Brad Sweet and Kyle Larson have talked sprint cars expanding internationally, but could we see High Limit outside the US as early as this year? We’ll talk about it, plus the Hunt the Front series field adds some heavy hitters, Sam Hafertepe’s sprint car plans and more.

If they run international races they’d be deemed the real “world” of outlaws
good stuff
Adding a comment to just add a comment. I hear it helps 🤣😂🤣😂
Brandon is gonna try to run there whole schedule
Did you get a new camera or change your lighting? Looks good!
Sweet and Larson taking high limit international is a big risk. Not only because of how many cars will be there but also how money would need to be. Plus how would streaming work? Would the high limit stay on flo if they go international or do something else? Not mention if this does work and that’s a big if what will the outlaws do? There’s way to many questions on this and we don’t know what will happen
Justin , did you get my pm about the High Limit show at Port Royal this year being $ 75,000 to win ????
It was on Billy , Danny's older brother , Dietrichs' pod cast that was on last Sunday. The pod cast was taken off because the volume was so poor .
Just wondered, I love your show , it's the best way to keep up on Dirt track sprint and super late model racing .
I have lived in Central PA all my life and your right t , it's been a hot bed for sprint car drivers both oast and future .
My son raced karts with Mark's, Zearfoss, Wolf , and many more when he was 12.
Keep up the great work .
Justin have you ever done any content on the World of Outlaws 2005 "Down Under" tour?
Ashton Winger will be tough to beat.
As an Australian theres a hunger to see a national tour here, maybe an offseason championship, like a high limit Australia championship through January Feb, youd get loads of Aussie teams on that I feel, and it'll be a good way to showcase Aussie talent, just a though
LIKE YOUR SHIRT TODAY
I noticed Overton had no mention of Longhorn chassis in his Facebook post about racing last weekend and thanking his sponsors
Congrats on closing in on 28k.
I like your enthusiasm, but I cannot see High Limit shipping their entire team roster to Australia or New Zealand.
Anyone involved in this part of the world (Australian and New Zealand) getting any parts shipped without major delays and complications is wishful thinking.
You are also relying on a third party to deliver your goods,
Any change in world or financial affairs while the cars are on a boat, will see your goods tied up in a port anywhere in the world.
Best option is to continue with what works both in New Zealand and Australia, and that is for high limit teams to form a relationship with a local team that suits their requirements. Plenty of teams using Maxim, J & J etc chassis that each high limit team and driver would be familiar with.
In New Zealand over the last 2 decades, the US drivers who would come down to race midgets at Western Springs stopped shipping their own cars and started using local car owners midgets.
Kyle Larson raced for a local NZ car owner, so did Christopher Bell, Spencer Baytson, Justin Grant, Buddy Kofoid, T Mez etc.
The equipment available to these guys is just as good as what they race in the US and in some cases better with locally built NZ chassis (King, CP3x).
It would be far more productive for High Limit to fly drivers and team members to Australia and New Zealand, provide accommodation, turn up at the race shop and go race. The financial costs would be covered by selling sponsorship attached to each High Limit driver and local partner team.
It would be beneficial to both Australia and New Zealand drivers aswell. Michael Pickens can jump on a plan to Australia as he regularly does to race a midget for a local car owner and Jock Goodyer can travel to New Zealand to race at Baypark in a 2nd Michael Pickens Racing Maxim with support from local NZ sponsors.
I am pretty sure aswell, Jonathan Allard and his local Daltons team would be happy to provide Brad Sweet with a 2nd Maxim Chassis to race while in New Zealand.
High limits in Australia could be true. I heard larson wants to race in Australia next year like rico did.
I like the addition of adding what races fans can look out for during the next couple of days at the end of the video and where they can watch them.
Canada, we have sprint cars series around the Great Lakes area. DIRT Car series Modifieds come up here every year and draw huge crowds
Hunt the front series has some heavy hitters. Great racing last year
Hope you follow the HTFSDS closely as the season progresses
That first HTF race at Dega may be a very good ticket since WoO/Lucas won’t be running that weekend and both will be on neighboring states the very next weekend so teams from both could easily make it to Dega and WoO would be running there the very next month for the Alabama Gang race
High Limit taking pages out of the F1 book
There really needs to be a concerted effort to space events to ensure maximum attendance from big names like KL and RA. This would benefit all tracks and fan bases. WWS and CB conflict which hurts both events. Australia racing dilutes this even further. I am sure this can be coordinated so all fans get to see the big names and tracks get more revenue.
ya'll keep drinkin that larson koolaid
kinda funny some of these high limit crybaby drivers complaint with WOO is too much racing but i guess it's not too much racing to run 60 high limit races, all the WOO crown jewel races and then go to australia to race all winter. But the 80 race woo schedule was too much for them……….
High Limit as a global entity of some form would definitely help the series trump what the WoO are doing, and is very ambitious. It could be very successful if done correctly in my opinion as a fan. Also, the HTF SDS could also become quite the relevant series, regional or not, at the rate they’re going. Very exciting what they are doing. Dirt racing appears to be alive and well. Great show!
This Aussie die hard sprintcar fan is beyond excited at the thought of highlimit coming down under! 😊😊
Con Migro would not be able to sleep, working out how to make it happen.
Would love yo see high limit come to Canada!
I wish sweet and larson well, I do, but I think they are going too big too fast, they are going to eventually get burned the more they put themselves out there, the series is bairly 2 years old, there are still lots of bugs being worked out its not like they are a 30 year experianced sanctioning body though they bought the allstar name high limit is doing ok so far but I think they need more experiance after just 2 seasons as promotors, as good and pretty much ledgendary as they are as drivers, there is a bit of differance, as for me I would love to see high limit come back to circle city or some of the other tracks in indiana, kokomo is great but we also got gas city, and montpelier and circle city, and near by in ohio limaland, and butler in michigan, and they got that crazy little track they do bc39 at turn three at indy motor speedway that powers that be said may eventually have a sprint car race at, though smallish as it is.
kokomo is nice but some of us also like winged racing in the north of indiana not just the south end at the burg, hobstadt, paragon, and bloomington,
but I could see high limit doing a race at the big o the eldora of the north oshweeken or down in oz and new zeeland
I think High Limits run a series in Australia within the next 2-3 years. Very much like what the old World Series Sprintcars was. Possibly start late November, and finish mid Feb. Racing under the high limit banner, they don’t have to have the series finished in time for Outlaws in Feb. They can control when the US series starts and finishes and when Aus starts and finishes to ensure guys who want to, can do both.
We’ve already seen Rico has ties with Toby from Sprint Car Hub, and he is a big proponent of getting a national series up and running in Aus.
No reason all the major tracks wouldn’t be onboard.
So all signs point to it being a big possibility.
But Australia has a central controlling body for dirt racing. Will this be allowed? How will the rules change? There is a need fit a top tier series do not a bad move. Will be tough giving a time difference for the US crowd.. I don’t know buddy anyone else, but I always struggle watching Australian races at 1or 2 in the morning. And also to the love of God shortened the show by at least three hours!!!!
