Hello, I am Noah Ackerman or as many people know me, The Purple Goose.
I am an aspiring racing driver who records a mix of real and virtual racing. I compete online in a variety of league racing and endurance racing on Assetto Corsa Competizione and a couple other racing titles.
I've done a variety of content on the channel as well! Anywhere from montage-style cinematic highlights to livestreams to uploads and commentary!
I hope you'll stick around and have a blast watching some of the content I enjoy making!
Hey Noah...at your age i was flipping pizzas 35 hours a week in a family style store, loving it. CORNMEAL. thats what you spread on the board or counter. Spread a thin layer and plop the dough on it. Pres the dough down med pressure until about 1 inch thick all across. Then on your knuckles not fingertips, fingers make holes. both hands at same time do a motion like you're make a heart symbolsnd turn the dough a bit after the turn. You should feel the dough loosening up. Move to one side of the middle and do this a round the edge trying to keep the same thickness all the way around. This keeps from having a big bowl shaped pizza. Do the same shaping until the right size and put back on the cornmeal to make it good and round push here n there. You got a pizza oven and peel (shovel) right? With the cornmeal on the dough bottom top your pizza, meats first veggies on top they need direct heat to cook. Recommend, lightly precook hamburg and fully cook bacon, sausage if using anything raw. Now gently slide the peel under your pizza and insert most of way in oven, then tip and drag the peel out just using your free hand on the outside edge of the pizzato slide it in the oven. The cornmeal makes all the difference. At about half way through gently slide the peel under and when you feel it on the peel take the edge and rotate the pizza. This gives you an even cook and you know its not stuck. When done, insert peel fully under and using both hands keep it level while moving it to close by for cutting. Its a gentle but firm touch. You have to really know the way dough feels before tossing it in the air. Most chefs dont do it it's a waste of time and dough as it often ruins the dough, but everyone tries it. Heck yeah!
I tried to find a way to message in case you want print. But I guess you copy and paste it print it if you want. Working in a small family pizza place was the most fun I ever had. The owners were right side by side with us whenever we were busy. We had a fryer, grill, subs and total of 4 large ovens. Plus hard and soft serve ice cream in summer. Sadly, the state rerouted the streets and tore down what was left of Main St after a fire in the 1970s. Hendersons where I worked and an empty shop and an auto parts store at the other end.
Hi I have my first race there at the end of the month the sprint race is there any tips for me that you have and at what point do you brake at the hair pins because I feel like I always skid a little on them thank you
Generally earlier braking is better if you aren't confident. Heavier braking requires you to slide the kart and can lose speed if you don't do it properly. Biggest thing is not going over the limit. If the kart is bouncing then you are entering the corner too fast. You can brake early and still carry as much speed as a fast driver. I brake by feel mostly so I can't give solid references.
Hey Noah, this is Jacob (the guy who wanted to talk to you at the end of the race haha). I didn’t get a chance to exchange contact info. Let me know if there’s a way for us to get in touch. Thanks man. Great Video 👍
Awesome 😎 found your channel. 🧁 It's okay if not. I was older getting my license. I was just scared. Did you get your driver's license yet? I think you do a greaT job Too bad my brother in law really can't do it anymore. No not a professional but is a race car instructor in Ohio. Made some deal where he does it for free, So he can get in the professional car races 🧁
Glad your back. I'm waiting on that informative video you might do. The steering wheels are so complicated l would love to know how they work. Every button and switch. LOL
Hi Noah. Love your channel. I noticed your set up video has over 2 K views. People love it. Maybe you could do another video like that but go into a deeper information with like your steering wheel and cock pit how, where, you made or got them. We want to know. Thanks.
Enjoyable race to watch but how frustrating !!! Definitely need cameras on track. If he keeps doing that will they notice and reprimand him ? Your driving was brilliant 😊
He's usually a pretty clean driver. Think he was just frustrated today with some bad luck. There's a lot of adrenaline in racing and you don't always make the best choices.
I enjoyed watching the F1 race on TV. Hope you had a awesome time. Hope you got enough video to treat us to a little bit of your birthday gift. You waited so long for it. Love your. content
I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining how things are done. Looks like your having a fun time and doing lots of practice! Take care!
Excellent job Noah! Great narration. I felt as if I was riding in the car with you. I have learned so much about racing from you. My brother races his 1967? Camero at tbe strip in the Chicagoland area. Loved the race.❤
A big congratulations on your position and race results. Please consider getting your drivers license this would give you a hugh mental boost that would definitely increase your talents in the physical driving areas. Plus it gives you hugh control over your own life and control over factors that might influence it. It would also really help your mom. If you are ready. When you make life decisions you only move forward.
Yea Noah! Great finish, P6 for October! That was great to watch you and to hear you ‘announce’ your own race! I loved hearing the actual moves in your own voice in real time. You seem to have excellent knowledge of your strengths. (And the areas you want to improve). I married into a very big racing family and watching my late husband recruit, train, encourage, teach, re-teach, and evaluate or correct his drivers was a everyday event. Many of your words are exactly what he would say to his ‘guys’. ( No women drivers). A very exciting finish. I was glad to see you overtake Mr. Red Helmet! Both he and the driver with the white helmet had great head movement, and I’m glad you picked up on how they were watching the action behind them. (I think they thought you were a threat …). Very important when you don’t have a spotter in your ear. I’ve watched your mom’s videos for quite some time and think you are a great addition to her shows. I love your comments, you have a very funny sense of humor, so dry and matter of fact. Noah, I think you are a great young man and I am so very impressed with your range. Just think of me as a meddling old grandma- and your newest racing fan! Keep up the great driving. I’m glad to see you enjoying racing, it can be tough, but it’s a great sport.
