Surviving The Final Night of Speedweek At Grays Harbor Raceway!

[@dbsnyder4503]

Carly, you really put down a great foundation to build off of this week! The experience you gained will pay off in the near future. You are very smooth out there. You have a bright future in racing!

[@billbaldwin1871]

Carly, you're doing better at your young age and limited experience than most drivers with similar situations. You can't realistically expect a win (or even a podium finish) every night; but it's great that you do. You have a passion for dirt track sprint car racing and a serious competitive spirit that demands a win every time you strap in. You aren't afraid to get in there and mix it up. When you've got a good car and a track that allows for multiple lanes of racing, you'll move forward. As you gain experience, you'll figure out how to adapt to track (and car) conditions and make the best of every opportunity. I can see something special in you and your brother both. 10 years from now (if you stick with it) I can see you both at the top of your game. 10 years may seem like a long time, but trust me; it goes by in a flash as you get older.

[@FanoFinz]

Carly, you did a great job once again! You've shown that you are willing to learn anything and everything you can to be a better driver. Keep at it young lady and can't wait for your next race!! Tanner, can't wait to see you race again as well!! Thanks for letting us watch as Carly and yourself grow in the racing world!!

[@tomabbott4980]

Tanner you do a GREAT JOB for Carly teaching her!!!!! when i tried midgets i needed someone like you. you are one GREAT BROTHER !!!!! LOTS OF LUCK IN THE FUTURE by the way Carly is REALLY GOOD.

[@larryprobus3263]

You two kids are impressive on n off the track !! Wish y’all the best !!

[@tds3681-d3q]

Get that girl some graphics for her wing....she's earned it after this week! Plus I hear adding them cuts 3/4 of a second off your lap times! LOL! Gooooooooo CARLY!!!!!

[@geothefisher]

All in all, the takeaway for the week should be a very positive one! Great job Carly on your first speed week!!! Through all the ups and downs, you remained positive and professional! Thank you both so much for sharing your experiences with all of us!!! Deuces!!!

[@samspade4634]

Tanner, if that mustache get's any darker, they'll call you the "Frito Bandito". Just kidding. Thanks for the videos and I love how the whole family works together - very special in today's world. Great job.

[@jeffhausmann7561]

That was a tough track, but Carly you did just fine! Another great job on the video Tanner. Your dad is an animal I swear! I used to like long drives but not anymore, especially at night. Well the car, Carly and the crew goes home in one piece so that's a plus! Love following your progress. ❤

[@burlapX]

finish every lap and roll the car on the trailer is a successful night to me 👍

[@scottbrenke1924]

Great driving this week Carly

[@leerouse2001]

You did great karly you did 👍 learn and adapt learn and adapt it's all about getting experience we're proud of you. From panhandle Florida

[@travishanner9970]

Great job Carly!!! Your first time running something like this can be intimidating, but you took it all in stride. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, GIRL!! YOU GOT A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD OF YOU!!!

[@georgeholmes1837]

Hi Tanner a super weeks racing ,well done Carly you have covered many track miles and have learned from your experience. Well done great to watch and to hear your comments.

[@bradbarber1856]

Tanner your sister is doing really well all she need is a little seat time and you will have a run for your money you are putting out some awesome videos on her and she is doing really well

[@raychap11]

You are doing great Carly!!!! It won't be long and you will be leaving your brother in the dust!!!!!

[@chrismitchell9338]

Great experiences. Good job team. Long week.

[@yrdGBA]

That kind of stuff happens ,you ran great all week and gained a ton of experience. I cant wait for the next one. Be safe and God Bless

[@pathartman5629]

Great Run up through the field even though you were scored a lap down!! Passing cars has to be a great feeling behind the wheel. More Laps means more experience. Plus the car is still in one piece! Keep on Charging!

[@denniskippaw5dpk]

Carly, I know you were disappointed with some of the results you had over this race week but believe me when I say you learned a ton. Racing is a game of ups and downs and you saw your share. The most important lesson was the hundreds of laps you ran under fire. The best drivers are not the ones who race like hell alone. The best learn how to be fast in traffic. Traffic can make you or break you and the best way to learn is to race in the middle of it and learn how to take advantage of it. It's a pain but it takes lot's of laps and some lumps on your head. You're doing fine and I see some "W"s in your future. God Bless you and the TEAM.

