We Are Bummed! - Frustration at the Gateway Dirt Nationals

The final night of the Gateway Dirt Nationals in St. Louis, Missouri didn't go as we had hoped. I had a good line going on the high side before stalling the engine and causing a caution. We turn our focus to the Ernie Mincy Memorial in Casa Grande, Arizona now, where I will be driving a late model for the first time in 6 years, and Onyx will be racing in the limited mod class. If you can't make it down, be sure to livestream it at Speed Sport or IMCA.TV

Love the humor with the audio difficulties.

[@jfrette2004]

Go get em boys!! Bring home that hardware and represent MN well!!!

[@FreedomRock44]

I agree Zach you were moving up and that lock up just a bummer!!!!!!! Hang in there...get em in the next one.

[@lagniappe7303]

You saved the day with this video, Becky. Excellent editing as usual...

[@phillacy5545]

Off this topic, I know you snowmobile but do you have trail systems near you? Or can you just go wherever when you have snow? I live in maine and we can get anywhere. Just curious love both you channels ❤ keep it going

[@larrysmith8406]

got to love or hate them short bull ring short tracks and around here (the st louis area) there are a number of them. good luck in AZ. Hope Onyx does good as you to in the late modle

[@travisvolf1804]

That's a cool track high bank turns no guard rail turns 1&2 there is always a hole between turn 1&2... aka eleven mile corner/ Pinal County fairgrounds... I've seen late models run there..used to be in January every year, there manzanita and raceway usa in Tucson

Down here in Tulsa getting ready for the chilli bowl racing in the expo square building . They are paying the winner 20.000

[@davidblaylock5200]

You should build a Track around the house area. Onyx would like that.

[@bobkinney7913]

Man I tell ya, I would give a kings ransom to have my Dad alive to race again. They were some of the best times of my life! Good luck to both of you and safe travels!

[@betweentherows]

It's a great sport to do as a team!

[@MagnumCamNZ]

Man that comment is bang on! My dad didn't support my racing unfortunately but my best mate that passed away afew year's ago we raced as a team on dirt track and tarmac. Spent hour working on each other's car's, we had 2 each where the best time of my life, still think of the big goofy dude almost every day

[@truthandfreedom885]

Under luckiest kid alive is a picture of Onyx. But they just never realize it.

[@forwarddrive4066]

Could it have been the carb wasn't shimmed enough or too much? Extremely curious wht it was dying... Always try it again next year.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for the video. Keep on racing. You all are hard workers on the race car. You deserve some wins. Good luck to Onyx and Zach behind the wheel. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@betweentherows]

Thanks Steve!

The silent film feature was pretty clever way to fix a screw up

[@tsquare9168]

Zach, you could also do Hockey videos of Onxy and hunting content of You and Onxy. That would also make pretty good content along with the racing.

[@waterskiingfool]

Bad luck on that trip. Next year maybe

I have plenty of bad runs, hope you guys don't mind 😂

NOTE TO EDITOR: The content and all is great, but could we dispense with the black frame around the picture? I didn't pay for a 65" screen to watch a 60" video. Thanks! (Subscriber and career video editor/photographer.)

I've seen a few people mention that lately. I'll have Luke (our crew guy and editor) look into it. Thanks!

If you’re referring to the back half of the video it’s called selfie mode and it comes standard on all smartphones. Now you know 🤙

[@christophernowak3510]

Have fun driving to Arizona. I live in Southern Utah, so depending on which way you go, the scenery will be great. I-15 can be sketchy from snow, but I'm sure you will have no problem.

[@joshhubbard406]

Jimmy owns the Newport nightmare #20. Is local to me. Hard to beat. You was doing great. Anytime you’re ahead of him you should be proud because that’s his life.

[@Tanks-Link]

I don’t know, I might have to go. I’m in southern Nevada. I’ve been watching both your channels for years might be the only way I’d ever get to meet you. It’s only 6 Hour drive for me. and I have friends that live in Phoenix.

[@betweentherows]

Swing down if you end up going!

[@gregmonhollen4327]

Good luck

[@Brian-ov1rj]

Don't know how you call that racing on such a little track. More like bumper cars.👎

[@betweentherows]

Ah come on, short track races are awesome!

[@rupertsheldon7081]

What are you using for front clips on the modifieds. 3rd gen Camaro subframes?

[@coreysvor9174]

Front clip is a chevelle, '68 - '72 I believe.

[@halliedinkel9156]

What's with the red Bridgewater College tee shirt? From an avid follower in Bridgewater, Virginia.

[@betweentherows]

It's actually a "Ridgewater" shirt, which is a school near us

[@CalebVanderplas]

Good luck!!! He said new truck so now I'm curious as to what he got. Hopefully it's a ram haha

[@betweentherows]

It's a little larger than that lol.

Are you running a 604 or an open motor? I saw the Vic Hill sticker on the valve cover

[@rodneywright9421]

Nice to see the Summit sticker on the front quarter panel. Are they a sponsor of yours?

[@jonathanfrantz8384]

Summit is a major sponsor in this area for modifieds. The sponsor a lot of big races here in the Midwest.

[@computernerdtechman]

Why are all the words on the car backwards? See at 6:50

[@luke.schultzmedia9620]

Selfie mode on phone camera

[@rickharper1497]

Be nice to figure out what shut the engine down, fuel or electric??

[@betweentherows]

There were a lot of people who struggled with it. I think it's because with the extremely short gears, the compression braking was too much for those tight corners and slick surface. A lot of teams were turning their idle speed way up to help it. I wish we had thought of that!

[@brianmcclelland1527]

Hasn’t Onyx raced his cart thunder hill in Menomonie Wisconsin

[@brianmcclelland1527]

Do you post somewhere your racing schedule for the year.

[@betweentherows]

He has in the past, yes. We don't really have a full schedule very far ahead of time. Most of our races are in the upper Midwest

[@jonathanfrantz8384]

Hey Zach nice to see you down here in our neck of the woods. Have you ever considered coming to Fairbury speedway? You should come down and race at the prairie dirt classic this summer!

[@betweentherows]

I'd love to try it someday. It's a long haul for us though

[@jonathanfrantz8384]

We would love to see you here. It’s an event for sure. Two days of racing. Even if you just come down as a spectator. It’s worth it.

[@philleper2003]

[@randrews7036]

@robertengster5643 wow, you sure seem angry and certainly like to tell people how they should run their channel. Maybe you can make your own and show Zach what he's doing wrong. No ignorance on my part. It was read exactly how you put it and how it sounds.

[@robertengster5643]

@@randrews7036 Again, helpful was intended, and was a suggestion. Certainly your still trying to figure it out..Why troll others if your not even remotely, ready for the truth and reality behind it.?

[@randrews7036]

@robertengster5643 yah because when you make the comments of "How about the videos loaded up during the visit. Not after the fact" are "helpful." Being a troll? Hardly, but whatever you need to say to deflect from your own statements. I'm just pointing out the obvious. Seems it's you that can't handle the truth and reality from your own statements. Your 3 sentence comment is telling them how to run the channel. You know it, I know it, and everyone else knows it. If you were "suggesting" as you claim, it would have been written differently. Again, make your own channel with your own content and show Zach how it's done. He does this for entertainment purposes and can stop at any time. He certainly doesn't need armchair directors. Better idea: why don't you send him money to be a sponsor. Then MAYBE you could have some creative control input. 🤷‍♂️
