Racing driver's car speed secrets

[@tj_gsomething_]

14:12 *pats dash and says good girl* after passing Porsche. **Merica!**

[@sataneatcheese6243]

I do that every time I start my car XD

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

I did that in my old civic one day... and yes, it was against a Porsche. 😂 *they could have passed me EASILY, but I was "give'n er all she's got" 🤣 and they backed off....

[@toddr3093]

2 things I took away from this video Casey is the real deal This car makes me proud to be an American

[@CaseyPutsch]

MERICA!

[@MianCowell]

You can hear Carey's tone change when he's talking to the fan. He's in race mode.

[@killercurl1]

casey drives a 70's corvette on bald tires down the interstate doing 75mph full opposite lock inertia drifting off the exits..... i cant wait to see what he does with grip..... SERIOUSLY THANK YOU for posting as cool and the garage videos are.... im excited to see these young guys get the realization they're working on a race team to go fast.... much respect for you having genius garage....

[@killercurl1]

P.S. your car sounds so stank nasty omg life goals 2 a.m. no traffic $600 in my tank and i've buried the speed-o

[@maddoxwca]

It was interesting watching actual shifting during racing versus the shifting in movies with their 16 speed transmissions..... 😂🤣

[@musicman6887]

More like 42 lol

[@HakiZ748]

😂😂😂

[@sataneatcheese6243]

I love how you preach "you don't need the best equipment". I have honestly found you learn more with a "make do" attitude.

[@gregorymarsh9504]

I write this only six minutes into the video: Aw, man! As soon as I saw the background I knew where you were, and I miss it SO BAD! Haven't been there in 2 years, and to top it all off I usually set up my trailer where you've got yours! I am 27 years old, and I instruct in the Allegheny Region Porsche Club of America. I started at 16.5 at PittRace doing non-club events, then club events at 18, and began instructing at 22. My dad and I share a 1986 944 Turbo with moderate upgrades (roll cage, seats, harness, wheel, slicks, suspension, bushings, ECU, strut tower brace, rear seat delete, 3" race exhaust. My best time there in that car (approx 290hp) was a 1:35. Have fun with that Vette!

[@yanal0611]

Who else is giving us these kinds of raw videos on KZbin? Exactly. Great video, Casey!

[@ziggy3237]

Lol, that nickname is genius. Twin Cam is a stroke of pure, unfiltered, unrivaled genius.

[@sparkl_motion]

I'm so stoked to see the testing video, but above all, I want to thank you guys for showing the folks who recognized you in the pits. It's a great reminder there are amazing people in racing who support Casey and Genius Garage. I can't wait to see you all beat up on some rich old guys!

[@TJHall]

I learned a lot from this video. Cant wait to see how the car does next week when theres not oil all over the track

[@taylorjams4845]

Listening to casey bitch about the damn mustangs oiling the track like a true race diva is literally the best. I love the diversity of content style on this channel. Never know what the next video will bring. Maybe casey is pissed, maybe he's going to be a goof ball, could be building a super car, or he might be schooling the kids in sarcasm and dad jokes.

[@CarlChristiansenJr]

Talk about a man in his element. So much fun watching. But the best part for me is the eager look he inspires in the team he's working with! Outstanding!

[@iknklst]

Mid Ohio is such a great track. I'm old enough to have watched the Can-Am cars absolutely hammering it down the back straight. Ran GP bikes myself there a few years back, one of my favorite RR tracks.

[@michaelpierrynowski7253]

Was watching F1 qualifying today and was wondering what they were touching the tires with thinking it was sensors or something, but this episode literally answered it

[@sevamega]

It is a great content! l am a medical professional, and I don’t even have a drivers license. But this video reminds me why I am still on KZbin . Thanks!

[@bottomfr4gye3t8]

Absolutely stunning. I'm only halfway through and already incredibly impressed at how Casey just linked up with the car during startup, very smooth and just shows he knows exactly what he's doing.

[@ScottOmatic]

Now this is what I call content. Great to see the fruits of their labor inside the garage, now being applied outside and on the track!