[@kensnyder9372]

Very good week , being all in one piece really means a lot . I'am headed to PA. for a few Sprint races ''''''''''''''''''''''''''

[@dahlilabane2982]

Carly is doing awesome!!!🏁🏁

[@ecldinc]

Cheers y'all. Hope you had a blast and learned a lot.

[@dacurlydac3042]

Great run Carly, love the over the shoulder shot.

[@jeromepotts8014]

Carly I think you did geat for the track conditions. The official on the radio and the flag man were obviously not on the same page ! Tanner keep up the good work.

[@melabshier5812]

Good stuff. Watching the whole speed week, the starts are key. Have to be the best at timing the start and getting on the gas. Then know where the grip is. All part of the learning curve.

[@allxdup1909]

Good work Carly, there's a lot to get your head around while trying to keep a cool head on track.. Things often don't go our way on track, sometimes I think stewards should be ex-racers, that way a lot of bad calls could be avoided- some stewards lack skills too, lacking the on track perspective... You're keeping your cool & that counts heaps, especially while you are trying to enjoy which is also important. Take a pat on the back from an old Aussie ex-dirt-racer. By the way- being a steward can also be nerve racking, so understanding their position helps you too.

[@dannyneihart1821]

Enjoyed watching your journey.You did a fine job.

[@allanroff202]

Carly your doing a good job keep it up

[@cashleatherwood7295]

Noti! Carly you have been doing amazing with all this seat time…. Just getting better from here 📈📈

[@tazzmanbees9832]

I'm sorry it turned out like that Carly I'm looking forward to watching you next year and hopefully you won't have as many poor situations like you did at this track I enjoyed watching you race you're awesome God bless and stay safe

[@islandcharlie7132]

Great week Carly. That looked like a very tired young lady.

[@tripperjones1294]

Is there anyway to order a 22c shirt online? Carley has amazing potential. I see big things in her future

[@rogervastagjr5669]

U did a good job Carly keep up the good work

[@rayjohnson7879]

Great job

[@joellajuett1060]

[@racinbrayson]

Hey tanner just wanted to tell you that I got my first piece of merch actually I got 2 and also I got a pic of you in your sprint car and it was signed and I thought that was really cool and also to finish this off I just wanted to say I want to see you in the Open again

[@carolinaghost5451]

nice race

[@morphman21]

Hope the big rig guy didn't get mad for you blocking them. And would love to see you drive one @tanner holmes

[@allanpierce8355]

Miss u in the carts Carly but do cool to see u in the driver's seat of a sprint car ... You can drive as good as u kick a football and that is awesome.... U r awesome and classy ... Classic moves and more fearless than tanner...and better than all the women driver's out there Carly . You are classy..can't wait for you to beat them all like you did in your cart. You must've having a blast ...be safe...and be fast..you can do it just as easy in your cool sprint car as you did in your cart. And bell and Larson need to watch out

[@matabeleman]

I think Carly has the heart of a lioness......

[@JoshuaFieldsWCSC]

Hey Tanner, long time follower. When will you be back in the central valley California

[@TannerHolmes]

Trophy Cup Hopefully!

[@maddoxgibbs5215]

Hi tanner and Carly how are you and how has racing been for you

[@fededabz]

That's a very grays Harbor thing to happen.

[@jamjams690]

Tanner and Carly, the only thing i see that you can maybe work on if you watch some fast guys race, they don't saw that must on the steering they sorta drive into the turn hard the car is doing the turning for them and then they might counter turn once or twice, i think if you learn that you will have faster and smoother laps

[@RegularJoes]

Thought you guys might have made it down for NARC at Merced last night, any chance you're rallying and make it down for the rest of the "Fastest Four Days in Motorsports"?

[@TannerHolmes]

We didn't get down there. Definitely a crazy 4 days.

[@gregbernal3237]

she need to just drive and not let tanner get in her head

[@carstengregoryracing]

have you ever raced Sharp Mini late models im wanting to get into it bc i want to switch from road to dirt oval. Any recommendations or tracks. I live in GA.

[@TannerHolmes]

I haven't but they look like fun!

