The video set up with the speed, times, maps ,and laps is perfect 👍🏽
glad you like it! put a lot of work into making that all work
@@dadhats I love this too, the only thing to make it perfect for me is a brake meter to go with the throttle one!
@@aidenless3479 I knowww I wish I could! I get all of the data from the obd2 port and for some reason it doesn't record the brake pressure :// there's gotta be a way to do it but I can't figure it out
As a former SV650 racer, I feel the “going fast in a slow rig” life. Nice video also, captions help us understand what you’re doing and thinking. Have fun out there!
thanks glad you enjoyed!
This was very entertaining. Raw, but not messy, and with not too many edits. This track seems just about perfect for a BRZ. I like how you touched the water and it clearly unsettled the car, only because it shows you are driving near the limit for the tires. Subscribed.
thank you dude!
Wow, really impressed how much performance you extract out of the car on stock power! That's pretty encouraging to a fellow owner weighing the cost of a supercharger kit.
I love this video format you have going on. I recently started tracking my GT-350 and got the bug hard. It's clear from watching this that you are FAST. Excellent lines, great balance on the wheel, controlling your understeer and being patient at the apex before adding power. I've actually been thinking about a GR86, or something with a B58 motor in it just to go full blown race car - slammed/caged/gutted/aero. The GT-350 is an absolute blast on track but the cost of consumables are astronomical. If you ever plan a trip down to Sebring or Daytona - let me know!
thanks man!! might be a bit biased but I rly think you can't go wrong w those new gen 86s 👌 a supra would be sweet too they're dominating the time attack world from what I've seen
After tracking big motorcycles and small ones I can tell you the smaller stuff is cheaper, safer and not nearly as scary as the big stuff. Same with cars.
I like vicariously watching you race on the track because you have a nice lil Subaru keeping up with the big dogs. It also sounds SO GOOD going "BRRRRrrrrrrr rubbrburbrub BRRRRRRRRrrrrrr", very asmr. Keep up the great work!
hahah thanks man 🤝
You really know this track. The lines you follow and the momentum out of the apex shows. Nice toying with the vette.
Damn dude, that melee restart sound effect at 11:19 was such a subtle, but perfect touch. Great driving too, so quick with that thing
glad some of u guys caught that! best game ever 😂
I recognise that sound effect as well. Good ol Super Smash Bros Melee.
Ahhhhh much better than the previous video 😂😂😂😂 I understand to a much better degree of how this style of racing works 👏🏻thank you sir you have earned a sub 👌🏻 I look forward to new and future videos
hahah right!! this is how it's supposed to go 😂
this is so fun to watch, just discovered your channel recently
awesome! glad you're here :)
@@dadhats i wanna get into track racing in the future when i start being able to afford modding my car
@@orian1427 don't always need to modify it! a lot of ppl track stock cars with just a change in brake fluid 👌
@@dadhats well my car is an auto and has relatively stock suspension, I generally get my racing energy out of me in my sim rig but if i were to track an auto itd feel weird at this point
@@orian1427 fair enough 👌
Quality stuff you’re putting out. Deserves more recognition
thank you dude! really appreciate that
DUDE Nice driving!! Fellow BRZ tracker here, love the video. Way to let em' hang my guy! I wish I could let myself hang out on the edge like this.
thanks bro!!
Your lines are great man great control of your car I love to see how connected people can get to there cars with out them realizing
appreciate it!!
Great video, great editing, great driving, and great content. Keep up the good work man you're going places 👍
thank u sir much appreciated!
Enjoying racing vicariously through you!
Your skill is outstanding! How do you recommend someone gets started into autocross?
thanks man!! I couldn't tell ya, I never tried cone dodging lol went straight from training myself on the sim rig to this stuff
@@MiataMatt thanks!!
@@Snoigel nasa actually has a really good program for this. I did one track day with them and they have in car instruction as well as class room instruction before hand
Just go! I’ve seen an old man in his stock Miata just cruise around the cones at half pace for fun.