[@jravelo2]

Love the tire temp, tire pressure and camber explanation. Reminded me of how the manual of the indycar PC game in the early 90s explained temp reading, camber and tire pressure. Great stuff!

[@john-vy1ml]

Awesome stuff. Great way to break the ice with the kids before a bigger outting. God bless u casey, what a great experience for these young men

[@upracer9311]

Absolutely awesome seeing you pilot an 80s C4 GT1 car with your Genius Garage crew! I love these videos the best. Gives the "behind the scenes" look at what it takes to run in vintage racing, or any road racing for that matter. It will be a pleasure to finally meet you at Road America next weekend! My favorite race of the year. Kudos to you for developing the youth in sports car racing!

[@shinren_]

I actually didnt know about the camber 🤔 funnily enough it never crossed my mind. You learn something new everyday watching these vids haha

[@Divine_Evil]

You haven't heard about the Mercedes's DAS system?!?

[@shinren_]

@@Divine_Evil hahaha im pretty much a car noob so nah

[@RickOAA]

I've been messing with camber and alignment specs on my street car. It's shocking what is deemed acceptable in tolerances by manufacturers and also what a difference a little tweak can make.

[@jon2229]

this is the funniest guy I’ve ever watched on KZbin, corrects does finger dance then pats corvette for passing a 911

[@thecarterkent6571]

My dad took his 69 vette to mid america on corvette day sometime in the 90's. He pulled onto the track and his floor mat slid onto the accelerator and he blew past a bunch of people at 100+ mph

[@opieg7333]

Great track video. Love the chaos. Love the speed with which everything happens - and the crew will get used to it with practice. Nothing like a planted rear coming out of a turn. Was interesting to see how tight of a range the RMPs stayed in over the lap. And I could listen to that engine go all day, sounds glorious.

[@sebastiankvyat3915]

Man that looks like soo much fun to drive. That onboard footage looks awesome. I’d love to see more as I’m sure others would as well.

[@انا_ابراهيم_البناوي]

Bunch of amazing students thank you for giving them this experience a fan from saudiarabia

[@Chris-hq7nl]

You patted her! That's awesome!

[@janaj649]

Amazing video , so glad to see all in place as a great team . Casey , so impressed with you driving . Exciting ..... Can’t wait for more ....

[@lolz111000]

"Those mustangs are living up to their reputation" Yea this is gonna be a good video

[@abcanimal]

Hey Kasey You have inspired me a lot to finish my racecar! It's an 84 C4 with LT1 motor and full cage! Maybe one day, I'll see you at a track.

[@FUNKOfilms]

Oh man that 84. Hey I wish you the best of luck and personally hope to own an 85-89 someday.

[@brianspenst1374]

This track is one of the few things I miss about living in Mansfield. We volunteered every summer for almost a decade. Never missed a vintage race weekend. The car is sounding great. I am excited to see your videos from Road America.

[@MaverickGamingVideos]

Pretty awesome how you work with kids give them a chance to just have fun doing something they wouldn’t normally do

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

Very cool to see this! Wonderfully informative - this is a side of racing most people never get a chance to see. Thank you Casey!

[@FUNKOfilms]

I really love what you're doing Casey. hopefully I can get the time off to come up to Road America and just say hi to everyone and check the cars out in person.

[@bbrut3332]

A very good beginning on teaching the young pit crew the basics of tire temp and air pressure reading with a basic explanation of the reason for the reading. Good going crew, it will get faster and easier with a little more experience.

[@Joe_Bowl]

Casey do you plan on doing on track tutorials? braking zones, racing line, passing etc.

[@gregoryhorvath8920]

Great learning experience for the young people. It was exciting for me to watch, I can’t imagine what it was like for them to participate. RA will be building on what they learned at Mid-Ohio. Thank you for providing them with the opportunity. 👍

[@chamchullo]

this is old school and i love it i got used to seeing new GT cars and they have shit tone sensors but this this is beautiful

[@donlemme898]

Best thing I’ve seen in a long time. Great stuff.

