I RACED AT INDY!! -- RACER VLOG #1 -- (Battle at the Brickyard)

I lived a childhood dream of racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as I entered the 2018 USAC Battle at the Brickyard in the Briggs and Stratton l206 Medium Class. This was my FIRST EVER real race. Join me on my journey as I learn how to race for real at the most famous race track on the planet!

Says Iracing is too expensive but goes out and does the real thing, fantastic lol.

[@aaacupseries9357]

in iRacing you have a better chance of surviving though...

[@tuckerknouse3578]

Great stuff David! I got chills at moments throughout the video! This was really a joy to watch. I am proud of you for going and living a dream you have had! You were wheeling that thing on the final lap! Heck of a job!

[@DrivenMediaFilms]

This is probably the best put together video I've seen from you. Love the narration. I can only hope I can have such an opportunity one day.

[@W123KartSport]

David Land a key to setup for karts is having them get faster as the race goes on. You always want your last lap to be the fastest

[@nascarphiltorres4677]

Well David Land I would love to see you at Pocono next Saturday for the Truck series and maybe see each other

[@TheMemeProf]

Awesome job David! Can't wait to see next year's race! You'll do better!

[@hazy33]

What game is this!? The characters models are worse than Assassin's Creed Unity! ;)

[@ethanrmatheson]

hazy33 HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[@cadenbishop37]

This feels like a documentary

[@DNP_10]

Hey, you finished the race. And that ain’t bad for a first start

[@AllendynastyMC]

The dopest vid on this channel

[@barrettpolhemus3475]

Bad to worse... welcome to the world of racing

[@garencarter746]

could you run a helmet cam

[@DavidLand91]

Nope, that's banned.

[@garencarter746]

David Land oh.ok a race i recommend going to is next years Goodland grand prix its part of sira karting. Ive attempted it a couple of times its a good race weekand. And its street racing

[@ms8ff153]

More people care about Monaco go or le man 24 hr

[@DL-nn1ws]

This should be a movie “Land of dreams”

[@megabutters9144]

DL 14 i would watch it

[@JonathanZoerlein]

Damn David, you've come a long way from being Mr. NASCAR Authentics Reviewer lol

[@TheKincognito]

That was very entertaining to watch. Well edited, and very well narrated. outstanding Video David! Hope you go racing again soon so we get more of this!

[@PayasYouListen]

Going for the Jacques Villeneuve fit on those overalls.

[@DavidLand91]

That's literally what I said lmao

[@ryanpickering733]

Great Coverage!! I had a very similar weekend to yours. I drove the 14T. I will post the link when I get my footage uploaded. Pretty much an advertisement for Red Bull. lol

[@TotoDG]

1:56. Careful. If you drink too much of that, you’ll lose your Red Bull sponsorship.

[@The98Man098]

SovietOnion cause it’s western lol

[@nicksant1653]

That was a great vlog David!

[@nathandills2333]

NickSant16 I wonder the same but I think I will wait for part 2

[@RunningsRacing]

David, I think that if anybody deserved a chance to race at Indy like this, It would be you. I will be looking forward to any other race you participate in and any of your other videos! I will be at the NASCAR races at Indy in September and I would love to meet you.

[@TotoDG]

14:48. It’s official: David Land has fangirls!

[@megabutters9144]

SovietOnion lol

[@davisrenfrow8997]

lol you look like an American Sebastian Bourdais

[@smileygladhands]

You did really well for your first ever race. I've driven a go-kart that's similar to the kart you drove, and they are not easy at all to drive well and competitively. Awesome job my dude!

[@Macieldta]

David what's your thoughts on IndyCar going back to laguna seca?

[@ogdrifter9977]

[@lilstinky6323]

All I have to say is the corkscrew

[@CodyHicken]

Finally!

[@lvyXD]

I am a fan

[@K4R3N]

Fantastic, glad to be a part of this. Wanna see you out there again! Great video

[@keithgaw9400]

Great video! It was a blast to race with you during the weekend.

[@DavidLand91]

Shake n bake!

[@racingfan83]

The "oh my god its david land!" Probably made you feel really good. Congrats.

[@DavidLand91]

Well I mean it was my mom... But yeah lol

[@racingfan83]

Oh HAHAHAHAH

[@LordofGarnix]

Project Cars 2 prepared you for turn 1 pile up and Crashes 😂

[@BRN14fan]

It was a pleasure to meet you. You did a great job for your first race. If you ever get the chance, New Castle would be a good proving ground to learn more about sprint racing

[@aaacupseries9357]

You drink your Coca Cola... Wearing your Red Bull suit

[@Abdullah-mr8vu]

WOW

[@jakegibson9219]

David Land> Morgan Freeman change my mind

[@BillHFA]

Morgan Freeman won the pre-heat and finished third on the main race, after kartwheeling on lap 2. He is definitely better.

