From being in the northeast it's awesome they finally put them in. Only thing I wish they would do is give options on what type of suspension you could run. You can run the J-bar, torsion bar, or coil overs in real life. It would be awesome if that was an option
I help out on a crew on the local level and our driver runs torsion bars. Ran once with a J-bar and didn't like it. Made the car too loose. So we went with a left side panhard. Best the car looked all year when we went that way. There's a lot to NE Mods that people don't realize
@@hobbo88 I’m a tad biased because I’ve turned a few thousand laps there over the past 5 years. I think it’s definitely the top race track in the northeast as far as racing goes!
Weedsport is only 2 and half hours away from where I live. I’ve never been there but just by being that close you know I live in modified country in the US 😆
Big blocks typically just dont rpm as quickly as a small block, which is why most oval racers use small block especially at short tracks. I'd be curious to see tho if your able to get rid of some of that with gearing. Great video bud (:
The 358 feels a bit more like a sportsman modified to me (small block with a 2 barrel carb) and the big block drive more like a proper 358 small block... that being said, I LOVE these cars and grew up around them at Utica-Rome Speedway. If I'm honest though. There's two tracks iRacing 100% NEEDS to add now. Oswego speedway (asphalt and dirt) and they need to recreate The Syracuse Mile from pictures. They might not be able to scan it (thanks to our corrupt NY politicians) but they can preserve it like they did with North Wilkesboro for NASCAR...
And the superdirt cars (bigblocks) have raced at eldora they where the support race for the nascsr trucks but they never showed more than clips on tv so you had to watch highlights or on division the day of the truck race a couple years I know of they did an all star race at eldora
These definitely drive the way I expected a tin top dirt car to drive. Get back into the right rear and eat. The supers and umps feel like driving off the front. Haven’t gotten to watch all of the vid yet but looking forward to your comments at the end
unfortunately the Big blocks dont race at Fairbury but you guessed almost everything right about fairbury with great racing and kinda a country town track but really fairbury is an amazing track
I feel the more setups start evolving the cars will shine a little more. I thought Iracing did a pretty solid job with the baselines. Just from the laps I've run. We decided to run the big blocks in the league im in as a series on thursday nights. 730cst if you ever want to join us let me know. We have a discord.
I will be looking for a dirt league for these. That’s actually not the worst possible time slot for me 🤔 reach out to me somewhere with info maybe that could be done
@@hobbo88 Look Up Rise Up Racing League on facebook, also if you put in an application on Iracing I'll let the other admins know to look out for it and we can get you in. We don't start our next season until january 5th.
Been waiting a long time for these. Got into Rfactor and the DWD mods because of your early videos which got me into Iracing for the dirt stuff! As far as Northeast tracks go, it would be cool to get Port Royal or Bridgeport even.
You should put the mods on asphalt there awesome on a asphalt track because you can get the car sideways and not really back out of the throttle and this is awesome I crew for HBR Jimmy Phelps cars and Max Mclaughin and this is very cool for Iracing
Hobbo 88 I Just started with the dirt racing and my modified looks like the tires are floating above the track can you help me with where to set the graphics so the tire are anything advise on to set the graphics so they are on the track on the track
@@hobbo88 just saying they should ad Middletown ny track to iracing it's one of the biggest race's for BBM in the north east last year calibrating 100 year's of auto racing at the legendary track "The Hard Clay"
