Listening to Old Man keeping his kids safe at home to party, and a million kids around 24/7 reminded me of how I did exact same to. Protect my 3. Love the channel, really different from most TH-cam B. S.. TY
Touching and truely down to earth story Mr Hoskins. I first wondered how this channel would run its course. But I'm seeing, as a man with some history under him, You'll do ok on this TH-cam thing. Don't forget. This isn't all about Billy. Consider the Prequel to your days racing also. I'm thinking this story is far from told yet. Damn fine channel so far tho.
"I never doubted him, I put everything into this, to get this kid started" Powerful stuff from a real father, for a lot of us kids that didn't have one around.
You know, I have watched every video of SRC and the SRC Garage. This one here rates right up there as one of my top favorites. Thank you for sharing these stories, hell, thank you for serving us fellow racers and gear heads with these moments of your families life. These are trying times we are all in and to have someone like yourself (and Billy) share and serve others like you have, they are golden. Eagerly awaiting for part 2 with hopes of a part 3,4,5 and on and on. Thank you!
Bill ,I love how you tell stories ,it reminds me so much of listening to my grandad years ago . You and the boys have the best channels on youtube . You can just hear how honest and sincere you feel in your heart about everything. Thanks for the awesome story and GOD BLESS YOU .
Investing in your kids is worth more than anything. I too have my kid in jrs right now. She is doing awesome and I'd spend every dollar to watch her smile and get excited.
Ol Man, my mother was the same way growing up. She'd rather us home "partying" safely, than out god knows where doing god knows what. I learned alot from those days. You a amazing man, and I look forward to learning more from you. God bless
My parents did the EXACT same thing for me when i was growing up. You definitely made their childhood great man. You are a great father and an amazing family my dude! Good on you for keeping up the grind and telling us this story
*now that was refreshing to learn that people still care about their town's well being. I have 5 boys and replaced a lot of lawn and pulled a lot of trucks out of the field, Please keep the channels going love the content and thank you for taking the time to do this
I absolutely love your videos. I love the kids as well with all the racing but this is a great channel to relax and listen to the “old man’s” stories, knowledge, and experience.
Only about 4 mins in and already feel the need to say it's awesome what you guys do as a family, the dynamic between you all, and the love that's clearly there. Good on you guys, always look forward to more from y'all. -edit Hahahahaha Billy tried for that "I was only like 12 years old." excuse and pops was having none of it!
I love the story of the truck, the constant growth, the success of the truck and the channels, and the downhome grassroots atmosphere. Keep doing your thing guys 💪🙏
The hardest job in the world is raising your children and keep them pointed in the direction in life. It’s an awesome story that so many of us can relate to and we all do all we can for our children and I applaud you for taking that leap to protect your boys. God bless you and your family Bill. Wish you all the success and happiness you all deserve 👍👍👍
Best video yet. I had tears during the stories of burnouts, nitrous purges, and broking motors. The thing I love most about your channel is how obvious the depth of the relationship you and your sons have. I hope my sone and I can meet y'all one day at an event.
i watch this every so often as i raise my boys . i am a s10 guy . the s15 was my first love . i have had 2 v8 s10 truck so far . its a love of the truck and the racing
Mr. Hoskins (old man), I have watched just about every one of yours and billys videos and i got to say that it is on honor just to watch your videos and you sir are a great man and the boys are very lucky to have you as there father. The things you do for your family and crew shows the perfect example of a loving father,husband and friend. i have recently added 1 more thing to my bucket list and that is to be able to meet all of youaand spend the day at the track. i also grew up with a wounderful father that was involved in racing cars. I also wanted to thank you for being you..
Love the videos and the channels in the family. I wish we lived closer to a drag strip when I was younger and even now. I got into circle track racing and had a fun time but going up to Sanair and seeing Top Fuel run put a dream in my head. I never got to pursue drag racing after becoming disabled at 24 years old. Thank you for the content.
Man I love your channel, it reminds me of my life in general and we always learn something, it's honest and real, entertaining, and knowledgeable. You rock old man keep up the good work sir
My father used mechanics and racing to keep me out of trouble when i was young. He is old now and i am entering my 50s soon. They are some of mine and most cherished moments. I love watching the channel and how true to life and down to earth you are.
