50th Annual Feedom 76 At Grandview Speedway

[@holidayiv4856]

I miss Grandview speedway terribly 😕

[@danjohnston1334]

DAMN MIKE THAT THING WAS HAULING MAJOR ASS.........

[@jerrydavis1191]

Mike was on a rail, that is sickening.

[@stephenrwilliamsjr]

Hello mandee and Mike awesome video from your airborne speedway fan !

[@dirttrackuntold]

Hey, thanks!

[@markfishkin271]

THANKS Mandee for taking a selfie with my daughter Julia for me. I haven't been able to get to a track this year as the covid virus hit me hard. I was hospitalized for 74 days but warching your videos helped me get thru it and they have helped in my slow recovery period. This is probably the first year I haven't been to a dirt track in 57 years, as I grew up across the street from the old Reading Fairgrounds. Thanks again.

[@dirttrackuntold]

I'm so sorry to hear that. It was so nice meeting your daughter. I hope you rest up and get well soon!!!

[@terrypollard1673]

Keep your head up dear, there will be better days. Thank you for the video

[@kevinking7321]

Bad luck sucks It's nights like these that make the good nights so much better......why dose it always seem that they run the best just before they go up

[@mms19lb]

sorry about the tough luck the guys had last night...qualifying was really tough ..11 cars in a heat race with 4 qualifying..a lot of good cars and drivers didn't make it. Another great video Mandee, really appreciate it...love that rear view from the top of the roll cage.

[@dirttrackuntold]

Thank you!

[@pauldriver1359]

your night there reminded me of why I quit oval racing. Some success for sure but large amounts of money and expectations only to be shredded by huge disappointments and failures, so often, none of your own doing. Got tired of the heart break and moved on to another form of racing. When you go home mad, sad, disappointed more often than happy, its time to find another venue. You guys rock and keep the videos coming.

[@maxboya]

What are the huge disappointments and failures? You can’t win in everything. You talk of a perfect world which we live very far from.

First time I was helping on a crew for the sixer. Man that's a longggg day. My hats off to you guys all that traveling. Just helping on a crew at Grandview weekly is one thing but traveling is crazy. Grandview has it's reputation and its always tough. I'm surprised you're dad didn't make the trip over for this. Was this the first year he hadn't raced Grandview?

[@eugenekase284]

I need to say thank you to mandy. She is a professional in what she does. She took about 5 to ten minutes out of her time just to talk to me at the end of the night. She was trying again to find her gopro. Again thank you mandy.

[@dirttrackuntold]

You're so kind. Sorry if I seemed a little distracted at the time but I do appreciate the kind words! Hopefully catch you at the races again soon

[@davidhepburn1874]

Sorry for the dual bad luck :-(

[@MoparJunky]

What a bummer when it rains it pours. Looking forward to a big win next time.

[@BrotherJay93002]

Man... Mike was flying in his heat..

[@jerrydavis1191]

Billy was passing multiple cars until he hit the wall so something went away. I feel you Mandie, love dirt racing, but it's always much more fun when 1 of my crew is in it.

[@CHARLIE35348]

Well those things happen keep smiling and turning left 😊

[@nickhoffman5524]

Mike you were flying, sorry to see that happen! Billy drove his heart out also. Keep the chin high!

[@edsorenson8212]

Mandee, you are so right. This sucks! I really hope it's going better today at Fonda with the 33. Sorry guys!

[@teddysgunshop2318]

Great racing keep moving forward 👍🇺🇸

[@burnychaplin4601]

The set up for the heat in Mike's car was spot on back in the gas immediately and flying daggone that car was rollin bad luck bug got you you got plenty of years to win but when you are Superman and the engine let's go AAHHHHHHHHHHH that's all I can say you guys are still great all of you

[@alkennedy1124]

I want more of the music 🎶 all through your vlogs please you are the rock star of modified world vlogs, do you guys work regular jobs, ??? Nice 👍 what happens when it get cold and frozen, you do any racing on lakes ( frozen) or other, kool thanks y’all BigAl California.

[@maxboya]

Never mind video starts at 5:20

[@alkennedy1124]

Hay mandee, if you put some hanging little wires , ( like piano wire with some nuts tied to the ends ) and fix them to the top of the GoPro camera 📷 tie the tops on the top edges of the camera,and let the other ends hang down about an inch below the bottom of the cameras ,they will swing back and forth and keep the mud of of the lenses, don’t use a nut apostrophe heavy as to hurt and thing , it is the same Siri is hanging chains in front of the screen in front of the radiators to keep the dirt off the screen and out of the radiator in the front of the car it’s the same theory, ok 👍 try it , kool thanks y’all BigAl California.

[@dirttrackuntold]

Wow... interesting thought on that one

[@williamjames6835]

Wow....Mike looked great....darn bad luck about the motor. Hope the track finds the GoPro and sends it to you. Hope to see you, Mike, and the rest of the Pauch Family at next year’s Bruce Rogers Memorial. Keep up the great work on the vids.

[@michaelolenick4078]

You have those nights sometimes. Hopefully someone will find it later in the night or later in the week.