As someone who does a lot of autocross, just get into it. Go through the process, ride along with people, ask questions and then spend some money! Lol, also depending on what class you are trying to compete in
Massive difference when folks are paying attention. I'm also a "slow car fast" riding with high-hp run groups and no one has ever complained. :)
Really enjoyed this. Looks like alot of fun car sounds good too.
Loving this content. Keep it up!
appreciate it!!
So fun to watch!
Your times are bloody consistent! You're like Jorge Lorenzo with these laps!)
You inspire me and make me feel confident I made the right decision getting a 2020 Toyota 86. I want a similar set up, I’d like more power with a supercharger or turbo but you’re right I feel it’s not worth the reliability hit, maybe I’ll do that once I have another car I can daily. Keep up the great content, you’re a great driver!
awesome glad to hear it!! these things are so quick when boosted lol it's like a cheat code 😂 I would love to have that kind of power not gonna lie lol
I love how on it you were during that lap at like 9:00. You can just tell how much quicker you were, and even can see less out of the windshield as you angle your head a bit more down and into each corner, thought that was really cool haha. It's like chasing down that RS gave you that little confidence boost to hammer down next lap :P Really sucked coming up on traffic, but such is life! haha. Nice driving!
glad you enjoyed that! thanks for watching
A competent driver goes a long way. Love the car. My brz is close to the same setup fbo e85, apex wheels with rs4's. Keep up the vids.
sounds like a sweet setup! e85 + sticky tires 👌👌
Build breakdown video?? Loving the track content!!! Keep it up man👍👍
I got some ideas for it since it's been so heavily requested 👍
Luke "NOOOOOOO"......you are killin me sir, excellent driving btw, I have a 2014 5.0 that i have taken out only once on the track. I really like your BRZ, I think this is the best bang for the buck sports car there is, i like Miatas too, but not a fan of roadsters, i would much rather have a coupe. Thanks alot for posting, i may be looking in to one of these soon!
hahah glad someone liked that. but yea these cars are great!!
Great video really nice driving. Good job.
Yess more track videos. I'm happy I found your channel and I subscribed.
awesome glad you're here! youtube really is lacking the track content I wanted to see so had to do it myself and give it a shot 😂
@@dadhats I love seeing how you can hang with cars that have twice the power you have. This shows me that I don't need a high horsepower car to succeed at the track. My Civic only has 140hp.
@@eliezergutierrez2472 love to hear that, hoping to see just how far I can take a low hp car! 👌
@@dadhats can't wait to see more videos lol Ike this.
Your videos are great! I too would love to see a video on your setup. I'm looking to get on a track for the first time and your videos are inspirational!
thanks man!! love to hear it! def trying to get people to give track days a shot 👌
Love the vids especially that corvette one hahahaha - I’m looking to hit NJMP this summer finally for my first time on track - maybe I’ll run into you sometime!
Nice. Looks like you are ready for road racing - its a huge level up from track days, and totally worth it (I road raced an AE86 for 25 years). Track looks like it really flows nice and easy; no doubt really rewards smooth and consistent. Always a trade-off... Pick if you like corners or straights.... Miata's catch me only in the really tight stuff, and I fly away everywhere else.... and that's in a Lexus LS400 lol....
maybe one day! don't really see myself doing that anytime in the near future tho
This is such an underrated channel
This is underrated Im happy your c8 video brought me here
appreciate it!! lots more content coming 😎
I don't even trust my car to take a highway exit at 60mph, let alone diving into these turns at 90+! You are a great driver dude!
thanks man!!
Randomly stumbled across your videos and am enjoying them. I used to have a 17 BRZ and have a 23 BRZ on order. Never tracked my car before due to expense/risk/lack of tracks near me but it does look fun so maybe someday. I’ve owned faster more powerful cars, but imo nothing beats a perfectly balanced, sub 3000 lb car with 200-250hp. Enough to have fun, but you also have to work to maintain speed (which is part of the fun)
you def should give it a shot!
You're videos are awesome looks like you need more power 😂 would love to see set up videos for camera/mic and track prep/go over the car/mods
thanks!! I could def do that 👌
Telling a BRZ owner to get more power is like telling a BMW driver to start using their indicators, it ain’t gonna happen.
I would love to see a walk around your car of the mods you put in and the setup you did. Great video !!