It’s crazy how your giving me a point of view on why my parents are the way they are me and my siblings, always wandered what there attentions were 😂I’ve been into racing for almost all my life, it’s a hobby that my dad shared with us at a very young age. I’m 17 and just gotten my first motor, a lil 388 stroker, I’ve been working my ass off in school, getting good grades, finishing all my work just so I could go outside and fuck with it and do little things. All I need now is to figure out what body to put it in, can’t wait to feel it on the streets, and hopefully, one day build something like Billy’s, running in the 9’s 😂 I appreciate this video man🔥 keep up the content✊🏽
Hi Billy hi old man hi Tommy. My names Adam I'm from wichita ks I wanted to say I love your guys channels I love hearing your guys stories and watching you hang out with your dad. The stuff you put on your channels are top notch. Be safe have fun and don't grow up to fast
Great video, it's a great story, makes me think about how racing changed my life and brought me back from a dark dead end road. I look forward to the hearing more.
I have a 1992 s10 4.3 5 speed with 302,000 miles teal green. Smokes when I start it but runs like a little rocket. Planning on getting the engine rebuilt next month. Love my little green machine.
Hey old man, thanks for life advice to change my sons life. Family full of misfits and trouble, I feel confident in steering him the right way with the help of your family!
Because of my grandparents and parents I'm involved with racing. That's all my family ever did. Kept me out of trouble. My parents knew where I was and I made many many friends that I never would have ever met because of racing. Our family was involved with Midgets, Sprint cars. You did the right thing. I had many memories with my father. He passed away at 44 and never got to see me win a championship.. it's the only regret I have. Enjoy your kids and enjoy everything about racing. Memories Last a lifetime. I really enjoy your kids and your channels. And Molly she's quite the racer. Good Luck 🏁🏁🏁
Me and you are the same when it comes to our kids. Our house was the house to come to and that was the way me and my wife wanted it. We knew what they were doing and we could keep a eye on them. Great content. I’ve been binge watching all your videos. Keep up the great work.
My dad did the same thing while I grew up he kept us racing flatrack racing definitely a good story to have been able to watch. you guys are definitely good people love watching all your videos keep em coming
Wow, truth and reality on the TH-cam’s who knew. I appreciate your candor way to your channel. I love how much you love your boys. Such a great family. Thanks.
This is what i love about this channel real people with a real story its america at its best, Your one hell of a father to your kids need a hell of a lot more examples like this.
I can tell you since literly being engulfed in a gas fire in front of my son while building his truck your channel and sharing your family has been a inspiration in my desire to get my kid into his first truck to drive to school and race on the weekends. Im not sure where id personally be if not for yous taking me into your lifes. Be safe this yr. God bless you all. With love out of beardmore on Canada. Andy Cory
The thing about what I love about your channel is you All steal run the ole small blocks kicking some LS tail me and my cousin have to compete with old small block you all keep doing what you're doing I love the S10 trucks
You are an incredible father. Much like my own. Grateful for people like you that actually value life and teach their youngins to be men. Good for you Sir.
Great story teller. Honest about his boys and his parenting skills and thought process. As a father of two I can relate to being a parent and making the tough decisions. Good times, great memories. Thanks old man ;) for posting these stories.
You are alllright man. If I had kids, I would have handled the the kids like you did. But things didn’t work out for kids for me. so I enjoy my wife’s kids. You’re doing a great job! Keep it up! I enjoyed bracket racing back in the 90’s and wished I could’ve past in info to a younger gen. But am happy I got to enjoy some of the best years of my life racing and got to know some really good racers. Love all your channels! Sub to both.
You have made the S-10 a part of all of our lives and we are so grateful for you guys and thankful for you guys to show us that it can be done and keep our heads up and keep moving forward
OldMan, I know I'm way behind on this video,but it hit straight to home with me!!! I have 3 children ranging from 17 to 12, and I have my hands full. I have experienced the part of idle hands, which is the devils playground. Good stuff, old man, and I'm a big fan!!!