[@ryanwang6528]

That looks intense! Really awesome video Casey! Good luck with the race. 👍🏼

[@amrickdhillon1283]

Really solid teaching, Casey! Must be fantastic for the up and comers getting to hear the specifics and guidance from you

[@ScottJ175]

Love the video. Brings to mind much stuff I haven't shared for fear of a little Casey mockery. But what the heck. The formula vee pushed me over the edge. Back in the very early 90s I joined SCCA and ran my daily driver 88 Cavalier in H Stock Solo II with hopes to get into some sort of club racing and maybe "get discovered" (I believed that myth then). I eyed formula vee hard because I had experience building air cooled VWs. I was trying to do all this as a hobby while a poor college student with no support from anyone else. Closest I came was going to look at a vee rolling chassis someone I'd met autocrossing was selling. Didn't go through with it because I simply didn't have the money. I sometimes wonder what might have happened if I'd found a way.

[@markbuckley4152]

As a fellow Ohioan, I am so proud of you. Socrates or Casey, the greatest teachers of al time?

[@yeke2000]

I'm always astonished how well you're able to explain things.

[@olsonspeed]

Perhaps a circular polarizing filter and lowering the exposure would improve the through the windshield view. Good to see Vette out on the track!

[@deanoallen5096]

One of the most down to earth personalities on KZbin.

[@isaacwatson3088]

that is actually amazing watching your race like that.

[@yellowdogparty]

That was a really neat look from the other side of the track. All of the tire temp information was really interesting.

[@AaronPace93]

I have been reading the speed secrets series, and just got to this part! Very cool to see in practice

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

How great to hear that engine once again. Hard to tell for sure (can't tell your throttle position from the video) but under what I suspect to be partial load between 4000-5000 rpm it sounds like you've got a little bit of a miss.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

Oh never mind, just watched to the end of the video where you said the plugs were fouling. Guess I wasn't hearing things. :)

[@ichbineinebiene6234]

When engine is off, the tachometer reads 1500 rpm...

[@LapoftheWorld]

So at 12:45, is that just a "confidence tap" or do you actually get knock-back in the brakes (maybe from taking some exit curb)? I'm "guilty" of the former even though I've never run into knock-back in my track-driven street car. Love the track content and cool to see you wheel that 'Vette around. Good luck at RA! I'll be driving within a stone's throw of Genius Garage on the way to Waterford Hills that same weekend :)

[@texasjoe_streetracing_audi9671]

Awesome content... We will watch your career with great interest .

[@aserta]

Interpose between the NACA duct and the exhaust inside on the driver, a 3D printed impeller blower powered by a small alarm 12v battery with a Johnsons 545 motor. If you make it about as big as a dinner plate, you can then mount a filter on it, and remove dust from the equation. Overall weight under 2 kg.

[@CaseyPutsch]

Or I could just be lighter get dirty and be faster

[@evcass69]

I love it when she's blowing on my junk. Btw, that looks like my Longacre pyrometer. I generally adjust my pressures 1psi hot for every 3* off in the center. Ie, inside 174, mid 180, outside 175, I'd drop it (180-174)/3=2psi. It'd be cool to meet you if you get (back) down to Sebring.

[@HalfRoastedDuck]

Love your channel Casey, helps make a boring quarintine interesting and educational

[@pabauza]

At last, a videpmwith the C4. Thank you Casey

[@markbuckley4152]

Mid Ohio is one of my favorite places!

[@MK-qg9vs]

Just so excited for you racing I'm sitting on the edge of my apex at turn 3.. LOL🤣

[@joeyleonard2218]

That thing sounds sick!

[@bradklingensmith]

We go to Mid Ohio for Indy and Nascar, fun to see if from the driver viewpoint. Just Avalon King the car and you can just hose it off.

[@drivermod7288]

At 12:50, were you testing brake pedal feel/travel before the braking zone?

[@aggopian]

Not sure if the rules allow it but have you considered using tire pressure relief valves? They mount into the wheel and can be calibrated to a desired max pressure. As tire temperatures increase they bleed off excess pressure allowing for more consistent handling over time.

[@Rentle553motions]

Go for it Casey! Nice driving!

