We drove from Texas to North Carolina to participate in the 2nd Annual CarsandCameras Backyard and Dustbowl 500! Day one was the Backyard 500, an unlimited class race around the entire property. We ran the ATV but had some difficulties keeping it on 4 wheels, as evidenced by Jason’s wrecks and Ike’s hurt shoulder from crashing the Honduki Quad. Day two was the Dustbowl 500, a dirt track oval race where the rules were yard karts with no suspension, stage 1 predators, and slicks (the slicks rule was up for interpretation). We had a great time and look forward to bringing the heat to next years race now that we know what to expect

Man, so we got in last night about 11 15. We did our 16 hour drive left at 4, 00 am and we got to north carolina. It's our first time being here, we're gon na. Take you around show you what we brought and then show you what everybody else brought introduce you to everybody.
This one makes clues yeah like dangerously all right we're here with ike isaac, it'll be fine check out his channel. I know you guys already know him already, but he's taking a fancy to the rotary turbo mini bike. Um, it's not leaving this property. Y'All are going to have to pry in my hands when you all land yeah hand, singular.
Oh yeah, yeah yeah about the hand thing i just i was trying to give everybody an advantage. You know uh, so, okay, no, i didn't i kind of got into accident out here and uh what i just want to say. I hope you all be careful because it's easy to get hurt out here. Obviously, cool stuff guys really love this thing.
This is this is a probably out of all y'all stuff, for some reason, this one's my favorite and, of course, it's because of the the rotary. I mean that is the coolest engine out here on the property right, that's seen a lot, it really is yeah. We spent all last week, prepping the tracks for the dust bowl and the backyard 500.. I'm gon na be on the bronco power.
Wheels. Four wheel drive machine here for the unlimited race. It's got good power, it turns really well. The steering is a little tight and, over the course of 10 laps, i'm a little afraid of what it's going to do to my arms, but i think i have a decent chance.
I am afraid of the grave ninja, hey guys, i'm kevin from junkyard diggs, and today i will be racing. The manco dingo saying he's gon na beat the heck out of me. It's a beautiful machine. It really is.
It is it's a little bit of dirt on the seat. Here. Don't worry about that! That's just from the vortex of speed that it induces around itself she's a beaut. Let's go whoop some butts damn i love this dingo.
What's up, my name is rather be welding. Uh we're out here at the dust bowl 500. So these are the machines that i brought because i was actually supposed to do original collaboration at durham town. So i brought everything for both collaborations because when i'm done with this, i'm headed straight to durham town.
So i brought my grave ninja 650 power wheels build as well as my new latest cbr 1000 project brought my dirt bike for durham town, as well as a little blue. Two speed go kart behind me right here for the dust bowl 500.: hey i'm greg from red beers garage, i'm braxton and i'm lonnie so uh. We build anything from yard carts and mini bikes to full suspension buggies. This is my boosted 670 buggy.
This has a supercharger producing about 60 horsepower. It's a lot of fun, i'm hoping to get to go finally rip it. On the trail yeah check out the channel. We build pretty much anything golf carts, stupid stuff.
We had a really uh last, ditch effort to make me a a fat boy car and luckily we got it done just in time, took us two and a half three days to get it done. So we're happy to be here and uh excited for the race, we'll see what happens hey guys. So it's the silly builds in the building, actually we're at cars and cameras, race track, and i brought my uh draw my two-stroke mini bike and my f-150 for this race, but a little bit about my channel. So basically i do a lot of two-stroke stuff and i do these crazy projects like most. You know me for the 100 horsepower mower that uh. Unfortunately, i wasn't able to bring because i'm waiting for some parts. Well, yeah man, i'm uh, happy to meet you guys. You have some really awesome, builds yeah, i'm looking forward to this race honestly with the mini bike, not really working to its full potential.
I it's the competition's tough, so give it my best shot here and uh yeah, i'm looking forward to it. What's up y'all we're taranis customs, i'm bobby i'm trey, big bob and uh we're here for the dust bowl 500. yeah. We are yeah yeah, we're gon na get after it today.
Um. This thing is probably gon na send pretty hard out there we'll see we're gon na do our best trying to kill anybody. Um we brought out our two big builds. We've got a couple: 420 powered your dog 3203's that are pretty heavily modified and uh.
You guys took him for a spin. I think you guys enjoyed it yeah. He hasn't had an extra fun time on the red car. America.
