Larson is great fun to watch and listen to. Will go to the 500 when Kyle runs there. The mystery Man has taught me much, really appreciate you.

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Thanks Terry...and I really appreciate you! Thanks for taking the time to watch...HMM

[@dan7764]

I used to read Open Wheel Magazine and Marc Times. Thanks for all you do

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

I used to read those too! Plus Speed Sport and Mid-American Auto Racing News. Thanks! HMM

[@jeffrivers4735]

Kyle Larson shows what I like in racing, successful in open wheel, dirt or paved and also on the Cup Series. Don't see a lot of that anymore. Brings back the days of the 50s, 60s,and 70s.

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

No doubt...well said. So much respect for Larson. Thanks again, Jeff. HMM

[@tomchrisfield7348]

You can just tell how much Kyle Larson loves racing, rental cars, and commercial flights, he could just sit back and enjoy, but he'd rather race. Cool.

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

@@tomchrisfield7348 I hear you; he's such an awesome story...hope I get to interview him again...thanks Tom.

[@kurtfoulke5130]

Kyle Larson, Chris Bell & Alec Bowman are our modern day A.J. Foyts and everyone should be thankful when they show up at a track near you. The WOA tour brings the biggest pool of talent in all of racing.

[@tonyfranks5829]

Absolutely agree! It's so awesome to go to the tracks excited about who might be there.

[@manga12]

well back then thats was they did, maybe you might be able to group larson with foyt but thats not something you should throw around lightly , aj was an all time great, sure its great to see nascar guys that also can play in the dirt and laudable they havent forgot their roots, but the in the old days that is what they did and there were several racers racers, as well as had the abillity to tune a car, like foyt, andretti, or maybe parnelli jones, larson still has to win the 500 and I do wish to see him do so, both him and tyler courtney if the shot ever comes, but I know they won the other prestegious indy race the hoosier 100 which for now no longer can be done, maybe if someone wants to press the horsetrack in shelbyvill which is a dirt mile indeed we could run a 100 lap 100 mile dirt race, but usac and people would have to steep up for the costs of putting the temp fence around the track to catch the cars cuz it currently don thave a wall or guardrail strong enough to protect the crowd from the cars nor a catch fence. but larson I would make that comparision and maybe alex bell but foyt had very big shoes to fill with acomplishments.

[@kurtfoulke5130]

@@manga12 hahaha I just said that they were Modern Day Foyts, there will only ever be one Anthony Joseph Foyt Jr. Larson & Bell have had amazing racing careers while teenagers, they are still only in their late 20s. Foyt, Jones, Gurney, Andretti & Stewart are the Gold Standard of American racing. Racing may be safer in 2022 but it certainly isn't any easier & I appreciate the talent and dedication of today's Superstars as much as the ones from my youth.

Couldn't agree more, Kurt. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here! HMM

[@robertayers9424]

With this one, you brought back the anxiety I'd feel just prior to firing the car. Was I close enough with the set up, did I tighten everything, etc. Then you had me smelling the methanol as the car left the pits. You can really put the story together! Thanks again!

Thank you Don. Appreciate all you do. Been following Young Money ever since he started winning when he was very young. Right now he's the best and brightest driver out there !

Don this kid has that it factor, his sixth sense when he’s racing is incredible. This future hall of famer will probably rewrite the record books. Thanks Don, great interview again 😎

❤️❤️ Keep on doing what you’re doing! We love the interviews and the insight. If sprint car racing wants to avoid hitting a glass ceiling the drivers and teams need to be reminded that we need content to build relationships between the drivers, crews, sponsors and fans. We love seeing the sport grow and thrive. Thanks for putting yourself out there to shoot and produce content and for sharing these great stories! ❤️❤️❤️

You're always welcome; thanks for your support. Love the way you explained it, because I'm definitely putting myself out there, which is difficult for me. Thanks again! HMM

[@chuckg6039]

Hello again Don. Jen and I really enjoyed this video! It really gave us a nice reminder of our visit to the track last Friday night. You certainly have a nice ability to interview folks. We must have sat near you in the stands. We showed up as you zoomed the crowd. I talked to Johnny Gibson, Jacob Allen, Greg Wilson, David Gravel, and a few others. And of course, many many awesome folks as we tail gated. I know you enjoy talking to the less than well known Don. Maybe sometime you could interview say Bill Rose and/or Noah Gass. These guys hardly ever can make the A Main (without a provisional) yet they never give up. Bill is an older guy (57), while Noah is barely 18. Both full timer WOO drivers. What makes them do this? How are they funded? What are they trying to get out of the sport? Do they ever have doubts? What are their biggest challenges? I don't think I ever saw anyone talk to either Friday night. So again, really enjoyed this video. It will give folks a sense of what Attica is all about, and Ohio racing in general. Hope you continue to do more like this. Chuck and Jen

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Thanks again, Chuck. Just because you asked, I'm going to talk with Rose and Gass at my next opportunity. I love your questions too! Great finally meeting you! HMM

[@richrinehart1083]

Like Kyle said and I agree that his crew chief Paul Silva is one of the best when it comes to sprint cars and knowing where to set the car regarding the multiple variables that are the adjustable pieces on a sprint car chassis. Tire pressure alone can kill a right rear tire in a few laps if it's not where it needs to be based upon how wet the track is and how fast that moisture is going to be blown off and the track starts taking rubber. Paul and his guys have that car on KILL every time KL get pushed off in it. Can you imagine coming from a heavy full bodied stock car that has probably 1 horsepower per 5-6 pounds of car to a completely open bunch of tubing that has 1 horsepower for every 1.5 pounds of race car and just putting it on the floor and not lifting off the throttle, just grabbing some brake to set the car into the corner. A sprint car is what I think is the purest form of motorsports. The car is all mechanical systems, no electronics and no way to adjust on the car besides the wing getting moved but I don't think the wing is moved very much..If you get to a race track that is a 1/2 mile and you walk down to the farthest point you can, preferably right where they lay the car over and hit the cushion you will be amazed at how fast they are really traveling. A local half mile to me had a track record of 128+ mph average speed. Average speed. They are pulling 145+ mph down the straights and picking up the left front wheel, slightly twisting the tubing due to the torque the engine produces, spinning at high rpm and creating the incredible power they have. Peace

[@shuttlepodone1707]

Do sprint cars have an automatic transmission or do they have to shift gears? Great interviews!

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

As I understand it, sprint cars are either in gear or not. The driver shifts the car into gear (one gear)...then the push truck pushes the sprint car off while it's still in gear to fire the engine. Thanks for watching! HMM

[@bobblair4046]

Great job as usual H.M.M. Larson is an amazing driver. I don't think a lot of people realize the skill and effort it takes to do compete like he does. He does have awesome equipment which helps, but he's super talented. Great video thanks for your efforts

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Thanks Bob; I appreciate your interest. No doubt Larson's in great equipment...but as you know, at the end of the day, Larson always steps up and does his part...and does it arguably better than any driver in America...HMM

[@CardCollectorCody]

Can definitely tell Larson wasn’t getting much sleep! Looked absolutely exhausted getting outta that sprint after his practice. Just hope he doesn’t burn himself out younger than most.
