stock's,My sister supper late models, and my 2 brothers run super late models my husband runs outlaw sprints,If you are getting into racing my husband said to give you this ROCKET chassis we have I was going to try it but I like street stock's it's yours if you want it
Hey Lisa! I appreciate the offer for sure. I think I need to learn and get a lot more comfortable with factory stock before I get up there with those fast cars. We movin’ but we not movin’ that fast. 😆 That’s awesome that the entire family race. Good luck this season!
I think Rachel did great for the first time on a track. It takes a lot of seat time to get going forward. Hope she gets opportunity to take on more practice laps. Rachel also seems to listen, and take advice and better herself. Good Luck.
We are all super happy with how she did. It's possible we might get to go to one more practice at a different track next Saturday if the weather is good.
It was sure slick but that's great learning experience. She get's on a real live hooked up tacky track and it's gona be like "Holy smokes, We are MOVIN"
Rachel, I think You held a real good wheel. Meaning You weren’t sawing the wheel. This a very common rookie tendency. I’m glad the ole Camaro didn’t sell . I’m enjoying watching your progress and looking forward to seeing You grow as a racer. I think Ya made Poppa Duke proud.
Sweet job you will find your comfort zone you'll just need to learn the limits of your particular car and set up. The first time I drove my leaf spring camaro I planned on following in the back that didn't last through 1&2 I was starting to pass. It's hard to win but wins will come with determination proper adjustments and the comfort between you and your car. And respectfully earn and command respect good luck one more thing I hear other drivers occasionally worried about wrecking and yes it will happen but in your heart know that your not wrecking it will help your confidence and driving. Good luck thanks for all of the content I've definitely learned some stuff heart California dirt racer #09 street stock Douglas weeks Dimond mountain speedway 🤟🏁🇺🇲#09
She's doing a Hell of A Lot better than I did my 1st time!! 1st Hot Lap(s) ever, I went out on track from Turn #2 went around Turns #3 n #4 then exited track on Turn #1. I Didnt evn do a Full lap lol
She did a great job. Maybe keep them thumbs up on the edge of the steering wheel instead of inside. First time that wheel jerks and that spoke meets your thumb ya aint going to be happy. Listen to Jason. He's feeding you good info.
Rachel said that as well. I should have asked Wesley to get back out there and lead some laps for her. He had a blistering fast CRUSA street stock that day.
@@DIRTRACELIFE they changed it to April the 2nd so I’m gonna go to the new track in Corbin ky and race for my first time ever, wish me luck lol. But hope to see y’all sometimes at one of those tracks
Very nice driving looked a whole lot better than me my first time on a race track very good car and throttle control and a very good teacher as well hopefully see you in victory lane with that car or your own car in the near future if it hasn't happened already
Remarkable job to Rachel! I hope I can get an opportunity like this. I’ve been glued to iRacing too darn long and I’m trying to save up for a UMP Modified or a Pro Late Model.
Those UMP mods are the stuff! Rachel's sure progressing now and I can see she is getting the knack for it now. Go get the modified and get in there with them 😉
The Camaro is classed as a Factory Stock. Basically a full frame and stock type / placement suspension but they allow aftermarket noses and body panels.
Yes, especially on a dry track like this one was. If a track is perfectly tacky you can end up not trailing any brake at all but under most conditions, in order to get the car to roll into the corner instead of slide, it takes brake.
It was there for just a little while early but it left really quick. Which that's good though because I really want Rachel to feel what it's like to ride that edge of out of control in the slick. You get comfortable there, you are good to go on all of it then!!
Good job Rachel......very impressive for first time on track!!!
Thank you Mr. Video!
Rachel wears "hot shoes "great job ,and what a coach,great job guys
Thanks Mr Bill,We're trying 😀
You got a good teacher... Good job
Thank you Steven, I think Rachel has the bug now 😀
I'm hoping the bug of slinging dirt.
Good job Rachel
Thank you Gus!
Looking good for a new driver, think you have something there Jason
Now we have to get her out there in a real race and see how she does. Gona be scary, but no doubt Rachel is all in for it.
This is AWESOME. Great Job Rachel... Seat time is Key... I promise. Learn how the car feel's. Adjust it way out of line. Drive it... Adjust back in line. Know what you as a driver like. You style maybe different then the next guys. But Seat time.. is priceless.
Great advice Shawn, thank you
She did very good for first time an had an awesome coach to
Thank you Johnny, Rachel and Kim have been my pit crew for years and I figured Rachel had absorbed a lot of knowledge over the years. We're putting it into action now.
Dirt racing is hard ! Being alone on a track then adding people is a whole different ball game ! Great job !
Good Point
My first time racing was a bust! The second night my father told to send it as hard as you can if you wreck the car you can always get a new one. 3rd night I was running 5 top lol Sometimes you gotta send it lol
Just send it works sometimes but boy oh boy ya gotta be brave and have a little luck on your side too!
Rachel you did great job and it always helps when you get to drive a beautiful car like that.
Thanks Michael, They always look better from a distance though!
Great job Rachel. Keep at it. You have a great teacher.
Thank you sir
She did awesome! Good job!!
Thank you Chris
I enjoyed the Camaro videos glad you got to keep it exited to watch Rachel grow!
I think she'll be great but boy oh boy it's a long learning curve. Glad I kept the Camaro too. I love that car 😀
Good day first time on the track, I'm next😂😂
Thanks Robert, You better be pretty small to fit how we have Rachel set up if you're next because I can't even start to think about getting in the car now.
Awesome job 👍. With everything you have to remember and learn don’t forget the most important thing,,, HAVE FUN!!

