New BUDGET Racecar! // OUCH! First race DOESN'T END WELL...

We picked up a new under $1000 racecar! Can you win with someone else's junk? We were sure going to try! But it didn't really end like we'd hoped.

So what do you think of the Ford? Should we keep it for the winner of the 10k sub contest????

[@ThunderMS34]

I only drive GM and GM only

[@thatracinglife]

We like to party with a bunch of different cars! haha.

[@stephenlacroix4928]

I’ve got 98 ZR2. Grew up on GMs. Good luck with Honda’s. We’re racing 20-30 year old compacts. Who cares? LETS RACE!

[@thatracinglife]

@@stephenlacroix4928 exactly! I still love my hondas the most though. Lol

[@sew8589]

I drive a 98 acr neon but would enjoy any car as long as its competitive

[@GrimBrother]

Even from 3 years ago a lot of your videos are really helping me get a gameplan and idea for what I'm in for as far as 4-cylinder stock car racing. Can't wait to get to building this summer for next years season. Looking at a 8th gen Civic coupe, really nice for dirt short track 4 cyl.

[@thatracinglife]

Killer car for sure!

[@laylowtayloe5424]

Dam there is alot of cars in this class! How awesome!!!

[@steventurner7327]

Just started watching you videos a week ago and love them. Enduro racing is big here in Maine but 100 laps is as big as they get. Keep posting!!

[@thatracinglife]

Thanks dude!

[@doloresberry3144]

Damn, garage looks good!

[@thatracinglife]

Thanks Dolores! I think so too! haha.

[@rustyshackelford4730]

Enjoyed the video 👍

[@SaberToothLawnTigers]

Great video! Hope you fixer. Wish you did a walk around of it after but I know its hard to remember or want to do shit like that when your pissed.

[@thatracinglife]

We will cover repairs when it comes time! But yeah I was hurting after that one!

[@t-deckvlogs6385]

unfortunate man but looking forward to the future videos keep up the hard work.

[@thatracinglife]

Thanks man! Appreciated!

[@travillianoutdoors]

Hey man. I just found your channel, and uh I'm going to need more content. lol. I am a former mini-stock racecar driver in Kentucky and I love this shit.

[@thatracinglife]

Thanks! We will be back eventually. On the grind for now. Havent been racing. But I wont be gone forever! Lol.

[@ForrestWhite35]

Oh snap! I run an escort aswell! Gonna be hard to blow by the competition now, dont have that honda motor pushing you around! But as good of a driver as you are, i'm sure you'll find victory lane one way or another! Nice ride!

[@thatracinglife]

We were keeping up with that 200hp prelude for a little while that ended up winning! Not a bad car at all. Just different.

[@ForrestWhite35]

@@thatracinglife Where do you normally find your cars? trying to find a prelude in my area! Searched the fb marketplace everyday

[@thatracinglife]

@@ForrestWhite35 typically fb marketplace or craigslist. If not there then usually friends message me with deals since they know I'm looking. Patience is the key. I have found some really good deals on stuff when I wasnt really looking. Just saw them and jumped on them.

I'M IN!! Lets take the podium!!!

Already have you on the list! Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@minnesotaben7568]

Im definitely in!

[@SHADOWFADE27]

Your garage is looking clean! I was reading the rules for my local speedway and they banned Hondas. VTEC too good I suppose lol

[@thatracinglife]

Thanks man! You'll find a lot of these circle tracks have stupid rules based on people's either lack of knowledge or other people bitching about something. It's gotten better over the years but still quite prevalent. Annoying for sure!

[@Self.reliant]

Ya our track you can run single over head cam v6 and any non verablile timing 4 cyl but no vtech and no gm 3.8 v6

[@bradleylasher908]

That cage is so nice I wouldn't want to race it in the series where they keep the winning car

[@thatracinglife]

When you can build them yourself you send it!

[@liteguy5597]

I’m in ! I had a 98 zx2 my sister’s high school car! Lol

[@thatracinglife]

Got you on the list! Good luck! Yeah zx2 isn't the coolest car ever. But good enough to make a decent racecar out of! lol

[@liteguy5597]

That Racing Life I thought about it. I have a 90 integra mini stock dirt track car with a b20vtec! That’s how we run out here in California.

[@thatracinglife]

That sounds like a pretty good combo right there!

[@thatracinglife]

Check out our older videos, We have already done a DA Integra build!

[@liteguy5597]

That Racing Life yes I’ve watched all the $1000 budget Acura that’s how I learned to build my car! Great work I like the prelude too I was thinking about a h22vtec swap but just went with the b20.

[@josephpilmanphotography]

You wreck because you took that hey pa sticker off that was my great grandpa man :( Quick question Ive raced twice so far this year and what ever I do at wilmot I can't keep up with them any tips to increase some ponys? Its a 2000 chevy cav 4 cylinder of course.

[@thatracinglife]

When you sell a car, things change. If I knew him I would have kept it. It's not always about power. Focus on your driving and making the car work for you. Power helps but it's a handicap for what else you really need.

[@watchingcarsdriveonovals]

My brother races the same cars on wilmot. he is the youngest driver to start a race because he is currently 14 and your supposed to be 15, but the owner let it slide because he was 14 1/2.

[@jasonbilek2952]

Were you planning on running Golden Sands on March 21st.

[@thatracinglife]

Thats the plan for now! Have a new car to build for that race too! If we dont have time for the new one then we will try this car again.

[@jasonbilek2952]

@@thatracinglife cool. I guess I`ll see you there. I wasn`t planning on racing this year but since they said they were running Golden Sands and a roval in Madison I had to get a new car.

Are you all still racing I have a 1997 Nissan Altima gxe I want to race but I can't cuz my local race tracks says that I'm at a advantage cuz it's a twin cam not a single cam. Would love to get with you all on Facebook or something to talk more about your racing that you do looks really fun

[@thatracinglife]

Yeah off and on. Didnt race at all last year. Find a different track then. If they want to be stupid and lose car count, that's on them. Or push them to change rules. Add weight or something.

[@justinbradbury3633]

@@thatracinglife we tryed to talk them into making a new class called the outlaw fwd but they refused. So now I'm thinking about bumb n running it. I don't know if y'all have them there but you can watch some just put in alpena michigan bump n runs

Get a cavalier ecotec in my opinion Honda motors are better but when a cavalier is setup right they are unstoppable

Everyone has their preference. The top cars in the country for the last 7 years or more have been Hondas! I have seen a few quick cavaliers around though!
