Yeah our Mustangs here definately have a lot more success than they do up North at places such as Seekonk. That's mostly because of the drivers. The red one is being driven by the current longest-running spectator driver in the country. And the black one is driven by a guy that's been racing on this track for over 30 years. Big gravy in the white Mustang is newer at it, started a few years ago. But his car is fast too so he does well usually.

Interesting question. Probably not but you never know. Thanks for watching effyfil , much appreciated.

@effyfil4277 it's Jay Bird not Berg. So no relation.

@@JustinOtterholt haha 😁 My bad! Thx for clarification 🙂

They should have let the airboat race, was definitely enough water on the track earlier ♥️ thanks Sweetie

Looks like fun , most of the time. Appreciate ya Justin

Congrats @JustinOtterholt!

Good to see Big Country helping those guys out, hard to find someone more knowledgeable about grudge racing then him. Much appreciated H3

No problem. Always good to hear from you Bobaque

Another fun night of grudge racing. Glad you enjoyed it ❤️

It had to be done 😄 Cobra Sam is quite a character. Much appreciated rftsfan

It'll buff😄appreciate ya Russ

@@FloridaManRacingChannel LOL

Going to be at New Smyrna Speedway today 9 - 4 according to Mustangs at Daytona. They responded this morning. Enjoy the show .

Fun time indeed 🔥❤️Thanks Katt

Better luck next time

He was uninjured, I'm sure quite upset though. He apologized for the incident. I'm still not exactly sure what happened there but I've seen accidents at the drag strip that should have been avoided or didn't make sense. Much appreciated RDC

@@FloridaManRacingChannel i was so confused over that race lol

@RDC_Autosports I was there and I am as well. 😄Hope to hear from Big Gravy soon to clear things up

​@@FloridaManRacingChannelPretty obvious the accident was the result of game playing instead of just flat out racing.

@johnmcmullen456 very much so. Appreciate ya John

You're welcome effy. Appreciate ya

Both drivers have been racing again each other there for a long time, I've been watching them for a year. The truck driver usually drives an S 10 pickup that is known to be slow and they usually give him a head start just for fun. Exactly what happened in turn 4 last night I can't explain other than mistakes were made for whatever reasons. Luckily no one was hurt and hopefully the Mustang can be repaired. Appreciate ya Bill

I believe its a Ford Fusion but I'm not sure. Not a typical cop car for around here but I do recall seeing them used.

@FloridaManRacingChannel I used to work fire rescue for a county in south GA. We had a DARE Dodge Viper car at my station, and I was so tempted to go for a short joyride. It was painted the mystic color, which was the same as on my 97 cobra at the time. I did get to go on a ride in it with the sheriff when I was dating his daughter, which was the best thing to happen to me when I was with her.

@littlebucks912 Fancy DARE car and nice Cobra btw. Chargers or Explorers are what most agencies use around Central Florida currently since they retired the Crown Vic and I'm pretty sure Cleetus McFarland has scooped up most of them in Florida. That Fusion does run well as he has been out there before, he's usually difficult to beat.

@FloridaManRacingChannel Crown Vics are weak compared to the current cop cars undeniably. I have several friends and a family in L.E. and they all say how the CV was much more of a tank compared to the current cars used.

@littlebucks912 They are definitely boats. Seem to be very reliable though, Cleetus races his fleet hard and they keep on running. No doubt the newer police vehicles perform better. The Interceptor motor in the Police Explorer likely makes more power than the 4.6 liter did in the crown vic

I own a 14 GT myself and my jaw dropped when this happened. Both drivers have been racing here since before I started attending last May and I don't think it was intentional. The Mustang almost looked like he was trying to turn onto pit lane he was so low and I believe the truck not only didn't notice that but perhaps misjudged how slow the Mustang was going. Just thankful no one was injured and Big Gravy was in good spirits about it. I'm sure he will return and I would be interested to hear his side of what happened when he sees this upload. Appreciate ya littlebucks

Just don't crawl around the track then turn into oncoming traffic pretty east to avoid....

@@charliesmith7942oncoming traffic is coming from the opposite way/head on, truck was so far behind in the middle of the back straight he had plenty time to see the mustang going to the pits but stayed in it and realized it too late. Shit happens in racing especially spectator drags, that race was a mess from the start 😂

@young11984 agreed. A little showboating and a little bit of poor judgment. Sad to see but it's the risk they take doing this.

@@charliesmith7942 EXACTLY.

I wish they would go back to running all the cars in a 5 lap finale like they did last year. Appreciate ya Cars and Cats

What? Turning into the lane of a pickup truck and destroying his car?

New Smyrna Speedway isn't really set up for drifting the way the infield is laid out. Orlando SpeedWorld or The Freedom Factory are more suitable for drifting. Much appreciated Burn

Only about half the cars they normally have for a spectator race, made for a quick edit and upload. Appreciate ya Thumbegg

Was a bit unexpected, glad you enjoyed it . Much appreciated SDUSA.

@@FloridaManRacingChannel I think we know what race I’m reviewing next 😎

@spectatordragsusa7922 Can't wait to see it! I subscribed. Appreciate your support.

@@FloridaManRacingChannel check your email I’m making that video and I want you in it

We Americans always put or little spin on things. I agree you Australians have the best burnout contest ( or skids) on the planet but over here it's a growing sport that's still being tweaked and perfected , with more Australians coming over to compete with us the more we will learn. Summernats is in my bucket list to attend one day but until then I will continue to enjoy watching burnout contests evolve in the USA. Much appreciated Joshua

@@FloridaManRacingChannel all good man def doing ive been going to nats for i dont know how many years i live in city its held in it is good to see it getting better over there but just hope the aussie boys drop a whole bunch of knowledge while there over there

If you go to the outside.... You CAN hold!!! Mustang driver: "This one's for you harry!!"

Don't you do it Cole!!!

Definitely a clean ride. Performs very well too. Much appreciated James

Thank you ❤

Everybody bitches after a crash at some point, just not all of them have a camera on them when they do it.

They ended that about this time last year citing insurance reasons. Those were really exciting, hope they bring them back one day. Appreciate ya Arrive

Much appreciated Willows

Luxifer always puts on a great show and is one of my favorites but the crowd was into the four wheel drive burnout the Bronco did, It was definitely unique and he got the win. Much appreciated Aloha.

Not really, the GTR driver knew what he was up against.

Sure was

We never touched. He and I are good friends, I'm just as fast as him but he is on a tire that is near enough a slick with a couple lines of tread, so I just couldn't stick in the corner as good

Those walls come up quickly if you mess up I'm sure. Much appreciated Gregory

Formula Drift always puts on a great event at Orlando. Much appreciated Maintenance

Great competition there! Appreciate ya Phillip

Congratulations!