Crashed it a little bit. It's a little love tap on the tree. It's all in good fun! I'm going to hang that heim joint up yeah. This is the break part of your brain.
You got to get a little bit of each yeah. You guys got to check these guys out. Their cinematics are on point. Thank you, sir.
They gave us some good tips, so if our videos look amazing in the future, we thank these guys. That's right! That's awesome! Uh yeah, i was uh. I was leaning really hard to the left. Still in it.
I think the outside tire caught flipped me over. I just flew - i like probably tipped here and i tip started tipping like here. I landed like nearly in the grass, and then i mean i'm. It didn't hurt, though, but i bent the handlebars so now i got ta fix this, which is annoying handlebars are bent, but that's not that bad yeah um, let's see if it runs happened.
I was leaning, probably like this far to the left. Okay and then the right tire dug in and just flipped me up, we probably started zipping over here. I landed on my back like over there and then uh. I got this thing fumbled, so i bet the ceiling, but it still runs and drives.
So we just need to fix the steering, we're good sweet. You got any armor to put on or oh i mean we have a racing jacket, okay, yeah, so i should wear that for sure um we were thinking five laps, five minute break five laps. The trails are all one way this time. I know we said that last year, but they're like painted now so green means you're going the right way. Red means you're going the wrong way. Is there brown now they're all red, okay, there's cardboard signs throughout the trail of arrows for the big race yeah and some of them have arrows, follow green all weekend, we're having trouble with the throttle. So i cut a zip tie and then it turns out. I cut another zip tie that was holding our brake cable on and it touched the exhaust, so i don't know if y'all can see, but that's not working brakes.
So we cannot run the race bike on this race. So what we'll be doing is i'll be running. The mini atv and joe's going to be just driving the rotary, a little bit more relaxed so so uh. I ended up actually dubbing this thing twice during the race.
I did i dumped it at the same corner. I dumped it the first time and then there's a really fast downhill into a turn, and i dumped it again so, both times i kind of hit my head a little bit not hard. Luckily i was around the helmet, but um yeah, i'm out for the race. You know my vision was a little, you know blurry and i got light-headed so hopefully i'll be good for tomorrow for the dirt track race.
But for now that's all you're going to see of this thing. So i'm last because i was first yeah, the first race. How many you have the most horsepower by about like you have more horsepower than everybody else combined. You put your thing in the back, you put it on the trailer, so so hey.
I had to overtake everybody to sneak back up and i was hoping you wouldn't hear me coming because he was just putting up there in first with like a half mile behind him, that's the race man yeah. I know you're just sitting there she's destroyed that one. You all had some sick little cheap winners, a little cheating. I do really excited to see what all the probably more horsepower combined.
You know, combined with all the vehicles, so yeah yeah, that's what unlimited's for well, you had to handle that power too yeah. I think you know a monster. I had a hard time, uh passing lonnie. He was he was yeah.
I never got around lonnie. I got past trying to yeah right now, all right. What were you having for lunch? Yeah beer good question yesterday, third place lonnie from team redbeard's garage second place bobby on a earth dog that really has no business being that fast. Thank you from tyrannis customs first place chris rather be welding on the grave ninja hey.
Why don't you put some coolant on that thing and see if uh, if it's dead or not yeah, we can do that. Why not yeah yeah start raining, so usually we do an inspection at the end of a race right. We should see if everything still works. That's true, i don't want to expect.
I just started mine, so we know mine's good all right. Well, he gets a solid third. Okay, still good. Can you uh i'm gon na? I got ta get this trophy. Why don't you go ahead and sign it because you won? I left a blank spot: okay, okay, congrats man. Thank you, yeah you! I don't think you were really trying the whole time you were just trying not to hit people and yeah the whole time. I was in front of him. I was like yeah.
He could pass me at any moment same thing. I almost snuck up on you, you didn't hear me coming yeah. If i beat you into those woods, it would have been tough yeah. There was that one second, where it's like you really came up and i'm like nope nope turns out.
All you need is 80 horsepower folks and competent driving yeah. Look at that crispy spinach, a slow spin chris's face is a little inflated right now. Yeah my eyes are a little squinted down. They were worse this morning.
I can actually see out of this eye now, but uh yeah, my forehead's, all swollen. I got a bunch of a bunch of weird knots on my arms. My legs are totally swollen, ankles swollen and it's hard to walk, so i may not be able to participate in the race today. Uh heats of four people each and then the top two from each one of those heats is going to go into the final, which is the dust bowl 500..
