Helping out a few track owners on YT...

How many out there have a YouTube channel? 

Either for racing, for builds or just showing off your collection?  I have one but I don't have a track so all my content is pretty random. 

However, I'm sure theres a few here that would like a couple of extra subs so let us know your channel, or even a link, and you might gain a few more fans!

I do know that Northern Roads Racing is 4 subs off 1000...just saying ;)

  • I see tracks like yours and I want a timing set up. Fast, nice. — alva1370
  • I want a timing set up as well but to ship to UK it would cost a lot — RalphsRacers
  • My system is from Playrobotics...ir was actually shipped from Isreal, so it may not be as expensive as you think. — LONE_WOLF_RACING

Thank you for shout out. Originally I started this as side hobby, my main thing is scale models and I hit a creative block in that area. Started seeing diecast racing videos in YT and got idea, I guess I can do sonething else with my diecasts than just collect and let them sit in display.

5 years later still no scale models done, but channel is still going lol. This racing thing is addictive. As for subs, initially I didn't care how many I got. I just wanted to have some fun.

But with every "milestone" closing it kind of got exciting, somebody actually likes old school style two lane racing with simple track on the floor setup. Now when 1k is SO close... I think it's more than I ever expected to get with this. 

So huge thanks to all who have supported me over the years.


  • Plus one sub, I like your track. — alva1370
  • And ….. BOOM I’m happy to be your 1000th subscriber. Woo-Hoo — AbbyNormal

As I enter my second year in this fun and crazy hobby I am working on a YT channel. I post short races - shop / build tips - cars on dioramas or on turntable. I'm working on focusing on racing on my current track which will be registered here on Redline this next week. And will have 1 or 2 U-Pick races before building a new larger track in July. Still developing a video style I feel comfortable with.

  • Your track has the speed of a drag strip. I like your track. — alva1370

So I do have a question - I see a lot of nice colorful art work regarding races / events as thumbnails or illustrations on YT channels ---- are these all AI generated or is everyone an Adobe hotshot? 


  • I usually just take pic with my phone, close up cars on track. Then I add few simple effects like smoke or fire and add some hdr effect. All very simple and done via pic editing apps that can be found all over app stores. — NRRacing

  • May be helpful to film your build more, as should everyone, it inspires others, let's ya see how far you progress and if you share failures, too we all learn from them, too. Even the last place cars always have a trick/jewel to see, some are shrouded behind a great race, other times it's a one shot of fame. It's the same with tracks. Great Luck in the journey! — dr_dodge
  • I'm currently rebuilding a little to make the rear part more accessible. I'm gonna be doing a exhibition race on Diamondback Wash very soon — ManiacMotorsports

I have a channel, I've always been comfortable with having under 20 subs. A bunch of car guys hold a race called the No Name Nationals. To participate you need 500 subs. This is my only motivation.

The best advice I gotten was to pump out a bunch of shorts to increase sub count.


  • me too, if it happens, cool, if not, well, look what they are all missing...lol — dr_dodge
  • we do it for the fun! — dr_dodge
  • Think, maybe come up with something unique, but beware, added complexity = longer to drop a vid. more fame = higher pressure to??? and more work...lol, and self induced standard to be better?? or...were you better when just having fun? fun is organic, comes across the same way, almost infectious, just have fun!!! — dr_dodge
  • Hey Doc, maybe start hanging out by the train tracks. I like trains. — alva1370
  • yup, thats on the list for sure — dr_dodge

Just subbed!

My channel hosts season-long NASCAR racing on Fat Tracks which I can reconfigure on a week to week basis. Starting with this year, I score my race results position-by-position and assign points like the NASCAR Winston Cup series used to until 2003, except I give 200 points for winning instead of 185. After completing my first season with cars I owned, just to get a handle on announcing and video editing, I decided to jump into the mail-ins and it's a lot of fun!
