I hate you guys have bad luck. At 57 years old I never thought I would be watching a TH-cam series but I am a racer and you guys do a great job putting it together, plus you make me laugh in a good way. Stay humble guys. Great work.
I agree Roger, it's great that these guys, when a problem arises they are doing what needs to be done. Love the positive attitude from these guys. I'm almost 66 and been out of racing for 25 years. They make you feel that your at the track or shop with them. Thanks guys, best of luck to Hunt The Front.
I have been following since the beginning. Proud of all you guys on and off the track, Anyway I have not been in racing now for 35 years, so I don't know shit . . but, I know when you start making 2 H.P. per cubic inch the engine builders use camshafts that have radical opening ramps. that requires extreme valve spring seat & open pressures. ** You should back off the rockers at the end of the racing before loading the car. This will allow the valve springs to All close. If you don't as you know many valves will be off their seat . . . this allows the springs to lose pressure. When that happens the engines starts to miss at high RPM. If they become weak enough this condition causes clearance that results in your cam lobes being beaten to death, and breaking retainers, and valve stem keepers . . . . and then a valve drops into the cylinder and you may lose the block & cylinder heads ($$$$). Solution? Back the rockers off at the end of the night, and reset valve spring clearance before loading up. Yes, a pain in the ass but you will get fast at it. You can mark the damper for what cylinders you can adjust (valve closed) . . . maybe you knew all this? but I had to say something. I'm a old racer that is older than dirt, retired in Mexico :-) I look forward to your video's. ** So, valve springs & valve lash has become critical ** Good Luck :-)
Just passing along more current info from a very well credentialed dirt late model engine builder when I asked if I needed to be backing off the rockers on my own engine. He told me we don't use 1970's valve springs any more, no need to back them off
I love the adversity. Fight through it all and stick together. The world needs to watch these videos. Lessons here of more than just racing. Glad you out the past behind yas and keep moving forward. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.
Love the videos. I watch from Panama, but am originally from North Carolina. That is racing, motors are going to blow up and you will have some crashes. I enjoy watching the team work to do whatever it takes to race. Never listen to the negative unless it helps you to improve. Just keep Hunting the Front.
Sorry to hear that hope us good and hope to see us get going love watching us and I like us all doing a fine job Joseph running hard I see that one again good luck go get them
I was fortunate enough to be there when your engine blew in Charlotte. I came back to the pits rather than watching everyone else qualify and lined up with others to watch you guys pull out Betty and get her ready to go. Great job !!!!!
Yea there’s no fixing that motor! Hate charlotte didn’t go so well but things happen and y’all keep on going and that’s what u have to do! It was so cool to see y’all in person and fun to talk to y’all at charlotte that Saturday! Y’all are truely who u are on the videos! Great guys! Proud to be a fan of y’all’s! Go Hunt the Front!!
Thank for bringing the behind the curtain angle to fans (and the great production value - well done!) if I hit the lottery, I'll sponsor you all :) Looking forward to Eldora!
Hate to see bad luck but you guys truly fight threw it. Great job getting the back up out dale won't let you down. I hope you guys get a new piece that have the power to run at Eldora to show the talent of Joesph. Be safe ✌️ 🙏
I recall a nighttime photo at the start line at a drag strip looking at the right side of a Fiat Topolino Fuel Altered. Yeah, probably 50 years ago. The driver is looking down at the track. Then I recognized what he was looking at- the crankshaft, con rods, and pistons were laying on the asphalt!
Glad to see you guys are in relatively good spirits after that tough series. We had an engine blow when we were road racing (IMSA), and we just told everyone we needed to breathe the engine a bit more, so we added another hole in the block ! The funny part was some people actually believed it !!!!
Get a AN to Barb fitting, use garden hose with end cut off and attach to barb fitting, flush lines in both directions, then blow out both directions with air hose. They'll then be good to reuse......Good luck boys !!
The Hunt the Front Race team works very hard and sticking together when times are tough. Their luck will change to the good soon and they deserve better. Best of luck Hunt the Front you guys are Awesome
Afraid of that. Worst one I ever blew up all I got off of it was the intake and the water pump. When we pulled the intake off you could see the floor. Money will fix it BUT at this level there are more zeros involved. Good luck on your next power plant. Sounds like yall have got some news that must be good. Hang in there guys, Better days are just ahead
I’ve blown up race motor only thing usable after it let go was the carburetor and intake. It didn’t even put out the smoke yours did. But the hole side of the block was gone.
It's sad to see a engine that looks like that but it happens and you guys will over come this site back and I love your content so keep it coming love to all of you guys
Come to Lancaster Motor Speedway one of the best tracks in the south with high banked turns. Blue Ridge Outlaws race there and it's awesome. Less than an hour south of Charlotte. It's a well run track and the owners know how to run a race track. Very professionally run.
