- Please check out my other racing videos! Several of them are as entertaining as this one, including one with over 40 lead changes and a wreck to end the race, plus it includes rear and foot cams. Thanks for watching and if you are looking for driving or race coaching hit me up at lightspeedmotorsports@outlook.com. I’ve introduced a video coaching format as well, details available and will be posted soon.
Hey subs! I think you're gonna like this one.
100MPH wreck/spin, 13 cars passed in the first lap, 25th to 1st in a deep field in 12 laps total.
Oh and some Star Wars Easter eggs if you're into that.
Props to RightThisMinute who grabbed this video and captured the essence well! www.rightthismi...
Description:
This is a 33 car field. Going into T1 on lap 1, the cars on either side of squeezed down before I could get out of the way causing a sizeable wreck. My car suffered a fair amount of cosmetic damage (still working on it) but surprisingly was drivable. After that, it was just a question of "how far back up through the field can I get?". With national champion level drivers at the front of the pack, I surprised even myself with the results.
Enjoy, and don't forget to subscribe!

Why IS all that rubber there in the inside middle????
True, true, and also "What the hell is a racing line?"
Chicane? Never heard of him.
@@Andreas-cs6wg "Chicane?!"
"Gesundheit!!"
@@Andreas-cs6wg Kind of a whishy washy fellow, this way and that sometimes, always holding things up...but he can be a lot of fun, too.
Me- expecting to skip to what I wanted to see
Me- watches the whole video
I did the same damn thing...start to finish!
so damn true :)

Fastest 23:24 Ive ever watched.
me: "hmm that looks fun, I wonder how much it would cost"
google: at least $10k per year, not including the car itself
me: "alright time to watch a different sport"
SRF is one of the cheapest forms of road racing too =\
@@casefc3s just get hired as a food delivery guy. you get paid to race around all day.
That's why they have all those sponsors painted to their cars. It helps them pay for their hobby.
@@SergeantExtreme Yeah, sponsors just drop out of the skies.
I-racing would be an option, or cheaper play station.
Okay youtube recommendations, you win this race today.
Nice 240sx on your pfp
oh that was really good one!
Great drive. Don't see many comebacks like that in spec racing. I remember watching Formula V back in the day: leaders running in a big blob the whole race, and whoever led the blob at the finish line won. May the Down Force be with you...
And this is what knowing a proper race line can do shaving seconds off the others in corners it's great to watch, made all the others look like rookies
Utter nonsense. Knowing "the line" means nothing if you can not go around a corner fast. The tactile seat of the pants and palm of the hands feel where the tires are an extension of your body is what matters. Knowing the racing line is comically simple for any competent driver. And there are lot of slow competent drivers. SCCA racing is not exactly deep talent pool.
That’s a fast Ford right there! The feeling of coming back to the front is so much better than staying in the front the whole race! ...and man, I could feel those tires fading through the screen! I hope to get to racing like that someday. I hope the work I’ve been putting in will get me there.
This is like me in Gran Turismo. Except for the catching up bit.
Yeah. Same honestly. I just ran a race where I placed 3rd and ended up getting knocked back to 12th because of a Porsche that took the inside in a very dirty manner.
@Gabe Hernandez what?
@Gabe Hernandez sim style racimg is wayyy diff to gta
I took a break from GTSport to watch this lol. Good inspiration. Maybe I'll be in an FIA race.
Is it just me, or does this bloke know what he’s doing ;)
Looks to me like his car is just much faster than the rest. It's like a v6 racing a field of 4 cylinders.
@@soulcrusher0357 read the title they are spec cars
@@fulldisc8018 I dont care what the title says, his car is clearly faster.
@@soulcrusher0357 he could've been pushing harder and not being as fuel and tire conservative
@@fulldisc8018 Yeah that's what it is.
It's been 40 years since I experienced TWS. At that time they used T3 & T4 of the big oval. Stock Sunbeam Tiger w/ 260 got to experience the draft of FOMCO Mustang. This video driver and car are AMAZING!!! Thanks for bring back GREAT memories!
This was one of the best race vids Ive ever seen............ I was fighting right there along with you, it was great............chopping them down one at a time and the text bubbles were a great touch
Thanks for sharing, made my day
The annoying thing here is, I’ve watched graphics in video games improve so drastically over the last 2 decades, I thought I was watching a video game , until I started reading through more of the comments. ......Nice driving, thanks for posting.
7 people downvoted this amazing video. Im guessing they are among the 24 people that he passed. Loved it! Fun commentary too. Encore!
15 to go... wait... 17
Someone needs to turn the AI difficulty up :) Great driving, looks like immense fun
That looks like so much fun. I've never seen this racing class before.
Yah, I really want to know how much that cars and other fees are now
Dude was taking turns like a maniac, that first turn out of the start he killed every time even with disintegrated tires and a car shaking harder than an epilepsy patient. I'm impressed
That was even more Amazing With the crash.. from P3/4 to 17/18 and up to P1..!!!!
Thank you for making us live this with you..!!!!!!
