[@ucookinwithbutta956x]

Joseph, you’re a great driver, but damn buddy... that 87 car should have been fenced. Don’t be afraid to use that chrome horn. Like Earnhardt said, “sometimes when ya stick your nose in there and a guy cuts you off you stand your ground, it could end up wrecking, but a lot times you win races.” Quote ain’t exact but close. Not a lot of folks agree with rough racing and I myself don’t usually but you have to stand your ground! A brake check out of turn 2 the 87 car did, is a first class fence ticket going into turn 3. Love the channel, keep up the greatness fella’s!

[@Retired70]

Bad advice, you do it once then again, and again, next thing you’ll be branded . Rubbing is good racing but putting a competitor out is bad sportsmanship.

[@ucookinwithbutta956x]

@@Retired70 with all do respect, it is not like a drug bud.. just cause you spin a fella out doesn’t mean that you’re hooked.. and all you’re gonna do is spin feller’s out cause you’re “branded”. If you agree with the term rubbin is racing and but don’t understand when a driver need’s to stand their ground, then I simply do not understand your kind. I was simply reminding him that the car has a chrome horn, and to stand his ground. I never knew that to be “bad advice” but lessoned learned, thanks

[@brianellington8046]

Hey guys just wanted to tell yall what I use to help keep mud from sticking to the car like that. I'm sure yall probably use something already but armour all foaming tire cleaner works great. You can spray it all over the car and then wipe off the excess and it leaves a little film on there and it works great. Just figured I'd share if yall dont use something already. I seen Jessie scraping on the car and it wasnt coming off very easy lol. You guys are great and keep up the good work. Best of luck in 2021!!

[@470Greg]

Good weekend for you guys. Y'all worked hard. More to build on now

[@stevenrogers9174]

Good run this weekend, that track is very temperamental. It changes so much from night to night. The drive off the corner was were it looked like they were getting you guys. It even looked like Bronson was just a bit off as well. Sure was good to see Bo back in the car, always good to see him in the videos. Maybe look at doing a team alliance together like TMac and Superman are doing this year. As always good run and appreciate the video as always. HTF NATION !!

[@goldhunter9641]

Its just a part of Racing and Top 10 finishes aren't bad at all in big Events like this one.... I've often wondered how Bo Slay would do in a Super Late Car but I would bet that he would be a contender for sure

Good job hanging on to it. Looks like it was on top of the track to me. What do I know 😂 good job y’all. #HTFnation

[@MrFosterj]

when's the last time you put that car on the scale? Try putting more weight on the right rear. The car seems to stall in the middle of the corner. Maybe a 14 or 16 on the left front. From what I've seen during these races on this track is your getting pulled from the middle out. More weight transfer from the left front to the right rear.

[@shawntaylor4415]

I agree, the track changed so much ,hard to keep up each night.but that was there first time there.

[@MrFosterj]

@@shawntaylor4415 Ive noticed that when they use this chassis for the crate motor it seems to be off on the handling, It makes me wonder where the lead is in this car, I believe the car is going through a push loose condition

[@shawntaylor4415]

@@MrFosterj I see where your coming from,but remember there last crate race,run second.could be several things.he did hit the wall hard to tell what is bent or change the car sir.guess when they get home will know more.

[@MrFosterj]

@@shawntaylor4415 Understandable It also makes me wonder if the 604s are the ones you just buy from a dealer, or were they bough from a engine shop. We ran 604 in a pavement car, so we have ran one from a dealership for 6 grand, but have paid 10 grand from a engine shop. Now the 10 grand motor wasn't torn apart but that particular engine shop had put hours and hours in dyno work and we were running as much as 50 hp more by the little things a engine shop spent time researching. I can tell you that a engine shop motor has a very detailed list at timing ,jets what type of carb to use, how far to insert the distributor what type of dist to use, It was almost 3 pages of small details.

[@JJ-1-1]

They use spring load on each corner they never use scales

[@travisdexter1313]

HTF I am leaning with Joseph on this one. I dont know what gear yall were running but it was like it wasn't enough. I dont race late model because of the cost but I do race front wheel drive 4 cylinders. I would take a good look at the rear end. Keep up the good hard work HTF team.

