FINALLY! We Bought & Installed The 3 BEST Racetrack Upgrades Yet!

[@amaanhk]

Have been following you since the first video of this track and my gosh the development is so so beautiful. Slowly and steadily... I think this gives a much homely feel than anything track wise I've seen. You're doing an amazing deed. Big up, A supporter from India.

[@Greenlightfilming]

It does have a nice feeling when we are all out there. It's hard to explain. I really appreciate you sticking around this long! It's been a drawn-out process, but I'll keep pushing to make this a very nice racetrack for the size.

[@yamahaenticer]

Hey I made a simple start light set up for autocross raceing for my geoupe you could make one in the tower it’s just two house switches in a box one is a three way for red and green other is a single switch for a amber stage light we just counts manually in our head 5 sec to switch to green I just use out door extension cords I used the ground oops 🙊 wire for the red light power and the black for the green light power then the white for common nutral and another extension cord for the ground and to power the amber one with just plug ends it works perfect

[@phonetics8272]

Came here to say the same! What a cool project to follow, what a great thing to do for the motorsport community nearby! Keep on going strong! Grts from Belgium!

[@Greenlightfilming]

This is another step towards having a very nice, local racetrack. We are going to work on restoring the clay karting track soon. Thank you to everyone that's supported the series thus far! We have a long ways to go, but we will get there.

[@Kitchevo]

Simply epic! This track has come so far and it doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not! The work that has gone in is amazing you should be very proud of yourselves

[@lockburner2000]

Awesome news on the kart clay track!!!

[@Greenlightfilming]

@Kitchevo appreciate the kind words! It's refreshing to hear that perspective on the track. It's not talladega, and I'm not pretending it is 😆. It's small but it does work.

[@Greenlightfilming]

@@lockburner2000 agreed. Lots of folks said it can't be done.

[@Kitchevo]

@@Greenlightfilming sorry if someone says that to me, just makes me more determined to prove them wrong

[@andygibson6496]

A little info for the folks that are not from our area. The clay track your working to uncover use to be one of the fastest clay ovals, for carting, in the entire Midwest USA. I remember people driving 10 hours, one way, just to race at this track. To say im excited to see it possibly being used again is an understatement!

[@Greenlightfilming]

That's right buddy. Maybe it will be again after we get the track going.

[@DarrenShaw-ev5tb]

Racetracks are closing @ a rapid pace ! - You folks are only getting better - Thanx 4 the hope !!

[@Greenlightfilming]

You got that right. I saw Atco is closing too. Add that to the list this year....

[@siqueira4470]

I have started watching from the beginning and it’s wild the amount of change this track have got. It’s so good seen it receiving the care it should, keeping race alive

[@Greenlightfilming]

It truly is like a new place compared to the first video. There's a long ways to go, but it's fun to look back at where we came from.

[@dobber00]

String lines help a ton when paint stripes….also the string line marked the edge of the paint line, not the middle. Paint edge follows the string for straight lines…I watch all the videos! Your living the dream. I am from ND

[@Greenlightfilming]

That is an excellent suggestion. If I put some more thought into the lines I may have came up with that. Now I know for next time. Thanks for the tip 🤘. You aren't all that far from the track.

[@ghazogre8897]

I am not a car guy, not a racing guy. But I have been watching since the beginning and what a wonderful, fascinating journey. I can tell the passion and love you have for your hobby and it keeps me watching. It also doesn't hurt I grew up close by and I love seeing the area and scenery reminding me of home. Keep doing what you are doing!

[@TheBellvueRanch]

Great Work! THANK YOU for investing and working to keep motorsports alive! Unfortunately I am too far away, (in Texas) to attend the event this weekend, however i went ahead and bought tickets to attend. I hope your event goes well! I enjoy seeing our progress!! LETS GO RACING!!!!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks dude!! That really does help out our bottom line for each event. Everything that comes into the track financially goes right back into the track. That's the only way forward.

[@mikeconnelly7032]

She’s coming along!!! Maybe, a picnic/play area for the kids.

[@Greenlightfilming]

We did add one picnic table so far, and are always looking for more. Maybe add a play set for kids like you said. It's a good idea.

