So with Charles having dirt track experience with karts is there a possibility of seeing a built by cars and cameras oval dirt kart for local compatition there in your area with Charles at the wheel? I think that would make for a cool set of vids to see that. ( Just my opinion)
I would love to see a few more videos a year like this. The commentators of Charles and possibly issac in the future are awesome. Definitely try and stay to ur roots of building wild and crazy Machines on this channel but a few races vids scrambles in next season would be awsome.
Fantastic episode! I encourage you to keep going with racing. A 6th place overall on your first race is a solid start point. Charles in the voice over was pure gold.
So cool to see you racing John!! John 6th place is awesome !!! Never lift the throttle just work the brakes! 😁The first race I was in was an outlaw race at the fairgrounds. I started on pole lol 50 lap's. It was a blast!! Oh I finished 20th out of 35.💪😎
Looks like a blast! Thanks for sharing that first experience guys. I’m 33yrs old and just recently got into Karting. Ready for my first track experience and this video gave me an in depth look at some of things to expect.
I loved the "bottles of beer" song on the way home! Uh- been there-done that! The worst feeling in the world is waking up behind a steering wheel. Actually, it's the second worst feeling. The WORST feeling is NOT waking up behind a steering wheel! Glad you got home safe.
Seeing how these race karts are tweaked/finely adjusted would be great! Like a run down of the rules and regulations for the different classes and what adjustments you have to make to your kart to qualify for those races. That would be a great vid to expand on the Tillotson with! Maybe also a video showing us how to properly change your tires without scoring up your wheels?
amazing how fellow racers are so helpful. Raced Bonneville for a few years, and the guys from the "world's fastest street roadster (close to 300 mph) helped us tune our injection unit. and we were a long way from 200 mph.....a few beers and pro mechanics show up for work ,,,wow
Love the forward facing camera footage on the cart. Made me feel like I was in a video game. Right on boys! Next you guys could make a video game don't you think?
Looked like a blast! Enjoying your videos in my builds. 2 BT200X 1 stock 196 and a new Ducar 212 Bought a new BT and one well used which I did a paint job and the new Ducar. More to come.
The content is definitely good. I personally still like your guys normal videos restoring rebuilding adding more power. All in all still a very informational and good Vid. The commentary was great also!!👍👍
I'm just glad to see you on asphalt in a kart that is low to the ground pullin' G's. It is my personal belief that most of the vehicles you build are fun, but not go-karts. That being said, I love everything you do, and it is clear you are having fun doing it!
Great job for your first time out! You didn't wreck the cart and didn't get hurt yourself so, I consider that a win for you! If you really enjoy racing carts, then do it! Life is to short to not have fun living it!! I will always watch your content, I enjoy eveything life throws at us!
I would really enjoy seeing an entire series like this. I think u really just need more seat time in any kind of pack racing. Competitive or not doesn't matter, just close Kart to kart racing will definitely help you get more comfortable. Just going to a rental place with 10 or more karts on the track at the same time will really help you. The karts don't really matter once you are used to running in a pack, passing in really close quarters and drafting( yes drafting is super important in karting) you can translate those skills super easily and quickly to any other kart.
You cant take the gap if youre out of the racing line. Its the overtaking rider/drivers responsibility to pass properly. Stuffing someone on a motocross track? All day long. Road racing is a different animal.
Loved it. It's funny how racing goes. Often the better you get, and actually have a shot at winning the championship, can lead to more stress that erodes the fun. Vs mid pack hoonery.
Raced a GT3 in the SCCA for years in the south east, then switched to the WKA in the Yamaha spec series for a number of years, then WERA with a GSXR 750. All were fun and each had a learning curve. By far, the bikes were the most fun but also the most dangerous, FAST. Find the fast people and learn what they do. We (my wife and I) had to race on a budget but we were very competitive. Take your time and learn from your mistakes and you will do fine. Racing is VERY addictive.
Your channel is called "Cars"and cameras. Maybe check into a cheap 4 cyl car class at a local asphalt or dirt track. Just a suggestion. The go cart race was cool. Great job!
Would have been great to know that you came down to Florida. I would have most definitely gone to watch Im not even 2hrs away from Andersen. You drove awesome John! I live in the Karting world both as a passion and a business and this was great to see you join a competitive race. Im on the enthusiast/newcomer side of the sport.
Whenever Charles is done racing (many many years from now hopefully) he has the makings of a damn fine racing color commentator. Or he could mix it up. I see (hear) him fitting right in, in the NASCAR announcer's booth.
Cool racing and learning goin on. A thing to remember that no one ever talks about is in every race there’s a 1st and a last and every position in between, and u must lose in order to get better. It’s a big picture sport and takes years to improve. Good job for first go round. FYI - That hat needs to go back to the 70yr old woman gardener it came off of. Wow!
I’m calling the wreak on the other guy, you were already nosed into the corner when he came down on you it looked like to me, you looked a lot faster than him to me as well but that’s how it goes I guess. I wouldn’t feel to bad about it, if you weren’t fast enough to get that close to him he’d never been able to come down on you to start with , so good driving John, nice video as always guys 🤙🏼
Hey John you did very good that's very cool what you did good luck and good luck to the rest of your crew Isaac and Charles Charles was very good commentator on the race keep up the good work guys I love your videos and good luck with your rail make that thing run and don't blow it up haha