[@JJ-1-1]

It was geared perfect it turned 6800 which is right oh the money for a 604 ... What your seeing is him blowing of the rear tires. and not going forward.... And I do race latemodel.

[@aaronalderman236]

Good job Joseph on the top 10 finish you'll get them next time 👍👍

[@jeffhanson6844]

Not sure what it is but corner exit looks good when he's alone but any kind of pinch or maneuver on exit just kills all drive.

[@MrFosterj]

I agree with that, The car didn't look good on restarts when running in traffic, just didn't look like he could get the car to hook up when when he was pinned down in traffic, makes me think they were a little weak with the front spring. There going crazy on front shocks on race cars any more, if you didn't have 8 to 10 grand in 4 shocks you weren't in the hunt.

[@allaboard2894]

Looks like Froward Bite is just not there coming off the corner.

[@MrFosterj]

@@allaboard2894 if its gaining Ackerman it would be severely towed out when the wheel is turned. I'm really wondering is the spindle arm is bent out.

Nah you cant expect that ...The track was different every night it's very seldom can you hit it all three nights.

[@victorpalmateer484]

[@travishanner9970]

I'm just guessing, but from my experience, the temp and humidity affect East Bay more than most tracks. Guess it's because of how close it is to the bay front. Hey 3 days of racing and you drove it in the trailer...that's a good weekend in my book. Great job, guys. Keep it up, the big checks will be on the wall!!!

[@JJ-1-1]

Some of that stuff and a EAST BAY whether the (TIDE) is in our out or somewhere in the middle.

[@mikeoshea1266]

I owned Dirt Modified big block race cars. I also set the chassis up and made the adjustments to the cars at the race track for my drivers. From watching all your races this past weekend, the 10 car appears to have good side bite thru the corners but lacking in forward bite. I can see you don't have a lot of rear offset which is why you need the left rear weight and the car has good side bite. However, its always a balancing act, maybe give up some side bite in exchange for more forward bite by eliminating some of the rear roll. I would try a stiffer right rear coil and or shock to try and keep some more weight on the left rear on corner exit. I heard Joseph say he was spinning tires, so apparently its not a motor issue its chassis. Just food for thought, good luck..

[@stevebivens7035]

You did all right at East Bay! Could have been a lot worse. Please let us know where and when you will go next. Chin Up! God Bless!

[@billswitzer1516]

Could sense your disappointment. Remember when you would pay to get a ninth place finish. You're living' the dream; that's what counts. Stay positive. You guys have improvement immensely in the last year. Keep moving forward!! And, to agree whole-heartedly with ahmad-406's comment. Keep that desire. Don't let anything get in the way of your dream. Do whatever it takes to get there. It won't be easy, and you will have to work for it. But if you truly want it, you'll get there!

[@estparxable]

[@MN-ho5fv]

Nice weekend of racing. Restarts not great in the feature and the car would not drive off of 2. Maybe a slightly too tall gear.

[@harrykeel8557]

Hate to say this but it probably tweaked the chassis a bit when he hit the wall. You might try less stagger on the right rear, heck we purchased a jig a lo, that had centered the wall at EAMS, we ran a half inch stagger and nobody could catch us after that.

[@smittyfixes8723]

Awesome tech support from capital. Anytime Joseph is on his phone at the track you know who he's calling.

[@petecastle5762]

My guess is he moved the coil over on the lift bar and it hurt his exit traction, according to which way he moved it, restarts sure weren’t his friend, still a great job, the wins will come.

[@JJ-1-1]

They didn't adjust any thing on the lift bar he changed the setting on the RF shock and the preload on the RF and a chunk of lead toward the rear.. Go to time stamp: 13.11 to see it

Another thing i have noticed not just these races but others recently as well is you have no bite coming off of 2. I dont race so idk why that is but i have seen several comments saying turn 2 and i agree it has been a main issue.
