🤣🤣 yeah, Danny (Pink Panther) does have a talent for speed, but he also weighs about the same as my shoes

A good set of gloves makes a world of difference! 🙂 There's a couple of us using the same ones, OMP KS2 from memory 🤔

Also hoping to get back into the habit soon, it's been a difficult time of late, but beginning to look forward to the future again 🙂

I have a rule in this situation; Follow Aiden. There was a bit of a hectic pack forming and it served us better to break away, good job we did as I think it would have ended badly otherwise 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah. It was a shame you ended up getting dropped on lap 13. Looking at the times, we were all really close at the front and having the badger there too to take advantage of the chaos would've be good

@@aidenfinn7244 'tis what it is 😂👍🏻 I had a bit of a lonely time after that 🤣😂🤣 see how it goes next visit 👌🏻

Cheers Dude 🤩 getting caught behind a very slow mover under the yellow flag on lap 13 pretty much killed it for me, but I was really struggling from around the halfway point. Should have given the race a bit more respect, but I was a little hung over from Saturday night, dehydrated something chronic and swore I was about to have a heart attack at one point 😅 I'll take it a bit more seriously next month 🤣👌🏻

@@thebadgerdadskarting3562 the first time i ever went to teamsport, it was for my birthday, and we went out for pizza first - I soon learned that this needs to be the opposite way round :D

@@thebadgerdadskarting3562 what was your best lap in that race again? a 1:0X right? that's good going for hungover

@@sumnerspeed yeah, best was a 1:01.918 this outing, 1:00.4 I think is my PB. Just need to be sensible next time 🤣🤣

Haha yeah, they were there for about 3 laps 🤣🤣🤣

I didn't remember as this was 2 years ago, but you can see it near the start of the video, it was 19.

Thanks! Need to keep it super clean at this track as race control is rather trigger happy, I served a 6 month ban from there a few years ago for an incident that I'd still argue yet 🤣 back markers can be a problem at times since they don't use a blue flag system on this 40L race format as it would be a nightmare to keep on top of. Yeah, it can be frustrating, but it does keep it interesting, especially if you're in close competition.

Certainly one of the biggest indoor tracks, it is a monster 💪 usually after 8 laps or so your forearms are crying and you begin to wonder if you'll make it, then generally settle down and comfortable from around lap 15, you start to get into a groove then. This is definitely one of my favourite tracks 🤩

@The BADGER #DADsKarting haha yeah, the first time I went, you could feel it after a while, it's not just me then lol, I also found that having the booster seat,(if you call it that) was much better, and found I got around corners and got faster actually when using it. ah I'm glad it is your favorite one. It is a great track though i do agree. Bristol one was good but you dont have much grip in certain parts

No, I use 3M adhesive and it's going nowhere 👍

@@thebadgerdadskarting3562 thanks very much mate appreciated 👍

For the 40/50 lap races it's a random grid start, no qualifying gives you more time racing, it's just total luck of the draw.

You've just got to play the hand you're dealt, started dead last at Kristmas Karty 2020, need to keep making progress right from the off th-cam.com/video/qh-UEscMW28/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for that, will watch for it next time I go. This video leaving the pits was the first time I'd set out at Rochdale. Think that was yielding a 28, now on 27.1 but not done any full videos since, just clips in edits. Must be due another trip, January '20 was the last one 🏎️💨💨💨

60s, not broke the 59s yet, but there's a few at #DADsKarting that have and 1 in the 58s 👍 What about you?

@@thebadgerdadskarting3562 nice one! I’ve only been once or twice about a year ago and managed to get 59.8 really enjoyed the track it’s very physical. I mostly go to the teamsport Coventry and stoke track. I have the record at stoke at the moment.

I fancy a shot in the electric karts, not managed to get round to it. How do you find them?

@@thebadgerdadskarting3562 they are really nice to drive and can get up to some decent speed! After about 30 laps the battery’s start to overheat a bit though and usually means the kart dies out or you just lose power so your lap times go down👍 you doing BIKC?

I've heard mixed views, still really fancy a go 😁 Manchester Victoria is my nearest one, but I'd like to rally the troops for a trip to Stoke. I think one of the North East ones is electric too, might be worth a stay over when the world stops trying to kill itself 🤣 I'm not doing BIKC, some of our quick lads are, they'll be at Nottingham in a few weeks.

