What a race? We had such a good week for our team! If it weren't for a problem in our first heat, we would be starting more towards the front of the pack. Either way, I'm still happy with the results!
Superb race craft. last set of passes were next level. Could really feel how unhappy the engine was with the long straights tight turns It was very emotional coming from so far back and still get within a sniff of first. You never disappoint.
Its a wonder the X30s and KA's hung together down that ridiculous straight. Really good race, nice clean passes! Looks like the chassis and pilot were pretty well dialed - quiet hands...
@@matthiasvandekerckhove7979 They also ran KA at the Supernats (among others). I was mainly referring to the layout this year which meant the single speed karts like KA and X30 were at extremely high rpm for a long time down the straight. It's tough on the machinery...
Hi Ryan, I have watched this race over 5 times and I think through the braking zones you could brake a little bit later, but I'm not your coach but either way great job:)
Is this a temporary track? It looks really long. Longer than Sonoma which last I heard was the longest. Fantastic drive. Your competitors are going to kick themselves for taking the left after the long straight so narrow. You were eating them up by going wide, carrying more speed, getting on the gas earlier. Also noticed when you missed an apex, you fixed the problem next lap. Even with all the chaos of all those karts you kept being cerebral. Good job.
Great driving Ryan, that last lap was something. When you have a driver defending so hard and when you go for a move you know they'd rather have contact than let you though, how do you drive around that? then once you're passed how do you prepare for the inevitable whack from behind? or the nudges that knock you offline and they try to slip through the inside?
As the weekend went on I saw people gradualy taking turn one wider and wider and WIDER. Just wondering why the racing line changed through the weekend so much
At the start of the weekend people were working out lines, tighter was probably more natural. As the weekend progresses rubber was layed down, karts used more track and cleared the outside. Eventually it became faster to use more track.
I live in Vegas and do karting, how can I get myself into this league? I’ve done research but haven’t found anything, do I need to be signed by a team or something?
Better lines and throttle pick up points. You can also see it as he approaches karts. Probably got bumped a couple times after making passes as they had poorer entry and exit lines and brake/throttle points than him. He was quite consistent and great lines nailing what he preaches in his videos and you can “feel” the momentum as he applies throttle. Not sure what to think of the track layout, it being the LV supernats but enough variation I suppose to make it an interesting exercise of momentum and consistency for the driver.
All about the way he drives. At this type of races, at this level, believe me it’s not about the engine. Another fact is that after every single race they have to do a technical inspection which means the engine has to respect the regulations. It’s not a “free for all” race.
I thought dalton was bad just off what I saw on kart Chaser but god damn this makes it even worst. How to blow an amazing opportunity with An amazing team backing yoy
Looks like an awful track, mate. It looks like there was no grip whatsoever. How many days of training did all classes have before the race? Did it have enough time to actually catch some rubber?
Comment above is very wrong. Practice began Wednesday. Heat races starting Friday. This race was Sunday. Plenty of time for the track to rubber up - but it was fairly smooth pavement and remained low grip throughout the weekend.
