Just to clear a couple things up after reading some of these comments: 1) I was not the one driving the car. This is Ashley's Mini Stock, she drives the #92 car. So it was in fact a "she" driving. Some of y'all can't seem to figure out gender, probably because you didn't watch the whole video. 🤣 2) I'm just her spotter, guys. I don't build her car, I don't have input on where she wants her seat or wheel. I just talk to her on the radio. 🤷

The way she sits in that car is not safe. The way she DRIVES that car, is not safe. If you are part of her team, you have input. Speak up before she or someone else gets hurt. I'll never discourage anyone from racing. The more racers we have the better. But people need to be educated. This isn't safe. She cant see over the dash and she's way too far away from the wheel because the seat is installed improperly. The seat needs to be stood up so the headrest is level and correct. SHE IS LOOKING DOWN HER GOD DAMN NOSE TRYING TO SEE! She shuffle steers the car because she's too far away to make quick moves. It's ALL wrong and it's all centered around that seat. Fix the seating position and you fix a LOT of the struggles that she is clearly having trying to drive. Best of luck to her in the future. Glad she's okay.

@@pjacquesracing You're basing all of that off a skewed camera angle? 🤔 Yeah...okay dude. 👍 I might agree with you on the wheel height, but the rest of it you're looking at an angled, skewed camera and judging distances and angles? Whatever bro. And at the end of the day, it's between her and her father who owns the car. I have zero input, regardless of what you say. I don't mind your comments, but you need to check yourself before you start spouting off about me. 😒 Younger drivers are taught in driver's ed to shuffle steer because of air bags.

Algorithm recommended me this. I'm Alberta's 3x Sport Compact champion, plus a sim racing enthusiast, plus a sim racing developer. Also raced late models sporadically for a few seasons but car count up here right before Covid wasn't great, so I sold off things. I sat through the whole thing, great editing and production btw, and gotta agree with the other comments. Some people believe classes like Sport Compacts are just a place for kids to race and not get into too much trouble, but the problem is SC's haven't been a kids class for quite a long time. These are still edgy, purpose-built race cars that require a subversive amount of technique, experience, & prep. What I saw was a driver turning casual practice laps at 3/4 speed who had never once been sideways before and didn't even seem to know the optimal line around the track, despite following other cars. The car unloaded because Evergreen has a wavy track surface, and they were completely surprised/unprepared that a car could even do that. You can tell because they were still processing the slide and thinking about what just happened, as they drove straight into the tires. Sim experience is a must IMO. And not just casually playing iRacing or Assetto, but getting to a place where you can consistently win online races. Cars can unload like this 2-3 times a lap and 100% of the time, saving it should be automatic & instinctive unless there's some act of god IE blown tire or oil leak. Otherwise you'll just write off more cars.

If I can give you any advice, it would be to throw that thing in the corners a little harder. Don’t be timid and trust the car. When we raced North Wilksboro in the UCAR CLASH I was worried that my Hoosiers wouldn’t hold the pavement but it will. Sounds like your letting off the gas way to soon and not wheeling it. You need a lot of seat time and practice but it will come. Remember be fearless and don’t be bullied by other drivers! McCrary Metal Works #44 JRowe

Glad she's ok, that was a hard hit!!!! I run with the same Zamp helmet 💜 great to see more women get into racing!!! Keep at it Ashley! The more seat time you get the better you will get. Everyone has a different starting point and learns valuable skills and lessons along the way as they continue their racing career. The only critique I'll offer as I too am a complete novice in the real life racing world is that she may need either a seating position change or run a smaller diameter steering wheel. Based off the in car camera it really looks like she is having to tilt her head back at an angle to look over the steering wheel to see where shes going. I say that just based off of the amount of times I've experienced that issue in my sim rig where I've had to adjust things to get my sight lines to where I can see properly. Also great job on the spotting Tim!

Remember starting at the end of the Feature is the worst no matter who you are or how good you were to get that spot. Your line looked really good. You kept your line when others didn't and that got you out of trouble at the 5.44 which was awesome. 11.15 was also exciting. Changing your line when the fast pack arrived is normally difficult for anybody. The 18 took your line and then good lovin went bad . That was like a pit maneuver from a Billy Bob who probably blamed it on his brother. I would want another shot at the 18. That looked like it might have turned out to be a pretty fun touch and go. Respect from other drivers is always part of running well.

Driver's head should be level, eyes straight ahead with helmet barely touching head rest during race. Steer wheel top is above and in her line of sight. Arms are extended up too far because steer wheel is way too high. After wheel dropped 6? inches, driver arm straight out on top of wheel, wrist should be forward of the wheel rim. a little. Car looks pretty nice. Lot of time and effort shown. Do you have scales? left side weight is critical, but likely you couldn't get over 55% left side without an off center chassis. Cross weight critical. Never ran a stock body car, so don't know a number. Running caster stagger? What engine? She lets off a little early? Might be handling issues. She will get better, and can learn to be mad first, then get scared. With proper wheel race studs/nuts, right side spacers help left weight if stock type wheels mandated. Started my round track racing with a first time female driver, mini stock car. and we had to install a steering quickener box. so less wheel needed. Shift lever ball straight across from steer wheel rim. Gas pedal same level as brake pedal and much closer to brake. Look at her foot angle for full throttle. Looked maybe track was damp, and slow steering. Don't give up on her. more seat time needed. Had a fun 5 years with the lady as driver. She was usually top 10 out of 20-24 car field. Pro 4s in mid-west.

I'm not going to criticise her for learning, as I am in the same boat in starting my own racing career but there were some things to me that look awkward. She looks like she's too far back in the seat for starters. It also looked like she lifted off completely, which takes the balance out of the car and creates a lack of adhesion. Just small things that she'll learn as time goes on.

Definitely agree with this. Sims are hugely important even at the amateur level, whether it's iRacing or a European-centric sim like Assetto. You really shouldn't be on the track without sim time. And sim time refers to actually getting extremely good and learning to race all types of cars against aliens online from Europe & South America. When I started racing sport compacts back in 2016 I felt prepared for everything and was instantly competitive. I don't recall ever getting lapped unless there was a serious car issue and even then I would just pull off. To me this kind of thing is 100% avoidable.