Even if the block is junk, and you have to source another block. Aside from any internal parts that obviously cannot be repaired. All of the engine parts are repairable; either by welding up and machining parts such as crankshaft, or heads. Although the question is cost, and whether or not you could source the parts needed. However, anything can be fixed and reused. It is just the question is that the most feasible way to go. Or is cutting your losses on that engine and going a different direction the way you want to go. Plus would you feel confident in the repair job; even though that is the advantage of running an aluminium block, and heads. As well as a steel, or Billet crankshaft. I've even seen CNC cams that have been welded back together and machined back to like new again. (Which is the advantage of have worked for drag racer, as well as spending a lot of time around machine shops when I was younger.)
Makes me feel bad the motor let go. I do hope you can figure out how to run up front with a new motor and transmission set up. You need the good finishes.
@@thomasgray2184 You guys have obviously never seen one of theses motors blow up like there's did. If you could find some one to take the time and fix the block and re heat treat it you still have early 2000's obsolete SB2 block. Everything in those motors is special order. You would spend enough to buy a Clements Wide Bore motor and the repaired motor would still make less than 900hp.
It has been a tough year for you guys any way that you look at it. The way you guys stay positive and just keep rolling with the punches, is what sets good teams apart from others. I still think you guys should step back and take a look at where you may be in need of some help. Whether it may be a crew chief, engine program, or talking to Marshall. Something is missing. I hope you guys figure it out soon. Best wishes and Good Luck!
Brother blew his motor to last weekend to good thing open motor modifieds ain’t as bad as open motor late models. God bless y’all’s pockets 😂 much love HTF boys ❤️
Pump failed. Had this issue 2times when we switched to power steering and fuel on back of dry sump pump. Motor did not have a failure. Pump did and caused the motor to blow. Went back to CV pump on block for fuel never had a issue again.
I guess I got the two super cars mixed up. Cause I thought y'all had blown up the Dale car. Man that motor is trashed. At least you didn't part of a valve under the carburetor. One good thing though, at least you can check the oil easier. As we would have said, it's a boat anchor! Oh, Penton dirt track has opened back up. So at least I have a place to sneak off to now. I also want to say that before I started watching y'all, I kinda missed the rumble of a good tuned motor. What I didn't expect, lie!, is after hearing one run again I am hooked once more to dirt track racing. The only kind there is. Stay safe!
They turn there motors around 8400 that's conservative at best It's not the oil pump there bullet proof rarely do you see a oil pump fail. The pump locked up because of foreign matter in it. That doesn't mean the oiling wasn't a issue tho...They do use Rottella oil.
@@gailtaylor1636 It seem there is always a back and and forth with you which I grow tired of. So one of use needs to revisit some videos. So since your the one questioning my statement go to the video were you see this 8800 to 9200 and play the video to the point when you hear that particular comment. Then pause the video and copy the time stamp (example 5:10 stamp) and reply with a new comment below this one. Then IF you can provide alternative information I'll be the first one to admit I'm wrong. Fair enough ?
@@rodtedrow7315 Nothing against Draime he's a pioneer of the sport. At this current time in DL racing he's not the one you need to talk to about a motor or carb. Now maybe you talk to Glen or Tony Clements or Jack Cornett about a motor.

I really like these guys they’re an awesome group…. Great content great action…. But it would be nice to get a response every now and then from one of the guys.
Guys hate to see that big hole in the engine. But that does happen sometimes unfortunately. But just like you said you have a plan. Hope everything goes accordingly. Hope to see yall sometimes again down the road. Keep on plugging. Thinks will get better.
Was it ever said what happened to the brand new create motor that died in its first race day? I guess that was like a year ago or more, at the old shop.
Wow that really stinks when you see a big hole in the oil pan oh yeah it's happened to me a few times that's part of it I guess thanks for sharing this one with me
As i was watching the race at bristol it sounded like the car was loosing traction an over reving the engine as joe was comming out of the corners. Can you add more spring pressure in the rr of the car of maby a little more gear?
I remember my uncles always saying a motor runs really well right before it blows up… interesting to see what caused it to quit, wonder if the new carb, oil pump or fuel pump had anything to do with it. Hopefully someone’s got something a lil better than the draine and used but not used up for sale..
@@jason5044 yes I know it they run a dry sump system but they had a problem with something on there's a couple of weeks ago the fuel pump oil pump and power steering run together I I was just wondering if something went wrong and it quit oiling it definitely quit oiling just wondering why I'm not a mechanic by no means but I try to learn all I can about racecars
Well you might have blown a motor but BOTH cars pretty much don't have a scratch on them. That's something to be thankful for. Hopefully your big sponsor will step up and get you a NEW to you piece to put in the hole.