[@dalehillegass1188]

It was so disappointing to see Mike and Billy both have trouble Saturday night but hopefully they got all of their bad luck out of the way for the rest of the season.

[@arrowkart4j]

That's a bummer losing that motor.

[@hatchetmedic6764]

Mike was flying. I really feel bad for y’all.

That track is way too narrow they need to look at the big a that's a track get them next time Mike and Billy sorry for your bad luck I feel your pain I just rolled my ankle Thursday night

Oh man... hope you get better soon!

[@maxinebootie]

Mandee: Is there anyway you could fasten a lanyard to keep your Go-Pro with the car? Is there a place to put a hand loop on it or could you use some really good adhesive to fasten a lanyard to it?

[@dirttrackuntold]

I'm definitely going to be looking into it to see what I can do... I definitely don't want to lose any more!

[@richardwollgren1935]

Sorry Mike and Billy had a bad night hope tomorrow will be better at Fonda

[@steveholton4130]

What is a "Soft Plug"? Is it what I've always know as a "freeze plug"? sdh in CT

[@steveholton4130]

@RYAN , On a FRESH motor, that sounds like a clear engine builder issue!

[@kevinritchie9227]

Man it sucks for both not to qualify, but makes it worse when its parts breaking when they are both gonna be in.

[@jerryneetz9009]

No words. Billy and Mike both had fast cars just to got bitten by bad luck. Sorry to see you lost your go pro. Grandview always been a rough track. Good luck to Mike and Billy in the upcoming races.

[@scottholbert1192]

Mandee 🥰 😍🥰 great camara work, I sure hope you get your GoPro back. Mike , what can I say other than that I always found they seem to run the best right before they break 🥴. But you were definitely wicked fast . Billy Jr seems like when the night starts by having to dodge demo driver's they never pan out good for you. You too looked good until you had to start dodging bullet's. Best of luck to you both at the next one 🏁🇺🇸👍

[@ronframe387]

Sorry Mike! I stopped to say Hi and good luck before the show. Guess I should have said break a leg? You look really comfortable making Fast laps there. I hope you try again next year! .....I'm not a Strunk fan, but there is No doubt he owns that race! Good luck at Fonda.

[@jodywells7519]

I hate redraw! Qualify and start by heat race finish!

[@17TravisP]

Great video Mandee! I hope finds your GoPro and gets it back to you. Not sure what is going on with the engines lately. You guys are the 3rd or 4th ones I’ve seen that a fresh motor has pop on them. Keep your heads up because theirs higher paying races ahead. To makeup for tonight’s disappointment.

They aren't mandated in NY

[@JohnDoe-dp5vo]

I will be nice and not use any swear words, although I have plenty running through my head. I guess some nights, the stars are out of alignment. Mike looked so fast in his Heat, only to suffer mechanical issues and ruin his night (insert swear word here). Billy having a flat really messed up his night too (insert swear word here). Once you get behind the 8 ball, it's difficult to recover, especially with so many cars and level of competition. Then, on top of it all, you lose a camera (insert swear word here). Like the old saying goes, "when it rains, it pours"! (Insert swear word here). I have to say, despite the horrible night, Billy & Mike both kept their composure, and Mike smiling & laughing at the end of the night just shows what an optimist & true competitor he is. I really respect him for that. I was truly hoping for a better outcome for both drivers, but (insert swear word here) happens. Thank you for another outstanding, although disappointing, video, Mandee. You really do an amazing job! Good luck in upcoming races, and I'll be chewing my fingernails down to my elbows awaiting your next video. 🤞👍🤘

[@dirttrackuntold]

You are too much haha... I couldn't have said it any better. When it rains it sure does pour!

Mandee, love your vidieos, but there is no such thing as a hot water heater, there is a water heater tho. you dont heat hot water because its already hot.

[@robalexander1784]

Honestly that car was on a Rail Mike. I don't know if it was a different set up or what not but it really looked good. In the corners it looked so much faster then the night before with the big block and you finshed 2nd Congrats BTW. In a few laps you had a half a track lead. They always say you are always the fastest before they blow. I hope it's not to serious. i love the in camera feed its like your behind the wheel. For some reason though it looked to me in Albany Saratoga you wait alot longer until you get on the gas coming out of the corner. I know Grandview smaller but you look way more Aggressive. I was like go Mike go. Then it stopped ugggggg. Just once id like to see the car on a rail like that and it finishes. I watched every race Mandee recorded this year. Some tracks you go after it and some you take your time. But i watch the other cars also and it looked to me Stewart F. was coming off the corners faster. Being on this side of the camera i guess we cant see the slime on the track. Or freezen might have had more forward bite idk. Dam i would have loved to see that car finish tonights race. it looked to me it was really fast. I wonder if anyone recorded your lap times. Can you reply to this Mike? I really like your insight. Maybe on Friday you where saving your tires. Idk but i like to. Please respond...

[@dirttrackuntold]

Thanks Robert. Our lap times are actually record on racemonitor!

I can't believe the car counts. These races don't pay for what it takes to even get there especially a broke motor. Don't know how you guys do it.
