GTR Baja Bouncer Invitational | QF 3 of 4 

I was wondering what happened there. I thought maybe your commentary didn’t load

too bad the commentary was also missing.

agreed

Thank you! Greetings from GTR.

Hahaha! Hold my beard.😅

OMG, the half time ... taking marbles to whole new level

Isley is the drift king!!!

Thanks for the feedback!

Hey, Don I noticed your name Don Knott, at 69yrs old Don Knotts was one of my favorite actors, I went to his grave site at Westwood village memorial, just seeing his headstone made me cry, it's about two foot square with all the different characters he played, peace ✌ out my friend from Sacramento, California

Thank you for the feedback!

Isley received honors from the Alex Piz school of drifting! 😅

Yes you can!!😂

Sam Bowl!!

Thanks for the feedback, Billy. I know there's a minority who aren't too keen on the Scrambler. They say it disrupts the flow. My goal was to add a degree of difficulty that makes finishing 1st all the more difficult. Good builds like the ones in this video rise above the Scrambler most of the time; however, I think it was race 7 when Georgio passed Sam Haul halfway down and finished in 2nd. The main purpose is to make you hold your breath until it crosses the finish line.

The amount of variety on your track is part of what makes it so enjoyable for me to watch. I was just reading the posts in the RLD forum about the points penalty for tuning up the Baja Bouncers; which is also something that I enjoyed seeing the results from. Real car racing has testing, practice and tuning before the qualifying and before the race, with pit stops and adjustments during the main race. Being able to trade points for tuning or repairs for diecast racing just makes sense, especially for the rookies who haven’t had previous experience with your track. Personally, I’ve been looking for ways to tune my diecast cars in similar ways to how I’ve tuned my R/C vehicles before and during a race, mostly inspired by your track. Running down Hot Wheels, Crash Racers and Sizzlers track makes for some reliable results that most people can test at home but a custom built track like yours encourages some creativity and experimentation; but without a way for the builder to adjust the setup after it’s sent in, it can be risky to try something too different. The upper part of the track seems to reward a stiff suspension but The Scrambler seems to demand some softness. Little adjustments are certainly worth the 3 point penalty.

🎉Yes, a hard break. A bit of luck needed here as well.Yeah I'm still frustrated with my poor showing here, after testing etc here was positive. Oh well, back to the grind when I get home. Cheers from Wales in the UK

Luck is a part for sure. I could run these 4 again 8 times and end up with completely different results! On the flip side, i must release another "lessons learned" video. I can see what helps and what hinders far better in person, and i need to communicate that somehow. Cheers!

Catbird Seat: the position of most advantage. Lane 2 offers the best line into the Mesa Butte drift area. When the Train Jump Bonus is active, this position is even more advantageous Joker Lane: The track emulates Nitro Rallycross courses in real life. In that format, the Joker Lane is a _disadvantageous_ route each driver must take once in the course of a race

​@Chris_Hood Well said to some important questions.

That would be Richard's mom.

@@gravitythrottleracing I knew the top gun was Mom. Sorry about that, Richard's mom.

Richard's Mom has got it going on....

Rez almost had it! Had he finished ahead of Georgio, they would have been tied. Rez is very fast!

Thanks for catching that!

The way to enter is through redlinederby.com. I am part of a diecast racing community. Track hosts will post their race events here. This event and my next one are full, but you can find other events. I have a Gravity Throttle Racing Facebook page where, from time to time, i share about my plans to give builders an early heads up. Hope this helps.

If i remember correctly, Numbskulls truck veered back to the right side, so it wasn't close to the HMB guys. The marbles were close, but that doesn't qualify as a scare. Check out Johnny Smoke in the QF2 halftime. He pulled off a great scare!

How about suggesting some different music.

@gravitythrottleracing nevermind, I just saw the copyright note. Not dumb music but played over which I thought was weird.

@@HitchcockHaulin9118 oh yeah. I forgot this was the video where RU-vid decided to let me have it. No worries my friend.