I gotchu dude! I've been planning on doing that I just haven't gotten around to it
Hola! Great videos! Absolutely brilliant how you include the maps, laps, speed, time data. Not sure if possible, but a split screen showing front and rear would be awesome!!
appreciate it!! I'm def going to look into it!
@@dadhats There's a channel called wheres981 that does a really cool split screen where they fade the front cam into the rear. Like this: czcams.com/video/9qloAMjKm9I/video.html. Granted, he doesn't include the steering wheel but you could still look into something similar.
you should keep uploading !! this content is fire
thanks bro!! def gonna do my best to keep this momentum going 👌
Amazing times on 300tw street tires! I pulled a 1:19:45 at Lightning last weekend on RT660s but significantly compromised brakes in my 350Z. Gotta battle it out sometime!
thanks! I'm def down 🤝
Your speeds through some of those tight corners are damn stout! Good stuff
thank you sir!!
I love the telemetry you’ve got going on! About to search for a video where you talk about your tech set up for the car and something for how you capture your telemetry details.
thanks man! the short answer is racechrono + obd2 port reader + external gps. I have gotten a lot of requests for this so I should probably get to making a video on it
Yeah it would be awesome if you showed us some everyday life with the car. How you got into track days and how to improve. I live close to Road Atlanta and Atlanta Motorsports Park. It’s been my dream to drive a session there and I’m just waiting for my 2022 BRZ to get here in October. You’re awesome bro!
I can def do that! think I'm planning to do a build overview first and how the car came to be in my possession (it's a fun story lol) and then I'm down to go over my track experience and how I got into this 👍
Driving Road Atlanta would be awesome, def on my bucket list of tracks to go to! played it on the sim a bunch and love it to death.
can i just mention how beautiful it is to just sit and watch this guy work?
thanks man! 🤙🤙
very good driving and fantastic sounding car.
thank you!!
You don't even have 50% of the c6 power and you're catching up! Awesome rip man!
lovely driving,
That BRZ rips!
Damn you were absolutely MOVING on lap 4
It's good to see someone pushig it to the cars limits.
Would love to visit the same event sometime and then maybe you can see a Corvette at the limit lol
Your a good driver!
thanks man! maybe I'll see you out there one day 🤝
Sweet drive 🚗
Awesome video again. At least one local dealer is actually talking to me about buying at MSRP, hopefully I can close the deal here in a few months. The 2023s are out, on the 86 (not sure about the BRZ), I had no idea they were out yet.
dang are they really?? hope you get one dude the new ones are a serious improvement over the first gen. they underrated the engine, it makes 215whp depending on the dyno 👀
I'm liking this channel. Just got a 95 Honda Acty. Not that it would be made for the tracks it would be hilarious to use on one once in awhile.
thanks man!! oh my god could you imagine 😂
It seems crazy to be that you are always foot down in acceleration but I mean you hardly skip the tires so well done!
He only has 156lbs torque. That is not enough to skip tires...
Subbed before even watching the video just cuz it’s called dad hats 😂😂😂
let's gooo 😂😂
@@dadhats make a video going over ur track setup
@@Dragon228833 I gotchu 👍
Love the SSBM sounds
I've done autocross with my uncle in his C6 corvette and my car as well. There seems to be 2 types of corvette owners in my experience: 1. Golfers 2. Trackbros who put in actual suspension and tear out those trash leaf springs. Nice Driving btw!
very true!!
Leafs are good for drag racing tho
Insane driving on your part tbf, mind if I ask what app do you use to track your time?
Nice driving, dad! Fellow 86er. Love the relatable meme-ish track day content.
Since you asked for interacts… what made you spring for the wing? Any track experience beforehand?
Curious, too, about the airlift suspension. Is there a comparable spring rate and ride height you can share?
Also, alignment preferences?
