[@richardmcatee7963]

Awesome Job driving Carly. Keep your head high Young Lady. You are becoming quite a threat to the competition.

[@jimwaddell8163]

Be Proud of that Carly n thanks for the ride Team love what im seeing.

[@Mikesroadtrip-ec5kp]

Great job! Breathe deep.

[@burlapX]

👍. just keep on keeping on

[@13thworker45]

Hard knocks happen. You are coming along. Think ahead in the outlaws you Carly are going to be a force to contend with. Please control your flusters and stay safe. You and your brother have rejuvenated me about racing. I really enjoy being in the car with you. Again thank you for your channel.

[@stephenpierce4804]

Great job Car keep Digging

[@raymond3803]

2:17 That's pretty damn fast for a 305.

[@dbsnyder4503]

You really had a great night Carley!! You gained some valuable experience. Ran up front. And were pretty smooth too! Ya got ran over. Plain and simple. Go on to the next one. Best of luck young lady.

[@mikepriceup]

My friend that in car to start the show was awesome! You may have something there that other drivers will want to use!

[@chrismitchell9338]

Glad she got some time running up front. Keep running up there and more wins will come. Glad it was just a drag link. 🙂👍

[@FanoFinz]

Don't sweat it Carly!! You're doing great! You're going to get better and better every race! You've got great racing skills!! Holmes Racing will be a name no one will forget!!!

I was so excited!! Damn !! You did great anyway frfr. I was rooting you on all the way. You did great

[@davidjessee7701]

She done great!!!!!!! Got RAN over.....

[@johnlyster1523]

Camera mounted on nose looking back at left front was WAY cool....more of that plz

[@TannerHolmes]

I will do it more for sure!

[@ChrisCards]

I picked the best night to go, real fun night of racing... Wish the track was better but from a fan perspective all that lapped traffic made things interesting.Forte just picked a spot and shot it through. Easy to do when going for the lead, not so much when you're trying to lap cars.. like you said, almost better to be 2nd or 3rd! Great vid!

[@gavinnnhd7687]

I went to see the monster trucks at slag it speed way a few days ago and they even let us ride in the trucks

[@TannerHolmes]

Those look like fun!

[@justinprince9507]

Great job Carly. Sorry it didn’t end well but my daughter is rooting for you

[@jasonsrader3689]

Ok. One thing I like about how you both race is that you are clean. These guys just seem to run all over the place and take out cars. I get it’s just racing is about beating people driving, not tearing up their equipment. Amazing job getting that car in the A Main and working through traffic. I believe she could have definitely got on the podium.

[@cheddydoit0404]

That other guy must have daddy’s money to take care of it. That was dirty driving

[@jasonsrader3689]

@@cheddydoit0404 I agree. She had the wheels in front of him

[@chrismitchell9338]

Check out 22 CD trunking it at Waynsfield last night. How do you find your own lane in the middle. And park it. Rocket show.

[@lieutenantcliff]

Question for you Tanner, it sounded like 600 micro's in the background when you were talking after the heat race. Am I right?

[@travishanner9970]

Dwarf cars. They run either a 1200 or 1500 cc motorcycle engine, so they sound like mini sprints.

[@TannerHolmes]

Those were Dwarf Cars! They sound the same!

[@anthoyellis5944]

Happy birthday to Carly.

[@haydensFishing]

[@chaserchaserspeedracer]

Heartbreaker ending. Good run girl. Put it behind you.

[@gregsimon9061]

Carly you did a fantastic job, that track was tricky, if you missed the bottom by an inch it was exciting and slippery. Showing her the tapes will be great for her to learn it’s just laps that she needs end it will all come together. Great job Carly so proud of you. That guy did a bonsai on her and he was coming through no matter what. It was his fault not hers.

[@bigfrank3113]

Your doing a great job Carly. Keep it up and don't let the guys push you around. You Rock Girl.

[@edarnott2009]

Still a very good showing.

[@BigBRebooted]

Keep your head up kiddo, you have nothing to be ashamed of. I know that you were disappointed with your finish but you drove a good race. Regardless of where you finish, if both of you guys keep putting in the effort and keep learning, the good finishes will come. Everybody gets knocked down, it's how you rebound that makes all the difference. Seeing the pure frustration and pounding on the steering wheel once you came to a stop, that shows where your heart is at. Keep that fire burning! ~ A KZbin fan of both of you guys from the east coast. Tanner, Great video editing btw! Nicely done!

[@TannerHolmes]

Thank you for the kind words! Really appreciate it!

[@AXIDNT66]

That was some of the trickiest lap traffic I've seen in a while, even guys with a ton of experience were struggling with it so I'd say she did great. Forte is always good there and has years of experience (been watching him since I was a kid), so keeping up with him through the traffic is quite the accomplishment someone in their first season in a big car. Also for whatever it is worth, I prefer watching the whole race onboard (as long as the lens is clear of course)... It helps us feel like we are along for the ride and seeing how the race is developing more accurately.

