Cleetus and Alex Almost Match Times at Windy Rocky Mountain Race Week Day Two (4K)

[@EASTSIDERIDER707]

I like that this coverage included the not-so-famous racers; the up and coming, women, and younger folks. Excellent work sir.

Came to say the same. 16 and learning to drive a manual and race at the same time! That’s badass:)

@@solitudewoodworking @UncleHank; @Tom Bailey; Luke Nieuwhof seems like a good fellow and very likable. His videos showing the prepared stops before Sick Week were very good, well done, with some nice, clear, descriptions and presentations. 😄 am in very much agreement that about the effort Luke put into some emphasis within this vlog upon interviewing several of the younger drivers, new drivers along with a two of the top drivers. Though these drivers were interviewed 😏, their actual passes either were poorly shown as nearly all of the others 😒 - mostly just the launch, with the times not shown clearly or at all, and many the trap speeds are shown. Also, the overall number and group selected drivers are very limited and the actual recorded videos shown are generally poorly done, recorded, and shown. 😒 -1. often unable to read or see the time board posted or lacking information. -2. the latter daylight runs shown were recorded from inside, in the middle position near start line, launch area, with the board of the right lane blocked by the 'tree lights'. -3. camera angles are poor, limited, lacking following the cars down the track, without use of any zoom and clearly visible, readable focus upon the time/speed measurement display board. - 4. a very limited number of selected participants. It seems that Luke still needs some significant improvement within good, proper video recording of the passes, use of and with the camera equipment, possibly the editing too, depending upon the available recorded videos. -5. These summaries could be much more expansive, show more drivers, from every category and not just some highlight with the limited few. -6. There is some small improvements with video recording shown and presentation compared to the previous event, Luke covered last month. -=>but, this Day 2, RMRW 2022 is noticably less than quality of and with the actual passes than Day - Both are very limited My hope is that these comment will be read, reviewed, comprehended, realized and thus be useful helpful and beneficial to Luke. 😏 - My comments and purpose are never to be a 'Yes man' and ignore the obvious. 😐 =>Rather, to appreciate, compliment what is good and critique what is lacking and needs improvement. 🤓 hopefully this will be receive, taken, accepted, used, be helpful and beneficial within the positive intents and purposes. 😏 All The Best and Much Success in Your Quest, Health, Happiness and Well Being. 😊 Sincerely ☺

Watching them on another channel first doesn't take anything aways from them and their channels, it just makes you more hyped to see it from their perspective

[@Chrius]

When there's multiple coverage from these events I usually watch it in all channels I follow, because even though the runs might still be the same, most of the time they get different perspectives/focus on different cars, or interviews with different people that have cool cars. 1320, Tom, Cleet, KSR, PFI... I usually watch all of them :P

The fact that Cleetus can hang with the pro mods is just insane. That alone should be a massive victory for him.

[@somethingsomeonesaid6455]

@@carsetc1794 Ah, gotcha. I have been noticing that the bigger tire cars are putting out "mild" passes for what they are capable of. Might be to save the car for later too, but when your chassis is set up for big power and you don't give it that, the whole system doesn't follow through with full power transfer.

[@crazyjon1tire854]

Hey Tom it's all getting better!👍 Glad to see we are finally getting to see more ET'S and that's great cause I was about to give up. Only thing I could call a complaint at this point is there were several teaser's where we watched cars through the traps but then the video was edited literally a half a second before the ET showed, but other than that it was great! For me ET's are the main reason I watch a video and if it wasn't for them I'm wouldn't be watching. One way to look at it is think of all the friends of the participants that are following your videos to follow their friends progress and have to go elsewhere to find their times.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up trying big tires eventually. That much power on a small tire only works when the track is really good like Bradenton