Each heat race is going to be 10 laps and uh. The dust bowl 500 is going to be 20 laps. I think afterwards, if anyone still has energy it'd be cool to have like a loser's uh our losers or exhibition uh race, too yeah exactly runner up. Second winner, we'll switch cards and do it again yeah.
That sounds good too. So that's pretty much all i have, let's have some fun. Okay, guys all right, quiet down, class i'll, send homework for everybody all right, quiz pop quiz, all right! So i don't know how many people have done circle track racing like with other carts like continuous round and round round um it gets you get really focused and you really you know you're focused on winning and everything, but you got to keep your head on a Swivel, if you are in the front of the pack or even in the middle of the pack, you're going to be coming you're depending on where you set up, i'm not going to tell anybody any secrets. But if you're, either here or here, going into the turn.
You're going to have either a cart behind you in front of you beside you and if you decide to shoot for that turn, everybody right here is going to be all jammed up, so just be considerate watch out for fellow drivers. You know we're all here to have fun, you know we don't we don't want any kind of emergencies or anything like that, but uh, yeah and assume if you are behind somebody and they are about to take that turn assume that they do not know you're there. Nor can see you or anything. So just just you know be courteous.
Take the outside or you know, tap the brakes get right behind them. I mean you're gon na have another lap to do it again. You know, and just the turns may be the most dangerous spot to try and pass. I we haven't had two carts out there yet for a test, so we're just gon na we're gon na play we're gon na play it by ear. It'll be fine. We're going straight to four is good yeah yeah, yes um, mr teacher dangerous. Yes, sir, we wanted to turn on our homework from the last show all your work for every answer. I just don't you know, i don't want the google stuff or your parents helping flags.
Ike is the flagger all right. It's a flag. Man, of course everybody kind of knows what checkered flag is. That's, that's your last slab all right.
There we go green flag. Of course, we're riding go cars; man, it's cold out, it's cold outside all right, so green flag, that's after we're gon na do some pace laps. So no, you know we're gon na. That's like 10 throttle riding around kind of getting your bearings and everything, but the green flag is go hold my drink.
Let's go yes, boogie boogie, boogie boys, let's go racing. Big bob is pace car all right, so green flag is go white flag. Well, actually, i probably should i should probably do the yellow flag. Yellow flag is caution.
That means, if anything, if you see this, that means there's a wreck ahead of you behind you start slowing down, put your hand up. Let let no somebody know that you're. You know that you're stopping this. This is you know behind you.
That's all they're gon na see um you got white flag, that is last lap, surrender, let em pack and then you've got your final. You know your winner and when you win you get to do a little winter's lap backwards around the track with your flag, that's up to the owner. Well, it's still going to be dusty, but it's getting better. Hey jason! I figure as soon as he runs out of water, we're going to line up.
Oh three, whether the race was five laps or ten, so uh. The second flag was waiting for the wrong time, but it doesn't matter to me: that's the one. Anyway. Are you not gon na this is circle track racing? You need to go, beat him up.
Man yeah? No, it's the officiators, not fishy, i'm not going to be at the official. That was a super fun race. I had a blast um, it's a very narrow track. So it's really really hard to pass people and we brought slicks and on this dust there is literally no traction like i couldn't turning the wheel.
Didn't do anything i'd have to drift it every time i mean as soon as i figured out that i wasn't winning. I was just there to have fun. It was a blast to drive on very dusty, but yeah. This is a great little track.
The cart did very well for the limited traction it had. I'm sure if we had some knobby tires in a bit different story. So so i got a chance to race in, i think, the third or fourth heat, and this thing's pretty like on concrete this thing's a monster on dirt. That's this dusty and loose with these skinny slicks and this narrow frame.
It's definitely a different story is not as well suited as something with knobby tires, or maybe some bigger tires would be, and so on this corner right behind me here you get a lot of oversteer and you end up on the berm. On the other side, you can kind of drift out of it, but you do get some understeer. Sometimes if you come in too hot, so it's kind of a balance of like mixing the brakes in the throttle. Getting that back end to slide out when you need it to so, even though this weekend we might not have been the most competitive carters out there. It was definitely so much fun like these tracks are sweet. The backyard 500 was sick and it's been so much fun hanging out with everybody. So we don't really care that much and don't be revving when you shift okay, so so yeah. This is kind of fishy.
