would you share how much the insurance cost per race or month?

My thought on how these manufacturers of these aftermarket brakes are recommending how to size brakes on the front and rear of the car is, that the idea of using smaller brakes on the front seems like a leftover idea from the bracket days of everyone running a 14x32 in the back with a 2 or 3-inch skinny in the front. (I know they also use weight as a justification now) In that example set up from years ago, yes if you applied any substantial amount of braking effort to the front tires, all you'd do is lock them up. So you have to stop with the big 14 inch tire in the back. Although those cars still exist, a lot of cars are dual purpose and, as such, use a much closer to stock width tire in the front such as a 5 or 6 inch wide, while the rear tires have gotten smaller as tire technology has gotten better. So what used to be 14-inch wide rear tires have turned into 9 or 10-inch wide tire. It has become a lot harder to lock the front and a lot easier to lock the rear in recent years. There are a lot of factors that should be taken into consideration as every car and set up will act differently, which is where the adjustable proportioning valve comes in handy, but it can't completely cure an unbalanced set up, if you need more than what can be produced at a reasonable brake pressure for the rear, by using too small brake setup on the front, which again is where the weight goes during braking. Now my thoughts on why your brother may have hit the brakes as hard as he did the second time, which I don't believe to be any fault of his own per say. I have f3 tbms on the front of my car with stock 12 bolt drums in the rear. There are instances where I have excessive pad knock back occur where the first time I hit the brakes, it takes 4 to 6 inches of pedal travel to get brake pressure. When they were new, it happened a lot, but as they are seated in now, it only usually happens after the car sits a while. However, if the first time he hit the brakes, it took a lot of pedal travel to build pressure. He may have gone for another pump of the brakes, and if he expected to have the same 4-6 inches of travel and got 2 inches instead, it would explain hitting the brakes so hard the second time.

A lot of cars run rear brakes only though. Dragsters, altered's gassers ect .

glad you had insurance on the car. i didn't know that had race car insurance,that's nice to know. Hated to see this video but everyone was okay and that's awesome news!! i have a question, did any of the wiring get damaged in the accident?

I think the blue car will buff out. J/k

I’m glad everyone is well.

Man I hate seeing wrecks ! That car was awesome sad to see it wrecked !

Sorry about the hot rod. Glad the driver was ok. I totaled mine a few yrs ago. I'm putting together another car now. Who do you get on track insurance from?

Looks of the cage you could reuse most of it. Good job saved his life

Did the car have a parachute? With the radial cars running a good bit of separation always have to pull the chute before you touch the brakes to sit the rear of the car down

Matt. That's such a shame that the car got wrecked but luckily your brother gets to walk away, and you can always build a new car. That cage and seat mounts most definitely did its job in keeping him safe.

I'd buy that glove box door from you in a heartbeat, i hope this doesn't come across as classless . Edit: i am kinda classless, i just didn't want it to show .

As a fellow Chevy II guy . . . . 😢

So sorry about your car man. My buddy Dennis McKay and Mike Coffey have had you do some work on their cars. You guys do some throw down bad ass shit. I hope to someday have a 2nd Gen Charger pro street. I definitely want you guys to do the work. Anyway, I hate to say it but you know the new ugly car is going to be a damn lucky Rabbits foot. That’s how the universe works. And I didn’t even know you could get Race Car Insurance. And I got a YT channel too, I’ll share your vid.

This brings a tear to my eyes

Let me start by saying, I am glad Mike walked away from the crash. Like you said the car can be replaced ,a life can not. I have the same set up. 64 nova strange brakes all the way around. My car would lock the front brakes up and had really bad brake fade. In my case it was the proportion valve was adjusted incorrectly. I am by no means saying this is your issue, but maybe something to look into in the future. And finally enclosing you ,make some of the nices retrofit Roll Cage’s for Chevy novas. Big fan!!

This really sucks but glad he's ok!!!

Sorry to see this ,who was the insurance company im interested in getting it

Very happy to hear that Mike is safe. Man, that sucks but I totally get it. I am currently building another D&D car (64 Nova) and Safety is always the top priority. Hope to meet you on Drag Week!

man i hate to see shit like that happen to such a great guy but im glad no one was hurt wish ya the best wish there was something i could do to help

Can you get me a price on this as a 10 point for a 62 Chevy II, I think the floors are the same

Sucks to see this Matt, but I'm glad everyone is okay.

Bro , I'm crying and it's not even my car. So sorry man. We all hate to see such a beautiful car go to the graveyard. You guys should be proud of the work you do!

Dude that sucks so bad , I’m glad Mike walked away that’s the main thing …shit sucks , shit happens.

its artwork man, top notch work

You all built some amazing parts saving my money to purchase some parts great video

Maybe I missed it but is this this 55” rear end you offer?

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

That’s a 73. It does not have rear bumper shocks in frame rails.

Definitely making top quality parts for an affordable price!

Great video looking forward to see the second GEN Camaro

Great video, Awsome setup. In the process of installing this kit myself. Cleaning everything up to mark up brackets for welding . Again great video.

MAN YOU HAVE AN AWSOME CHANNEL , JUST SUBSCRIBED, CANT WAIT TO START ON MY S10 BUILD, THANK YOU

Outstanding!

would have liked to seen the finished wing.

How do you tig weld the back side of some of these joints?

When is the 68-74 nova video coming??

The 4 bolt holes are they + or - how much from factory location

Can’t wait to buy these!

Ok im going to keep eating soups every time you drop a video😅

Are you going to do a 25.3 for an s10?

does the hop-up kit with traction bars come with the 1/2" Assassin bar size for the traction bar spring plates ?

Price for this kit but with longer a pillar bars so I can move the main hoop back 6 to 8 inches past the door Striker area I am a big guy and want it back so I can move the firewall back

Cool 😎!

man thats a work of art, im building an 01 this spring i think that your setup will be goin in mine thanks for a great video

❤❤สวยมากอาจารย์

Amazing. Can you do a video on installing the leaf spring through bolt spring perches and your preferred way of setting pinion angle before welding . Thanks!

Can this kit be used with coil overs instead of leaf springs?

this is an amazing complete setup!!