[@TannerHolmes]

Will note that about the onboard! And ya Forte was really quick! He is good at Willamette!

[@VanPelt408]

Great job Carly! It’s been fun to watch your progress!

[@jeffhausmann7561]

That was a great run until the unfortunate contact! Keep your head up Carly!

[@loganprickett4398]

Anyone know what she was doing at the beginning of her heat? Was she adjusting shocks?

[@graemerandall2123]

You can adjust the top wing front to back to get more drive . 👍

[@TannerHolmes]

Adjusting the top wing!

[@yrdGBA]

Absolutely amazing job girl! Up on the wheel again. You will get better with lapping traffic as you go. Listen to your brother, he is pretty slick at getting past the lap cars. Man I love watching you kids drive. Be safe and good luck.

[@larryprobus3263]

Carly drivin’ that car..That lap traffic was soooooooo thick..But knowledge will come from mistakes..Great driving,great advice n brotherly love by TH and always...A quality,quality video !!

[@shorttrackthing6919]

Awesome carly got it on your birthday eh

[@joellajuett1060]

12:10 Carley got out of that car like she was on a mission to go kick someone in the 3rd member.

[@delmarcunningham4516]

Wouldn't blame her.

[@DerekDoxtador44D]

Driver who clipped her: new mission survive

[@-o-The-Duke-o-]

That was a tough gamble any which way....Carly we're proud of you..... sometimes even when you're on top things can fall apart..... That's what the races are all about.... there will be times when you may be in 4th and the top 3 get into it and you wind up ahead..... These things happen. Keep your head up and know you have a ton of fans, an awesome crew and your smarts behind you. Keep it fun and God bless.

[@TannerHolmes]

Thank you!

Dang Carly you definitely had the better car keep your head up keep it rolling

[@islandcharlie7132]

Great job Carly. Beats making Dad run.

[@duaneshamblin6685]

great job, I see improvement all the time with you and Tanner. Those things happen when you get someone pushing too hard, I think you have more experience than that person. And if you don't get mad when that happens, then you didn't want it bad enough. I we can see that you do. Good Job.

[@matchthat5053]

Do they make a nerf bar to protect the draglink? Good driving Carly Holmes.

[@TannerHolmes]

I'm not sure, I would have to research and see. It would be difficult to do.

[@geothefisher]

Carly, you looked really good. Lap traffic experience is valuable, and you got some tonight. As long as you continue to take all these pieces of knowledge and keep putting them together, the puzzle will all come together. You as well, Tanner. Always watch what your sister does, just like she is watching and learning from you. The two of you actually have somewhat of an advantage of getting twice the information with both of you racing. I can't wait to see what the next three races brings!!! Good luck Carly!!!

[@TrapperScottyAlaskan]

Poop happens. That was ugly lap traffic. That was a black flag move. You were killing it 22c

[@TannerHolmes]

Yes the traffic was thick!

[@lucasdaniels2880]

Poor carly,Carly, can't seem to get a break but her luck will turn around and there is alot of wins in her future

[@jeffbooth6065]

Carley you are a winner and it is always frustrating when you run in lapped traffic. Even though you did not win the experience you gained will pay off you and your crew did a great job tonight and you still were able to put it on the trailer a little wears for wear but still in one peace

[@tfatcher]

Carly, great job. I watch a lot of dirt track and I have never seen such a gaggle of lap traffic so clogged up. Then you got run over. You showed true grit coming back from the night before. Love it!

[@darrenwolf8801]

Awesome job Carly can’t help it when a squirrel drives over your front end. Tanner I liked the camera placement on the left front that was different-kool 👍✌️deuces

It was a combo of both lol

[@luckychopp402]

Great run Carly, bummer on the slide job that ended your night 🙁 Thanks again for the video Tanner

[@howardwest2707]

Carly did an awesome job despite the ending. Good learning experience too on how to deal with the traffic. Also good advice on sometimes protecting the race line and following traffic. Especially if the top is covered by traffic and one of the lines isn't as favorable. Basically force them to pass you in the junk if necessary. Both of you keep up the awesome work and keep digging.

[@richardmourdock2719]

Very, very impressive. Granted, the pack of cars was her nemesis here, but as others have noted, it's better to be passing the back markers than being a back marker. Great job Carley....My favorite moment frankly, was when you ripped off the wheel and bailed out, obviously upset. Racing is about passion expressed as emotion and maturity earned through experience. You've got the emotion....the the experience is coming fast. Cheering for you. Look forward to seeing you on an Indiana track soon.

[@riaanvrey2409]

Good driving Carly that oak just clearly run over you as if you were not there

Hey Carley try not jump out of the car as fast as you did your more safer in it than out of it, you werent that far off the track wait for someone to get to you first unless you are on fire, I'm just saying, good racing tho bit of bad luck but that's racing, take care mate, winged warriors 🇳🇿NZ cc

The only reason she jumped out so quick was because their was what looked to be small fire. But it was put out quickly (just header burning rubber)
