Great racing action at Watkins Glen! SCCA Spec Racer Ford

[@robertrishel3685]

Great driving! You and that second place driver were absolute ANIMALS! Just madmen through the chicane! Brilliant racing!

[@Racer_X]

It was a blast... thanks for watching!!!

[@douglaspearson7185]

Thanks for uploading this vid,this is some awesome racing,you certainly have a knack for being at the sharp end - speech bubbles are great, they show your personality. I cant get over how clean the racing is between you and the other guys. A lot of top tier racing/racers could learn a lot from this.please keep em coming

sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my password. I love any help you can give me!

@Branson Ford Instablaster :)

[@bransonford6282]

@Silas Carter I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@bransonford6282]

@Silas Carter it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account :D

[@silascarter5850]

@Branson Ford No problem :)

[@danielarimborgo5410]

Just discovering your videos. I've seen many professional in-car videos, but your's just show the speed and delicate balance between control and the loss of it, not to mention the increase in both, with your lightening gasoline load as the race wears on, and your tires wearing down too! Those older sports cars really move! I used to race ten speed bicycles (when they just had ten or 12 speeds), I know I'll never do this, but you're videos are so fun to watch! And add your music of choice, (which i have at my side in these trying times, and it's heaven! Maybe I'll get into sim racing, why not? All the pros are doing it now on TV, yuk, yuk.

[@KB4QAA]

So much more interesting and exciting to watch from one cockpit perspective! Thanks.

[@alexandre-guzu]

I would love an audio commentary on this, to understand your thought process all along. Great racing, thank you for sharing

[@Racer_X]

pkhk good idea. Maybe I’ll try that... thanks!!

[@alexandre-guzu]

RacerX (Phantom9192) nice! There are so few videos actually talking about racing strategy, decision making, etc, in real time. Your videos would be the perfect fit since you’re actually racing each others 98% of the time 😅

[@disillusionedanglophile7680]

Go and watch Guy Martin doing a (post lap) commentary of a lap on the Isle of Mann TT...not possible to commentate while driving, nor while doing a TT lap

[@filipebeat4941]

mr little hands lmaooo!! great drivin! n great video fo anybody who likes to drive fast, cheers!

[@stevendavis8222]

You videos are the best. Better than all the high tech crap the networks put out. Thanks for another great ride along!!

[@ianchandley]

I lived on Main Street in Watkins Glen for about a year after graduating from RIT in the early 1990’s. When IMSA was in town, I went up and hung around during practice - it was amazing to get close to the cars without the pressure of competition. The town of WG also has a historic trail marking out the original track which was fun to ride my mountain bike on. Such a beautiful place and track.....

[@Dave-ru3tt]

What an exciting race to watch-one of the best i've seen. Great driving ! Thanks for putting on such a good show.

[@FlowState.Racing]

Its 2024 and I still come back here every now and then to see you drive this thing like a demon! Also the intake on the reverse camera makes it look like a bonnet cam, making it look like the car is reversing around track at high speeds. My brain knows its not but I keep seeing it that way anyways 😂 Hope you are still racing! Stay safe dude

[@scottm4267]

Great driving. Great video... Kudos to all! Thanks for uploading!

[@NickyDeeNM]

Wow. Seeing you dancing around the corners, high speed counter steer, with no run-off. I was tensing up just watching!

[@joshuadelorimier1619]

Great race love these type of races whish more people in iracing understand long term strategy inside of fighting for fourth position.

[@skydiver6711]

Wow, just wow! I am tied up in knots straining and twisting helping you get around those turns. You are welcome. Anything I can do to help. Absolutely fantastic video and race. I'm truly impressed.

[@AndreGreeff]

That was 28 minutes of pure, beautiful, skillful driving bliss right there by the top three... Very well done indeed!

[@keen0515]

Just happened to stumble upon this today. Great video. Great driving!

[@badd8]

Great race. :) Did this combo in iRacing and it was a blast! Wish i could do it in real life though, since it's probably ten times as fun. :)

[@brianbassett4379]

Some of the best video of racing I have seen. Great position, nice rear shot, great sound. "That's less than optimal" was exactly what I was thinking when the rear end broke loose.

[@aPoCoTuToDac]

Great race and great video! Telemetry overlay would me nice addition.

[@BryonLape]

Y'all got to run the boot. Very nice.

[@pilou827]

Great! Very fast and clever pilot!

[@djsesler]

So good Denny. I really miss watching you drive off into the distance while I bust a gut fighting for 9th place. :)

[@RichinRoch]

Funtastic racing! I have done Skippy and a few HPDE's at WGI. Hope to get out there in my Miata this year. I'm doing the iRacing thing this winter, and Spec Ford racer is one of the cars I can drive at the Glen. It will be fun to see how close I can get to your lap times. You have inspired me! I will have to subscribe to you. Rich

[@baltsosser]

Really nice point of view from the camera placement. Good work.

[@vinix62]

his is a great show!! thanks.

[@propxprt69]

Great race man. I had a good time watching that.