Much respect for allowing them to be kids and still be a parent....it was all worth it....Billy seems to be a great kid....keep up the good hard work old man
Hey guys it's definitely an iconic truck but it also took one heck of a driver a great dad and mechanic and of course Tommy always there filming you guys put a lot of Blood Sweat and sacrifice into getting Where You Are and good for you guys love that your channels are doing good and keep it going guys you guys are awesome
I live about 10 minutes from where you got that truck , you driving down the roads I've been down all those roads man. I have been watching your videos and bought a first gen s10 and I got a 9" and a zz4 350 with a street fighter trans, buttoning everything up now, wanting to race it with my dad... Definitely an inspiration to me + I saw you once in Pataskala and smelled the racing fuel and loved it!
I might get the lunati kit from Jegs and have heads ported... my uncle built it almost 20 years ago and its sat in storage since then and it gave my dad so much inspiration I had to buy it now we got a project 👌
Truly blessed I had a 85 s-10 in 2000 with a 385 got talked into selling it for 1 of my 2 boys I have..Not a day goes by I don’t miss that little truck.this video teared me up on I-20 coming home from work.
Listen man I just wanna say, Im 24 years old and lost my dad almost 10 years ago. Listenin to you talk about your boys brings a tear to my eye, knowing my dad was the same exact way! Though he didn't get me into racing, he did get me into cars and did everything he could for me, and I'll forever be greatful to him for sharing his passion with me. Just started turning his old truck into a street truck! Big single 408 is the plan. That being said, Billy and you may but heads but I can guarantee whether he shows it or not he's greatful for the things you've done for him and the bond that grew from it. Once my dads truck is done it'll be on the streets, and hopefully one day we'll end up lined up next to eachother. Keep up the great content man!
Looking at how calm and collected Billy is nowadays, you’d never think he was a wild child, but the responsibilities of a truck with that much power definitely grew him up!
@@theoldmansgarage same way with Rail cars, (trains) it’s all I know, been working at a family owned repair facility since 93’ working for your family can often times be very challenging, but when you grow up and that’s all you know, what do you do...
@@theoldmansgarage much respect for how you raised them boys, and still! I laughed so hard when Tommy said that ass chewing he got was well deserved when he was late for work lol it’ll make him a better man in the long run tho! Keep up the hard work Bill
I really love hearing the story’s of how all this got started! Also I respect that you guys still daily shit boxes instead of 70k trucks lol keep up the awesome work your a great father.
man I've been a follower since the early days of both channels. I tip my hat to you Mr. Bill, if only you could look into the future when making this video. now look how far you guys have come. down home good people and team. ohh and I'd say the kids made that addiction look damn good...lol def have some drivers on your hands. You are all awesome people. thank you for all the years of entertainment to my own family. im currently fighting the same issues with my boys. only high school has just begun. wish us luck..lol
We run a business and everyday i get to sit on the pooter and click on the newest race channel content for the day, SRC Garage is always puttin up great content almost DAILY. I can relate to your lifestyle and way of thinking as i'm also 47 and learned from the school of hard knocks.. Must be a generation thing. I like ya style mate, cool kids, who know right from wrong, they just like to make us think they don't know right from wrong..The look on your face though when Junior said he may have put it in neutral and made sure the wrist pin was done.. Farkin priceless. \m/
Love the stories. Kinda funny i come across this video a few days after i picked up an 88 S10 to build with my little boy haha. Definitely goin to video document and take tons of pics of the build.
Just had to let y'all know I am captavated by it all. I just want to tell you how much just keeping up with you and your family has made life better . I haves shared your channel with my friends and family Thank you bill for being you. I haves raised my kids the same about friends and their get togethers , I gave them a pasture to play in it kept them safe.
Listening to you tell your story it reminds me of when I was in high-school. I hung out on a farm where we ran big block modified. We built our own chassis and everything. My high-school best friend was one of the drivers and his brother the other. There was a bunch of older guys there that drank. My friends Dad let us drink as long as we stayed at the farm no driving but we would have some great parties.
Man I can relate so much with your story. My dad kept me occupied with horsepower and I am doing the same with my son. You’re 100% correct if you have a child who is a free spirit and wild as a buck. You must find a way to harness that. You have my applause man. Great job!