Clearly, someone punctured your ballast tank in that crash ;P. Holy cow, great race!
thats why solid ballast should be used
That was absolutely riveting to watch. The best race I've seen in a long time. I know it's an old video but I hope for the sports sake you are still racing because it's a blast to watch you. If it was like that 50% of the time I would pay money to watch that in person.
I don't know why this popped up as a suggestion to watch, but I'm so glad it did! That race was epic! Well done 😊👍
That fine line where you're close to losing it, but not quite. It's hard to maintain that for such a long period, but it's what makes a great driver rather than a good one.
Takes a lot of experience to drive just at the limit of your talent and not lose it.
Your forward focus served you well in the very impressive run. But it was your undoing in the first incident. I learnt much later than I should have, that looking sideways for potential "issues" is just as, if not more important than forwards. But this was 2014, it's now 2020. I'm sure you are more than aware of this. Great video.
imaner76 [Him n' her 76] can’t argue with any of that. In this instance I saw it happening and was lifting to back out. Unfortunately at over 100 coming off a banking while turning I couldn’t hit the brakes, and the lift didn’t back me out far enough in time.
@@Racer_X yeah, a bit of a no win situation. Still, the result and the drive was top drawer.
Great job!! car drove great after the spin :) know the track very well!!
What a comeback, that was epic mate, enjoyed every minute!
These cars oversteer a surprising amount! Makes it fun to watch, and a fun challenge to drive as well I’m sure.
Well I enjoyed watching this while munching on homemade peanut butter crackers and sipping on milk.
Nice driving and nice editing. The subtitles every now and then make it even more interesting!
I have a question though, what is the hand signal you made around the 13:53 mark, and why do racers do it(you are not the first I've seen to make gestures similar to that).🤔
Thanks again😁
CrypticGamer I was signaling to him that I wasn’t going to dive inside him on that corner. Plan was to bump draft him or pass him on front straight. Thanks for watching!!!
That was seriously entertaining to watch!! You can make that car dance. Thanks!!
We race Sprintcars in PA and idk what kind of car this is (we have ZERO pavement racing anywhere near us) but damn does this look like a fun weekend hobby! Thanks for sharing! Stay Safe
Great driving my nerd! I think the smash up at the beginning put the perfect alignment on your front end.
Epic finish dude being the back seat driver i noticed you where the only racer overtaking most impressive skills thanks for sharing.
Very impressive drive...Well done...i also like how aware the other drivers were as you came through the field...awesome to watch
Wow, what a great comeback. I watched the whole thing. It was a beautiful day for racing!
I'm on lockdown, and watching all kinds of stuff on TH-cam. It took me a while before I realized this wasn't a real race!!! But, I have to say, Im very impressed! God Bless
Great effort man to get from the back to the win.
That is one hell of race to pick off each car one by one or two in one shot.
That was awesome! Your car ... just ...seemed... to hum! ....what a machine, and a great driving too. The combination really did look smooth. That was great!
FKn A awesome......great driving and best race vid on the tube.....congratts and well deserved.....thanks for the ride along
RIP Texas World Speedway. Sucks that it was so mismanaged and now it’s gone.
RIP
Congrats you drove the wheels of the car and you play it smart every move was good. Really enjoyed, its rare I can sit through a long video 👍👍
Man, you're good. you reached down and got something else to catch the leader... Good work!
I know a lot of people call RacerX a “cheater”, but the fact is that a spec series like this is much more open than something like NASCAR. No matter what you do to level the field of any spec series, someone will figure out a way to go faster. That’s the spirit of racing: to see who’s the fastest. I bet you he spent hundreds, if not thousands, of man hours perfecting his craft. And yes, when you dial in every last drop of performance out of a chassis you *will* be faster, but that’s the whole point.
Awesome drive. Glad they didn't double yellow it for that car in the grass.
wow he is counter steering more than he is regular steering in the corners😂. those rear tires were shot!! excellent work🤙👏
Hell of a come back. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Great driving man!
Damn. That was one awesome race you ran! Worthy of my novel's air racing character Tirriss White-Shoulders, only for realz. Any time you get into a crash like that and come back to *win the race* , I don't care who you are, that's worth a peacock feather in your racing helmet. ^.^
I saw this happen near the end of the front straight. No one got hurt. Parts here and there. Great racing at TWS. I miss that track.
Love the Star Wars references. Cool video!!
Smoother driving and better racing lines than the other competitors, great driving
This is the dude who takes it way to serious at the go kart track and never shuts up about it
25 to 1 is insane. What a showcase of good driving know how
Impressive making it all the way back up through the field to win! 👍😎
EDIT- What graphics card are you running, those textures and dust effects are very realistic looking!
The AI on the other drivers was a bit poor, maybe up the difficulty level next time? 😁⚠️👍😎😯
Great racing! Amazing to see how fast the tires deteriorate...
Absolutely fantastic driving!
Thank you for that great ride along!! and great driving. I was very impressed with the tire abuse with the spin out then being able to catch the leaders made me happy that i have goodyear on my truck now:) again thank you for the video. hope to see more. only thing i can ask for at this point can ya make them run in VR? i love watching races with FPV but in VR would complete the immersion.
