I Went Back To OVAL ROOKIES In iRacing! Here's What Happened.

[@Chrius]

I just noticed that the guy screaming at 8:32 is the one on the yellow car, and not the one spinning

Ashton's screams are hilarious.

I prefer how it was before honestly

[@PjotrStroganov]

Nah, a bit too self aware for me. I guess I’ll catch the livestreams and leave the abridged version for the edgelords.

[@Emanicas]

7:33 I didn't like the editing here :( I didn't like the slow motion because that's less exciting to me and worse, the view being blocked by another overlaid shot. Perhaps just have us watch each shot separately one after the other. I want to see both of those shots because they look like they'd both be great and exciting on their own. On second viewing, the overlaid and slow motion have their merits so I'm not sure. Everything else was great and I enjoyed the video tons. Loved the screaming too xD

I wish dirt oval was more popular on iRacing. It's so fun and the dynamic changes in the track really make for an awesome race it's not about who the fastest driver is but who is the best at adapting to the changing environment.

[@hi_c.v7289]

Irl dirt racing is fucking awesome I would totally recommend going to a race if possible

[@TheCloudCreation]

@@hi_c.v7289 I used to race 360 sprints, it was by far the favorite racing I've done. Chucking a 900lbs car with 900hp into a sharp turn at 160mph and just hoping it sticks is the best feeling ever.

[@hi_c.v7289]

@@TheCloudCreation how much did it cost for a motor? I’ve talked to a couple people who run late models they say they can cost upwards of $80k

[@nickb2049]

the problem is most people who play iRacing just see it as "hurr durr its an oval, you only turn left."

[@TheCloudCreation]

@@hi_c.v7289 It only cost about $5000 for the motor because I built it all in house. I would just got a 358 block, order the parts I needed and milled out the rest. Building a motor is not for everyone, but back when I did it 6 or so years ago, most of the field would make about 800hp whereas I would get almost 900hp because I was able to push my compression ratio up to 16:1 by carefully shimming the pistol walls and using a special face head of the pistol that disturbed the fuel in a more efficient way than typical flat faced heads do. The real difficult part for me and why I had to stop was the time sync required after every race because I'd have to strip the motor down after almost every race and re tune the motor to keep it operating at 100% because such high power output in a small block chevy is difficult to maintain the tolerances have to be so tight.

[@ryancaldwellracing]

Yeah, the sr system applied to dirt oval is a little flawed. Dirt oval classes do fewer laps than paved oval, and racing on dirt, contact is generally a given. It is especially an issue when someone spins in front of you mid corner. You often can't see them spin, and even if you do see them spin, taking evasive action is much harder than on paved oval or road.

[@codyjarvis]

The dirt oval contact is definitely buffed though. You can make pretty good contact with others and walls and it be a 0x when on pavement that would have been a 2x or 4x

[@ryancaldwellracing]

@@codyjarvis True, depending on the car. Late Models, UMP Mods, and the new Big Block Mods you can make decent contact. The Sprint Cars and Midgets not as much.

[@dkmotorracingnz8010]

I would say that if you have or develop an eye for it, you can see a spin (or heavy oversteer/ sudden rotation) going into a corner that would then happen in the middle or exit of a corner. A very fine art it is.

[@d3Rm0Nk]

Three people instantly saying they'll get better with time is the spirit we all could use more of ... that was actually a really wholesome rookies race ... wth

[@cozymonk]

@4:20 Although I'm not an oval fan, growing up watching NASCAR with my dad taught me that the outside is faster in oval racing because you can carry more speed and things like apex's are less important. I guess the idea is that the amount you'd have to slow down to turn left on the inside of the bank outweighs the distance you save. edit: I wanna add you can hear the co-driver telling Jimmy to "clear high" and stay "outside" throughout the whole video. I think that's a hint.

[@39KHall]

"Stay high." *KROENCH* "Not that high."

[@randomgamerguy135]

as someone who races speedway in real life, the realisation @8:15 about the leaf springs is actually true, to a point. They only use one leaf spring, so it does almost nothing, however if does do the secondary job of leaf springs in keeping the rear axle centered without the use of a panhard rod and whatnot. They still use shocks and coil springs, since the leaf spring's only use it to keep the rear solid axle in position.

You do know that nascar is like hockey. You can pretty much do anything that you would do in a no damage race, including pit maneuvering other drivers. Thats considered a racing incident

There’s still “racing etiquette” it’s just pretty much don’t wreck someone on purpose. If you do expect them to get you back. You can still get penalized if it’s too egregious or dangerous

thats honestly one of the reasons i stopped watching nascar so many years ago. the fact that you can get away with shit like that makes it feel so much less like actual racing/

Awesome to see you giving the dirt racing a go. You figured it out well from the race you showed. Its all about finding that line that's fastest for you as the track changes. I'd definitely recommend checking out some World of Outlaws Sprintcar and Late Model video footage and see how they race.

[@kevinvinton5752]

Some advice, Jimmy, for the next time you run on dirt. If the dirt looks a little rough and doesn't have a sheen, it has a lot of moisture, which means it has grip. If the dirt has a sheen, there is less moisture there, and has therefore "slicked off", which means there isn't any grip there. Typically, you'll find the most grip in two places on a dirt track; up top on the cushion, and down low, near the tractor tires or inside wall, depending on layout. Where you choose to run as the track slicks off is entirely dependent on your skill and intestinal fortitude, as running the top an a track like Knoxville could mean brushing against the outside wall. Also, "Pushing the cush", or running the top, is quite a gamble in and of itself, as one mistake can send you into the wall at race speed. As anyone who has raced would know, this does nothing to help the performance of the car. If you don't feel comfortable with the idea of flirting with disaster, I suggest that you run the bottom as much as possible, as you'll still be able to be fast, while also get a chance to learn how the car handles in comparison to tarmac. Anyway, keep up the good work, mate, and don't be afraid to run dirt again.

[@TomBoi]

The moment you get into a dirt oval lobby with people that know how to drive, it greats really intense. Probably my most intense races involve the 410 Sprint on any oval, but especially the bullring quarter milers get really intense as any part of the track is fair game on running it.

[@jeffreyclifton9928]

Jimmer. Just a couple quick tips. 1. In the Street Stock. ALWAYS start in third. 2. In the Dirt Street Stock. Try not to saw the wheel too much. That's more of a general racing tip. It's kind of obvious that smoother will always be faster. If the car feels tight, blip the brake in the corner to get the rear end to rotate more.
