I'm always impressed by mustang drivers that can avoid sending it straight into the 3rd row! respect!

[@salt-monkeymcgee401]

That green/white stang race looked so fun

[@needmoreboost6369]

it’s at 4:00 for anyone looking for the mustang doing mustang thing’s!

[@22sojourner]

Thank you for the replays at the finish.

[@rdanalytics9197]

I like these little one lap races. 2 laps might be better.

[@roscius6204]

2 laps would be so much more interesting.

[@Skinnamarink.]

2 laps and maybe just 3 or 4 more rules...

[@LESLASLESLAS]

They have to only do 1 lap so Fords can participate.

[@untouchabledriver87]

What the heck was that maroon C4 Vette doing on the flat part of the curve, then hitting the only patch of grass?? Lmao 😂😂😂😂

[@kevsta67]

cheating .should have been disqualified

[@charleswilliams9369]

Thanks for posting! Comments are funny too! Stay safe racers and have fun. Hopefully Ford and Chevrolet engineers watch this too. Thank you everybody!

[@tonesthegrey6452]

Maroon Corvette in the third or fourth or so race should have been DQed or the race could have been rerun, depending on how lenient you want to be with the rules, but going through the grass with all 4 wheels in T4 is excessively cutting the corner IMHO. Also, did not appear to play well (fairly) with others. ;) I'm thinking whoever drove the Vette is highly likely to run with scissors on the regular.

[@rexmayn3171]

The black doors on that green Vette looks awful.

[@ss-zt7en]

They're probably carbon fiber

[@Pressplay267]

But he did it for you though, so ungrateful 😒🥴

[@RPM_MEDIA7]

Relax he just doesn't have it fully wrapped at the moment

[@TyJoe_N_MattyMoe]

The new Vette looks awful, period, full stop.

[@King5150Ed]

They ruined that car, it's not even really a average guys sports car anymore.. not to mention it's extremely overpriced

[@demon12792]

Someone learned all the horsepower in the world makes little difference if your lead foot wont let the tires grip.

[@biggravy732]

Amen to that brother!!😬

[@tdhooper3886]

I like how all the Fords were watching at the end.

[@sixstanger00]

I like how the Chevys have to bring their supercars to beat Mustangs.

[@slorpe]

The long slow mo's just killed it for me.

[@4DSCdude]

hopefully dude uses his winnings to finish wrapping that car green

[@Rainmaker2]

Nice track,great racing.

[@jamesedmonds1350]

A Mustang spinning out on a straight run was not surprising, One of the most dangerous cars on the road.

[@biggravy732]

Yeah, it was the very first time it ever happened to me. You simply can not push these cars too far, or they will get crazy on you!

[@metallicafan416]

Obviously you don't know any more about driving then him

[@biggravy732]

Well, Roger that, the stang had a new e85 tune in it. Other than me, data logging the tune, the race that night was the first time I experienced the new power. Your powers of observation are right on target.

[@Cobra_427]

@@biggravy732 Good job keeping it out of the C4 and the wall, most people would've hit one or the other

[@biggravy732]

That's what I was thinking.

[@davidshipes4247]

I remember Casey when he ran street stocks in the 80s

[@dagwoodz28]

4:00 just a Mustang doing Mustang things....🤣

[@richiebledsoe1006]

That mid engine corvette driver don’t know what they got!

[@metrichotrods1763]

I watch a lot of these from different tracks. This place is too big and fast for spectator drags, but all the more entertaining 👏 😄

[@jamessizemore7103]

Part of me really wants to do this and the other part of me wants to be no where near knuckleheads like this

[@TnDAtkinson]

I was thinking the same thing. I'd love to see how my old Supra would do, but I don't have any desire to have a Mustang crash into my rear quarter panel.

[@metrichotrods1763]

The difference in the C4 and C8 vette are the processing power of the computer that designed each of them. Tangible in the flesh.