Anyone have any tips for troubleshooting a Sweet Manufacturing 6:1 steering box, as of now our steering wheel gets ridiculously heavy when one tries to countersteer in the corners
kind of looks like the pump locked then the rods exited the chat. any ways love you guys and love the content. ps would like to see what the mains & rods look like
Who is tuning the engines for the different tracks? need to look at more than oil & fuel pressure. Reading plugs? looks like the SB2 spun a bearing then kicked the rod out of the side of the block. that's why there are tons of glitter/bearing material in everything.
it's not the oil pump there bullet proof the Pump locked up because of foreign matter that's doesn't mean the oil wasn't a issue...They do use Rottella oil
@@JJ-1-1 🤣😂🤣😂 A few of my friends in WI that race LMs have already had oil pump failures over the years!! Nothing mechanical or that has moving parts is bulletproof!! Thanks anyways
Everyone saying find a different builder keeps forgetting that racetech doesn't build these engines they refresh them. There is no telling how many laps or revolutions we're on the crank and rods. I don't believe racetech is the issue.
I see you guys always use coolent do you ever use water wetter with distilled water.in my late model engine I run 10 to 15 degrees cooler than using coolent.
Race Tech builds Crate engines for the most part HTF allowed him to freshen up there super motor. Race Tech doesn't build or sale Super engines...Bad Idea. And right now new motors are 50K +

It didn't just blow up. It exploded! Like ya'll said, it's not if but when.
Well you might have blown a motor but BOTH cars pretty much don't have a scratch on them. That's something to be thankful for. Hopefully your big sponsor will step up and get you a NEW to you piece to put in the hole.
You always come through we a remedy, keep up the good work and GO HTF
Anyone have any tips for troubleshooting a Sweet Manufacturing 6:1 steering box, as of now our steering wheel gets ridiculously heavy when one tries to countersteer in the corners
Are you guys still go cart racing
kind of looks like the pump locked then the rods exited the chat. any ways love you guys and love the content. ps would like to see what the mains & rods look like
Man Guys I know it race but I hate to see that happen to you guys let hope that better day are coming for HTF
Who is tuning the engines for the different tracks? need to look at more than oil & fuel pressure. Reading plugs?
looks like the SB2 spun a bearing then kicked the rod out of the side of the block. that's why there are tons of glitter/bearing material in everything.
You don't change fuel pressure on the super bowl carb
What kind of bike is that?
Was it an oil pump failure that caused all this?!? It's possible!
it's not the oil pump there bullet proof the Pump locked up because of foreign matter that's doesn't mean the oil wasn't a issue...They do use Rottella oil
@@JJ-1-1 🤣😂🤣😂 A few of my friends in WI that race LMs have already had oil pump failures over the years!! Nothing mechanical or that has moving parts is bulletproof!! Thanks anyways
I think I know what faithful’s problem is, she is out of gas. LOL , best of luck on your next adventure. Let’s go HTF
Everyone saying find a different builder keeps forgetting that racetech doesn't build these engines they refresh them. There is no telling how many laps or revolutions we're on the crank and rods. I don't believe racetech is the issue.
That was the first super motor they worked on.
You can tell Jesse used to do plumbing work!! He actually knows which way the channel locs face when using them!!!
You have another motor for that car in the meantime, right? What’s the differences in the CI of the engines for the different classes you run?
Supers are unlimited. The crate motors are sealed motors
I see you guys always use coolent do you ever use water wetter with distilled water.in my late model engine I run 10 to 15 degrees cooler than using coolent.
Also what does a brand new engine like the Racetek engine cost? Just curious.
Brand new super late motors are anywhere from $40k on up if I’m not mistaken. The sky is the limit
Race Tech builds Crate engines for the most part HTF allowed him to freshen up there super motor. Race Tech doesn't build or sale Super engines...Bad Idea. And right now new motors are 50K +
@@JJ-1-12005 World 100 winner was powered by what engine?
@@vernsimmons945 Not sure it matters. I can't tell you what I had for lunch yesterday. So yea I'm sure you have a "got cha" answer I couldn't give 2 shits about 2005 and hell I was there ( I think). Now if you want to chat about maybe from 2017 ( when I started going to the world again) then I might play your little trivia game. Vern you are never ever going to get over on me you haven't yet nor well you.This weak reply is a prime example of you being a utter complete failure.
I am interested to hear myself I see it was Mac daddy that won I know way back in the day the Draime engines were a major player
