Welcome everyone! I'm a karting driver in Austin, Texas. I document all aspects of my racing journey, and strive to share as much information as I can about my passion. My goal is to share the things I learn, and create an atmosphere for this amazing community to communicate and grow.
As a kid, I always dreamed of a day where I could drive. I had a deep love for cars, and when F1 came to Austin, I was hooked. I started racing online with my friends and at first it was just for fun, but it eventually turned into a tool for me to develop as a driver. For many years I wanted to break into competitive karting, but could not afford it. However, COTA Karting offered a competitive league where I could prove my abilities against other drivers. After some success in 2019, covid hit. I was away from racing for a while, but the opportunity came to join club karting at the age of 15. From then on, I’ve been documenting my journey here and sharing my learning with you. Thank you for joining me!

56.1s Hot Lap - COTA Karting [June 2022 Layout]
Another track update, another hot lap!
Hopefully this gives you all a glimpse into what I could do with on new layout after a couple of sessions. I hope you can learn a thing or two and use it on your next trip to COTA!
This layout change is pretty significant, and increases lap times by ~2-3s. The lap record at the time of filming was 54.8.
Certainly not a perfect lap. The kart appears to think that straight means turning the wheel to the right 15 degrees...oh well!
Filmed on June 8th, 2022.

Cota Karting 55.831s! Onboard Hotlap At Night Tips On How To Go Fast! (8/10/2019)
"Let them through!" 2:39 continues to bump the shit out of that guy
I really like drifting so much, and each time that ruins my lap😂😂😂!
Tried this. Shit did not work (for me)
Nice vid, but people should learn difference between a gocart (kid or tourism toy) and a cart
Is it necessary to break at every corner? Or just sharp (90°+) corners?
Yeahhhh... never drift is not a generally good advice, totally depends on the track. On narrow (indoor) tracks, steering as little as possible and drifting is the way to be fast. Other than that this is solid advice :)
What about hair pins and S turns
Hi, I live in the area and was thinking about joining one of the championships next year, any advice/ tips?
Definitely visit the track on a race day and talk to people!! That's the best way to get info and learn about how it all works. Additionally, if you're looking for a kart, usually people will know who is selling their old chassis and point you in the right direction! Good luck!!
@ Thank you
Helpful, but suggest you warm engine up first to let oil flow out easier. Plus check oil level with dip stick.
Using brake is faster or not using brake is faster?
i keep accidentally drifting on this particular corner
Is my tires screeching considered drifting?
This is urgent comment My go karting in in 30 minutes I wanna improve my time So last time 200m track I got 20.667 This time I wanna get 19.588 How do I improve that
So how do I do that how I get a 19.588
@@Thetrainman5671 Sup man. Best advice I can give you is try to carry as much momentum through corners as possible. Try not to brake and accelerate too much. Smooth is fast! Good luck!
@@EthanPalosh thanks man
Well mate I did it! Probably a bit better then expected Got a 19.439
Thanks mate For the advice
Nice driving. I went two days ago and did 61.02. I didn't knew that we can use the red areas.
Aim for the mushrooms
So, I guess track limits don't apply in karting??? I'm confused...
Thanks bro that was very helpfull❤
can u teach how to warm up the tires of the kart
Have a team building event for work today at the go karts. 1st prize $150 voucher so am here getting some tips lol
@@handlesrt583 Good luck!! 💪
@EthanPalosh cheers mate ✌️ 🇳🇿
I’m going to carting for a party today and this has actually helped me so much!!! ❤
They want 15€ for me to record per race lol
We dont use the brake that shit is ass
I tried to GoKarding yesterday for the first time. I was 3.834 seconds from the track record. I did a total of 12 laps. It's expensive :-(
I’m going karting in 6 days for my birthday, thank you for the tips
love it ii just raced on COTA yesterday! It was so fun my first round was 100sec and second round was 80sec so that was good!
First did karting today. Loved it
Using the brakes at a straight line is not the fastest tho, using trail breaking can be what separates you from other drivers
I had an dirty driver ahead, he would just move to block me and when we gone side by side, he spun me 2 times, still managed to pass him as he was 1 second slower per lap
Be 20kg lighter.... 😢
Tried this today, came first place in the qualifying laps and maintained that lead throughout! Great explanation thanks mate
On my way to smoke all my friends
I know this by intuition
Born to race 🧠
@@EthanPalosh not i just doing aajonus vonderplanitz diet its only reason why i dont fear and get zero adrenaline from speeding maximum at first time i drove also 10 minutes cost 20 euros so no way to become pro
Do you have to heat up your tires to make them go faster?