Much appreciated. 🙏
I got the wing before track experience lol I just wanted something that looked cool and track ready. don't even know if it works 😂
I got the car used and one of things that came with it was air suspension. not sure how to compare it to a normal coilover system tbh
and for alignment I'm running -3.3°f and -2.2°r
@@dadhats still looks mean and grippy as hell. Would super enjoy seeing wingless runs back to back if you’re into it. For science. Lol
@@eledgy honestly not a bad idea. I'd be very curious to see how the aero balance changes 🤔🤔
@@dadhats 🤞🤞🤞
You're a great driver. Are you in the advanced group? I love the footage and data, its very helpful. Looking forward to a video on Thunderbolt
thanks! nope not yet. still in intermediate but probably going to try to move to advanced, especially for lightning and Pocono. I'm trying to go there soon potentially early August if my schedule lines up!
great content!
Nice job friend
nice driving!
Awesome videos! Would love to see how you record things and what stuff your using to record!
appreciate it! sure I can def do that. the short answer is I have a gopro hero 8 with the media mod and have it mounted to my helmet
Good stuff 👍
Just found your channel, hooked.
thank you dude! plenty more coming 👌
Learning all the apex's and knowing how hard you can push makes such a difference. Practice, practice. Nice driving. What's your alignment & suspension setup? Seems like you could tighten the suspension a little & maybe more -camber? If you're already at -2 or 2.5 you can't go more.
yessir!!
Good driving! Good videos! I used to do this stuff all the time, before I had to spend on my money on kids.
I just wanted to say, if you're braking into that last turn, I don't think you need to. Pretty sure you've got the grip and the control to just lift through there.
Hey loved watching this with my morning coffee. So Im not qualified to coach anyone, but have been known to race some cars and think your on a very good learning curve. Just use a bit more of the track on entry in a few places and youll have your 119s. Also, think you need to be in a faster run group, if you could carry your speed thru several laps without all that dangerously slow traffic your there easily. Again, Im not trying to be anyone but it easy to see where you can improve as you do so many things correctly. Ps. nice calm hands as well.
thanks man! glad you enjoyed the video!
I did actually end up getting into the 1:19s by the last session, my gopro just failed me lol. I think I'm going to try to switched to advanced class, I've had a couple people mention that to me so hopefully I'm ready 👌
@@dadhats your ready ! What organization are you doing the track days with & when is next.
@@blakechesbro3602 typically run with tnia since they're cheap. I think my next one is in a few weeks at njmp
Entertaining stuff! A background camera every once in a while would be a perfect addition.
thanks!! you mean like camera pointed towards the rear of the car?
@@dadhats yeah, a camera that records behind you. So as you mentioned in the video the 350z spin-out would have been recorded. It probably wouldn't have to be as high quality as the 60fps pov one but having it would ensure that more action can be captured.
@@TheBigNate505 yea gotcha! I want to do it just gotta figure out where to place the "rear view mirror" in the video. might do picture in picture and put it on the dash so it doesn't obscure your view of the track
@@dadhats Ah good point. Honestly I would probably not have the rear view camera running all the time (because most of the time there's not much to see) but instead just insert full-screen clips of the rear camera every once in a while when something interesting happens like a spin out or close pass. That way you wouldn't have to worry about placing it somewhere not distracting and such. I'd also get a couple of other opinions though because I'm not a creator myself lol
@@TheBigNate505 that's a good idea! I'll figure out something there has to be a way to make it work
Fun to watch, I have the same or similar car. Makes me want to take it to a track.
do it!! they're way too much fun not to at least try it 👌
great driving
Great video man, and great driving! When the Z went off track the first time and you said foreshadowing, I honestly thought it was foreshadowing what you would do later lol. Glad you stayed safe out there tho. Do you know what happened to the Z after the spin out?
appreciate it!! it wasn't safe for me to continue to watch him in the mirrors so didn't get a good look at what happened in the moment. I tried to look for him after I had pit but couldn't find him. if I had to guess I would assume he was ok, there's a lot of room before touching the barrier there so fingers crossed he drove home in one piece 🤞
So my buddy just sent me this and said "I think you're in this guys youtube video" 😆. I was good and got right back on track (thankfully) . I tried to save it but ended up doing a few tank slappers before going off. That's what I get for trying to keep up haha. Nice driving dude, you were flying out there 👍. Hopefully I see you at the September TNIA.
@@MechDesignTeam6 better to mess up and learn here than on public roads. Glad everything was good with you!
