- This Episode was the Final night of the 2024 Talladega Ice Bowl. We made several changes to the Factory Stock Leaf Camaro to get it dialed in the run in the slick and it did not disappoint. But our luck ran out and we were caught in a massive wreck ending our night.

It sucked seeing you go down 😢. This was my first race ever to attend with some friends who race and watching your videos this weekend and seeing you race made it fun. Safe travels back home
Thank you for coming and I wish I could have went all the way but got dealt a bad hand there. Appreciate you watching the channel sir 😀
You did a fine job Jason. The ole car was rollin for sure. Glad yall had a good time. Thats what its all about!!
Yes sir Patrick, we were sure hungry for it.
Best race I believe I have ever seen you drive. The high side was definitely the way to go. You would think after getting close to the Top 5 of the field the drivers and driving would be better. Those 2 knuckleheads in front of you were over their heads. I went to the big races when I first started, but learned quickly it is dog eat dog and more often than not you either don't make the race or come home with a wad of scrap metal , or both. Great job.
Its true, You can get junked pretty easy at a big show when you have a lot of hungry racers.
Dadgum ole son. You gave it a show! Saw that 555 get tore up, and you had him beat in the heat, so you KNOW you'd have been up front. Racing is racing, just wish folks would wait for the last laps to get aggressive.
Get that ole girl fixed up for Rachel. She'll have a dang good hotrot for sure!
The 16 put the 555 in the wall. As did the 16 create 2-3 other wrecks.
Definitely looking forward to Rachel driving the ole girl this year
Dam. You were on the run! Sorry Lady Luck wasn’t driving with you. Great Run, Great job tuning the car in. Great video!
Thank you
Positive attitude goes a long ways . your car definitely on point . Driver was too . HAVE A GREAT 2024
💯 will be a winning year
Man, you were doing good and moving forward!!!!! Dang the bad luck but you stayed positive! Keep moving Forward!
We're going to win us a big one soon enough! It's coming this year!
Ouch! That hurt....wrong place at the wrong time. I was the Silver and Red 11. I also have a in-car if you wanna check it out! Had Fun racing with ya.
Will do sir!
Love all the leaf spring content. Nothing like that to watch in the midwest
I'm trying hard to conquer these coil cars but I will always be a leafer at heart LOL
You where there and was racing hard, man you knew it was gonna be good too, well none the less what a postive attitude I'm glad you show us couch racers how its done
I wanted that one Thomas, Thats ok though, this is our year buddy. Them W's is comin 😀
Jason you were charging hard! man you had it dialed in. So awsome you have such a good attitude about it! thats racing
Yes sir, We'll get a big race soon enough
Good job Jason. Car was definitely going forward! Bad luck.
Thank you sir
Good race man.Need more racers with your attitude. Good video
Thank you Jamie, we are sure trying 😉
Man you had a top 5 car running the middle to top. I hate you got caught up in that but its racing. Fix her back up and let Rachel have her back. Can't wait to see more street stock builds!
Yeah, Rachel been seeing the ole girl rolling and she is readybto take back over LOL
Brotha, you was hunting. Top , bottom, middle anywhere you stuck it she was hooked. You swapped lines several times to make passes and the car never looked like it couldn’t do it. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
We and her were getting along REAL GOOD 😉
I just love your vids buddy you’re always in a up spirit mood lol really goes to show when you enjoy something you really enjoy it lol
Hate to see you get taken out tho definitely had a hot rod possibly a winning car!!
I sure wanted it bad.
It's nice seeing a leafer moving to the front. You had it dialed in real nice.
Thank you Jason, We were hungry for that one!
My brother I love your videos Talladega is the track I go to it's a home track to us I can say one thing you had your car set up perfect you where on a rocket would have love to have seen you finish you where going to the front thanks for the videos
I wanted it bad 😉
I’m glad you’re not upset! I would’ve be pissed off cause you easily had a top 3 car! Hard charger!!!
yeah would have been nice to see what I could have done once I got out in clean air. I believe she would have held quite a bit more speed into the turn.
great drive Jason to bad you got caught up in someone ells wreck
Is what it is, we'll get the next one
That hot rod was definitely a rocket ship 🚀🚀
Yeah, We nailed the situation that time and were spot on
That the way it goes. We win some we loose some. But we get up and shake off the dust and get back at it.
EXACTLY 💯
You was driving that thang buddie ! Going to the front till the mishap in front of ya !!
Gona win a big one sooner or later. Its comin!
Great job! Cars was definitely rotating better and you were picking them off every lap. The 66 ran 2nd and you were every bit as good as him or better.
Thank you, we were hungry for it!
I always felt like you drove a little to defensively but this time you definitely hung it out there. Made me pucker a few times. Great run hopefully the next car will be as responsive as this one.
Yes I have been running pretty conservative in the Crush but thats because me and that damn car could not reach an agreement on how it should act.
The leafer, I know that girl and aint scared to ask her for all she'll give 😉
Thats the reason I am building a new car. I want to build a coil car that I can have that kind of confidence in.
Man I was heartbroken on that live stream watching. The car looked top tier right before that caution. Glad it’s not too awful bad and can’t wait until the real season starts.
The tires were just starting to fire off. ole girl was giving me goose bumps and I was itchin to get her out in clean air.
Wow you looked really fast . passed ton of cars great job 💯
Thanks Mike
Love your channel, will definitely recommend! Will the car you’re building replace this hot rod?
No, the new car is my next coil car to go after the wins in the Crate Racin Street Stock Series. This Camaro is Rachel's car she started learning in last year. The plan is to put her in the winners circle with it this year.
The car was working good on the top ! You ha some good speed through the corners. Always next year. 👍
I'll be back . . ..
