    I wish I could give this video 100 likes. I think Jesse did great for his first time. He’ll be faster once you get the car set up and dialed in, he has to remember with Dirt Daddy driving, the car wasn’t exceptionally fast. Anyhow AWESOME you all are back at the track!!!!!! Huge thank you to the whole #HTF family for allowing Jesse the opportunity to drive. There’s so many life lessons to learn from this video, trust, thoughtfulness, friendship, helpfulness, proud of the #HTF family. After all Jesse have fun, don’t get caught up in the moment and forget its all about having fun!!!!

    Jesse,in a high powered,late model stock car,there is an art to setting the car in the corner,turning right to go left and being able to hang on to it so you don't swap ends.Been their,done that.

  • @PhlippinPhil
    @PhlippinPhil Před 4 lety

    His comparison of real life to iRacing was spot on imo. Some folks say it is nothing alike but they are just looking ONLY at the feel factor. Sure you can't feel the car jarring you around sitting in an office chair and the car has a lot more "force feedback" in real life (though that is adjustable), but the input side of things is where iRacing shines. From my experience behind a real car and in iRacing, a lot of the skills do transfer over. Now of course if you go spend $40k on a sim racing rig, I'd say it probably would mirror that jarring and stiffness and most everything else. Best way I put it to people on iRacing with a typical desk set up is that you just can't feel the rear end. For being in a virtual world with virtual physics and feedback, it is as close as it gets. Many local drivers to me here use it to get extra practice laps. If they were nothing alike, it would be a waste of money.

    • @austinmoffatt7878
      @austinmoffatt7878 Před 4 lety +1

      this seems to be the trend with people iracing and then go racing for real. A lot of the pros say it helps them tremendously...only thing iracing is missing is the in car feel

    292 comments on Jesse taking a few test and tune laps. You think we are ready to go racing next weekend? Jesse did a great job. His goal next week should be make the feature bring the car home in 1 piece and not get lapped. His gets that done its been a great debut. My money's on him getting all 3 done. Jesse you got this!!!! God bless you all!

  • @georgem.6136

  • @purehades6885
    @purehades6885 Před 4 lety

    First of all I'd like to say that this is pretty darn Awesome of the Hunt The Front family to allow Jesse this opportunity. Through the first two practices he looked nervous and definitely gained a bit of confidence going into his 3rd session. Awesome to see y'all running again and good luck this weekend. The HTF fans will be cheering for you all.

    @wadecole1796 Před 4 lety

    Should have put one of the Joiners in it first to feel out the set-up. She looked tight. Great job Jessie! - I would not have wanted cameras rolling the first time I drove a modified - and thank god there wasn't. Good luck boy's - keep it up.

  • @rolandvia4826
    @rolandvia4826 Před 4 lety

    I know after working on a dirt modified crew for a couple years i finally was given the opportunity to do hot laps & the mechanics race in the car, i was so nervous at 1st, few laps in settled down & was so blown away by the power, absolutely loved it, did everything i could to buy a car after that.

  • @patwarson217
    @patwarson217 Před 3 lety

    The advice I give new guys that ask me is,my driving style is way different than most and it has worked great for me all these years,I don't worry about my set up the only thing I change occasionally is gears I just run the car and find out what part of the track it handles best and hold that line but that's just me the only track I run is bubba's so the set had stayed basically the same all these years, but my car with the 604 handles best wide open I don't let off the throttle and normally run the high side if the track is wet I start high and work low when it's dryer I start low and work up but y'all are more serious about it than me and have better equipment,just find where you feel best and practice,I enjoy y'all's videos thanks for sharing

    @Retired70 Před 4 lety

    Jeese did a lot better than I did my first time driving in a late model. The thing he needs to take away from that test session is , no spin outs no sliding off the turns and the car gets put back on the trailer in one piece. Good debut, good for Jeese.

      It is a shame people forget in a past video he said he’s only got to drive a pure stock 3 or 4 times. I’ve seen were some say he’s arrogant thinking he’s a great driver but he’s really not just a fun loving guy who likes to joke. I mean he said if there’s 20 car I would love to finish 15th. Not very arrogant.
