There's Auto Racing in Alaska?? | Dinner with Racers S3 Ep. 1 | MotorTrend & Continental Tire

Best series motor trend has these days

I came here to address the scope creep in this show. It's clearly extended beyond it's racing roots to Dinner with... Moose, Bald Eagles, Whales, Halibut, Sea Otters, Boats, Pink Flamingos, The Midnight Sun, Helicopters, C130js, and the Coast Guard. And I'm all for it. Great Episode. I hope this inspires everyone to drive their Acura MDX, on fresh Conti's of course, to the Valvoline for some 10-W-hatever on their way to join the Coast Guard. Meeeeooowwww.

I love dinner with racers. They saved my child from a burning home and my cat from a tree. Thank you DWR for keeping my life together.

Thanks @continental for sponsoring my favorite sporty car driver and amateur figure skater in creating dinner with Glad you landed at motortrend.

Love this stuff and love @contientaltire for making it possible

Just keeps getting better Ryan and Sean! Keep the episodes coming.

[mikeshab]

This is the absolutely best stuff on the internet… period (again). So proud of Ryan & Sean of what they’re doing.

[courtneyricks]

Great episode. Thank you to all the sponsors who make it possible.

[troyottosen]

Alaska! No place even compares! Simple!😉👍

[toddhutchens]

Thank you for highlighting the Coast Guard. My father was a Coastie. Fantastic guys.

Welcome to Alaska ☀️😎 Land of the Midnight Sun and Extreme Fun! Alaska isn’t just a destination it is an experience!
Racing in Alaska is Extreme in every sense! 🏁
It is an adventure worth exploring.

There does not appear to be any bread on Sean's chicken "sandwich" during that Palmer stop. And that "chicken sandwich" in Fairbanks looks suspiciously like pizza. Couldn't get a clear look at what was in that styrofoam box in Kodiak.

And where is the Acura MDX with the Valvoline oil and Continental Tires???

I feel like I've been lied to.

Amazing to see Motorsport in this challenging environment. Great show!

[alanabryson]

So excited for season 3!!! Already off to a great start with the Nat Geo shots and the awesome Coast Guard access! Love these guys and can’t wait to see the rest of the season!

Some of the best content out keep up the great work guys. Living in Australia I could have never imagined such a large car community in Alaska so cool to see

[MrPikeRider]

This is pretty cool to see well done guys not something I expected to see in Alaska at all. It would be cool to see you guys find small road courses. So many places have small ovals, but you guys might find Waterford Hills Road Course (Clarkston, MI) interesting. It's a small (just over a mile) track pretty much in a neighborhood with all kinds of sound restrictions and such, but the track just had a repave and still runs every year. Perhaps Ryan can drive the Acty on a few pace laps!

Alaskan wildlife and racecars. Do you need anything else? 🤣 Thanks guys for the postcard earlier this summer. I've never been to Alaska, but it looks pretty like Seattle.

[botomblin]

Hey guy's go to Hasting Colorado and you can see breeding grounds and nesting of the Bald Eagle

[garyobrien]

if say you fall in water, you live how long, cold water

[DrJohnTaylorKent]

Other than the cheesy British announcer you guys missed Autocrossing and Ice Racing on Big Lake AND racing on the rivers--which is just plain insane. Natives on snow machines probably would rather not want the attention 'cause they exceed 110 mph all the time crossing openings in the ice on the Yukon and Kuskokwim. Oh, and the rest of the snow machine racers and the sled dog races . . .
