Rockford Speedway - 09/17/2022 - SPECTATOR DRAGS: Night of Thrills (NEW Track Lights!)

[@buddyphillips9790]

Why is everyone hating on the commentator? I think he adds to the comedy 😂

[@killjoydod4937]

People being too serious!! The "...and who doesn't care?" line is a bit much thou!!

[@buddyphillips9790]

@@killjoydod4937 I think it's just a throwback to John the old announcer. Unfortunately John passed away last year due to covid and he use to do that joke "and who doesn't care" and the crowd would go crazy

[@cdnmetelhead4013]

Verbal diarrhea 💩

[@walk4348]

This is one of the most entertaining spectator drags I've seen in a long time. This was awesome. 😆

[@jawsxx8683]

There are much worse.

[@JustinOtterholt]

That was a really good field this time, some good racing there.

[@mykejustmyke1407]

Agreed! Great racing

[@9csvt9]

With handling like that. That had to be the RS Focus . Great Race

[@JustinOtterholt]

It was an RS

[@dustingrassman3184]

It was a focus st

[@RDRS_Phoenix]

@@dustingrassman3184 it was a Focus RS. An ST would have launched much slower off the line because it’s only FWD.

[@Bizness10]

@@dustingrassman3184 The fog lights and spoiler show it's a RS.

[@bigains]

That was a great race event. Some really close finishes and some fun crashes. Good clean fun!

[@TheGrandStrander]

4 wheel, 2 wheel, whatever, it's still all good because you never know the skill level and fear level behind each dash. That's the intangibles that makes this fun.

[@Royal_dj_ent]

Don’t remember the last time I saw a corvette drift without losing control immediately. Nice

[@michaelgamble2848]

Right, doesn't seem like a 'Vette unless it occasionally tries to kill you.

[@hhaste]

They make for a great drift car even stock, it's just the drivers behind that wheel that can't control it.

[@darrylsjodin7184]

Maybe it depends on the corvette. I have a C5 Z06 and the rear end tucks in really good under power without drifting unless it’s wet out, and then all bets are off if the traction control isnt on! 😂 lol

[@3.0TMKreaZ]

The wheel came off easily on that Buick 🤣

[@brooktrout1477]

That was fun , good stuff

[@lycancatt4248]

this is a super awesome event the only event keeps getting better

[@lycancatt4248]

the final is wy we just go damn..awesomethis announcer kicks ass and i'm so happy he's into it

[@dash4191]

Quite enjoyed this thanks for the upload, yet that jeep is a TracHawk 😈 Demon HiMi

[@killjoydod4937]

Love these races!!! Great announcer!!!! :D

[@dtfaaron]

How fun! Where is this!?! Wish I had something like this close to home. would be there every weekend lol

[@killjoydod4937]

OMGGG!!! Me too!!! Just remember: "Never race in something you can't replace!"

[@g.adams1]

This is at the Rockford Speedway, Rockford, Illinois

[@paulhenryxray]

Been at least a decade since I've been to Rockford, but those lights are fantastic

[@danfarris135]

2 decades for myself

[@JoeGerdom]

They close after this year

[@AVC-Works]

This was really really fun!

[@AlanRobinson-zy4yx]

I was driving the white Camaro. It started sprinkling during this so the track got interesting Good times

[@chevelle300post]

I smell oil

[@sfcjerryharris]

Dayum focus is fast

[@ztwntyn8]

My man driving the focus deserved to win he drove his ass off and that very last lap last turn is the move I pull for all the time when someone is in just that position high on the track and behind 1st. Get your shit together and make one hell of a run from up top to inside as much as possible and straight as possible and hammer down.. as much as possible lol. Great move there at the end….perfect

[@thresher455]

I love this

[@lycancatt4248]

this is awesome! i'm lining up hotwheels trying to match the screen haha

[@marksteel1768]

The comitator was the best ever and very entertaining!!!!!!

[@Bizness10]

The guy in the Focus RS forgot to use launch control.

[@bobmck1626]

2 laps please

[@shaneb286]

Slow mo replay the Buick totally beat the Pizza car.

[@buddyphillips9790]

Yeah but it didn't matter... they ran it again for one but also either would have gotten destroyed by the Corvette

[@darksolara6750]

Days like this you really need your Perelli's ha ha ha ha ha ha

[@freebird7057]

Best video I have seen in a long long time.

[@charlesrobinson5709]

That Commentator is funny, I don’t care who you are, That’s funny right there, lol

[@NFS4LFE]

I would love to be the announcer guy. I'd be gushing over every car I'd introduce on the track.

[@johnnyrichter963]

Best video ever

[@jeffa.8976]

Are the any rules for spectator drags. Can we run dot track tires?

[@pesetamaya3509]

Man we need one of these out here in California it would help a lot cuz it would stop the killing of all these so-called wannabe Racers on the streets I wish I was out there where is this place at and what state

[@joshuapriddy2383]

Machesney Park IL

[@Noise.Motion]

y eso que el del focus andaba con sueño... siempre se atrasaba en la salida. ford Focus RS traccion integral bueno para el rally.

[@Chewygsxr]

I have a 14 Ford Fiesta ST, with sticky tires there magic in a turn, it will out handy the Focus ST in tight turns. The Fiesta Flash

[@robertevenson5686]

There is a race at this track where a Fiesta hits the wall on turn 4. All bags deploy

[@mtlassen1992]

Some drive a little less aggressively when their car has to take them to work on Monday.😊

[@donaldvane4109]

I feel sorry for the people that listen to this guy every week.