Not easy being a parent. Keeping our kids away from bad things yet still trying to be COOL is a fine line but..... you’ve done a great job. I too own my own paving business and share drag racing with my son. Keep up the good work. Love the channel
Awesome peek a bit deeper than 'Why we Race', but is as real as it gets. It is NOT the destination, it is the journey that counts. Being a Dad of twins and our journey in racing, this is so heart warming. I told you this platform was going to be a way to witness to many who need just this taste of reality to step beyond the confines of just existing. Your family our here is ready with open arms and applaud your humility and confidence in being yourself. That resonates more than anything. Got a kick when Billy reacted to the Trump sign and said they were on the Trump Train. You can cherish what got you here, and fondly look in the rear view mirror, but I do believe God has a plan for you much bigger than you may realize at this point. Their are Dads like myself, and kids like Billy and Tommy feeling the reality and sincerity coming our way. Thanks so much ' Old Man'. Lead on, we are right with you.
Love the story and the way you guys tell them , I enjoyed this so much , I didn't even realize I was at the end of the video and then it just stopped lol
Your such a good father you always show how much you love your family most fathers don’t deserve that title you do ! I think every father can learn from your example it’s been a real pleasure knowing you all over the channel thanx so much for including me in your lives by all your videos your channel is real and has heart you have something that most don’t !! thanks for showing me there still good morals and values in family’s today great job I feel blessed just watching your shows thanx again 😊also thanx for keeping everyone else’s kids safe aswell as your own ! Other parents should respect and thank you aswell ❤
Really cool video. No sugar coating! I was a pain in the ass when I was younger so I know what its like trying to find the right ways to spend your time and now I have kids and knowing how I was i can only hope the follow the straight and narrow with a bit of fun of course. Sometimes you need to make mistakes 1st. My chevelle is back on the road this year after some time and we also have dirt bikes and atv's. They are young but already love motorsports, hopefully it stays that way. Love the SRC channels!
We as parents try to do the best with and for our kids! You succeeded with your way of approaching it. My son said he would starve to death if he had to be a mechanic but, loves my and his rides.
Keeping the kids under your own roof is probably the best thing you can do. My best buds old man had that philosophy and it worked for us as young man and I learnt alot from him. At 37 my best bud made some bad choices and my he rest in peace. That being said he's pops helped me get to where I am today. Means alot hearing the old man did what he could for all the wild kids in the neighborhood and they appreciate it now as adults. Cheers from Toronto Canada
Listening to Old Man keeping his kids safe at home to party, and a million kids around 24/7 reminded me of how I did exact same to. Protect my 3.
Love the channel, really different from most TH-cam B. S..
TY
His channel is great
I love the real on this channel. No bull just a dad being a dad to his kids and sharing it. Also enjoy a TH-camr closer to my age. Gen X FTW
His channel is great I enjoy the information and content
Touching and truely down to earth story Mr Hoskins.
I first wondered how this channel would run its course. But I'm seeing, as a man with some history under him, You'll do ok on this TH-cam thing.

His channel is Awesome
Investing in your kids is worth more than anything. I too have my kid in jrs right now. She is doing awesome and I'd spend every dollar to watch her smile and get excited.
Honestly really like the stories, pretty cool stuff Ole Man
Come on be nice, she’s a little rough looking but it’s the look that brought me to the channel years ago.
That, and a twisted wheelie for me. Glad y’all brought her home back then.
Ol Man, my mother was the same way growing up. She'd rather us home "partying" safely, than out god knows where doing god knows what. I learned alot from those days. You a amazing man, and I look forward to learning more from you. God bless

I absolutely love your videos. I love the kids as well with all the racing but this is a great channel to relax and listen to the “old man’s” stories, knowledge, and experience.
Billy: I'm pretty sure we put it in neutral to finish it off.
Dad: You did what ?!!!
Dad's face, "priceless". Lmao 🤣
That look.....lol.
Yeah, laughing my ass off - these two should be a comedy team.
Only about 4 mins in and already feel the need to say it's awesome what you guys do as a family, the dynamic between you all, and the love that's clearly there. Good on you guys, always look forward to more from y'all. -edit Hahahahaha Billy tried for that "I was only like 12 years old." excuse and pops was having none of it!

Its a privilege and learning stuff🤭i love ear the old man stories
The hardest job in the world is raising your children and keep them pointed in the direction in life. It’s an awesome story that so many of us can relate to and we all do all we can for our children and I applaud you for taking that leap to protect your boys. God bless you and your family Bill. Wish you all the success and happiness you all deserve 👍👍👍
Man what a flashback, had to rewatch this one, been watching y’all since day one and how far y’all have become is badass to say the least!
