That is the same attitude I’d have. Some people’s glass is ALWAYS HALF EMPTY!!! And there’s nothing that’ll ever make their glass’s half full. Props to you buddy. I really enjoy your channel. If ya can’t add some humor to things and have fun then why do it. People that get so serious about everything all the time have shorter lives. If not I don’t know how. 👍
Thank you. I really enjoy my cars, even if it’s working on them. It amazes me that so many people like my channel, because I’m just a hillbilly welding stuff together in his garage. My real goal is to inspire people to work on their projects. Sometimes it’s better to just make it run than it is to make it perfect.
@@bluecollarperformance1331 I think you inspire more folks than you may realize. I’m self taught at nearly everything I do. My hard ass dad is a superb welder/ pipe fitter by trade and gave me about 2 hours of his knowledge and after that I I’d turn on a welding machine wherever I found one and since my main career choice is commercial fisherman (shrimp boat captain) there is welding needed OFTEN. So practice time is never hard to come by. I’ve never taken any of my American/ USA 🇺🇸 vehicles to anyone for repairs. Engine broke learn to rebuild, tranny broke, get a Haynes manual and rebuild it because sir I’m just an ole hillbilly also from the SC low country, specifically hell hole swamp in the Francis Marion forest. Have a good day buddy
Nice race you got beat but look what you were up against. I watched all of your pinto build videos and loved them all. I built a similar pinto out of a runabout 41 years ago but was just carbureted. Did all the work myself, engine, body and paint custom diamond stitched black interior and fully gauged dash with blacked out windows. Headers with dual 2-1/2 turbo mufflers. Loved all the looks and comments it got. You’ve inspired me to want another one. Keep up the great work and videos.
Thank you very much. I sure wasn’t embarrassed by the gap at the end. I drive that car quite a bit, and I have less than $8k in the whole build. It means a lot to me when people watch and enjoy my videos.
I have a 90 gmc sienna 1500 black with fogs and I bet I’ve spent as much time under the hood as I’ve spent in the seat and love every minute of it. I’m self taught at nearly everything I do. My dad is a top notch welder that’s laid in torpedo shoots to building badass go carts for me and my brother and never taught me to as much as strike an arch. He said if he’d tried to teach me I wouldn’t have even liked it and he knew I enjoyed learning the hard way so he would just be there when I needed help and asked him for it. Kids these days need something along those lines. Never had anything handed to me. My dad did help me put a 302 in a 79 pinto back in the late 80’s. Boy that thing was scary fun
I’m the same way man, my dad bought a Lincoln tombstone welder when I was 13, and I experimented with it while he was at work. I’m self taught at most everything I do, I’ve found the ways that work for me, and some of them are pretty unconventional. I love figuring things out, and cars have been my source of income and entertainment for most of my life.

@@captainwhiplash I really appreciate that. You sound like my kind of people. Just a good o’l country boy with a get ‘er done attitude

That was a memorable day of fun right there!
100%
The Pinto did a good job for what it is. Enjoyed your video and keep plugging away.
Thank you very much. I got gapped, but not embarrassed.

You are definitely an outstanding vehicle builder with the right view on these races. Win or lose you got to race with some cool people.
That was the whole reason I was there. Win, lose, or draw, I can always say I raced one of MSO’s cars.
Very cool. Love your little pinto as well, old school Monza guy here.
Thank you. It’s a fun little car, the build is on my channel
Heck yea! That was a proper John Force burn out too!
I like to smoke ‘em.
That’s why I’m so excited about the No Name Nationals. I’m gonna send it in the burnout pit.
@@bluecollarperformance1331 lol I don't think I'll send my pinto into the burn out pit, I cringe every time I see tire belting destroy fenders.
Very cool, nice burnout, thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for coming along. These videos wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans without people watching them.
🏁already a fan and a bigger fan now🏁
@@claybeard1157 pretty cool folks from what I saw.
going out there and running it is what its all about, track and drive brother
That’s where I’m at, I enjoy my cars, I refuse to let them own me.
Love your videos only watched a couple but looking forward to more ty, love JJ also think they are just cool ass people
@@jeremiahthompson5172 what little I visited with them would agree. Super good folks
John Force Burnout was awesome! That had to be a great Day!
I really enjoyed the whole weekend.
I also enjoy big burnouts 😃
Racing is racing. no shame in that game!
I was glad to get to race them, I didn’t mind taking an L on that one.