Thank you Bart, more seat time is 100% needed!
Everyone has to start somewhere. I've hung bodys and done all the setups while my cousin got to race the late model, then one night we're at the track he said I could go pack it in come back in it was hot lap time he said I could go for it the ultimate rush I had on dirt the other was the dragbikes I've raced over the years. Go gettem girl you can do it.👍🇺🇸🤙🇺🇸
Man O man, that's a lot of trust they put in you which means you were definitely earning your keep helping that team!
Best if luck to you. Keep diggin and UT will come to you. Your learning quucj. ✌✌
Thank you Don, very appreciated!
Did real good! I was told years ago that has always stuck with me. Go out there and build up your speed and push your self each lap until you spin out then you back up a lap before you spun and that is where you need to be.
That's a very good process and good advice Rico. Thank you
Great first laps! Well done Rachel you'll do great the bugs definitely in your system now!
Oh yeah, She's got the bug for sure :)
Rachel is a SPONGE!!! Great teaching paired with great execution. She's gonna be a contender one day! Keep it up.
Thanks, I hope so too.
Your doing good for the first time out it just takes practice go out there and have fun girl
Thanks Robbie.
Rachel, you did great! Keep it up. It’s all about seat time and learning every time your out in the track. ALWAYS have fun!❤️
Thank you Mr Steve
@@DIRTRACELIFE you’re welcome!
She looked really good and the car was great. I wished I could get my car to get around that smoothed.
I love that ole leaf car. It's smooth as butter. I hope it serves her well when she gets it up in amongst them racing!
Rachel looked good for her first time on the track. Seat time is key. I am there myself. Getting back to racing after not racing for 20 years. Good luck.
Glad to hear you're climbing back in the seat. After 20 years out though I bet you will be a much more technical driver now.
Very Impressive! Much better then I would have done on my first time on the track. I would have been into that wall. I liked Rachels track etiquette when the car in front of her spun out she gave them the space they needed. Nice. Cheers from Motown.
Thank you Robert, Looks like we're off to a good start at least!
She looked pretty good out there for never being on a racetrack she did an excellent job you know as well as I do seat time the Morrissey time she gets the better she's going to get but great job in spinning out I don't care who you are I've seen guys that have been racing for 15 years that still spin out but again great job looking forward to seeing some more videos hope you had fun but y'all be safe take care
Thank you Rick, We're hoping we might get in one more practice if the weather is good this next Saturday at a different track.
Shoot I definitely think she will figure it out. Looked better than a lot guys their first time out.
We were super happy with how Rachel did her first time out. It's going to take a while but we really think she is going to have the knack for it.