Great story! Shows your love and dedication to your family. Glad to see someone with values.
Great video and story Bill & Billy, thank you!
There are a lot of kids who need/needed a dad like you Bill.
I love watching you guys just being real and enjoying life. Keep it up👍
Great history, v8 s10. Bringing father and son together, all a round the usa. My son loves our truck . Thanks again.
My all time favourite TH-cam vid, great to see the two Bill's relaxed and at peace with each other
Best video yet. I had tears during the stories of burnouts, nitrous purges, and broking motors.
The thing I love most about your channel is how obvious the depth of the relationship you and your sons have. I hope my sone and I can meet y'all one day at an event.

Great vid. Billy and my husband started off the same way. A man named John King was his saving grace. He always talks about him. Small world!
You are alllright man. If I had kids, I would have handled the the kids like you did. But things didn’t work out for kids for me. so I enjoy my wife’s kids. You’re doing a great job!
Keep it up! I enjoyed bracket racing back in the 90’s and wished I could’ve past in info to a younger gen. But am happy I got to enjoy some of the best years of my life racing and got to know some really good racers. Love all your channels! Sub to both.

I had a 85 s-10 in 2000 with a 385 got talked into selling it for 1 of my 2 boys I have..Not a day goes by I don’t miss that little truck.this video teared me up on I-20 coming home from work.
Listen man I just wanna say, Im 24 years old and lost my dad almost 10 years ago. Listenin to you talk about your boys brings a tear to my eye, knowing my dad was the same exact way! Though he didn't get me into racing, he did get me into cars and did everything he could for me, and I'll forever be greatful to him for sharing his passion with me. Just started turning his old truck into a street truck! Big single 408 is the plan.
That being said, Billy and you may but heads but I can guarantee whether he shows it or not he's greatful for the things you've done for him and the bond that grew from it. Once my dads truck is done it'll be on the streets, and hopefully one day we'll end up lined up next to eachother. Keep up the great content man!
Looking at how calm and collected Billy is nowadays, you’d never think he was a wild child, but the responsibilities of a truck with that much power definitely grew him up!
That, and doing excavation work with me for a few years. It’s hard work, and dangerous.
@@theoldmansgarage same way with Rail cars, (trains) it’s all I know, been working at a family owned repair facility since 93’ working for your family can often times be very challenging, but when you grow up and that’s all you know, what do you do...
@@theoldmansgarage much respect for how you raised them boys, and still! I laughed so hard when Tommy said that ass chewing he got was well deserved when he was late for work lol it’ll make him a better man in the long run tho! Keep up the hard work Bill
I really love hearing the story’s of how all this got started! Also I respect that you guys still daily shit boxes instead of 70k trucks lol keep up the awesome work your a great father.
Interesting story.thanks for bringing me along for your trip down memory lane
man I've been a follower since the early days of both channels. I tip my hat to you Mr. Bill, if only you could look into the future when making this video. now look how far you guys have come. down home good people and team. ohh and I'd say the kids made that addiction look damn good...lol def have some drivers on your hands. You are all awesome people. thank you for all the years of entertainment to my own family. im currently fighting the same issues with my boys. only high school has just begun. wish us luck..lol
We run a business and everyday i get to sit on the pooter and click on the newest race channel content for the day, SRC Garage is always puttin up great content almost DAILY. I can relate to your lifestyle and way of thinking as i'm also 47 and learned from the school of hard knocks.. Must be a generation thing. I like ya style mate, cool kids, who know right from wrong, they just like to make us think they don't know right from wrong..The look on your face though when Junior said he may have put it in neutral and made sure the wrist pin was done.. Farkin priceless. \m/
Memories like that last a lifetime. I remember the day Dad and I went and bought my 86 C10. I still have it and race it when time and money permit
Love the stories. Kinda funny i come across this video a few days after i picked up an 88 S10 to build with my little boy haha. Definitely goin to video document and take tons of pics of the build.
Just had to let y'all know I am captavated by it all.
I just want to tell you how much just keeping up with you and your family has made life better .
I haves shared your channel with my friends and family
Thank you bill for being you.
I haves raised my kids the same about friends and their get togethers , I gave them a pasture to play in it kept them safe.
