Dlmfan123,

So HTF is sorta like the Thomas Meseraull, TmezTV of the DLM world --- good enough, thanks for answering my question.

Tmez has been racing nationally for years now, him on YouTube is only a year or two old

Youtube, Instagram, Tic-Toc, SnapChat, are the new way.

You forgot Facebook.

Social media wise, this forum is the closest I get to any form of social media. None of the above are my thing, nor do I have time for them. I liked racing well before today’s social media driven world. Showing up at Monett Speedway on a Sunday night just to see if Moyer or Phillips showed up was good enough for me. My buddies use to call Larry’s shop in Springfield to see where he was racing, so I guess that was old school social media -- hahaha.

Thanks, Dlmfan123. But the two are comparable, correct?

I just looked at the HTF YT page ---- where in the world do people get the time to look at and follow stuff like this, and 20 to 30 minute videos. To each there own, and good for HTF getting that many viewers and hits.

My old job, I was a night shift supervisor. I had about 2hrs a night I could get some screen time in. I've changed to a truck driver since then, and then and add a wife, and kid in, I barely got time to keep up with racing news anymore.

If you do retirement properly you have 24/7 to do whatever you want. Not talking about saving tons of money being the right way. Keeping expenses down works too. I own almost nothing. Makes moving very easy...but I digest.

It does help to keep everything moving when you digest.

As far as Langenfelder reposing anything, that depends on the details of the agreement. I would think, certainly hope, both sides would have crossed their T's and dotted their I's in the deal. HTF because they have free access to a racing lawyer and Lagenfelder because he's operating a large successful business that probably encounters legal matters all the time. My guess would be that Lagenfelder thought this was going to be a REALLY long term deal and fell into the bromance of the team and therefore maybe got a little too relax making the deal not ever seeing this situation coming. If that is the case, it probably won't ever happen again to him.

He's a comedian. Ends lot of his short videos with I digest instead of I digress. But not everyone has my sense-of-humor. YMMV.

I'm 66 and think he's quite funny making fun of a certain ex-president & his cult members.

Soooo...37 minute Patreon video that says nothing. Said they can't say anything official until Friday. My guess is laywer says contract starts on X date. Say nothing until then. I only watched maybe 10 minutes. Was completely pointless.

And Whynot cancelled, rained out, with no date available to reschedule.

I’ll say one thing you spend a couple days pitted near them and you quickly figure out that the joiners give you some the worse fake mf’r vibes you’ll ever get. Jesse and some the other crew guys aren’t that way but the joiners themselves give you hardcore snake oil salesman vibes.

None of us armchair team owners have any idea exactly how these sponsorships work. Does the sponsor call X business and place an order? Doubt it. My guess is Race Team Y calls company and gets price on widget. Sends sponsor the quote. Sponsor wires team that amount of money to teams account. Kinda doubt this level of sponsorship is a, "here's $250K to spend how you want" type of deal.

Also remember, Joshua's wife is their attorney. THIS is what she's done for years. Racing stuff.

From what I've seen/understood thru their videos, two engines & one car "belong" to Langenfelder...but lawyers do lawyer stuff.

The first LH was essentially a trade. Found option on LH so...sold fairly new Capital because Langenfelder wanted them in a LH plus the Capital stuff just wasn't getting better. The 2018/19 chassis seems better for them than the new ones they bought.

My guess is best case...Langenfelder just takes the L. Worst case, LAWYERS!

with your post in post #14 , " were running it to keep laps of the clements & duckens : , you must be more to them than a " arm chair team owner " , any way , all I can say is I only met them once several years back and they seemed alright to me , I dont follow them or any one else on book face so I have no idea of there social influence ....