[@michaelthebarbarian3380]

Yup. I have one of the fastest C4's made (1996 LT4 car) and lined up against a C8 Stingray at a light one day.... Might as well have been in a Kia Sophia. lol

[@svtmaniac]

Like killing a spider with a hammer.. Great video

[@Froggyman145]

Black Corvette felt a disturbance in the Force when it narrowly avoided getting hit

[@businessraptor134]

Dudes gunna be back for another easy $500. Man that vett moves..

[@sidefx996]

I’m sure this is exactly what Chevrolet engineering had in mind when they designed the new Z06 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@j-l8404]

It's hideous!!

[@randyledford6496]

Definitely so they are still celebrating 😅

[@drivingdaily582]

BIG Gravy!!!

[@1950harleycharley]

I used to go to this track and watch the Reges boys from Daytona.

[@robj2704]

That mostly green vette had some serious HP.

[@jacktorse2145]

The 13-14 Mustang GT has too much power, not enough (or high enough quality) tire. That is a gorgeous car, don't ruin it.

[@sirseven3]

I'm disappointed the s550 lost in the beginning I think he was on stockers with a fat wing but they don't help that much in the turns compared to the gt350 track pack spoilers and barely enough tire to keep it straight on regular roads 😂

[@richardweyland116]

I've been on several tracks. The problems have almost always been Ford drivers.

[@Worldopain]

Suspension and tires. Cannot get the power to the ground.

[@cantbsdave]

He absolutely needs more tire

[@sirseven3]

@@cantbsdave less foot* he spun off the jump

[@jasonamerica7618]

Mustang has been roasting those back tires way too much. Nothing left on them.

[@jimmyrwilkesjr5127]

That sn 95 put it on that high$ vomit green with alien doors Corvette LMAO

[@anonymous-tn6ij]

Yeah, moving over doesn’t take the wind off of his nose. He was drafting if he moves over it puts the wind on his nose.

[@jimbeekman4863]

What an honor he got his picture taken with Suzy the hot dog girl.

[@thomasjordan6469]

Wow How Nice 👍

[@timsbike4887]

A Mustang crashing in a straight line! How unusual

[@1960Murf]

I’m guessing the black doors may be carbon fiber.

[@cbpienkowski]

Is that green C8 Vette that won a ZO6 with no aero? I noticed that they are ZO6 wheels at the end of the race...

[@dontadeshun]

Yes

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

That slowstang was just itching to go crowd surfing

[@RolandAdams-h4m]

are they driving 3-cylinder cars?

[@michaellewis2661]

he is going to subway off of 1&2

[@abelucious]

4:01 that guy did nothing wrong but his Mustang decided to embarrass him anyways.

[@timsharpe3498]

Just imagine how big the gap would be if he knew the track and the car. He was very conservative against the black Mustang.

[@eharris6347]

Just think if that black mustang had more horsepower and torque

[@timsharpe3498]

@@eharris6347 There are plenty of LS engines out there that can make more horsepower and torque for 1/5 the cost of Ford power.

[@eharris6347]

@tim Are you salty about something Go reread my comment I could give two $h!ts what engine is in what and so on I commented on if the black car had more horsepower and torque I don’t give hoot if it had a Hemi Lol lol lol Seem like you ready to cry over what engine this and what engine that I think all makes and models have good and bad things about them I like all cars and trucks

[@timsharpe3498]

@@eharris6347 The black car obviously has a lot more power than it had originally. Maybe he can’t afford all the expensive Ford performance stuff it takes to take it to the next level.

The cost of the Vette to win $500 lol

[@HighSpeedPursuit1]

How often do they do this?

[@SpeedwayVideo]

Schedule is at www.newsmyrnaspeedway.org - can always change but these last two years it’s been once monthly during the regular season

[@somguy728]

That's a C8 Z06, a supercar, he should have lapped every other car within one lap. I've done these events before in Canada, and it's one of the funnest things ever.

[@joeptny1]

That is not a z06.

[@DuMamesGarage]

@@joeptny1that is a z06 lol

[@PronycDragon]

That mustang was goin out on cold tires. Gotta heat them puppies up before the race!

