[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

One this weekend Austin , $5 Fun Night Saturday at New Smyrna. Come on by. Appreciate ya

[@JustinOtterholt]

Awesome job with the video, i love the footage you got 🏁😎

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Much appreciated and congrats on the win! The Mustang was looking good.

[@JustinOtterholt]

@FloridaManRacingChannel yeah it felt good too, last night was supposed to be a 1 time thing only with bringing the mustang out there. But since it did so well, I may have to do it a few more times.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

@circlelt1 looking forward to it, the car looks very competitive.

[@hardbody_Santiago96]

Too bad I sold my truck now I cannot call you out I'm pretty sure it was gonna be a close one .The good thing with your car is the hooks really good out the whole plus the turns you wave a good setup 💪

[@JustinOtterholt]

@hardbody_Santiago96 yeah the crazy part is I had junk tires on the front and still won, my front tires had 560 treadwear.

[@arrivendrive6831]

What happened to the main event style race that they used to have?

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

They ended that about this time last year citing insurance reasons. Those were really exciting, hope they bring them back one day. Appreciate ya Arrive

Guy in red car cleaned up

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Justin is a veteran spectator racer at New Smyrna, he knows that track well and his Mustang runs strong. Appreciate ya Mark

[@markdimaio8396]

@@FloridaManRacingChannel very cool... they have track night at Mt Pocono Raceway. My brother was going to take his s197 Boss up there.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

@markdimaio8396 Hope he does well and has a good time. Would like to see video of it

[@markdimaio8396]

@@FloridaManRacingChannel oh yea it's a LS 302

[@JustinOtterholt]

​@@markdimaio8396it would be cool if he could bring it to New Smyrna sometime as well. The more the merrier

[@KitKitChanIsaac]

5:49 The green Mustang could've had it, but the bad start ruined it all.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Hard to come from behind so a good start is always key. Much appreciated Kit

[@timsharpe3498]

Corvette dude got a call from his mom while he was making a sandwich at the start line.

[@JustinOtterholt]

Yeah not everybody is used to reacting off of a flag, they do have a light that goes Green Way up and turn one, but it goes Green from nothing. Unlike a tree at a drag strip. But yeah that's part of the reason why I was beating everybody is because of reaction time and traction.

[@Sno3Bird]

@@JustinOtterholt Good reactions off the launch, and good driving :D That's awesome you'd won these. You had low trends on your tires? I like to come out next month with my WS6 for the fun of it.

[@JustinOtterholt]

@Sno3Bird I've got some pretty decent tires on the Mustang, I won't be at the event in june, I'll be out of state visiting family, but I'll be back for the July event. I also just won the last event on May 11th. And yes unless I'm racing against something that I can easily beat, it's unlikely that you'll ever see somebody out react me at the line

[@effyfil4277]

​@@JustinOtterholtHey. New season, new wheels? Good racing out there 🙂

[@JustinOtterholt]

@@effyfil4277 I've had this car for an extremely long time, I just never raced it on a regular basis. Before this season I had only ran it at two events before and neither of them were at New Smyrna

[@elguapo9628]

Guy in the white C8 sucks as a driver

[@JustinOtterholt]

Let's see you come out and do it better. This isn't a drag strip, it's not as easy to launch a car out there as it is on a prepped drag strip or a flat road.

[@elguapo9628]

@@JustinOtterholt is that crying, or just an excuse?

[@JustinOtterholt]

​​@elguapo9628 why would it be an excuse? I'm the guy that beat him and won the whole event. I'm just defending him because I've been doing spectator Racing for an extremely long time, and I know what guys like you don't. If you own something that you think can beat me out there, just bring it out and prove me wrong.

[@elguapo9628]

@@JustinOtterholt How can you even pretend to know a single thing about me? Please, explain it to me. As far as either of you know I could be a successful dirt track driver, I could be a road course instructor with 23 years under my belt, or I could be a 12 year old kid just trolling him (and now you too). You know absolutely nothing about me. Not one thing. Feel free to indulge yourself in whatever totally made-up fantasy back story you want if it helps you sleep at night. If you're so great at running a couple of laps around a track, racing one other car, in a stock-ish car, what does that prove about you? Are you a real race driver? If not, why not? If you are, why aren't you a successful pro driver. Your words and your little video hasn't impressed me whatsoever. Good luck with your mediocre amatuer "racing" career. He sucks, which proves you're only slightlybetter than he is. Way to go, I guess.

[@JustinOtterholt]

@elguapo9628 what I do know for a fact is that you are not a spectator racer, because if you were then you would know how difficult it is your first time doing it. And I would've heard of you by now. And I know that you are not a race car driver because if you were you wouldn't be trolling on KZbin telling people that their driving sucks. You're not the first troll on these videos that I've talked to and you probably won't be the last, but what I tell everyone is if you think you can do better bring something out and run your car and not your mouth. You started this whole conversation so just bring something out and prove me wrong.