Great hustle! What is the device you have on the windshield that is recording your lap times and time differentials? I quite like it.
thanks! and it's racechrono paired with an external gps 👌
I love watching you chase these dudes down! It seems like you could use just a little bit more power dude, how good is the stock intake system on these? Also how do you think it handles with air suspension as opposed to the original?
I definitely could lol. the air suspension is decent just really bumpy in the rear. it hates taking curbs
Pretty impressive driving skills
I love this channel a lot, just pure track footage. Do you have an IG?
appreciate it! def planning on expanding the content but it's going to stay track focused 👌
and yea it's dadhatstm. don't post as much as I should tho lol
This must be what my grandma feels like riding around in her rascal scooter. 😂
Nice driving and I like the steering wheel it reminds me of takumi's haha are you planning on any mods soon?
thanks! looking into seats, roll bar, harnesses right now!
Great driver in that Vette compared to the other video. He had a good race line but messed up on a few braking points. No biggie. You did great though!
yessir!! thanks :)
Half of it is knowing the track, the other is car setup.
I haven't tracked my C6Z yet but when I had my C5 I was often early on the brakes a lot because the car Stops so violently and so hard I would elect to break earlier and lighter rather than risk breaking two soon and basically stopping before the corner or too late and having the power and acceleration to make up for it was a crutch admittedly. Now I live 20 minutes from mid-Ohio and just got my SCCA membership Paid need to carve out time to pick out a helmet and hit a HPDE and get back into the groove.
Damn. For 190 HP you’re killing it.
thank you sir!
I did two or three events in my 240Z long time ago and I decided right away that I needed to Triple or quadruple a horsepower... a lot of your frustrations will go away. Put some 255 Square on there with a 200 tread wear or even 100 and it'll make it a whole lot more fun and buy them in the winter for the following summer. you can always find a deal over the winter. Just keep them in plastic bags and make sure they don't get below freezing.
I'm honestly keeping it low power on purpose! I got the money to boost it, swap it, or even trade up for a faster car but I want to prove to people that power isn't everything (even tho is a very significant factor towards lap times lol)
Great video!! What app do you use on your phone for lap times?
appreciate it! racechrono
You are getting everything out of that Suby. On the straight it looks like the suby does have much more to give. What kind of power do you have?
thanks! I think I was tuned on 93 in this video making around 180whp
Hey awesome vid what mods are done to the subie
thanks! all mods in description 👍
Whoa your channel blew up!
Keep up the content, I'm learning lots from you!
right lol it's so wild. guess I'm a real youtuber now 💀
Nice!
Holy shit looks so fun
it's literally the best 🤝
How are you getting the overlay to sync correctly? I assume you are using gopro to film and then track addict or something for the metrics? Only way I can get it on race render now is to manually time it up but thats not really accurate.
yep gopro, racechrono, and race render manual sync. since you can see my lap time in the video I sync it up with that. it's surprisingly effective
@@dadhats thanks I'll try race chrono. Nice to see competent Corvette drivers haha I need to get in that category.
Do you drain ur washer fluid and go small battery for track days? Helps a ton with the corners
I honestly nvr thought to do that. I do have an antigravity battery tho
Clearly you've shown that HP is definiltey not everything, great run at NJMP
good ole c6
Nice run! What tires and breaks are you running?
Firestone indy 500s and csg c2 pads front and rear 👌
Do u have ITBs . The intake sounds amazing !
Also great car control!
no ITBs here lol. thank you tho!
@@dadhats you should get some the throttle response helps so much out on the track
Time for a back Cam!
yessir! got one coming 👌
Corvette driver here👋 the car was on 320tw tires, stock suspension, crappy pads and rotors. First track day with the car, wanted to push it to its limits before swapping everything out. Very bad brake fade, high oil Temps, and crazy body roll stock😭
dang you did pretty good for your first time out! those cars are still crazy fast even without a proper setup
a fast corvette at a track day? this is like a big foot sighting.
I’m very curious what your thoughts are on the Firestone Indy 500 tires?
great grippy ties for the street although pretty sketchy in the wet. but only good for learning at the track. their limit is pretty easily reached once you get comfortable on track
