My first time in a Sprint Car.

Wilmot raceway put me out by myself to hot lap the Grandstand Video 10v owned by my Nephew Matt Vandervere. I thought I did pretty good and had some speed. Then I saw the video footage...... I did have a blast and then went back to my video booth to do what I do best wich is film the guys that I have even more respect for.

Did great for your first time out man, car came back in one piece and thats what matters at the end of the day especially when its not your car.

[@JerryDGossel]

And now we ask our-self, HOW do they stand on the GAS! Con grats on the go FAST !!!!

[@tomortman4850]

Very cool. Would love to try it.

[@thefig2155]

looked fun, i could only wish to get an opportunity to do something like that one day.

[@king0cans]

That's totally cool. I'm jealous. I'm sure I can run fast laps by myself but in a pack of cars is another story. good job!

[@bobbysolo5411]

Indeed it DOES change things a LOT. For one thing, you can't hear YOUR car, above the other cars sounds all around you. It's pretty much, instruments only, other than gas peddle response. If it goes, it's running. It's also unnerving to look up the line of cars at the start and it looks like a freight train, already heading into turn 2 as you go under the flag, and realizing you have to pass them all, to win. Total inverted starts, are a true challenge.

[@bsharp3243]

I'm jealous also lol, everyone starts somewhere Joey 🤓

[@dobermanpac1064]

If racing fast was easy, everyone would be doing it....glad they let you out to see for yourself... 👍

[@TheSaldana9]

thats cool that is number 1 on my bucket list

[@TheCenturyFarmers]

You did good! I'm really relieved you didn't roll it over since it looked like your helmet was just barely above the roll cage.

[@schillingracing70jr]

Looks great love the videos

[@bigmike690smc]

I'd rather hear the motor not the music..

[@GrandstandVideo]

Hi Mike. Try this one. th-cam.com/video/1GZte9085GY/w-d-xo.html
No music. Thanks for watching

[@bigmike690smc]

dagunner Much better !! I thought you did well for your 1st time in a 410..
I would love to try one someday but at 6'8" tall I don't think I would fit real good....My buddy owns the local track and I had the chance to try a Legend a few years back....That didn't go so well, I felt like a circus clown in that little car !!
Mike

[@mr.awesomeguybro7469]

it's funny I was just at a Wilmot race 2 days ago

[@christopherwolosonowich6136]

i would.love to do something like that

[@bobbysolo5411]

You can in a number of places, in cars ranging from stock cars, super stock cars, late models and sprint cars. Not cheap, but, there's affordable rides for pretty cheap. WAY cheaper than buying or building a car. By a factor of tens , of hundreds.

[@jasonsimmons6684]

Lol I'd bet the music was added to cover the fact that he was barely on the gas. You drive those cars with that pedal on the right. You did good though. Music covering engine audio is stupid though.

[@GrandstandVideo]

Jason Simmons yeah, I was slow as a snail. That's why I am mostly behind the video camera.

[@boxblind7462]

Good for you man

[@marleneswartz8649]

Put wings on the music and let it fly to never never land !!!

[@michaelskinner8451]

Ya did good....dump the music though!!!!

[@bobbysolo5411]

The sound of a sprint car is better, especially with the subject matter being sprint cars.

[@josephpilmanphotography]

free tim vandervere!

[@jeffrogerswolff]

You did good

[@jeffomspaugh6691]

I kept waiting for them to drop the green flag

[@williamcampbell6589]

They aren't made to go slow. Lol

[@garrettp2232]

o boy if i had my chance in a sprint. i would go balls to the wall and hopefully get picked up for a full time ride

[@connorallen5681]

That's what they all say

[@garrettp2232]

i race go karts. i have the mentality of a racer. i`ve been around them my whole life. never had the chance to be in anything bigger and a kart.

[@JoyKiller7Niner]

* rolls eyes *

[@k_hoffman]

Yeah ok... easier said than done. I race a winged sprint car and its easy to sit in the stands and wonder what the hell is going on and why someone isnt "standing" on it and driving like everyone else when youre not the owner nor the driver of the car. That is why the majority of the people in the stands, never set foot in one. Takes a ton of $$ and experience.

[@Puckgrinder85]

That's why spectating these events sucks, you have no idea how fast they really go until you step into ANY race vehicle. Looking outside in gives it no justice.

[@YoungStoney-bf7fx]

Cant watch bc of the music

[@laudarevsonhunt]

me to

[@saltybildo4415]

Stick it lol

[@bretmuldner]

Ruins the video with the clown music!

[@daleolson3506]

Music sucks

[@patriciagombert4591]
