Couldn’t wait for your next video, yes what a great win you beat all the Canadians man you had me going crazy Mike so happy for the two of you you both deserved it so much along with the crew , YES momentum now keep it going !

[@productboy3187]

Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.

[@dirttrackuntold]

Very true!

[@The340king]

Wolfie said it best, "One day you're a hero and the next day you're a zero!" You will bounce back and be a hero again.

Thank you!

55% WOW! Come on people, your already watching just click the button. They do all the work for our entertainment.

[@andrelongchamps5668]

Great video again Mandee hope the wins start coming for you Mike looking forward to seeing you in Brockville next week

[@dirttrackuntold]

See you there!

[@1937fordcoupe]

we called them glory hounds .only around when things go good,

[@stephenrwilliamsjr]

Another awesome video Mandee Mahaney and it was bad luck I have confidence mike will bounce back and win again and hello everyone and Allie too

[@allen8756]

Well, I guess it is pretty nice when you run like you do and still make a living out of it. It is hard for you Mandy when your Brother and Father run so well.

[@chevy358ci]

I feel like he needs to check the brake bias or the rf brake shut off. Seems like to much front brake. Big push when entering in and hard braking. Thanks for the video. It's just the highs and lows of racing! Keep the head up. You guys will find the issue.

[@dirttrackuntold]

Thank you for the suggestion

[@jeffwayman8231]

Mike, are you running the same car at Albany every week or have you tried a different car or motor combination? Maybe try going back to bars and trying it instead of coils?? Just want to see you start kicking some ass you deserve it...if I lived closer to you I'd love to get involved. Good luck in Canada!

[@dirttrackuntold]

We run the same car

[@jeffwayman8231]

@dirttrackuntold everybody is probably on coils, throw a hailmary and put it backs on bars, can't hurt

[@jeffwayman8231]

Maybe the chassis isn't true?! Could it be bent somewhere thats not obvious or flexed that it isn't responding to the changes? Just throwing it out there, I'm sure Mike and the guys are already thinking about all of this

[@robmason7466]

Like I said to Billy the good thing about being out of points is that you can start experimenting. Idk what the car situation is but it might be worth pulling out an old car and seeing if the same issues are going on. Mb see if Billy can come up and swap cars one night and compare notes and ideas.

[@swhall15]

Hang in there, no where to go but forward

[@dirttrackuntold]

Very true!

[@waterlooboy]

Up and downs are part of it! Work on what has been working and tweak from there! Good Luck!

[@dirttrackuntold]

That's the plan!

[@kirkdahl5892]

I don't usually scroll the comments but wow

[@raollie]

Some times going back to the basics can help. I know that team 35 will figure it out and be running up front soon. Stay safe and happy motoring.

[@dirttrackuntold]

Thank you

[@roberteaves5108]

People who only help people when they are doing well are called “fair weather friends.” At least that’s what I have heard them called. Good luck next week!

[@dirttrackuntold]

Yes 🙌🏻 thank you Robert. Spot on my friend

[@medwards263]

Glory riders

[@jeffreypatton3321]

Just keep digging it will soon change for the better

[@nclancer9570]

Great shots of E'town! One factor not often mentioned is the depth of the Friday night field at Malta. It's very balanced and strong with virtually 20 different cars capable of Top 5's (with a little racing luck). When Mike starts mid-pack he would need to pass 10 good cars to finish 5th and some nights that is just not possible. Keep trying different things and one spectacular evening the stars will align and victory lane will beckon! Good luck in Canada! Poutine Power!!

[@dirttrackuntold]

Thanks for sharing!

[@JoeMama-gu2zx]

Last night on g4ce mention Mike mahaney

[@nathangannon5933]

Just look at the face of the driver on a night that seems unsuccessful and yet he still smiles. That is a man that defines humility. Thank you Mike for leading by example even though you may not want to. Great video Mandee. Keep on keepin on gentlemen it will come.

[@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on]

Watching this video the shock package is way off for a ruff track. May need to try some different manufacture shocks. Integra's are great for a ruff track. Both Stewart and Shepard run them. In dirt late models they make a big difference.

[@dirttrackuntold]

We love our DIGS!

[@rusty1597]

If you start giving the race results, at least the top 5 or 10, I'll subscribe. A simple list at the end.

[@dirttrackuntold]

You can check the tracks facebook pages for that type of information. DTU focus on our drivers, not others :)

[@rusty1597]

@@dirttrackuntold Be nice to show the other drivers some respect.....Guess not

[@MichaelBrown-um8qc]

Mandy , they are called the " lime lighters" . What I saw . Weak forward traction / speed out of the hole .

[@dirttrackuntold]

Thank you, Michael

[@TommyAlanRaines]

Mike is such a happy guy even when its a crummy it is what it is race; always the best of luck Mike. I was thinking I seen someone have small fans for GoPros to keep them from over heating. Keep Orange Crushing It!

