2021 Independence Day Thrill Show Spectator Drags

The diversity in this field is the beat I've seen on a spectator race video. From DSM and other tuners to muscle cars.. Even a3800 series grand prix and fiero. Even some sleeper wagons, rivers, luxury cars and even an I8 super car nice field

@@TBERGMEDIA ive been watching for years! Love the channel! At the end of the vid, i realized it was the independents day races. Seems way more packed. 🤘

[@silverbullitt850]

Man there were some bad drivers in good cars out there! That C63 should have wiped most of the cars it was up against if it had decent tires and a decent driver. Shame they made the Eclipse driver leave due to the rear tire rub when half the GM's were pouring oil out the tailpipe. The i8 should have done a touch better- I agree with the driver mod comment from someone else here. Glad to see the fastest car win over the boring domestic cars that seem to dominate the entry list. That F100... man the suspension geometry in that thing has got to be horrible- it makes sense why it spins the second he loses control, the roll center is like 8 feet underground lol.

[@jayadams27]

25:08 Ballsy move from the BMW driver, I respect that

[@josephmoreton6395]

I had to think quick and try to do something...lol

[@SCHMALLZZZ]

@@josephmoreton6395 I was wondering, did the radars and "lane departure" throw you off when you were a little close to the other racers? We don't often see hightech cars like this on the track and I was curious if the safety features came into play. I think the ballsiest thing was bringing it in the first place and racing cars that cost as much as one headlight. Lol Thanks for bringing the i8 out.

[@josephmoreton6395]

@@SCHMALLZZZ it did yesterday on my second race, I did the second race in full electric mode, that was a mistake. Never again will I do that, the launch sucks in electric mode. And when I hammer the gas, and turn the assist bullshit comes on.. I just researched how to shut it off, gotta hold the traction control for a few seconds and it will permanently shut it off for good.

[@ChurchBoy0487]

Run-of-the-mill Camcorder's have tiny image sensors and pale in comparison to DLSR/mirrorless cameras that shoot 60fps, hence the reason why you no longer see people with camcorders. To get DLSR quality from a camcorder, the body alone will cost about a grand. A cine lens comes a dime a dozen. Just a tip. Great footage as always!

[@TBERGMEDIA]

Yeahh I know a camcorder with clear quality will be around a grand, this was just a test to see how it worked...smooth and close up footage was definitely a plus !

[@romero.4089]

Shame about Kline not really getting to compete, at one point he was so dominant he had a bounty that he placed on himself. The last time I saw Al in the Corvette he won his round then wrecked celebrating the win, lol. I'm surprised he hasn't shown up in the Camaro in a while. Also, does Vincent no longer compete in these? His Mitsubishi would win just about everything.

[@TBERGMEDIA]

Kenny will definitely be back at some point haha Al actually lost that race before he hit the wall, great to see him back out with the vette though ! And he wrecked the green camaro that same year, and is in the process of rebuilding it so I’ve heard. Also Mike Vincent would need 300 treadwear tires to race Seekonk due to the new rule change for AWD cars..check my recent videos his car at Hudson if you haven’t he got in a race before it broke. He’ll be racing at freedom factory aug 14th

[@BrettMKW]

@@TBERGMEDIA Ahh my bad, I misremembered, all I knew was he was doing donuts and next thing you know he puts it in the wall. I guess he brought the vette because he wrecked the Camaro, rough year for him if he wrecked both. I didn't know the rules about needing those tires to race at Seekonk. I've personally never competed in this, but I don't think my 2013 Dodge Dart with 160 hp will win lol. I hope Vincent gets back into it, I never knew about that rule change, but I guess that explains why Kline doesn't race the Evo here anymore. Last I saw him was with the blue Talon and it looks like he's driving a different car this time. I'll check out that video of yours. EDIT: Ouch that broken axle was painful, he probably would have won it all.
