    So this will be like a $100k car. Not mad! Edit: I love how Cleet is the tide that lifts all boats. Every friend he promotes, he generously plugs their channels, gives them air time, lets them play and film at his race track, and I've noticed he will give a little time for others to post their videos first from an event that he puts on before his own videos. Class act, and I truly believe the best thing to happen to motorsports in a long long time.

      Kevin is a Holly certified guy, and the car is going to run a Holly ECU, but his build knowledge is amazing. Small stuff like coolant temp and pressure sensor in one makes Kevin one of the best choices for this build. Small stuff like that.
      Jeremy is great with the GM factory computer stuff. Also, Jeremy is busy running his own channel and building his own cars.

  • @CarlosRivera-lv3uc
    @CarlosRivera-lv3uc 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    We do course racing in our family, specifically me Dad, and we are all pit, body and what not. But he has a sheet were he enters barometric, temp, humidity, etc. After a race we even measure each tire, outer, middle and inner portion of the slick, its temp. EGTs during the race. Pre and Post race air pressure. He was an accountant before retirement and is all about his numbers. A good driver still has to deal with the conditions of the world, cool to see Kevin is all about that. I remember at Moroso I went with my pops and I asked a lot of questions about the track, was my first time there, and gave him a suggestion about tire pressures. Few laps into his first outing, he had removed 3 seconds from his personal best there and the weekend got better from there. Sometimes racing is nerdy and sometimes it is you and the machine becoming more than there separate selves.
