Really enjoyable videos. You’re very well spoken and professional in your commentary and analytics which just makes your videos that much more enjoyable to watch. Very well put together for your age, keep at it.
Maybe soon!! Now that I'm legal (weight wise) its an opportunity! I'm not racing for the next few months but I've got my eye on this spring as a possibility :)
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!
Not yet!! I barely made it in town for this race and with the new weight install I didn’t have any time :( My carb is set up by Morgan (usually fastest kart on track) at the moment, and I don’t necessarily want to tweak it until I know I have something that works. I’m considering getting a second carb to mess around with and experiment in the future. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it to any races this fall, but I’ll try to implement it when I get back out there! I appreciate the reminders because I keep forgetting!! :)
@@EthanPalosh That's fine, Keep in mind, no two karts are the same. What works for the fastest kart may not do yours any good. Do what works for your kart. ;) Also, lol, I guess it's now called "The Game Changer" Is a different setting from carb to carb. But what I told you is the middle point of finding that sweet spot. There will come a time, when your after that win, You will give it a shot. Using a second carb is a great idea! Even the angle of the carb mount can make the difference, so, write down everything. Take pictures and add notes on your settings and keep a log. When you find the sweet spot you will know it. staying on the rich side of the sweet spot is the cooler running side of the setting, and the lean side is hot running. Keep it cool kid! Have fun, and don't be scared to try new things. Work on one thing at a time, finding that perfect tire pressure, front and rear grip adjustments, kart balancing, on and on...
Have you had a chance to drive a Tillotson 225RS yet? They seem to be taking over the L0206 class (at least in Europe), as it's a cheaper powerplant with similar longevity and nearly twice the power. Well worth trying if you find one.
Hey!! I had never heard of it until now. I just looked it up and watched some videos - seems pretty awesome! I will definitely give it a try if I get my hands on one.
Hey I am 13 and I am trying to get into karting and my parents arent able to pay for a kart but are willing to pay for the acctual season. I was wondering about how much it cost to get the lo2o6 kart with any chassis. Also fuel tires spare parts and other things like that for a season . Thank you love your vids
Hey Ben! My kart was $3100 used, and it probably cost close to $900 for safety equipment including helmet (don't cheap out on safety!!). Tires are around $200 per set. and spare parts are a few hundred a year (more or less depending on what breaks). Fuel is not expensive at all bc it runs off pump gas. Races are around $60 per round at my track, but that can vary. Hope this helps!! Thanks so much for watching!
@@benpierce61 This one depends on your track. We use a very hard compound on concrete, so only a couple times a year. But other tracks run asphalt which degrades faster and softer tires contribute as well...the best way to find out is to ask around at your local track.
@@Bwatt5000 No prize money, just the opportunity to compete and have fun! In it for the racing....there's not really a career feasible in karting as a driver
Hey! I did not attend any kind of school for karting, just learned from sim racing and practice on track! There are a lot of great resources online. For the camera, I use an insta360 One R.
is the top speed on all karts the same? or some karts are faster than others. Im from toronto canada and looking to get into kart racing. good footage brother
Thanks so much!! Yes, depending on what class you run, the speed can change around. This class (Lo206) maxes out at around 55-60mph (88.5-96.5 kph) at my track, but gearing it differently for certain tracks in other places can reach up to 70! (112.6kph) Two-strokes are even faster.
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!!
Great idea!!! Right now my camera blocks a lot of the sound out when I'm at speed because of wind noise, but I'll experiment with some ways to get the engine sound in there. Thanks!!
Hey!! I would reccomend taking a look at Hill Country Kart Club in New Braunfels. It's the closest track that offers club karting. Look at the schedule and find out when the next race is (starts again early 2022). The best way to get into it is to visit a race and talk to some people!
Hey! There are plenty of ways to break into the sport. I started my real-life karting journey in rental karts, so I would recommend starting there and working your way up!!
Good question! That was Riley, he races GT3 cup cars. He obviously has well proven driving ability…We suspect there may be some special sauce on his kart, but can never be sure! He’s a freaky fast driver that’s for sure!
@@EthanPalosh that’s what I was thinking but since I am just learning about Kart racing I didn’t want to be accusatory but the kart just seems to be so much faster that it can’t just be driver skill alone.
13:28 nah he ran himself off. It his job to go around you it didn’t look like much of a gap in the first place and you can never pass there on the outside. Taylor was just driving dumb
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.

Haha!! Crazy stuff, awesome that you got to see it real-time!! :)
Great video!
Really enjoyable videos. You’re very well spoken and professional in your commentary and analytics which just makes your videos that much more enjoyable to watch. Very well put together for your age, keep at it.

Hey Ethan, Just wanted to say fantastic drive, you have gotten a lot faster so great job, can’t wait for more content, LETS PUSH FOR 1K SUBS
WOOHOOO!!! Thanks so much for the support! :))
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!
Bro I love your Videos! Keep going
How much hp does your kart have?
Thanks so much!! :)
I race in the Lo206 Senior class, and the motors have around 10 horsepower (to 360lbs total weight)
I guess the "Game Changer" is still not implemented?
Nice to see you advancing!
Not yet!! I barely made it in town for this race and with the new weight install I didn’t have any time :( My carb is set up by Morgan (usually fastest kart on track) at the moment, and I don’t necessarily want to tweak it until I know I have something that works.

they’re faster than the mini and micros, same kart just hustles more

@@EthanPalosh great job replying and taking the time to do so. Is there prize money at all?
@@Bwatt5000 No prize money, just the opportunity to compete and have fun! In it for the racing....there's not really a career feasible in karting as a driver
Hey Eathan quick question where did you buy your kart?
Hey!! I bought my kart from another member at my local track. They were upgrading, so I got to buy their used one.
@@EthanPalosh ok thanks
This is cool! Congrats on getting the podium spot! Is it recommended to do karting school? And also what 360 camera are you using?
Hey! I did not attend any kind of school for karting, just learned from sim racing and practice on track! There are a lot of great resources online. For the camera, I use an insta360 One R.
@@EthanPalosh Thanks ! Im looking forward to do karting soon :D

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
Hey man, great content. What camera do you use?.
+1 sub here
Thanks so much!! :)) I use an Insta360 One R on my kart for the onboards.
Excellent video, the only way I can think you could improve is to somehow capture the engine noise.
Great idea!!! Right now my camera blocks a lot of the sound out when I'm at speed because of wind noise, but I'll experiment with some ways to get the engine sound in there. Thanks!!
Hello i am 22 and have only really raced at COTA karting, where else could i go or what can i do to get into some faster karts or?
Hey!! I would reccomend taking a look at Hill Country Kart Club in New Braunfels. It's the closest track that offers club karting. Look at the schedule and find out when the next race is (starts again early 2022). The best way to get into it is to visit a race and talk to some people!
I race hckc as well jr 2 I’m only 11 though
What editing software do you use bro?
Hey! I use DaVinci Resolve to edit my vids :)
i wanna do karting but ive never done it before
Hey! There are plenty of ways to break into the sport. I started my real-life karting journey in rental karts, so I would recommend starting there and working your way up!!
I really hope you get into f1 but I will be there to and i won't be a a easy fight
How is that first place car so much faster? I mean he was gone not to be seen again till the end.
Good question! That was Riley, he races GT3 cup cars. He obviously has well proven driving ability…We suspect there may be some special sauce on his kart, but can never be sure! He’s a freaky fast driver that’s for sure!

I thought so too, then at the fist bump he was like flip off.
Haha! We talked it out and are all cool now :)
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.
Should’ve just let Taylor have the spot once TOMMY passed you up