Isn't counter-steer a beautiful thing to watch?? Under braking and acceleration, GREAT car control drifting into and out of corners. Good stuff!!
Good drive, a lot more fun than if you had just stayed in the lead for the whole race. Good race track.
Awesome! Just incredible!! 👍👍👍
Looks like the crash worked in your favor. For most of the race, you got to breeze by the easier opponents, saving your tires more than the leaders that are likely tearing them up as they get caught up in battles. By the end of the race, it seemed that your tires were doing slightly better than your opponents, even though they were quite worn down! Great race!
F*#k'n awesome driving, one of the best race videos I've seen. Congratulations
So sad to see the track abandoned and falling apart now after so many great races there.
Just like baggin wamp rats in my T16.
FANTASTIC '''' Lovely Driver...... And Lovely Time.... Congratulation Everybody
Thanks for the ride, loved it.
I wish somebody would buy TWS and put it back into racing shape. I would love to see the big boys race here again
RawHyde Music agreed but it’s already gone. Much of it is torn down now.
@@Racer_X I know man what a shame. It's just a junk yard now.....
Had a blast watchin this one!!! LMAO!!! WAY COOL RIDE...MOTTO FOR
RACE..
LOVE TAP!!!
What type of race cars are these. I love it.
you had me on the edge of my recliner! great race
Y did yt just randomly recommend this to me now I have no idea, but that was some amazing driving
that's some good driving! Great car control. I bet those 2 that spun you, knew what was coming and wanted you gone! xD
Congratulations mate brilliant drive
Great bit of driving. Patience Grasshopper.
thats real driving. reminds me of 80s 90s f1, dont know how much hp he has tho. really dancing the steering
When everyone saw what happened and feels bad for you and gives way. Great driving btw
Man, I spent the whole video leaning into the turns in my office chair!!
Should have shown more patience on that first lap and back out a touch but what an epic comeback. Great footage. Love the track too.
That looked like a lot of fun.. Track seems challenging too.. long turns, short turns, piece of banking, shoddy pavement.. What more can you ask for?..
Where is this track?
So quick question, at about 20:00 you tried to make the pass but wasn't able to stick. That had been your bread and butter so far, drafting and then driving hard into that turn and accepting a little tire wear. Why was the 1st place able to jump back in like that? It looked like you had a huge draft advantage and drove that thing into the turn hard. Did you pop ouy of the draft too quick or something? How does a draft effect lead position directly after jumping out of the draft like that?
Great job man! Especially from that far back!
Boa noite !!!!
Cara, simplesmente inacreditável !!!!
Fantástico !!!!
Que pilotagem extraordinária !!!!
Fiquei sem palavras.
Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal.....
Abraço do Brasil.....
The force luke , use the force . (man you had me laughing and crying at the same time)
Pushing that car, I can see you feel limits. Well driven.
Catching national champs like they’re video game ai jeez
cannot imagine the IRL driving on those bumpy race tracks at over 300kmh
Looks like she was getting pretty loose there at the end. Great driving man!!!
I own the whole seat, but I only used the edge.
That was intense.
I thought the last one was bad but what a bumpy racetrack man
Unfamiliar with Spec Racer class. Seems clear there is a significant power differential to all but 2 maybe 3 cars. Disqualification in post-race inspection? Else what's equivalent about it?
brian jackson nope. All engines and transmissions are sealed and teched after the race. Down to the oil filter cars are identical. Corner exit speed, draft, and shift quickness are the main deltas. Thanks for watching!
You get a like bc you know "time to make the donuts" lol also 13 overtakes in a lap pretty damn good
Still one of the most amazing races ive ever watched. Great race mate.
Honestly, very good driving. Can't say you could have entered or exited many of the corners any better.
What an amazing race. Great stuff!
Whoever dialed in your transmission ratios was right on the nose.
Agreed... though it’s all spec :). Engines and trans are sealed up and identical.
Goodness you had to of been exhausted after that lol no down time at all, good job 👍
Wow. That was an amazing race. Well done
Great video and the comments were spot on. Great drive.
First of all, congrats for your podium finish. 2nd, those 2 cars who squeezed you seemed like team mates and serve them right. Your car has more top end power making it easy to catch up. Many of them are rookies, they brake too early into the turns. Some taking wrong lines. I like that you brake slightly early into a turn then continue full throttle during the turns which gave you quicker exiting those turns. You slip steam those buggers and slingshot out into the turns when they start to brake. Good slipstreaming. Strategy to be patient always pay as you wait for them to make mistakes especially when they see you breathing down their neck. As for some of your long high-speed turns, you could try tapping the throttle to gain even more traction from acceleration. Btw, how was your tire wear after the race? Especially the rear ones. I guess inside wear more than outside. Anyways, congrats again. Keep up the good spirit of motorsports.
What track is this race at? Brilliant comeback.
Amazing! Impressive driving skills!
Man, I watched this vid for that!!!! He called that a wreck, and then played it in slo mo.
Hell of a run!
Well done, you! I know I'm a bit late to the party, but still ... that was impressive :)