[@dirttrackuntold]

Good idea thank you as always Tommy!

[@terrybrannan2685]

Tremont has similar problems. Maybe the track itself. Don't engineer yourself out of the game. Keep calm, think about it. One change at a time. Stay focused.

[@Ellie-pg3sp]

I don't really think Tremont likes the new cars and at this point is just riding it out. If he wins a race he's gonna retire then and there instead of waiting for September. Track is a different issue. Last month they were putting a chemical down at 10 in the morning and I think it made it worse

[@dirttrackuntold]

Staying positive!

[@charliewhite3992]

Mike hasn't figured out the new set up and is just missing it a little bit if they are all running about the same times and it's probably something small that'll give him that edge again

[@umpmod28]

Fair weather fans or support.

[@toddzelichowski9140]

Boy oh.Boy, One of those nights where nothing would work , track was rutty in spots. Yourpit guys support him no matter what, With Mike attitude being great, guys.want to be around him and be helpful. You guys will figure out i know it. Hoping to see you in Brockville, and You did well in the furst two races here in Canada, so up here to get it done here. 🏁 Be welland Drive safe!!! Thank you for a great video Mandee

[@dirttrackuntold]

Thank you Todd for the support

[@nathandingman6846]

Bring back Jenny!😂

[@dirttrackuntold]

She will be back don't worry!

[@Taxi2You]

Not a driver here but looks like his timing is off. Driving too deep into the corners causing a push with late rotation that results in being late back on the throttle. You guys will get it figured out and kill it the rest of the season. You got this!

[@dirttrackuntold]

Thank you Tim

[@arrowkart4j]

We had guys that would only show up on race day,not spending any time during the week working on the car. Then they would be the know it all at the track. We would run them off after a few races. Hanger Ons we called them.

[@dirttrackuntold]

Super frustrating

[@BurnyChaplin]

I'd check out the shocks on the right side seemed to be rolling over a lot and rebounding too much check out the suspension especially on the right side when they roll over too much they tend to get what we call RR tight and cause a push in the middle of the corner something is not right with her it's really hard to tell from here I'd be all over the springs and especially the shocks good luck chin up and try again

[@paulqschwartz8593]

Mandee and mike. Keep smiling. I haven't seem Mike's dad Jim in your videos last couple races. Hope Mikes bouncing ideas off his father. He also has one of the best dirt racers ever as a father in law. Hope he talks to him about his struggles this season. Maybe Billy can notice some small detail to help Mike. Mike works so hard and deserves success. Such a gentleman driver. Mandee your great at your job also. Hope the wins come soon.

[@dirttrackuntold]

Thank you for your support Paul

[@susanmcgalliard7885]

There pulling him off the corners bad , it’s like you all got to high of gear in there or your motor is laying down , just nothing off the corners at all !

[@MichaelBrown-um8qc]

It's all racing & great fun & sport👀🥂 . Lots of times , there's more excitement in the back half of the pack . Mike was lucky for any chances to try the track top or bottom & stay in one piece . I think in the high heat for this one . Visibility👀, 🤔 It was a total tire & gear game , I think I would have ran thin skins on rear, 🤔sort of like the days of Malta go carts . Your competition is top Quality Good , knowing that track & it's keeper 🍷 . It's the "Malta Reputation" & Very tall Flag over the entire east coast . Been there , no body wants to see the same car win every week . 🤔 well .... Sponsors would ....... Over all , she just didn't stick long enough . As always, thank you for a great MALTA night of fun 🏁🍷🏁

[@medwards263]

I watched from home last night so can’t really comment on what the car looked like cause the coverage of the race doesn’t cover the back running cars. It could be just a matter of 10ft when he lets off the hammer.

[@17TravisP]

Hi Rich!!! Hope married life is treating you well. Awesome video as always Mandee despite the finish. You guys just keep you head up and you’ll get in figuared out.

[@Luke_81]

Mik has such a good attitude all the time, and at the end of the day that will pay big dividends at some point. He seems so mentally calm, a lot of guys would have been coming out of the car raging and MF'ing everything. That'll work out!

[@edstanislaw2273]

Sell sell get off the dirt.....asphalt late model or tour modified perhaps k n north or cars

[@mikeoshea1266]

Mike, you need to get that car more stable, the car is riding on 2-wheels most of the time. Your off throttle pushing in the middle of the corner, and your loose off the corner. Your bouncing up and down on the right rear like it was a pogo stick. The attitude of the car is horrible. You need to start thinking outside the box. Jack Johnson used to tell me to change whatever it takes to get better, and that's how we both played it. Sometimes the changes were good, sometimes not so good, but we wouldn't come back to the track unless we thought we'd made it better.

[@racer44x]

Mike has to decide if he wants to be a crew chief or a driver because he is way to involved with everything. Tell your crew what you want and walk away go bullshit with someone and come back and just drive