[@4x_mffl]

Where did you finish David

[@DavidLand91]

38th out of 57

[@4x_mffl]

David Land I hope you do better next year

[@DavidLand91]

Planning on it. Qualifying was key and that's where we screwed up. Gotta get away from the squrells in the back!

[@The_JDM_Rx7]

18:40 is the guy that flipped ok?

[@truslew8089]

Skittles Master777 If he was seriously hurt they probably would have ended the race

[@DavidLand91]

Hurt his shoulder, but is fine otherwise from what I heard.

[@The_JDM_Rx7]

David Land thats good to hear hes ok

[@DatDuckOfficial]

Holtz Films how would you know

[@DatDuckOfficial]

Oh.

[@ryanwhitlock7350]

That "Back Home Again in Indiana..." Well, let's just say it wasn't what I'm used to.

[@twitchynitch]

That was fantastic David. I think every fan of your channel & motorsports in general sat back and watched that in envy. & as you've said, you're part of an elite club who's first race EVER was at the Brickyard. Side note, found your channel about a month ago and have been binge watching ever since. Whether it be NH2, Project Cars, or the Red Pill, I've enjoyed it all. I'd say keep it up, but I already know you will.

[@DatDuckOfficial]

That’s awesome!do you hope to be a nascar driver?

[@jean-lucdupuis7052]

That wreck avoidance was all skill ;)

[@LarryTheButcher]

I've ran the half marathon at Indy twice! We enter the speedway at the entrance on Georgetown and enter the track in the back straight. I've been to the race 3 times, being on the track is very different, being on the track with 35 000 runners is something you can only experience. Looks like I have a new event to try to get into at the Brickyard!

[@kartingtv8343]

very cool to do your first ever race at Indy will we be seeing you at elkhart? or possibly The Rock?

[@DavidLand91]

Trying to get a budget together for the Rock

[@kartingtv8343]

David Land I'll see ya there!

[@MarshallBurrell]

Congrats on doing your first race David!

[@DatDuckOfficial]

That’s awesome!do you hope to be a nascar driver?

[@NASCAR_Junk]

That was one big violent wreck

[@travisoliver2288]

I raced at the 2016 Battle at the Brickyard in Quartermidgets. It's so cool. The QM cars are pretty similar, except they are coil-based suspension with a roll-cage for ovals. USAC puts on some kick-ass shows. Keep at it David!! Also, my former car owner was teching cars on the oval side of the event, and said it was stupid hot. Probably not the best first go at it.

[@tomfreeman3640]

I couldn't pause this video, watched straight thru, you had me all in. Wonderful job documenting ur experience, and I was with you from the beginning. Stellar job. Thank for sharing it with us!!!!

[@GreatCdn59]

"...the race suit that was 2 sizes too big for my body" Just tell people you were going for the baggy "late-career-Jacques-Villeneuve" look ;)

[@triablenine7500]

Man, David! I did a 125cc Racing Day at Michigan International Speedway in May. Bet it wasn't as fun as this though. I brought a cart my friend and his dad made and raced in a little kart track in the infield and then went on the raceway for a Junior 13 Under Race.

[@Mjdecker1234]

Man david im super jealous man. Sure ive jever my driven anything like you did in this video, i only went on like little ones at the fair and stuff. The slow ones. Man wish i wanted to race when i was young. 100% a dream. Haven't finished the video yet, but good job either way

[@mapleboy0001]

great narrating job

[@michaelneuser4833]

That shit was dope. This was a good style of video. I enjoyed the commentary homie. I am curious though, how did the other cuthbertson racer finish? Keep on keeping killer.

[@atsp31]

I race Briggs 206 in the ignite class and I was there at Indy. The key to getting out of the corner is to get on the gas as soon as can because the 206 engines bog especially with low gearing. In corners like the hairpin you have to get on the gas before you get off the brake to keep the rpm's up. I recommend going to Margay Racing's website for future races because they have an arrive and drive program where you can rent a kart and race in the ignite spec series which is hands down the most competitive and closest racing. Under the Margay tent there's a lot of very experienced people willing to help.

[@tylerbowie7252]

You should race dirt go karts

[@dylanjom8233]

I hope they'll give you another ride in the future, David! Congrats at your first start of racing for reals! :P

[@tonygeinzer6034]

Will the LandSpeed Racing Machine make a trek to Brickyard Dirt and will we see Chris Forsberg do more than a few hot laps in a Sprint Car?

[@dukemcgerd3685]

Way to go David. That was awesome. I can’t wait for the next installment

[@gagegilbert2660]

Don't be down on yourself dude! You will soon be at the top of the field and take those experiences and use them to improve more than you could possibly imagine and you will succeed!👍

[@RiderLive154]

Hey man you can’t pay those guys back that’s for sure definitely keep saying thank you to them my dad was so nice to his sponsors when he was a professional motorcycle rider and he still gets free stuff so you can’t say thanks enough

[@sideslick1024]

You very clearly enjoyed this, David. It shows, and it made the video a joy to watch.