[@Mkarlzon]

Love your work man! I hope to be able to visit your track someday! Greetings from Sweden!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks for checking in! It always amazes me that so many folks watch from across the planet. It's really cool. If you ever make it over here, get ahold of me on the tracks Facebook page 🤙

[@HulluJanne]

I'd probably add some weight to that painting cart to make it a little more stable. Also would check if there's any play on the wheels.

[@Greenlightfilming]

A couple of guys mentioned adding weight. It seems obvious after reading it. That would help a lot! Wheels seemed ok, I'll verify.

[@pieterv6984]

Yes! It´s there at last: the donation link! I am happy you did that. Paused writing this comment to send a contribution to this inspiring project. Your tireless efforts (as well as from your friends) is amazing

[@Greenlightfilming]

Hey Pieter, I received the donation! Thanks dude. I'll give you a shout out in the next video. I really appreciate it. That does make a big impact for the track, where frankly every penny counts.

[@georgedreisch2662]

Bleachers are definitely a major score! Those don’t seem so large that they couldn’t be covered by a rental event tent, either.

[@Greenlightfilming]

They can definitely be covered/shaded. Those 10x20 canopies would basically do it. We are going to figure out something.

[@ADSC2006]

Great improvements. Looking forward to the start of the clay track.

[@Greenlightfilming]

More to come on that. It'll be it's own big project 🤘

[@young11984]

We always used 3” pipe to siphon ponds down, no pump needed and will pull it down to a couple inches for us to cut the dam and put in a below grade drain pipe if customer doesnt want it to ever fill back up then fill the dam, have a few ponds we drained around here used for ATV and dirt bike racing. You all have came a LONG way since the first video i saw where you just bought it, hope to see it continue improving and become a profitable and for others to be able to enjoy it for many years to come

[@therealcraigsutton2740]

Great upgrades Mr Greenlight 💯🤘🇺🇸🔥 Little steps to a Big goal

[@Greenlightfilming]

Exactly. Baby steps got us this far.

[@Racecareco]

been loving the racetrack upgrades! i think its time for a budget car build at the track! do a lap stock, do some mods, do another lap and repeat

[@Greenlightfilming]

Oh, you are in luck. Just wait.

[@jcbass2u]

amazing journey that this is on, so well done. Love the addition of the Bleachers and the sound / PA system. can't wait to see the Clay track back in action.

[@Greenlightfilming]

I can't wait either. Let the pumping begin!

[@bisket2003]

YES!!!!!!!!! Clay track work starting! Been watching since the very first track video and so stoked to see all the progress’s extremely cool to witness this all in real time. Love the work you’ve been putting in. I’m here for the long haul. What a beautiful passion project!

[@robertmccall8666]

Most guýs use a string chalk line for straight lines ... maybe add in a brick into the line painter stops the bounce.. nice works looks awesome... yes bleachers are crazy....

[@Greenlightfilming]

The brick is a great idea. That little dolly was bouncy as all heck lol. That, and you had the almost "wheelie" it to turn. It wasn't that great unless it's perfectly straight.

[@Dhips.]

It's so cool seeing how far this track has come. It will be cooler seeing it grow more into the future.

[@racelike]

It's getting better and better! Congrats on a huge and hard work!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks dude. It keeps getting better!

[@davidcoates9123]

Looking great mate, well done and keep going.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks Dave, appreciate it 🤙🤙

[@Mltemple8333]

Great to see more progress. Suggestion for striping. Long string and use a brick on each end for a straight line to follow. One brick with the string stretched out to a piece of chalk makes a consistent curve. I would also suggest a horizontal 2x4 (or a couple) to the back of the top seat on the bleacher so no one sits down and leans back and falls. First one should touch about 2/3 of the way up a person's back. Especially important for kids who are not as situationally aware.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

You're making steady progress! Awesome!

[@snowblindburd]

Great progress, man! I definitely need to make a trip up there for an event sometime!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Hope you make it sometime! We keep working towards making the place better.

[@k1ngofpayne991]

Love the look of the place its really coming together nicely. Keep up the good work. i almost wanna rewatch the 1st video again.

[@Mr62biscayne]

Great job! Love the progress

[@Greenlightfilming]

Slowly but surely. It'll be a nice piece of property 🤘

[@davidquerry8869]

I think it's great the progress your making.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thank you! It's slow, but incremental progress.

