All this information is exactly right, I'm 71 and have used the same technique. Last time out I had a .000, then a .002 and a .004 beat all three faster cars .
New sticker for the truck, an axe because Billy The Kid Always Chops Down the Tree! You certainly have a reputation that precedes you when you show up at a track, and it's a very hard earned rep! Keep it up, thanks for the little peek behind the scenes!
Hey this the first time I have figured out how to comment and Wow I live your channel I've been watching since you started I'm so proud of Yous as in your old man and you Billy and Tommy im from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 and have a drag race bike that runs 9 seconds but i also have a back halfed 1980 trans am that i need to finish you guys are awesome I greatly appreciate your content
Everything he said is very true.... Especially when it comes to having a rep for reaction.... When I first started racing.... If I lined up beside of someone that I knew would knock down the tree, consistently, I would take some out of my box to try to get a low "Double O" light when generally I would have my box set up for a .010 light.... Also try not to every get in the habit of using your bump up or down buttons because your anxiety will make you second-think yourself everytime you stage... Great video bud.... Let us know if your ever in Sevier County, Tennessee area....
As for using this technique for the sport of marksmanship. You have roughly 3 sec after inhaling before you start shaking lightly. So after a 3 count take another slow deep breath. You're concentrating on your heart slowing it down because when your heart beats it slightly moves the rifle. Shoot between beats because at long range the SLIGHTEST movement of the rifle will move that bullet way off 800+ yards away. Anyone can shoot a good group with a strapped down rifle in a sled. it's doing it from a bipod on the top of a truck or on a pack that makes it YOUR shot.
Sweet! I'm in for some tips for sure! It's been a couple years since I've been out at the track regularly! Always helps to acquire info to better yourself! Thanks Billy!
Been watching you and tour family along time, ive learned that you doing what you do gives others strengths they never knew they had and provides passion to keep the fire inside burning 🔥,,, thank you for helping keep our dreams alive
I watch your channel and love it, i haven't raced in 40 years and last year was my first year back, i was having a little problem with the lights...thanks for the tips, I'm going to try them this coming season... Keep on winning!!!!!
Love it bro. I'm from Sandusky Ohio originally And had a Big Block , 69 nova and a small block chevy Monza when I was about your age and I made a living traveling and racing in the 80s and 90s. I, m retired now and wanna get back in the saddle. I'll be glad to join your channel here soon . In the process of buying a car and motor as we speak so money is tight. Stay up Billy that Kid. You got one hell of a future in this sport is live so much. We live so much.
Man I noticed a long time ago your a champ at the light and it is a good thing to have. lot's of races are won in the first 60 feet and reaction time is everything anyway keep up the good work and don't give away all your secrets and keep kicking that ass
Building my 1996 s10 6.0 and wondering what size skinny to run on the front? We have 15”x4 wheels ? Please make some suggestions. Will be foot brake for now until we can buy a brake running 4:10 and 28” rear slicks
Billy that works on a pro tree like you race on.But when you race a bracket tree the yellow bulbs come on one at a time so you have to focus on the last yellow bulb. Great video billy i like any video you put up you the man!!!
I always wondered why u never had a patron page I didnt now if u had to have so many subscribers before u could make one up I'm glad your doing it i cant wait till you guys can get a four cars to ever event that will be some badass content keep on keeping on hope 2020 is a blow up year for the channel
Great video. 11:3O - the competitor car is no joke. It’s a legit mid 7 second car. It’s a stick car which is a major disadvantage for RT’s. Especially against a car with a trans brake equipped automatic and a really good driver. This really proves the point being made.
Thank you for the info ever thing you explained I do have done in the past. I'm just getting back into racing with a trans brake but with electric reverse shift. Thank's again and stay safe.
It shows the join option on my Samsung galaxy. Really enjoy the content. I appreciate when you keep the videos clean, it allows me to share these with my son's.
I love watching the videos you make of street an track racing , But this honestly is very cool . I was around and into street racing back in the day and getting back into racing now.. Working on my junk for last two years and finally its far enough along to start getting myself seat time . I'll definitely tune in because there is shit I've forgotten or may haven't thought of . That would definitely help me . So again thanks for this .
Good video Billy anyone who has no or very little use for these types of videos can skip over and watch racing or building but I think your fan base likes your content and appreciates the effort I know I do cause I hate actors and people who are always trying to sell something thru drama . Can't wait for this year's new content and builds from you and the family. Hopefully you and your dad can do a video soon of a recap of 19 and what 20 looks like with help from Molly and Tommy . Happy new year
I've been watching y'all from the beginning 2017 I really enjoy it! It's cool to see how much God has been blessing y'all and see SRC rapidly progressing I have a SBC on small Tire when things don't go right your videos keep me pumped!
What you said about not looking at bulb is a good thing, I look past the tree into the road no place basically. If you see the bulb out your perifrial vision I swear it’s faster
Good info but only thing different bout that practice button is that with u holding with both hands u can pull the button down as u pull your thumb up and in the truck is stationary on the steering wheel
@@operation6604 ok you think so but most importantly do he think so. But can he actually beat either one of them? The real question is will he race either one of them I dnt think so. #HarnettCo#Erwin#Lilington#NC
Perfect video I've watched u play ur home tree the one in the video. But what u said makes perfect sense and proved it on video and that's what it's all about. Pls come back to cottonwood dragway so I can meet u. I love s10s doing work and u sir are doing it all the way from Ohio. I'm 1 mile from drag strip in cottonwood and hear it every weekend and so u got a place to stay when u come back I will be honored.
I like the video a lot people don't do what you do and I really appreciate the tips I have a 91 4.3 s10 and wanting to start doing some work to it just don't know what motor to go with I watch your videos a pretty good bit and man you got a fast s10 I mean that thing hooks like no other you got a great truck
Love watching all you guys. But I have to say the 1 person in your group that I can most relate to is uncle buck o. I'm a uncle real similar to buck o I feel. And sometimes I wonder why I'm good at fixing things but don't have the rewards of have the fun of racing myself . Let's get uncle buck o a race car and let him so his stuff😊😊 Let's go !!
You guys are after my heart with the falcon. Love your channels look forward to seeing your videos . Your family is the American family I know you have your problems we all do, keep up what your doing. God Bless you and your family.