The announcer has a very important job… “Watch your starter”!!! Who else would they get to say that??? 💯💩👎🏼🖕🏽

[@adey88splace]

Was that at C4 Corvette?

[@within_a_doubt7421]

Yeah looks like a 90's LT1 vette

[@jamespalmer5358]

Watching without audio is much better!

[@ChrisMiller-ej3up]

it's like the announcer annually thought it was called spectacular drags

[@broadstbulliesii]

everyone is lucky it rained that c4 had a driiver behind the wheel

[@nickTeeKaystrickland]

Wow, the Golf driver actually took a good, fast line one corner 3. You NEVER see that in these races, lol.

[@lycancatt4248]

damn that announcer r is making it for me, i cant see the screen ad he is sos on!

[@robertbelote5273]

Story on the minivans?

[@michaelthebarbarian3380]

I have a 96 LT4 Corvette... let me tell you guys something... the dude who drove that Red C4 without the top bolted in has balls of solid stone. These cars drive like shit without the Targa top bolted in tight lol

[@inverted311]

How on God's Green Earth did the announcer not know that; that was a 67 Nova..... hahahahaha

No shot someone brought an Aston Martin to these.. imagine someone rams it lmao.. Insurance wouldn't even cover it..

Thanks great content. Had on mute as announcers annoying. Missed hearing exhaust. Can you film away from speaker?

[@cedricm5153]

12:30 .... That was some really foul play.

[@buddyphillips9790]

So was 15:30 So much nonsense going on lol

[@sfcjerryharris]

What’s the difference from RS and ST?

[@Chewygsxr]

350 HP for the RS with all wheel drive, the ST 256 HP front wheel drive. I have a 14 Fiesta ST, there Magic cars, drive one and you’ll see. The Fiesta Flash

[@buddyphillips9790]

The RS is all wheel drive and has about 100 horsepower more

[@darksolara6750]

OK guys so what's the official name of this kind of drag race…?

[@ManMountainMetals]

😂spectator drags or spec drags 4 short.

[@Legendary-2024]

thats an 06 srt8 jeep folks! 6.1 hemi in that.. notice it was beating the rs focus from a stop? they are in the 4 second range as well to 60mph.. anyways considering the power to weight im very impressed with the jeep!

[@galevest4545]

Fwd on this tiny trac be your best friend

[@markheit5870]

Clever idea for a slow Saturday night in a small town. They need a new announcer.

[@19lol19]

The guy with the focus would've won a long time ago I feel he sleeps at the line alot...

[@JoshKetchum]

Big bad pizza car.. lol

[@RockSleeper]

That buick won against the hyundai the first time

[@James28R]

SRT first race 'thats not what you expected to happen was it' - yes, yes it was.

[@trentryan27]

Guy in the c4 should have turned off his headlights for better aerodynamics

[@evanherrera9735]

The dude in the Jeep was seriously pussyfooting it. Focus was solid as well, but the Jeep really had the upper hand but was braking way early in the corners.

[@killjoydod4937]

It was raining and slippery. The Jeep's tires might have been worn also.

[@evanherrera9735]

@@killjoydod4937 Bald tires are the only solid reasoning imo. I have the same vehicle and it can handle more than that. I understand not wanting to break that beautiful machine, but he took it to a spec drag and the SRT was made to be tracked. Race it like it was meant to be dammit.

[@edrod3580]

4 cylinder wins. V8 lol.

[@g00dl00kinb0i]

That Park Avenue crash was a total waste of an operational 20 car...

[@nielgregory108]

Buick beat the Pizza Car. #ROBBED The Jeep Track Hawk has 700hp. That Focus is probably tuned to 350hp but weighs almost 2/3's less and probably has upgraded suspension. That lets me know how impressive the Jeep really is.

[@JrGoonior]

Too old to be a TrackHawk. 2006 is most likely an SRT.

[@SC400slide]

Jeep just an SRT which came with 6.1 Hemi. Surprised it kept up with Focus RS. Trackhawk didn’t come out till newer body style.

[@D3M0ify]

The focus blown its motor on the way home... as expected!

[@darrylsjodin7184]

If that C4 and C5 were stock, the C5 should have won that, even from the outside lane, unless the C4 was a ZR1 or the C5 driver is a doofus, lol

[@jrawlins5246]

Go Focus Go! You da (fat) Man!!!

[@logdon17]

The way the races start is awful, most drivers jump when he screams "Watch the starter" but no one waits for the flag to drop.

[@firstnamelastname8060]

Caution: Mute the video as soon as you click on it.

[@lukesworkout2232]

[@nemesis8664]

World's luckiest Focus.

[@Ruudiii]

So funny to see those typical american boaty cars that cant turn for shit struggling for grip with typical american setup with horrible tires, racing around a track. And that Focus driver is actually the worst of them all hahhaa, braking IN the corner when is isnt even close to the limit. Only thing that made him win is the fact that the car is european

[@kingssuck06]

Why did the aston martin get destroyed by a 1999 camaro?

[@Ruudiii]

@@kingssuck06 That Aston Martin is like a bentley, and that 1999 is a "pure bred" sports car, if you can even call american cars for sporty, and its not close to stock hahah. That Ford Focus has 50hp less than the Aston Martin. Yet it destroys the camaro, but camaro keeps up on the straight. Camaro = Tuned crazy, or its a 5.7 330hp which is tuned to about 400. And at that point, its ALOT lighter than the Aston Martin. Aston Martin is not a sportscar, its a Cruiser/GT. Camaro is supposed to be a sporty muscle.

[@SlowMotion0991]

Are you crazy, this is terrible racing.. OMG

[@bored2323]

That announcer is super annoying

[@pamhowden8161]

Boo