[@AlexZanderMuro]

Hoping to make it out to Road America and watch you guys race! Car looks and sounds great~

[@KF2NationalKartcrg]

From someone who on ceveral times has oiled an entire track - We are mutually sorry! Good video and much appreciation for what you are teaching the young gunners! Keep the videos coming! Cheers from Denmark :D

[@do8472]

excellent, really enjoyed you teaching...

[@Greaseland]

On a fenderd car when you stop turn the front wheels to the left or right so its easier to take temp readings.

[@silviosantapaola2825]

This made my month god damn I am speechless

[@ВасилийКаблин]

It would be cool to see the outside camera, especially on not that popular tracks. I wish I were one of this students, great stuff!

[@HydeMyJekyll]

They can speed up communication recording tire temps by having a pre-set plan on the order of tire temps taken. If they guy shouts 12 tire temps, the other guy recording them should already know what order they are being taken and record them as such. OR have the thermometer store the 12 temps and auto-upload them to a database.

[@L00PdeL00P]

6:56 look at Dan in the back, he must be a laurel canyon artist from the 1970s

[@Krycha42]

Hey Casey, greetings from Poland. I love your racing driver tips. This weekend I'm going to 3rd track day in my life and I wonder what tire pressure will be the best for my car. Do you have any video when u talk about that? I would gladly hear what you can say about that. Thanks for all your content!

[@advancedaircraft]

Great video Casey!

[@apancher]

Are you guys planning on coming up to Road America next weekend? Edit : nevermind, you mentioned it in the video.

[@mustanglover06]

That was pretty stinkin awesome. Hope I can to a season with genius garage someday.

[@ChokeyChoke]

This makes me want to go and get myself a Corvette! This thing sounds insane.

[@salvadordollyparton666]

That's not a corvette, it's just corvette shaped.

[@ChokeyChoke]

@@salvadordollyparton666 I know that. Doesn't change the fact it makes me want a corvette!

[@supersevenn]

There is an actual technique to probing the tire, you dont just stick the needle in at 90 degrees...and there is also a technique in how long the probe needs to be in the tire to get a proper reading. Also...tell the driver to turn the wheel to facilitate probing the tire ;) Cant wait to see the RA video, its a hell of a track!

[@camaroguy2919]

Awsomeness. Thank you Mr putsch..

[@Yupppi]

Imagine being the driver and teaching the whole tech crew how to do their job. That's some responsibility and knowledge while trying to do your own job to the best.

[@davidandrews5215]

very informative video guys keep up the great work

[@fillyrick823]

Your finally at the track

[@jacknickolstine3355]

I'd love to be there to get a chance to learn some cool stuff.

What about putting in some vacuum cleaner filters in those driver cooling airducts?

[@deanoallen5096]

Yes, the racing videos are awesome.

Can you rate your favorite tracks in america

[@andreiapostol5906]

Please give reflective safety vests to the media personnel (photographers and recorders), it will be much better for everyone (this is what we do here in rally, hillclimb and trackdays). Wonderful video, hope you guys climb to the highest steps constantly.

[@CaseyPutsch]

Reflective for daytime for cars with no headlights?

[@andreiapostol5906]

@@CaseyPutsch Yes! Reflective and fluorescent; it would be better for photographers to wear these high visibility vests as a safety precaution more than anything else, they might even be allowed to sit in more risky areas to get better shots if they are visible enough; event organisers can have their work made easier if they can identify the media personnel. Anyway, thank you again for the great content, I really enjoy it.

[@andreiapostol5906]

What I'm trying to say is, if you have someone making badass photos, make sure they're there, don't lose them in the scenery :)

[@abcanimal]

Hey Casey I got an 84 vette race car just like that!!! Your videos inspire me to finish that car. Its 60% there. Just put in gauges in my new dash today. Btw, your battery kill switch is too far from you. You really should have it closer just fyi.

[@CaseyPutsch]

Super cool! Hope to see you out there one day!

[@randomguy343BOSS]

This video is awesome but you should look into having a GoPro on the outside of the car too for some clearer driving shots
