New Smyrna Speedway
Half Mile High Banked Asphalt Oval
Family Fun Night
$5 Admission

[@JustinOtterholt]

After I was done racing I was watching from the infield and that kid driving the black Mustang can certainly wheel a car for someone with no experience, but you definitely don't want to go that hard your first time doing it.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Gotta give it to him for going for it, hope he gets the car fixed and returns one day. Lots of fast cars last night, another great night of racing. Appreciate ya as always Justin.

[@hayride5953]

What a ridiculous comment. He can wheel a car?? The only thing that worked on him was his foot. If you ain’t smarter than your car, don’t drive it. Typical mustang nonsense.

[@JustinOtterholt]

@hayride5953 how do you know he didn't come across some fluid on the track? Who knows. But he did well in his previous rounds and had no problems in that corner or anywhere else. I keep telling everyone who trolls on these videos that spectator racing is hard to win at when you're brand new, and that if they think they can do better, then come out and prove it, show us what you've got.

[@tymesho]

@@JustinOtterholt Got that RIGHT! That kid is more worried about the cost of getting ANYTHING fixed than worried about getting hurt. So many champs came from country dirt tracks around this nation. Still cheap enough to take the family, and it's all done safely.

[@asphaltcowboy7049]

When you bring your GTR to the track and let your mom race it.

[@JustinOtterholt]

It also didn't help that the GTR was on bags and tires that looked to be like all season tires

[@peekaboo1575]

The guy in the black Mustang was going for it, feel kinda bad for him. This was fun to watch. :^)

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Gotta give him credit for trying to pass on the outside like that , a shame he hit the wall though. Always a good time regardless. Appreciate ya Peek

[@Sno3Bird]

@@FloridaManRacingChannel In that case it was dumb trying to do that with no room to brake on Turn 2.

[@timsharpe3498]

That’s what Mustangs do.

[@edrod3580]

This is the only place mustangs win.

[@Fauxbra]

Even Cole Trickle knows not to pass on the outside of turn 3.

[@JustinOtterholt]

If you go to the outside.... You CAN hold!!! Mustang driver: "This one's for you harry!!"

[@bluffem]

Don't you do it Cole!!!

[@RedLP5000S]

If the driver of the GTR knew how to drive, he would have cleaned up the field.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Definitely a fast car bit probably little or no experience on an oval track. Better safe than sorry as well with an expensive car like that, we all know what can happen. Much appreciated Red

[@JustinOtterholt]

He still would have had trouble with the Mustangs, when you have a GTR that is on all season tires and bags, it's not going to do well at a track no matter who's driving it

[@jamesstuart3346]

Mustang in Redfire paint looks gorgeous 😍

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Definitely a clean ride. Performs very well too. Much appreciated James

[@JustinOtterholt]

Thank you ❤

[@jonathasfigaro4992]

Is a Mustang thing , everything is fine.

[@matthewmoilanen787]

You mean smoke Camaro's. Losing makes one sour huh.

[@sjv6598]

That looked an expensive wall tap 🙂

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Airbags deployed alone has to be expensive. Sad to see it happen to such a nice car, thankfully he wasn't injured. Appreciate ya SJV

[@Nebbia_affaraccimiei]

18:00 click

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Thanks for the shortcut . Much appreciated Nebbia

[@stevesmith7693]

Thanks

[@johnsullivan937]

Gtr driver needs to spend some money on some decent tires or some lessons. That was straight embarrassing. I've seen 12 year olds handle lawn mowers with more precision.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Lmao . Appreciate ya John

[@OrmondbeachDaniel]

Do yall know When the next one is?

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

This Saturday night if it doesn't rain. Appreciate ya Daniel

[@bill3641]

.......But when I called my insurance agent,.....he said he saw he the video so,..............................oops.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Lmao. My bad. Appreciate ya Bill

[@MrDejast]

Mustangs can’t even go in a straight line without crashing, what made him think trying to turn was a better idea?

[@BillyRamirez]

19:22 That’s an epic Surrender Cobra.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

😄never heard it called that. Thanks for the laugh Billy. Appreciate ya

[@mikejenkins4643]

When do they do these at new Smyrna?

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Usually once a month during their racing season. Look for the $5 Family Fun Nights on the New Smyrna Speedway website for exact dates. Next one scheduled for June 29th. Much appreciated Mike.

[@mikejenkins4643]

@@FloridaManRacingChannel I'll definitely check it out.

[@Mannard74]

the GTR driver has zero skill

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Probably has little or no experience on a high banked oval, taking it easy as not to end up like the Mustang did. Appreciate ya Mannard.

[@gregorygolden1296]

I raced at New Smyrna years ago and i can surely tell you that is not the place you want to mess around with.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Those walls come up quickly if you mess up I'm sure. Much appreciated Gregory

[@Sno3Bird]

So far as I'm watching this. The person in the 4th Gen Camaro was going really easy on his car. Are these events listed in the tracks site?