Man I wanted to see you run my buddy in the white wagon good guy for sure 👍🏻 Man your brother is gonna look just your pops it’s awesome his boys following along 👍🏻 Thanks for all the content !! Happy New Years to you and your family!
Man u can tell exactly your secrets you got ball big as the back tires to hold that thing on the street way u do! I'm 43 and I have had a 6.0 car but street is super sketch mad respect man
I try to watch all of ur videos but I do watch alot of them I like ur truck n I think you and ur family are really nice and great people and I like ur mom dad they are cool tell ur parents u love them as much as you can I lost both of mine lost
Man I really like your videos...your real..alot of youtubers put on a fake persona ....I feel you like your legit...keep on making these awesome videos
Looking forward to getting back out at the track last time out with my 66 Impala cut a 005 007 003 got first round bye cuz of best reaction time no tachometer and could hardly hear my exhaust over the other car hope to be set up better medical bills put me on hold for 8 years racer Rick
Lost my mom Sept 9th of this year and dad last year in May n I like how u n ur family get a long n I am from New Jersey and I hope one day soon I get to meet you and your family some day n I want to build a car of mine own I love what you do n keep up the good work and please stay safe n Happy New Years n Merry Christmas I forgot to send it to you on Xmas tell family the same thing meet Xmas and happy new years to u great people and be safe thanks for being on here
Only thing you got wrong was the shooting breaths. Exhale while drawing a bow or setting in to aim a rifle and dont inhale until release or trigger squeeze stage is finished. Holding your breath with airin your lungs causes shaking and twitches.
That was awesome to see you and your dad in the same video at the same race as Turbo John besides you guys he is one of my top favorites to watch and it was good on you for shouting him out to try and help him get some more subscribers to his channel....his channel is very informative alot of the time and the bonus if he doesn't get video of him racing he's getting his boy Randy racing or another one of his buddies....... it would be great to see you two pair up to put on a big race somewhere in the middle of you two on neutral ground maybe in VA @ Virginia Motorsports Park (hint hint) lol 😆 maybe either put on a race like he has at Galot or maybe a No Prep race or a race like John Doc put on last year the LS NASTY race at Galot or just maybe a little bit ove everything No Prep,N/T,Small Tire,Big Tire,Stick Class,RVW type cars a mixture of everything
Good thing people use decent cameras on the starting line.... A .00x reaction time on the street would have everyone thinkin its a jump off a flashlight lol
I’ll watch whatever you guys put out. Would also love to see some more podcasts if you guys had the time. I know you all stay busy but I love watching you and your dad argue back and forth. Maybe he can bring the glasses back out.
Making it off the line is important but if your not a good driver and can't keep it hooked up and straight down the track you can't win either.I notice your also great at recovering from losing traction and getting it to hook back up to get to the line too!
All this information is exactly right, I'm 71 and have used the same technique. Last time out I had a .000, then a .002 and a .004 beat all three faster cars .
Doesn't matter what type of videos you put out I'm ears and eyes when it comes to you your dad girlfriend family period keep doing you.

Faster reaction time is beat the wife to the bank before she knows your paycheck hit
BAMM!
Stevie said he looks down track and catches tree out of his peripheral. That has been working the best for me.

Brother do you. End of the day its ALL about racing.. period. Wish yall the best for sure!
Making it off the line is important but if your not a good driver and can't keep it hooked up and straight down the track you can't win either.I notice your also great at recovering from losing traction and getting it to hook back up to get to the line too!
Thx for the tips Billy.👍
I still love that clip of you vs. John Rogers
Love your videos keep them coming