[@gillescolombier3743]

Wonderfull race 👍

[@randomdude8877]

Nice Race! =) Always happy to see a new upload from you

[@JReaLBiz86]

I love this course. I'm not incredibly good at it in any of the sims I play, but it's still a fun track to wheel around. You hook the carousel so well, man, you had to make up a tenth and a half every time through there. Looks like the black car figured it out after about 3 laps. You cleaned up T1 around that same time though, you started looking a little quicker through there each lap. 22:59 that was quite a bold move by the leader! He definitely wanted to hold the top position. Doesn't exactly seem like the "plays well with others" type either, he has a really aggressive style. the way you enter some corners a bit wide and pitch it in for a strong exit is something to be admired Idk what kind of telemetry is available from these cars but it'd be neat to have a diagram of the course you're running as well as your relative position on the course. I know the NASCAR corners and names at the Glen, but I don't really know the boot section that well. I realize this video is some 5 years old at this point, but I like watching people race to learn techniques and improve my own race craft, and just because I love the art and technique behind driving a race car. Excellent run on your part!

[@ardbeg4mercy247]

The right side kerb at the end of the chicane on PCars 2 is like driving on ice. Can't touch the gas on it. Wonder if it's like that for real...

[@JReaLBiz86]

@@ardbeg4mercy247 I usually see most cars take it nearly wide open, so I don't think it is. PC 2 has some issues with it's tire model that make driving more of a hassle than it actually is. I was hoping it would be a decent racing sim instead of a good racing game, but it seems to be more the latter

[@artysanmobile]

Great last lap! Protecting and pushing all the way.

[@Jesperoni]

I love your videos man, keep them coming.

[@ralphcraig5816]

I loved how you see the other guy starting to get loose from the pressure starting at around the 9:00 min mark. Nice drive...

sick!!! One day I will have to rent one an go racing. It's now on my bucket list.

[@KristianS80]

Good race man! Text balloons are great, but you need to do something with the back view, it is confusing. :)

[@Racer_X]

KristianS80 Hey Kristian, yep... the mirroring of the rear cam is an extra step in the post processing that takes a while and honestly, I just forgot to do it this time. Thanks for watching and posting!

[@Nemtom42]

You need to mirroring the rear cam view (again).

[@RustyTruckandCrazyDuck1958]

Hey man, great video. I love the hand jesters, if only you could flip them the bird every now and then. Great driving. I'd like to see Lap times lite up, What lap you're on, and What place you're in. I guess that's to much to ask. I can run Walkens Glenn short, with BMW Z4 gt3 in 1:11.xxx Don't know if that fast or not. Seems fast. I like the cartoon captions too. That was a great addition to an already very nice video. Keep up good work Sir.

[@aguyontheinterwebs3576]

How do you get into this kind of racing im 16 and have loved racing my whole life and I'm kinda near the glen to

[@DiodeMilliampere]

That was exciting

[@bdavis3929]

Do these have power steering?

[@BassAmateur99]

That was bad ass

[@rowgun5212]

A quitter never wins and Denny never quits.

[@computiNATEor]

Nice job! Great position defense that last lap! Do the SRFs put down a meaningful amount of downforce at high speeds, like in the carrousel?

[@Racer_X]

computiNATEor Hey Nate, no there is not significant downforce but there is some. For instance I generally pick up high speed understeer when I'm behind a car in a high speed corner like Turn 5 at WGI (the carousel I think you are referring to). We have limited downforce by design as we have limited HP. With more downforce, while we might pick up a couple of MPH in the corners, we'd lose at least that much on the straights I suspect. Thanks for watching and posting!

[@sioda2008]

Thought it was iracing for a while, lol

[@Tin_Fed]

Is the steering effort as hard as it looks?

[@Racer_X]

TheBravo Chimp Hey Chimp, absolutely not, though it all depends on how you set your caster in the car. I set mine in the medium range so there is some effort at low speeds but at speed it's minimal. The car is very light so power assist isn't required. Thanks for watching and posting!

[@balareddy7563]

is that your own car or u have a sponsor?

[@evanattacks621]

were you guys just having fun in the race?

[@Racer_X]

+EvanPatrick Byrne Hey Evan, yep. These cars are a blast to drive. Identical cars have to be set up perfectly and driven on the ragged edge 100% of the time to win. What's more fun than that? (this is a family channel ;) ). Thanks for watching and posting!

[@FromMyPerspectPhoto]

+RacerX (Phantom9192) I'm guessing that's what makes races like those numerous Mazda Marta cops so fun. lol Did you net any purse in this race, our was it just for bragging rights?

Before I watch any further a question: Will the annoying text narration ruin the entire video or just the first few minutes?

[@Racer_X]

Jim Noonan if I’m understanding the question, the text is only at the beginning to set up the race for you. Thanks for watching!

[@escargod]

@@Racer_X Was really enjoyable. I raced in 1970's but started driving The Glen in 2011. I do the same lap times in a Subaru STI so it seems very familiar, though I don't dance around near as much.

How much was it foe this race, im trying to start off my racinng career and from what im hearing i need money wuick

I used to get asked this often while I was RoadRacing... My standard answer to; "How much does it cost to start Racing...?"
