[@NemmTV]

Thanks for racing! Can't wait for the next one!

[@jennbuker1704]

Thanks for making the trip out to film us!!! I’m excited that you filmed my first win against Charlie!!!

[@singsingsgtw]

Thank you for coming to our track. Was an exciting show!

[@NemmTV]

We all had a great time and hope to return in the future with more spectator cars racing! Stay tuned.... we will be having a race at our local track on the 16th and I'll be uploading the video ASAP

Subie Hot Flash in the form of an Arc Welder! Congrats to Jenn. ⚡💫🏁

[@jonnyturbo6142]

Hotflash!!! Awesone racing , turns look crazy tight #subiesofseekonk

[@paulross9287]

These two lap races way better than the single lap ones. imho

[@JW-rn6qf]

That Jen chick ain't bad. Seen her in a few of these now. If she works on her cornering she has it made

[@jennbuker1704]

Yes. I need to tell my brain to GET OFF THE GAS for a moment to transfer some weight to the front of my car. It is SO HARD to think out there!!!

[@JW-rn6qf]

Jen you're doing great. Brake super late and hard so you're not braking while turning... me in gear to shoot out of the turn.. slow in, fast out... your car is probably geared similar to my fk8...I like how your ran Charlie up high. You're a smart gal.. truly impressed with you since the season started watching these drags. Keep up the good work

[@brwneyeeater]

The race with the camaro was the best race of the night

[@Willis-de5hx]

Jen you are a beast 🔥🔥 lol

[@johnmcmullen456]

😢😢😢Crazyblazer: Race engine, race suspension set up for circle track, removable steering wheel, trailered to events. Built for spectator drags, not as a daily driver.

[@johnmcmullen456]

Maybe time to require roll cages & other safety items when having 10 lap features now with spectator cars before a serious wreck occurs.

[@brwneyeeater]

There are tracks in New England that have figure 8 and 20 lap Enduro races in stripped down every day cars with only a factory seat belt. You can see some of those videos on this guys page. This world is starting to get too soft. Soon it will be required for everyone to wear a safely helmet while walking.

[@johnmcmullen456]

​​@@brwneyeeaterFigure 8 & Enduro cars aren't supercharged with 900 HP nor full blown, trailered race cars disguised as street cars like the ringer with the Blazer. Spectacular drags have morphed substantially from its roots as an intermission show with true daily drivers from the parking lot doing only a single lap, 2 car run. Unfortunately with no rules or restrictions limiting speed and now multiple cars running multiple laps together, it's just a matter of time before a tragedy occurs that might end these popular events. Imposing safety rules isn't necessarily going woke but rather becomes common sense for driver protection and track protection against law suits as track speeds increase. Signed waivers can only do so much. One approach that might be workable and easy to enforce is to require cages for any spectator cars for all future events breaking out of a set lap time in the final round of an event.

[@brwneyeeater]

@johnmcmullen456 I see the point that you're making but this track was very small with tight turns. Nobody was hitting serious speeds including the Hellcat SUV and the Blazer and if a rule like that was implemented then THAT would be the end of the spectator drags because most of these guys wouldn't have a cage installed.

[@Carbonneutraldrop]

Top 3 cars were all in harnesses…blazer has roll cage…firebird has bar and harnesses…Subie has harness bar…cage incoming.

[@crazyblazerguy3773]

@@johnmcmullen456what’s so race car about the blazer ? It has heat and full interior

[@eduardorodriguez8381]

That hellcat with 900 hp got smoked left and right! Dodge makes big fat overpowered cars that are junk on the race track.

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

Heavy cars. Good engines though

[@brwneyeeater]

With better tires and driver you would probably see different results. It looked like it was this guys first time ever on a race track.

[@Carbonneutraldrop]

Dude killed it. He showed up thinking he was coming to a drag strip. Hell of a driver!

[@goodbonezz1289]

Nice racing…good cars. But it looks like not too many drivers are comfortable in the turns. Plus so many get caught sleeping at the green flag.

[@NemmTV]

This was the first time these drivers raced on this track. If you watch my other videos, these guys/ girls have no problem taking turns at high speed. And the green flag was being waved by kids from the audience so there was a little confusion on some of the races. Thanks for watching!

[@jennbuker1704]

The turns come SO FAST in a track this small. I barely had enough time to build boost before I had to turn. And NemmTV is correct. Having kids wave the flag was entertaining, but hard to read off the line. This was a great track & a lot of fun!!!

[@Toby_the_Glen]

2:35 yes, finally. A driver willing to exploit his cornering advantage over the dragster?

[@shrapnut7612]

I like how the Hellcat was hard to pass for the Sube, in the 10 lap.

[@jennbuker1704]

That hellcat’s a$$ was almost as big as my Subie’s a$$ - and almost as hard to get around!!!

[@JP3_C6Z]

Bethel is too small for a lot of the actually faster cars to win. I race TQ Midgets there.

[@kulin41]

Sick and tired seeing same cars every race every speed track

[@NemmTV]

If you pay for my plane tickets I'll be more than happy to travel so I get a different group of cars racing.