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Look for the Family Fun Night on the New Smyrna Speedway website. They do these once a month and admission is only $5 . Come see it in person if you are in the area, can't beat the price. Appreciate ya Sno

[@Sno3Bird]

@@FloridaManRacingChannel Of course. I'm up in Jax I'll bring my WS6 for a race.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

@Sno3Bird Can't wait to see that, always good to see new competition show up.

[@Sno3Bird]

@@FloridaManRacingChannel haha It's stock IDK I would call it competition on the straights looking forward to meeting new people, and share our car, and racing experiences.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

@Sno3Bird Guarantee you'll do all of that and have a great time. Might do better than you expect, anything can happen.

[@sixstanger00]

Although the Forester had no chance, it was kind of BS that the S197 jumped the green flag, but still got to move on to the next round.

[@nightwolf9723]

Chase is a race. Forester should have stopped and called the foul. But he didn't. He chased after him. The race is on.

[@sixstanger00]

@@nightwolf9723 Sorry no. This isn't street racing. On a sanctioned track, the racers don't double as referee. It has *_always_* been race officials that make that call. The starter made it obvious over the PA system that he saw the jump. The race should've been forfeit and redone. Otherwise you send a message that racers can move to the next round if they just cheat.

[@JustinOtterholt]

What jump?? 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gou4faqZZZx1eMUsi=s0qOeruhJZghLDlR

[@effyfil4277]

@circlelt1 pity you bumped right into that Mustang only in round two. You almost had him though. Next time maybe? 🙂

[@JustinOtterholt]

We never touched. He and I are good friends, I'm just as fast as him but he is on a tire that is near enough a slick with a couple lines of tread, so I just couldn't stick in the corner as good

[@pazsion]

wheres the k20 f series and hybrids?

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Maybe tomorrow night. Subscribe so you don't miss the next upload. Appreciate ya Pazsion

[@Dazzling_Dani12]

I was there

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Can't beat the value for only $5 ! Much appreciated Dani

[@SHWELL11]

Looks like it was a great time. I am hoping to have a car in my stable I can make "SD Certified"aka, Spec Drag Winner!....

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Can't wait to see it. Appreciate ya as always

[@89firebird]

Too much talking

[@slayer8actual]

Mustangs doing Mustang things. Use that phrase to search KZbin and you'll find out that there's a reason there are countless videos of just Mustangs wiping out.

[@nightwolf9723]

Yes, when a powerful car is paired with a skill-less driver. Makes for great content. But it's not just Mustangs. You can see the same thing with Corvettes, Camaros, Trans Ams, Chargers, Challengers, McLarens, Nissan GTRs, Acura NSXs, Mazda Miatas, Porsche 911s, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, AMG Mercedes-Benzs, Audi R8s, and my personal favorite, BMW M-series fails.

[@JustinOtterholt]

Predators don't hunt when they are not hungry. That's why you have to remember to feed your Mustang before racing it....

[@flashgordon3715]

He might have been fine if he didn't hit the brakes at all. Maybe.

[@916chevyboy]

So cool🎉

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Appreciate ya Dennis

[@chainsawmanny]

That mustang that went into the wall, I heard that’s his dads car. Heard it did a lot of damage, tons of stuff bent underneath. Probably totaled the car. His daddy’s gonna be mad. Can tell when he got outta the car the look of fear when he threw his hands up 😂

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

He may have very well bent front suspension parts or the IRS , let's hope it's not that bad though. Thanks for the update Chainsaw. Much appreciated

[@flashgordon3715]

The insurance company is like..... You're on video. Game over man. No reset.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

@flashgordon3715 No police report and car towed from a racetrack. Going to have a hard time explaining that. Much appreciated Flash

[@Fauxbra]

@@FloridaManRacingChannel That's why you have a friend tow you home and tell the ins co. you hit a barrier on 95 or the t-pike.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

@Fauxbra The man with the plan. Just hope your insurance agent isn't subscribed to this channel 😄. Much appreciated Fauxbra

[@Timbermonkey360-em4th]

This was so screwed up.. Why don't you all at least try to equally pair the vehicle up, come on putting a little 4 cylinder car that might have 150 horse power up agents a 500 horse power mustang

[@edrod3580]

Mustangs alway crash lol. And guy in the gtr must be embarrassed to loose against a mustang!

[@JustinOtterholt]

Not really, the GTR driver knew what he was up against.

[@matthewmoilanen787]

I'm ashamed of myself that I actually spent five minutes watching these, moonshine using hillbillies racing their Mom's minivan because their lifted truck is still stuck in the mud and will roll over if they go across the Walmart parking lot too fast, before my brain kicked in and said no.

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Lmao 😄thanks for the comment Matt. Made my day.

[@truthbetold3931]

YAWN….

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Thanks for staying up past your bed time to enjoy this upload. Much appreciated!

[@truthbetold3931]

Try editing out the three clowns going car to car before each race.

[@hayride5953]

That was a waste of time.

[@seanmcdaniel7041]

Sure was

[@paulpence8895]

Pay to play!!!!

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Definitely an expensive night. Much appreciated Paul

[@resqfreedom9308]

This is literally the most pathetic spectator drags ever! Seriously!? 10 minutes into it and still haven't had one even close. You should pick them by horsepower instead of luck of the draw! Bye bye
