Corey Hosford of Driftbusters, taking a sprint car around the track. Thought you guise might find this interesting, or possibly lulzy.

(Story ganked from Jalopnik.)

bout like any other rookie. he would be lapped in maybe 5 laps

Not bad, but by the end of a 8 lap heat, he would be 2 laps down hahaha

Right then: as someone who knows f?!k-all about dirt track, what's he doing wrong?

I can see he's bleeding off a LOT of speed in the turns, but what should he be doing to maintain control without bleeding off that much speed?

Vtec

He's not setting the car into the corner, he's not driving the car with the rear tires, he's slow off the corners, he's not running a good line looking for moisture


Ect

In other words he needs more skinny pedal

I think I get most of the rest, except the bolded there. Could you elaborate on that one?

Dry slick= no traction

Moist clay= slightly more than no traction

if you watch the cars in front of sammy you can see the way they set the car up going into the corners. he needs to treat it like hes drifting all the time theres no speed if you arent sideways.



also this link kind of explains track conditions to a point. look about halfway down