Unreal how fast you picked that!! So proud of you. Be so grateful that you have a great mentor to help you! Good run girl!!
Thank you so much Mr Darrell.
Hell Yeah I Agree. Very good job. We will be renting our local track soon to make some laps with my son. Same Sceniro!! Jason come down here and coach him. Lol
Looking real solid out there! Keep up the throttle and Wheel work and you'll be up there with em in no time!
Thank you, Focusing on rolling through the corner as fast as possible from day one!
Great job
Thank you Eric!
She’s doing really good! She is looking really comfortable in the car. Speed will come in time/experience, good job!
You would also be surprised what a 1/2 buried car tire will do to a race car body!
Don’t fret over that.
She was really smooth but still a ways to go. And those tires are . . . ugh, like 1000 lbs each SMH
@@DIRTRACELIFE yeah, the tires always make for a bad week of body work and parts replacement.

Rachel u did an amazing job PaPa Duke has a Wheel Lady on his hands I do believe
We think she's got the knack for it!
It is awesome seeing the progression. The track wasnt an easy to practice but you did really well
It was sure slick but that's great learning experience. She get's on a real live hooked up tacky track and it's gona be like "Holy smokes, We are MOVIN"
@DIRT RACE LIFE I completely agree. Awesome progress!! Love the channel!!!
Rachel, I think You held a real good wheel.
Meaning You weren’t sawing the wheel. This a very common rookie tendency.
I’m glad the ole Camaro didn’t sell .
I’m enjoying watching your progress and looking forward to seeing You grow as a racer.

Wise words Doug and much appreciated here.

It's a tough learning curve for sure
She did a great job. Maybe keep them thumbs up on the edge of the steering wheel instead of inside. First time that wheel jerks and that spoke meets your thumb ya aint going to be happy. Listen to Jason. He's feeding you good info.
It's on the top of the list. I didn't realize it and then someone else commented it below as well. Oh yeah, broke thumbs would not be cool.
DID GOOD FOR FIRST TIME DRIVING
Thanks Carolina!
She looked really good. But once you made the chassis adjustment, and she had another car out there that she could focus on, she really improved!
Rachel said that as well. I should have asked Wesley to get back out there and lead some laps for her. He had a blistering fast CRUSA street stock that day.
Good stuff Rachel
Thank you
Come to lake Cumberland in ky on April the first for some practice laps
We hope to get up there one day but we can't make you guys opening April 1st :)

Remarkable job to Rachel! I hope I can get an opportunity like this. I’ve been glued to iRacing too darn long and I’m trying to save up for a UMP Modified or a Pro Late Model.
Those UMP mods are the stuff! Rachel's sure progressing now and I can see she is getting the knack for it now.
Go get the modified and get in there with them 😉
Looked very good. But need to keep those thumbs out of the center of the wheel.
I didn't even notice. We gotta warn her about that! Seriously will break your thumbs. . .
is this a superlate model or what class. very cool hang in there
The Camaro is classed as a Factory Stock. Basically a full frame and stock type / placement suspension but they allow aftermarket noses and body panels.
Do you really have to use the brake pedal in a Street Stock? It's been a few years since I drove a SS.
Yes, especially on a dry track like this one was. If a track is perfectly tacky you can end up not trailing any brake at all but under most conditions, in order to get the car to roll into the corner instead of slide, it takes brake.
Ten minutes of fun 300 bucks in repair....
Sounds like you been there too James! :)
Track just wasn’t there car was to loose
It was there for just a little while early but it left really quick. Which that's good though because I really want Rachel to feel what it's like to ride that edge of out of control in the slick. You get comfortable there, you are good to go on all of it then!!