[@captainkidd1329]

That white mustang, dude needs to wind out his gears before shifting so he doesn’t spin so much. But that’s a mustang driver for you.

[@No_Way_NO_WAY]

They look so slow. Are there some special rules, like you are not allowed to shift into 3rd gear or up?

[@TnDAtkinson]

Nope. It's just how slow street cars are compared to race cars. There's a huge horsepower gap from the road to the track.

[@chrisw443]

Mustangs gonna mustang it.

[@VenomRoadRacing]

Good old horse and cart suspension mustang.

[@kcbroncohater]

Corvettes rule!

[@jakerazmataz852]

We don't need the replay. We can do it IF we want.

[@StarChaser027]

Where everyone getting all these C4's?

[@wydopnthrtl]

I had one. THey are not so good of quality but have a lot of built in potential. Just add 150hp and sticky tires and they'll do quite well

[@RojoRed1975]

​@@wydopnthrtlyeah well what wouldn't,.. you're right, but so would a prius...

[@wydopnthrtl]

@@RojoRed1975 The C4 has the weight distribution and chassis to perform very well. Just needs more power. A prius can't stop and turn and accelerate w/just more power.

[@202newera]

How can I sign up to be a driver

[@biggravy732]

Just show up to the pit entrance, sign a waiver, pay, and come on in. Hope to see you there. Next (and last) one is 14 Oct 23.

[@v1-vr-rotatev2-vy_vx31]

Looks like the white mustang almost hit the black Vette

[@montestu5502]

I’ve never seen such a big gap before.

[@JRotten]

You've never slept with my ex.....lol

[@DarylCook63]

Mustang owners…”I can go faster if I turn traction control off!” (Nope, you can’t -I know, cuz I am one)

[@oldskoolbmw]

Is this the only time you will be doing this? Checked your future events and noticed no spectator drags.

[@biggravy732]

14 Oct 23 is the next (and last one) for the year.

[@JohnManus-ow6fd]

Why would you think you could beat a c8 on the track in a bubble mustang

[@b2b545]

Corvette cut the track disqualification

[@americanwriter2533]

🤩🇺🇸👍🤩🇺🇸👍

[@thomasblankinship98]

That was a C8 Z 06. Wasn't any car capable if really giving him a real run.

[@spavliskojr]

Never race what you plan to drive home.

[@klj2382]

Mustangs naturally attract that certain group of individuals.

[@timsilva1944]

More ambition than skill.

[@Cobra_427]

@@timsilva1944 He replied to a comment saying he had just thrown an E85 tune on it and besides data logging the tune the races was the first time he experienced the new power, I'd say he did pretty good to keep it out of the Vette and the wall, he definitely knew what to do in the event it got hairy, but personally I would've gotten used to the car with the new power before going out and racing it

[@dukeallen432]

Editing could use improvement. Show just the race. Start to finish. Then next race. Dont need replay or anything else. Just friendly criticism.

[@KCDW83]

The corvette only won with sheer horsepower not talent. Put the black mustang driver in the hideous green vette and he would lap all of them in one lap.

[@JonPrevost]

Why are the vette drivers such bad? All of them? On the brakes early and THROUGH the turns? Something smells like rotten fish. Those corvettes should have no problem sustaining high G's in the corners. Every corvette seemed to want to take turn 4 over the grass... what is wrong with these people?

i thought this was a diff track and clicked on it. didnt really care for the video. either they actually matched vehicles properly not the random matchups to get going. or this is pretty much a choreographed race session and thats not racing its playing. people toy with hot wheels. i clicked on a video to see racing. there is obvious sandbagging alot. that green vette is one of them. yeah you pay alot every month or rented a car and took it there. floor it. you came to the race track and didnt race anything other than the clock and ur bank account. my daily has yet to race one of these. every time i find one playing i show up and they find their manners or leave the area discreetly. its frustrating. my car aint much and i dont have much in it. whats the big deal.