She was for sure movin ! Them cars were in the way ! Glad the car and you are good ! Get it fixed ! 💪💪💪
Yes sir
Man I hate it that you didn’t get to finish you we’re coming to the front for sure. I guess we can be thankful you didn’t end up like that 555 though I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s junk after that one. Good job tuning and driving Jason! Your gonna get a big one I can feel it.
555 Holbrook's car whole front frame was folded upward. I will always spin a car broadside to try and save the front but in his situation he was totally screwed with no way to control his trajectory. I hate it for him.
@@DIRTRACELIFE I hated it too. It looked like it had tons of new parts on it too. I’ve junked a car before it’ll definitely make you sick.
Watched your race on Flo and they spent a few laps focused on the group you were running in as that was the best racing on the track to that point. I could see you moving up, clicking off car after car. Hated to see the crash because I had you a top five car for sure. Bad luck! It’s crowded on the way to front. Hate to see a fast car go home tore up. I’ve been too many times
We are gona win a big one soon enough, I can feel it coming.
Night and day difference. Car looked great. very racy. fantastic driving. Just NO where to go! I hate that for you. Btw.. that LR lead issue explains what I commented about the other day. I apologize for being a keyboard driver. This is a very passionate sport. I look forward to all your videos.
I was on the hunt for something I knew was wrong, that's for sure. I don't mind the feedback at all. Yes, sometimes its just a troll looking for a meal but most the time its someone like you seeing something that I am blind to in that moment and I need to hear it. And it helps so thank you!
Dam nice run you were moving. Yeah that's part of it good attitude buddy keep em coming.
We're gona win us a big one just a matter of time
She looked really good. Was that a shot in the shorts just before the wreck or did you catch the wall a little?
I bit the wall, didn't slow me down but I felt the car climb the dirt pushed up against it. Hey, gotta find them holes when your hunting the W
@@DIRTRACELIFE Good deal. That's what I thought. 👍👍
You did great keep up the good work
Thanks Mike
U had her Rollin for sure if u could have started up front I believe u would have parked her in victory lane great job on getting her dialed in 😊
Yes sir, Thank you Junior
Great run Jason ! I feel for the guy later in the race that got turned around an hit head on , you had a stout car for sure .
that was terrible :(
That was Holbrook in the 555. He is a good racer and he and I ran side by side lap after lap in the World Show at Whynot. Clean racer. I hate what he had done to him. didn't deserve that. . . .
Car looked great!
Thank you Daniel
those adj shackles have a lot of slack in them and they will move no matter how tight the u bolt is
You can say that again! that sucker moved and I mean moved big time. I was not at all expecting that.
I race a leaf spring myself! How do you get your LR to lead? I use a adjustment block on my RR and pull the RR forward or backwards. Is that the same concept you do?
I will move both the right and or left just making sure I am staying within the 108 rule book. a stock camaro is slightly over 108 so its never an issue for me.
@@DIRTRACELIFE yes we have the same rule no shorter then 108”. I was just curious if it’s just preference wether you move the LR or RR. So I assume if I move the RR back it’s the same as moving the LR forward.
Yes, but keep in mind you are changing the wheelbase overall. I have ran a half inch lead before where I would move each side a 1/4"
I really enjoyed this
Thank you!
Yeah the car was definitely moving forward looked really good up until that point but them things happen but you have a good one and take care buddy
Thanks Rick
We have a leaf spring car. How are you getting the left rear lead set?
i use a tape measure like shown there and compare the two sides.
They make ones that can be adjusted without taking them apart.Aluminum block that's threaded
Thats what I was using, you have to loosen it all up to use those then lock your U bolts back down.
What are you adjusting to get that lead is what I'm asking.
We have just regular blocks set on a pin.
Did you ever go up to a 250 on the RR? I remember you saying you were thinking about it at/after Whynot.
Yes, When I buy more springs I will likely go up
@@DIRTRACELIFE where do you get your leaf springs from?
Usually order them from Speedwaymotors, PitstopUSA, or Smileys.
Rewatching some of your old videos and i noticed something. After you kinda pinched the orange car up a lap before the wreck. Looks like he went into 3 and may have tried to spin you. If not he forgot to turn then. 14:20 mark.
Oh wow, I missed that! Looking at it zoomed in at 0.25 speed it sure looks like Barry straightened that corner out to take a shot at my left rear and just came up short and missed me LOL.
Hello Jason I am a new subscriber and was wondering what your day job is?
I am an Engineering Manager within the CNC and Automation division of a large manufacturing company.
Automated 5 axis CNCs are fun stuff 👌
I don't think that there was a car out there that didn't get some kind of damage. It sure looked like you had one of the fastest cars there. The only thing you were missing was a little luck. Dang it.
Roll of the dice bud and my number was up 😞
That class isn’t imca is it
No sir, Its a class of Stock cars that have a common set of rules across several tracks in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama
Beyond the car being really good you were making aggressive confident moves. And yeah you were robbed on this one. Def was a podium finishing car. Can’t wait to see the new SS finished
You've been seeing me running pretty conservative in the Crush but honestly thats because me and that damn car could not reach and agreement.
The leafer, I know that girl and aint scared to ask her for all she'll give 😉
Thats the reason I am building a new car. I want to build a coil car that I can have that kind of confidence in.
Come back orange car builder!!
I survived LOL
Drive a little deeper into the corner
She was rolling in and avoiding skating the tires in order to pick up the throttle quicker and get off the corner with more speed. Yes it does look slower on entry, but just keep in mind I am choosing to slow down earlier on entry in order to more than make up for it during the exit.
Damn shame.You were on a mission
I wanted it bad . .. 😀