TeamSport supply everything you need for racing, but I use my own gear.

@@thebadgerdadskarting3562 do u have to use gear or a helmet is enough

@@abdullahmubarak6948 TeamSport supply a race suit, gloves and a helmet. These are required to race. Some of us have our own personal tailored equipment so in the interest of comfort we'll use that. Many of the events we take part in are quite enduring so it's nice to have a little comfort

Thanks 😁👍 was one of the most memorable I've pulled off, had the momentum and once started you just have to stay committed 🤣 Have you raced at Warrington?

LoL, apologies, just realised that's you Craig 🤣 of course you have 👍 are you doing the 40L in November?

😇😇😇 I wish you could see the start I made at the last race, still trying to recover the video though 😩 made up around 7 places 🤫

Thanks 😊 I think 🤣🤔 We just do what we do. There are more members videos on other channels, search TH-cam for #DADsKarting the ones from #HIGH5 are awesome 🤩 especially full race coverage with commentary.

Check out th-cam.com/channels/cWFAaGjmOYkbzeOAdQzslg.html

Not my proudest moment 🤭 got caught between 2 decisions, ooops 🙌

Ooops, just realised what video this was, I was thinking of another. It happens 🤷🏻‍♂️🤭

The BADGER #DADsKarting 😂

Cheers Dude 🤟😎 trying something different, there was plenty of opportunities early on so thought I should make a feature of them 🤣

Thanks Dude, unfortunately not quite enough to keep the win away from HIGH5 again, but it will come 💪

Cheers Dude 🤟😎🤙 not seen a comeback like that since Lazarus. Fancy a rematch at Trafford on 29th?

The BADGER #DADsKarting 😂😂😂😂 will check dates when I get home from working away and let you know dude 🤘🏻

Liverpool is a great track, very fast and flowing, you'll love it! 😁👍 I'm not there next week, I'm already committed to other events outside the group the next couple of weeks, but I'd like to do something on 29th, possibly Trafford 🤷🏻‍♂️

It was really cold and took a while to warm up and unpredictable at times, caught a lot out. Me included 😂

@@thebadgerdadskarting3562 that was me in Preston on ground floor track Sunday morning my fingers were freezing. Traction zero it was literally drift Tokyo all around the hairpins 😂 hope to find you on track soon👌

There's a load of us at Rochdale tomorrow night. 4hr endurance 7 to 11, teams of 4 £30 each. If you fancy it 👍 01706 310999 to leave £10 deposit and £20 on arrival.

@@thebadgerdadskarting3562 tomorrow it's night to get pissed we'll do it at some other time😂

Roger that 👍 have a good one Dude 😁🍻😁

Thanks 😁 not quite good enough as only managed 3rd, ultimately due to the incident about 48:50, lost way too much time at a key point then the track turned green and I was sat at the fastest part of the track crawling 🤦🏻‍♂️ I had to keep it super clean on this visit, my first after a 6 month ban. Warri can be a bit quick with the flags, but just adds a little character to the venue.

Them ones are cycling gloves, I usually just use them during the summer. I have a pair of Gill hard wearing sailing gloves I'd usually use in harsher conditions. I'd love a set of OMP KS2 gloves, but the budget says no at the minute.

Mid 27s roughly with an odd low 27

@@thebadgerdadskarting3562 i lose alot of time on the bend straight after the finishing line..any tips??

It depends how the kart and track are feeling, but I get as wide as possible, aim to brake in a straight line on the start/finish line, then back on the power for turn in, keep as much grip as possible and let it run as wide as needed on exit.

It's the same principle I approach most corners, dab of brake in a straight line, back on the power to drive through the corner.

@@thebadgerdadskarting3562 cheers mate..shall try it on tuesday evening!

Cheers dude, but I'm shattered today, it really takes it out of you as it's such a physical track 💪 I'd definitely recommend doing it, but with the advice to expect a battle to keep it lit lap after lap.

Glad it was of assistance. Loads of us run with our own gear 👍 If you're on Facebook there's a group of us that operate primarily across the North West, check us out at DADs Karting or for more videos on TH-cam search #DADsKarting.

Hi Dude, have you just requested to join the Facebook group?

@@thebadgerdadskarting3562 Yes i have mate!!

Awesome. Please check your request again and agree to the group rules and I'll get my team to welcome you in 👍
