Craziest Mini NASCAR Backyard Go Kart Race! What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

  • We spent a disproportionate amount of time and money building the mini Kevin Harvick yard kart and getting it ready for the Backyard 400 race in Indianapolis. These are some 200+lb adults jammed into yard kart go karts designed for kids. Some modified, some not. Great idea or recipe for disaster? You decide...

      I feel like if they don't want people to cut corners and use the grass they should put bales closer to the apex of the corner, i feel like the course design kinda allowed that to happen as such in my opinion... not that it should be taken that seriously though it's basically historical meme go-karting
      Seems like a whole bunch of fun

    If they're that desperate to have a Cavalier, they're doing it wrong. Travis might need to add some curbs to keep people in check. I suspect the super narrow track was intended to keep things tame, but it seems to have backfired. Hope the fun parts outweighed the ending for you. It was pretty entertaining to watch.

    • @lewisgordon1490
      @lewisgordon1490 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Possibly but I bet the primary reason for the narrow track is the cost of paving a wider one. A easy way of decreasing corner cutting is to put a couple of tires on the inside of each corner. I’d weight them down w/ concrete but while keeping the outer part of the tire hollow to keep them pliable to absorb impacts.

    I blame the organisers to a large degree in that they did no ‘tech inspection’, the track was too narrow,they did not make the rules clear enough during driver’s briefing and the marshalling was dreadful. I feel you drove well in your first race, managing the kart’s gearing issue etc. However, in the last race of the day your kart was totally outpaced by the ‘indycar replicas’ as well as many of their drivers cutting corners at every opportunity. I think you are wise to compete with like minded people at a well run, competitive and above all safe venue. Good luck. Steve UK 🇬🇧

      To be honest on qualification day I looked at those trees and said, someone is going to eat one! Not sure if cutting trees down there is as regulated as here in OZ , but a track widening into the widow maker is a must. Also the pole line cutting was clear non respect to race craft in that corner.. it needed t be hay-bailed. All on all great grass roots racing!

    The track needs to be 2 lanes all the way around and then a dq if you get more than 2 tires of the track in the corners because if there's 2 lanes available all the way around then the only reason you have 4 wheels off is to cut the corner. Still looks like a blast either way!

    Looks like a fun track, but needs to be widened to a 2 cart wide setup to give people better passing spots. And enforce a deduction penalty if people like some of those Indy carts cut the track. If 2 tires r off the track, its fine, but if all 4 are clearly off course, deduct a few points or do a stop and go like in nascar.

    Once again im late to the party, coulda sworn i was subscribed. Travis is a legend for putting on something like this, if there was a class my old dirt speedway kart could compete in i would seriously be tempted. Doubt they would allow a full blown alcohol race kart out there though. Either way looks fun as hell! As far as racing goes though, we always kept it clean and i actually enjoyed the inverted starts because it gave me people to chase and passing action. Running in the front the whole race was boring in my opinion. The grass passes were some bs though, needs to be like 2 1/2 kart widths so you have room to pass...

Note/Disclaimer, we are not producing these shells for sale and we don't have molds for these to do so. If you are familiar with fiberglass fabrication and using these types of materials, this might be inspiration to those who have the ability and interest to do so. We sell epoxy materials and supplies only and do not offer part fabrication services (our customers are the part makers). We figured we would share the knowledge since it is a cool application and not much info on TH-cam showing how it's done. Enjoy: th-cam.com/video/S-FsmEsQf04/w-d-xo.html

    Mitchell, you did some really good driving in your "stock car class", showing real driving skill! Inverting that field for the final race was a big mistake for a track that was this tight and narrow! Hope they learn from this, and make it better next time! The suspension in a go-kart is tire pressure, period! Getting that right is important! Having different size sprockets for the motor and axel are a must, to dial in a track! I used to race karts in the late 60's! Go-Kart 500 frame, 7 hp McCulloch racing engine, 2 carbs, putting out around 12 hp! Straight chain drive, no clutch, 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds!

      @@Stapleton42 Seems those late 60s were too long ago. His post is full of half knowledge and a little bit of nonsense. Memory doesn't serve well it seems.
      12hp McCulloch with no clutch does 0-60 a full second faster than a 125cc 45-50hp shifter kart? Nope, that never happened. In the mid 90s our shifter Karts had 42-45hp. On a good day and with short gearing it came close to 3 seconds.
      'The suspension in a go-kart is tire pressure, period! ' -wrong. A combination of track width, controlled chassis flex and tire pressure is what gives a race kart handling/balance/grip. This is why there are bends in the chassis tubes and why often there are more seat struts than would be necessary to just mount a seat and why modern chassis have up to two (1 front, 1 rear) removable cross braces. None of that can be done properly on what you did race in this video.
      Maybe you already have, but if not you should talk to Lake Speed about gearing and maybe making some changes to the chassis in terms of caster, ackemann and chassis stiffness.

    30:49 Anytime both wheels (both sides) of the car cross over a track limit that's a track cut. In sanctioned racing if you gained time or passed someone doing that you may get a warning, do it a 2nd time and likely be forced to serve a time penalty. If no position or time was gained (maybe you're avoiding a crash) no warning - no penalty typically (its usually at the discretion of the track marshal).

    There's a difference between putting the inside tires on the grass during a pass or a hot qualifying lap, having your outside tires on the white line and still be within the letter of the rules(older Indycar people will get that reference) and repeatedly straightlining a corner like camo guy...It's crap like the last one in particular that there's track limit rules, enforcement and "you touch them you die" kerbs in place today which can ruin somebodys race due to a simple innocent mistake over doing something with nefarious intent. The "There’s a distinct difference" goes for a little bumping and rubbing fenders and quarters to dive bombing and wrecking people (and then not owning your s*** and/or being a hypocrite about it). The latter is one of the reasons that despite all their other accomplishments and deeds, to this day I don't like Senna and Michael Schumacher.

You can tell the way they sound if they have high compression, bigger cam and adjusting timing but besides that, cutting the track is a big f**k you to everyone that tries to abide by the rules and if they aren't gonna enforce the rules, it's a big f**k you everyone that came there to have fun and expected equality, not who ever spent the most money like normal racing.