Touching story of a Great Dad doing the very best he can for his sons
Listening to you tell your story it reminds me of when I was in high-school. I hung out on a farm where we ran big block modified. We built our own chassis and everything. My high-school best friend was one of the drivers and his brother the other. There was a bunch of older guys there that drank. My friends Dad let us drink as long as we stayed at the farm no driving but we would have some great parties.
You are my hero. My dad hated everything about high performance an racing. That's all i ever wanted to do. Awesome story
Man I swear on everything I love, i wish I had a father like you you growing up... man from the bottom of my heart you're one hell of a dad.
The Best old man on the internet, Sure wish mine was still here,he was a Drag racer from way back.
Man I can relate so much with your story. My dad kept me occupied with horsepower and I am doing the same with my son. You’re 100% correct if you have a child who is a free spirit and wild as a buck. You must find a way to harness that. You have my applause man. Great job!
Awesome story behind the truck and how it came to be!! Thanks for sharing guys…💯💯
Not easy being a parent. Keeping our kids away from bad things yet still trying to be COOL is a fine line but..... you’ve done a great job. I too own my own paving business and share drag racing with my son. Keep up the good work. Love the channel
This is only my second video from your channel but Your a great example for any future & current fathers. Inspiring story.
Pops can tell a story. I can listen to you all day. He is knowledgeable but is wise. Wisdom comes with age and humbleness.
Love these kind of videos, love seeing the old races too, it's cool to see yall started with just a suburban 350 and look at you now
Just like the others, I really, really enjoyed this episode of SRC Garage,Thank YOU 'ol Dad and Billy.
This is my new favorite car channel pops you’re a natural Hope you make plenty off sponsors on TH-cam so you can step up both trucks for your boys
Awesome peek a bit deeper than 'Why we Race', but is as real as it gets. It is NOT the destination, it is the journey that counts. Being a Dad of twins and our journey in racing, this is so heart warming. I told you this platform was going to be a way to witness to many who need just this taste of reality to step beyond the confines of just existing.
Your family our here is ready with open arms and applaud your humility and confidence in being yourself. That resonates more than anything.
Got a kick when Billy reacted to the Trump sign and said they were on the Trump Train. You can cherish what got you here, and fondly look in the rear view mirror, but I do believe God has a plan for you much bigger than you may realize at this point.
Their are Dads like myself, and kids like Billy and Tommy feeling the reality and sincerity coming our way.
Thanks so much ' Old Man'. Lead on, we are right with you.
Good father..my dad got me into drag racing very young age..we did alot of street racing with big block 72 Nova
Love the story and the way you guys tell them , I enjoyed this so much , I didn't even realize I was at the end of the video and then it just stopped lol
Awesome story Pops, those kids are Very lucky to have a dad like yu, God Bless....
Your such a good father you always show how much you love your family most fathers don’t deserve that title you do ! I think every father can learn from your example it’s been a real pleasure knowing you all over the channel thanx so much for including me in your lives by all your videos your channel is real and has heart you have something that most don’t !! thanks for showing me there still good morals and values in family’s today great job I feel blessed just watching your shows thanx again 😊also thanx for keeping everyone else’s kids safe aswell as your own ! Other parents should respect and thank you aswell ❤
Really cool video. No sugar coating! I was a pain in the ass when I was younger so I know what its like trying to find the right ways to spend your time and now I have kids and knowing how I was i can only hope the follow the straight and narrow with a bit of fun of course. Sometimes you need to make mistakes 1st. My chevelle is back on the road this year after some time and we also have dirt bikes and atv's. They are young but already love motorsports, hopefully it stays that way. Love the SRC channels!
We as parents try to do the best with and for our kids! You succeeded with your way of approaching it. My son said he would starve to death if he had to be a mechanic but, loves my and his rides.
Keeping the kids under your own roof is probably the best thing you can do. My best buds old man had that philosophy and it worked for us as young man and I learnt alot from him. At 37 my best bud made some bad choices and my he rest in peace. That being said he's pops helped me get to where I am today. Means alot hearing the old man did what he could for all the wild kids in the neighborhood and they appreciate it now as adults. Cheers from Toronto Canada
Bill this is truly awesome story and many of us can relate to it. So glad you are sharing with us. My lord this is 100% America rite here🇺🇸💪💪💪