[@carstengregoryracing]

@@TannerHolmes Okay thank you! Keep up the great work!

[@zumptt]

Cedric, that name is fitting for that b.a. little kid. Also what is going on with the hoodies? its August 26th?

[@okokokok987]

So great to see how you're all such a great encouragement to the young drivers and fans! They'll always remember.

[@TannerHolmes]

What is your question about hoodies?

[@tfatcher]

I saw Carly pass four or five cars and the lap counter stayed stuck on 19. Don't the transponder help sort this out? Sorry Tanner...now I'm stuck on transponders! :)

[@TannerHolmes]

She was a lap down. Sucks but it happens

[@tazzmanbees9832]

Tanner when stuff like that happens do you guys tell the race officials?

[@TannerHolmes]

Carly did after the race, but nothing they can do then. Its a tough spot and obvisouly sucks cause it screwed carly.

[@sprintcarfan87]

Nice joh, Carly. Too bad the track was lousy again.

[@richardmourdock2719]

First goal of dirt track racing.. roll the car back onto the trailer, the way you rolled it off the trailer....

[@Ntlogging]

When is Talladega

[@davidjessee7701]

Looking good Car !!!! Can I call you Car? For short?

[@unclebones2488]

not happy with guys running the show , that heat race start should have been called back then top it off with messed up yellow in the main event WTF, Carly you got skills can't wait for you to race again!!!

[@RusskiPancake]

When looking for getting into sprint car racing, hwo should I get my first car? Should I buy all the parts and build my own or get one that has already been built or partly built and fix it up? I would think I should build my own, but I don't know all the parts, or if I know anyone to be able to build a sprint car. Any tips to help me? Just finished the video! Some nice racing. Sucks that the false yellow messed up a few things

[@howardwest2707]

If you choose a 4 or 6 cylinder class and purchase used make sure you do a good inspection on the parts before using them. If it means a full teardown, replacement of all bolts and such then do it. Have the frame stripped and have the welds inspected by a reputable builder locally. You don't want a chassis failure or a bolt failure to wad up your gear before you ever get the chance to really learn. It takes extra time and a little extra money but it is worth it for your safety and your investment.

[@DieRomanttiic]

Win the lotto, or have loaded parents like Tanner.

[@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on]

The thing I would do is go to the track where you would race a Sprint Car. Go up to drivers / teams before the race, yes buy a Pit Pass. Go around and tell the teams you want to learn about the cars. Tell them you want to drive one and is anyone from your neighbor hood. So you can go over to their shop and help work on one. Then after a year of being in the pits they may let you hot lap their car. Also some of the teams may be buying new chassis and selling a 3 or 4 year old one. Some teams if you work with them for a year may let you buy a used engine and run one of their older chassis in a lower class.

[@RusskiPancake]

@@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on thanks for the tips. Defentitly have to start learning the parts and how everything works on a sprint before i actually drive in one. I don't know how to get a pit pass at huesets speedway, but I'll look into it. After the races we can also go on track and to all the different cars so I'll do that while I figure out pit passes

[@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on]

@@RusskiPancake If you are old enough to go in the pits by yourself go to the pit shack where all the haulers go into the track. There you can see where to git a pit pass. If the stands open at 4pm go at 2:30pm and walk around by where the pit in is.

[@michaelparker2933]

Have to say.......... not impressed with the race tracks you've shown in the PNW. Not sure if the issue is the track material or the prep but they don't make for good racing at all in the videos you've posted. In spite of that, Carly seems to be progressing nicely with her driving.

[@northbamabassin5445]

When is talladega

[@magillanz]

how does Carly feel being a minor celebrity with fans over the USA and in multiple countries

[@ArvyRacin]

First

[@anthoyellis5944]

I was sure I seen her passing but still saying 19 over and over.

[@glenchapman3899]

Yeah even after the first restart. She was last. So if there was a yellow - someone even broke down, or got put to the back of the field.

[@nicoflais8498]

the mustache....

[@haroldt9186]

To bad the setup was junk for your heat race

[@gregbernal3237]

tanner she has more skill than you if u stay out of her head she will win she has more skill than u you try to he man the car to much and not give the car what it wants

[@lasvegasbreakingnews1752]

Well, good thing you have youtube to document your efforts at pretending to be racers.