Isn't it yeah? I don't know man that was fun. It turned into another endurance, race, dust bowl 500.. I had a blast. What do you guys think kyle made third lonnie made? Second, second, what do you think kyle yeah great time, thanks for having me out uh the manco interceptor uh four horse did a great job and just kept kept plugging away, kept, knocking them off absolutely lonnie yeah.
Is that a dingo that was a dingo yeah improved slightly yeah slicks on the dingo yeah? It's awesome, i mean it's stage, one two, twelve and uh performed just the way we wanted it to uh. Just a little bit less than yours did a little bit less yeah yeah i mean it was kind of a race of like whoever can hold together. Just like last year's race yeah. I had a good time.
Like i think, 20 laps was a perfect amount. Uh cart handled real good. I don't know what to do with my hands. Uh we made a trophy, i'm obviously not going to keep my own trophy, i'm going to give it to uh helana.
Here we get to take it home, absolutely uh, but thanks for coming guys, lonnie appreciate it yeah. This has been really tall. Thank you, uh we're going to red beards in october, and now that should be a good time shout out to tyrannus customs. Vaseline builds facility builds rather be welding.
Um junkyard digs bill break repeat that has been a fun weekend and i can't wait to do it again. Can't wait to have you up in tennessee thanks man cool. It's awesome right, not phil is going nuts on the mini quad, i mean it's sketchy yeah, it is sketchy that was cool. How did it land um? It lands good, don't go fast around this one.
That's the tippy! One action! Look at him!.
Is that the guy from cars and cameras?
SONG NAME TO THE INTRO IS CALLED JIMMI BY ANDREW APPLE PIE
Y'all need a longer swing arm for that mini four wheeler
Would love to take my 250 Ninja kart on that oval ….all aluminum chassis with a 250 Ninja (2 cylinder 4 stroke water cooled) and a Dynojet speed shifter , that allows full throttle shifts without using the clutch (like an F1 and Indy car)
This meet up is SO cool ! …I was suggesting that you all get together a year or so ago , glad you guys made it happen …I am so jealous !
Great job on the video guys, thank you!
This is my favorite video of the event tbh. I love that you got more of the stuff going on in the background. Ike cooking, etc
Sick vid guy's That looked like so much fun 🔥👍✌️
you even had a rock in your shoe.Great video.
Lonnie actually Won per the rules, rules stated you must have slick tires on your kart ,1st and 3rd would be disqualified for cheating
That looked fun as heck,except for the tuck and rolls.Glad you weren't but a bit bruised.Maybe 4" wider each front?I was going to suggest a foot wider rear axle,but front lets the back break loose first if it's wider stance.Whatever you decide,we'll be watching.
Red beard always does great fab work but his stuff is always slow
Did he wreck right before the corner? Great driving skills
Great video guys! 😎🦖💪 So much fun!!
I love the sound of open header splash motors in the morning 🌅, Sounds like VICTORY !!!!! I have to give you guys an A+ for your mature coverage of the weekend at Johns. No dorky YouTube music. Thank you. Very enjoyable . Awesome 😎👍💞😎
A few other people posted there vids on the race but I like this one the most even though is was a little late, great vids!!
If can, widen out the front arms or make longer to help stability in turns and let some air out of the back tires to help with not digging in and catching?
I hope the Dust Bowl actually becomes a bowl…… with banked turns……. 😎
By far the best angle of the story in my opinion… This is more behind the scenes style… I like it…
BBR bringing us the funniest fails 😂Cheers to next time great meeting yall
I’ve watched all the channels footage and you guys got some of the best! Great job! So glad you guys are continuing the Channel without Daniel! GOOD FOR YOU!
This came out sick! So worth the wait! Glad I got to see more of y'all perspective than the wipe outs 😂
Idk about you boys but I'm ready to buy a dingo now😍😍 Great riding and filming with you boys, glad you made it out of there alive!
Good coverage you will get them next year I'm sure, you got some experience and that's always good…
I was surprised the street bike like tires dug in even with you leaning to inside. Track must have been grippy.
Come on admit that you were re-enacting Ike’s accident. 😁😁😁
That little quad needs a wider wheel base I reckon
Great video! Sucks the race bike was down for the unlimited race. That little bike is fast! Let me know if you ever want to come out and ride again or wrench on something!
Great vid guys! I thought it was cool for everyone to get to get to together and have a fun time! Great vid (:
