GREAT NIGHT GOES SOUTH IN HICKORY! Double Duty with both cars at Hickory Motor Speedway! April 30th

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

Update: The racetrack has decided to allow all drivers to compete in the limited division following this weekend!

[@viewericeberg]

I figured that was always an option for the late model drivers. I was wrong.

[@alexanderw8505]

That’s good to hear. If they hadn’t let you run the limited, y’all would be more than welcome to bring it up here to North Wilkesboro in August. 😉

[@jeffsmith2070]

Who would make the decision about which drivers were allowed to compete. Sounds to me like Hickory would open a huge can of worms with rules like these. If you can’t keep up then work harder and throw more money at your program. Hmmmm maybe they could tie your left hand behind your back or duct tape one eye closed to even the field!

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

@@jeffsmith2070 i think it was more of the track trying to please everyone but after Saturday they realized it should only be one way and that’s allow everyone to race like it always has been

[@jeffsmith2070]

@@LandonHuffmanRacing They could never please everyone so if they wouldn’t let you race then you and your fans would be pissed! Make a fair rule and stick to it. If you had lapped the field their decision may have been different, LOL!

[@michaeldeppa8169]

Would be neat to have video diving into all the difference between late model stock, pro late model, limited late model, super late model, etc. Chassis differences, motor, etc. Seems to be a lot of different configurations.

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

I can do that later this week! I’ve got a video coming out tomorrow of our tear down yesterday from the damage

When I used to help a friend of mine on his car, we had a night like yours. It just made us more determined then ever. We ended up taking home the championship that year. Keep up the good work, I can see brighter days ahead.

I hope we trend in that same direction!

[@vaughnfisher1879]

Tough luck, but you gained two new fans. My wife and I love the local tracks and when you stepped up and took the blame for the crash that sold us on your character, we already knew you were a wheelman watching you take everyone on the high side two weeks ago. Keep us posted when you can get things fixed and back on track.

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

Thanks for the support!

[@dougwonner4864]

Ah damn Landon so sorry the car is a mess. Hopefully up and going sooner than later. With all the problems you were still kicking ass. Keep grinding brother. Kinda fill us in on the next steps to getting the car fixed if you can.

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

I’ll have a video out tomorrow on the tear down!

[@SomethingRad]

With the GoPro, maybe play around with some different angles? Would it be possible to mount somewhere inside the car? The helmet cam is still great, but maybe some different angles mixed in would be cool too! Just an idea, loving the content!

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

I already ordered a flex mount for the roll bar to change things up! I’m on top of it 🤘🏻

[@robteaster2446]

We missed last Saturday. Hope to be there this Saturday. Hopefully the damage will be fixed and you'll be running. Hate to see your car trashed that. Glad you were ok. Seems like you guys are bringing a rocketship every week. Good luck.

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

Thanks Rob, we are trying our best to get back to track

[@kylemorse271]

Awesome videos shit luck! Stumbled on ya because you run dynamic shocks also. Really dig your stuff it's alot like how my team operates out here in co. We are a small underfunded team running way faster than our budget allows. Picking up other people's old stuff and beating them with it is exactly how we operate. Keep up the hard work man there isn't many people left who work as hard and race as hard as guys like you do.

[@travishanner9970]

NOTHING feels better than outrunning the "Hot Dogs" with stuff they throw out!!! I'm with you, Kyle...that's what I love about Landon.. no "Daddy's money prima Donna" here, just a group of friends that don't mind getting hot and dirty and getting it done!!!

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

Thanks dude I appreciate it. Y’all keep digging out there! If you are ever in my neck of the woods don’t be afraid to come say what’s up!

[@nrb8780]

My mind is still blown on the whole limited situation... how dare somebody be faster than everyone else, no no no can't have that lmao

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

The track is evaluating the rule now and I think I’ll be allowed to continue racing in the division. Especially since it’s obviously a good thing to allow everyone to compete

Great video Landon, sorry for the bad luck. Hope you can get it back together. Could cover cost roughly to fix it. Or something you would rather not disclose on camera? Hope you're ok. Seemed violent on video.

About a $3000 repair job roughly, possibly more. That’s on the very low end of estimations

this(the you are too fast rules on the fly) is why I will never crew chief another car at hickory Had a really talented kid that had never been in a LM before and his grandpa managed to scrounge enough money together to buy us what we HAD to have. We went to practice Friday by the end of the day we were 2 tenths faster than anyone else the last two weeks(and 100% legal) Came back Saturday and poof you guys have to carry an extra 150 lbs Now that wouldn't be the end of the world for a big team with spares and scales at the track but for a team that had nothing we had no hope of rebalancing ride heights, springs, shocks etc and scaling a car with 3 guys in under1 hr Guess what we were junk(bottoming out etc no surprises there hell we struggled just to get heights and weights for tech. Took what should have been at worst a showcase of this young man's ability and more likely a win and possible sponsor and turned it into a nightmare.

[@kerryflatt5391]

When you start your entry to the corner or "angle in", her front bumper is already at or past your door (which you can clearly see at 21:15) but you "expect her to give you more room"? When should she have backed off to let you in, halfway down the back stretch or off turn two. And you think I'm the one that doesn't know how this works, lol.

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

I expected her to also turn for the corner at that point. It isn’t about the straight away, it’s about where I predicted the car inside of me to be on corner entry. She was holding me out for entry which is fine, i just predicted it wrong. Never once said i expected her to lift. I just predicted to have another couple inches of space as we turned in.