[@speedwayanywhere6845]

That's pretty cool. I've been a stage and event lighting director for over 30 years and I know it can be expensive to even rent them. Wooden scaff bleachers are definitely cheaper but they don't hold up to the elements so they are only good for indoor

[@kennyrichard2971]

Wow it all looks awesome Can’t wait to see the pond emptied and hope you can save the clay track so excited for you can’t wait for the next video

[@armith]

Great work!! Looking and sounding real good.👍

[@petranilla14]

One step at a time. Look at how far you've come already!!!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks buddy! One step at a time is the motto.

[@adwood201]

Old friend of mine used to use 2 old tyres and a long length of cord to run the wheels on to guide for a nice long straight line, I have no idea how he did curves though. He would just stretch it out close to where the line went with the tyres being heavy enough to keep the cord tight enough.

[@lewissilverman7697]

Great work bud

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks dude! It was a big team effort to do all the work in this video 🤘

[@bigsarge8795]

I just found your channel, and you're doing some amazing work. There's an abandoned race track about 10 - 15 minutes from my apartment down here in Houston, and I'd love to be able to do what you're doing.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! It's been a heck of a project. It's too bad it's not able to be done a lot more places.

[@justinspiderholden]

I love the constant continuous improvement, should i ever win lotto I'm shipping my car over for an event

[@Greenlightfilming]

I hope you win the lotto, regardless ha.

[@varmint243davev7]

Great Progress !!!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks Dave 🤘

[@chasedefox6938]

Lookin' better each vid! Keep up the great work!!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks buddy! Appreciate the support, as always. We have some work to do before this weekend's autocross.

[@joshg8458]

Should be easy with all the tracks shutting down lately. Maybe not smaller sets like your looking for though.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Most are nowhere near my track. Even hauling smaller sets to the track would add up quick.

[@PapaSorin954]

Nice score!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks dude! Took two years of looking for an affordable set. Then I found two lol.

[@Cloxxki]

Curious about the plans for the pond!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Drain the swamp

[@jimhiscott2918]

The more tracks that are shut down the more the street racing is going to go up. Example: doctors won't prescribe pain megs anymore and the drug cartels love it! They are making billions. Well cars are our drug and we will race them. It's men like you who is supplying us our fix. By all the hard work, dedication and thousands you have invested is keeping our streets safe, our kids safe. You are a true gentleman and I highly admire and respect what you have done and accomplished

[@kiwijeff3964]

Who's following this from different countries? I'll give you three guesses where I'm from... please comment in support.

[@Greenlightfilming]

I'll take a guess where you are from....

[@armyretired28]

Unless those lawnmower blades were bent you wasted your money on new, just sharpen those and it's all good. Those old blades looked like they had plenty of meat to use for many mowings!

[@Greenlightfilming]

They were bent and ground down many times already. It was not clearly shown in the video. Just time for some new blades.

[@Thisbajabug]

keep up the Great Work...

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks dude 🤘 appreciate the support. It helps keep us motivated.

[@racelike]

If I got this right, you are doing a small solar power system at 20:40, right?

[@Greenlightfilming]

That's correct. It's a supplemental power system and UPS for the tower. There's no permanent service to it right now.

[@racelike]

@@Greenlightfilming nice!

[@skiptrace4034]

After 63 years my local 1/4 mile just shut down. Thanks for preserving what you can.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Atco?

[@nessie42786]

What track was it?

[@MikeKalasnik]

BIG TEASER about the pond draining!!!

[@Greenlightfilming]

We are actively draining it

[@rickvisser8296]

Will there be a kart race in the future or maybe even a small sprintcar race with like 4 of 6 cars at the same time on the track? (your track would be one of the bigger sprintcar tracks in the netherlands)

[@piercet]

Theres a set listed in Idaho for really cheap.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Wish I was closer, ha. That's a heck of a tow.

[@johnhunter287]

You do know there are child labor laws. LOL As far as the paint goes it's a 20-35 job. Looks good from 20-35 feet. Great video

[@Greenlightfilming]

I completely agree haha. It did end up being a 25 footer, which I feared 😆 It looks ok in person for "freehanding" it. I'll take it

[@andygibson6496]

Does it count that they are my kids and I was helping as well? Unless you ask my wife... Then her 3 kids were out there doing work lol

you need to run next to a string for straight lines.