[@ShadowDDB1]

great vlog! and great driving for your first time! you should try and test drive a rotax max senior kart when you have some more experience. they are way more fun to drive and crazy fast!

[@richeisgruber7095]

Good job! Hell of an event to make your debut. I wish this could have happened 10 years ago

[@RalonsoF1]

KUDO, David!! For your INDY race aswell as for the video about it!

[@joemommasvids]

Wow the camera footage is gonna give me a seizure LOL! Awesome video though, man. Look forward to seeing more!

[@maxwellstephens140]

You coming back out for the 4th of July? I’m going to be racing there for the first time too but with a bit more karting experience

[@jfeal]

Remember people it's you, alot if reality "show" I wish I had mom and dad's credit card

[@chevypower22350]

My two best friends were in the 60 and 94 in your class. 60 was the one that gave you that monster push then ended up with a kart on top of him. Other than all the issues I'm glad you had a good time. If you ever get the chance, come out and race with us in the OVKA at G&J kartway. Hopefully we will see you again next year at the Battle.

[@DavidLand91]

Tell 60 thank you. That was badass!

[@tembangpadangilalang723]

At first, I thought you were a part of the Red Bull Driver Development Program 😂

[@jaredunderhill7291]

Great Job David! Glad I was able to help you out to get you there to something you have wanted to do your whole life!

[@vizualgaming3370]

I also had the chance to race at indy motor speedway. I drove an electric go kart which was super fun.

[@danielcurtis5179]

You got to race at Indy, that's just so damn badass! Great video btw, love this style!

[@DerekS75]

I wish you used different music during the beginning I don't think it really fit with what was going on

[@RKFAMTV]

Great video, felt like I was there watching it. Glad you got this experience.

[@bennyf1688]

We live here in NZ racing LO206, definitely going to come over and give this a go one day

[@maddybutyoutube]

Watching this video reminds me how much i love racing.

[@BlueJimmie48Fan]

So *THIS* was how Project 91 began! 👀

[@MxneyyyyGaming]

Congrats... I made a terrible decision not to do racing school that I regret and hope to do it still

[@UltimateGamer16]

This is what I want to do this is awesome u get to share this with us very interesting keep up the great video's

[@racer0695]

i race cars my friends went there in their cars but i moved out of that class of racing and unfortionatly i cant race there now unless nascar is on my side

[@TheNerd1584]

I race go karts, but not on asphalt road courses, I race dirt ovals. You should try it!

[@bdavis24fan]

This was awesome.

[@canadiancatgreen]

Being aware of what's happening around you also helped avoid the big crash

[@danieldemaras3099]

Come up to Canada next weekend David. Big Briggs race at Mosport.

[@gregginoza8959]

This is proof that David Land is a member of the Red Bull Junior Team

[@dingleberrys232]

This is such good coverage and just as good commentary. The problem with clutch might have been from having your foot on the accelerator and the break at the same time - that wears out the clutch. Or it could just be an old/duff clutch, but just thought I’d say. Are you allowed a helmet cam too? They proved some sick views. Also with this series are you allows to modify your engines? Like skim the heads, debaffle the exhaust etc?

[@DavidLand91]

My engineer said it was most likely faulty from the factory and unfortunately helmet cams are banned, but I might move the onboard to the front fairing for the next race.

[@luanfonseca9760]

Watching you here from Brazil, I love your gameplays!

[@Deeplycloseted435]

So cool! Thank for sharing with us. We are ALL jealous.

[@chevypower22350]

So are you running again this year? Registration just went live.

[@samijosephyahya3388]

Awesome. You're on the road to a Nascar, indycar, f1, or imsa career.

[@MattKerney]

Great video!! What an awesome experience to have!! Hope you continue to race!

[@almirolafan1094]

That is truly AWSOME congrats!

[@benlyda9781]

Will you be racing this again next year? if so I might have to come out to this race. I used to race with the Cuthbertson's in Circleville, a small track in Ohio. I have been racing nationals for the past few years but it would be great to experiance this track

[@DavidLand91]

Yes. Planning to. Hoping to run for a championship somewhere next year.

[@Kyle-zf8ll]

I love this video so much, how much do those karts cost and how much is the entry fee

[@tristane5023]

I race a bandelaro in and I remember the first time I drove its really nerve wrecking

[@dylanbaptista1103]

This is my dream race to do in the quarter midget ranks, hoping to do it next year

[@Stephen_Dumeyer]

Hey I saw Ava Davidson in this video she goes to my school and raced against ya

[@johnmack3497]

If you get your own firesuit you better have a big Smithfield logo on it

[@rshackelford4445]

Hey the team wants you back so your doing something right

[@cartermcfall5766]

1:53 I know that guy, he used to race in our club, his name is Joe ruch