Yes! In karts, the best way to heat up your tires is to drive fast on them. Friction when cornering is what causes this. After 1-2 laps, they should be warm.
using all of the track is really important specially for beginners, they are afraid of going too wide, so they only use something like 65% of the track, i've been there too
Thanks mate helped A lot I smashed my mates at my party. Cheers
Great vid! Im now ready for my next race!
I would rather sacrifice myself to the thrill of speed than fear death 🗿
A friend who was a professional kart racer challenged me once, or well I challenged him that I'de be faster to prove natural talent is worth more than when somebody (like him) learned it from an early age but isn't naturally talented, I won by the smallest margin, a second or even 0.8 but still I beat em so I don't take advice from these so called ''professionals''. Most of it if not all you are ''teaching'' people is just plain logic, I also highly doubt you are a ''professional''
ash Sutton at the start 😂
I’m watching cuz my friend has his bday on k1 speed lol im 12 and i play fh5 and the new forza msport
Went go karting a year ago with my friends lost by over 1.5 seconds went the other day after learning all this I beat the best driver by 1.3 seconds
Thank you brother.I just picked up karting last week and I love it. I didnt know it would be so hard. I cant tell what is making me spin when going into a corner (too much throttle and steering input at the same time) or (too hard on the brakes)? It seems I cant get the car to rotate around tight turns god enough. I either carry too much speed and run wide or I scrub too much speed and lead w the nose of the kart and cant get the rear end around. Any tips?
for sure! if you are running wide, try your best to get slowed down before the corner. For the other issue, make sure you aren’t ripping at the wheel (turning sharp and hard). Should be a smooth fluid motion. To get the kart rotated around, you can play around with the braking. Likely you just have rear brakes, so use that to your advantage to stay right on the limit of grip going into the corner and let the rear step out a little bit to rotate. You can also play with a tiny wheel flick to get the kart going in the right direction on turn in.
Thanks you s0 much brother!!!! So is it firm on the brakes to get it rotated and then the accelerator pedal helps (stop or neutralize) the rotation and straighten me back up?!@@EthanPalosh
yes, and in some cases being on the gas can aid the rotation as well
Wow. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate the time, pointers, and insight. Best wishes to you brother and keep going!!!!@@EthanPalosh
Let's go austin 🤠🤠🤠🤠
But I seriously learned a lot from this, so thank you!
holy my best is a 66s
Thanks, gotta beat my friends today.
How'd it go
@@itsk0na I won. And I liked it so much I did a tournament. I got second to last, but I was pretty nervous. And with my practicing I’ve got the 3rd fastest lap in my tracks history. I have a second tournament soon, hopefully I’ll do better
@@MasterBlakeYT super cool. I've always been into sim racing, and would love to get into karting.
@@itsk0na it’s really fun. I recommend if you live near a k1 speed, definitely go there. They are a great way to start and get a taste of competitive karting, and they tournaments each month
Dang those are some good times. My best was 56.67 as of late 2021.
Imagine thinking drifting is slower...
It is slower, you Lose traction
@@AdriianLavin No and yes.
@@mrleonspain Ok yeah your a little right i’ll admit, if you have the right angle and speed and traction you can Carry out a good drift, but still traction and speed is VERY important
@@AdriianLavin That I can agree with 🤝
Do you still race
Away at college for the next few years. Won't be racing karts for a while, but I am involved in the Formula SAE program here and will be driving those this summer.
1. Keep on the racing line. 2. Drift = is slow 3. Steer when it's necessary. Less steer = less speed is lost 4. Use brakes in a straight line before turning 5. Use every inch of the track 6. Stay away from slow drivers
Hey. Whats your all up weight in this class here? Driver + kart + lead! Do you reccomend the Compkart/
This is senior Lo206. When I raced at HCKC was 360lbs with everything included. I like the compkart because I had parts support there for it, so generally I would recommend getting a chassis that has parts readily available near you!
