raced dirt track stock cars , trucks at 25 years of age , this video popped up , now at 55 years you gave me leg cramps and white knuckles lol, VERY NICE JOB !!!!
I grew up going to this race. Was surprised to see the walls built and the fence. We used to watch rookies loose it on the horse shoe turn and driver’s pulling there carts up out of the creek. Things look much safer now. Still a great track. Thanks
Those were some epic banzai quali laps once you got past the slower guy after the mediocre start. Really impressive. I used to proper race 125 shifters but none of our tracks had trees or walls like that to contend with. I’m 58 now, nowhere near that level of commitment anymore…but boy I wish I’d been able to race a course like that 20 years ago. Just brilliant. Thanks for posting.
This has to be one of the most beautiful and technically challenging kart track I have ever seen! Wish I could have driven it with my old shifter and skills! Thanks for sharing this
Props to whatever method of stabilization you are using for your footage. Unbelievably smooth. Go compare this to an F1 onboard camera shot if you don't think so.
Damn, nice drive. I always wanted to try a shifter. The feeling of competing in regular rental go-karts was already amazing, this must be pure adrenaline.
Very cool, I like your pass, very clean and decisive. I raced 125 shifter karts in the US in the late 1990's. Lots of fun. In the early 1980's I raced 100cc enduro karts. Lots of fun also, but nothing like a shifter kart.
I just stumbled across this video and wondered if this was at Quincy Il. I was born, 1948, and raised in Quincy. The track immediately reminded me of South Park where we always had the Easter egg hunt. It looks the same and is the most beautiful park I ever visited. Great memory. Jim Newberry.
Still love the carts. Raced in Calif. in the early 70's, Margay chassis w/McCullough 101B engine (123 cc, 12.5 hp at 9000 rpm). In 1981 I began road racing superbikes in the AFM and AMA. Karts are a great place to start..
Did this back when I was in my middle 50s. Lots of fun. My grandson wants to follow in my footsteps so I am building him a shifter, then a qtr midget, then a formula Ford. My sons all drove go karts which honed their skills for driving full sized cars in all weather conditions and my grandson is getting pretty good at drifting which is a critical skill in racing. It will be up to him if he wants to pursue to more challenging forms. Just want him to have the equipment should he choose to do it.
What a track. I definitely wouldn't want to make a big mistake. Wish I was still young enough to run on something like it. I miss my karting days,it was a great way to start racing. I'm fifty now and thinking about getting into an oldies league.
Hey Terry! I just turned 59 and have always loved karts- ever since my pops bought me a garage sale special when I was a kid. Didn’t have it long, as we didn’t have much mechanical skills. Then about 3 years ago I got to race a few rounds with some buddies in Singapore (not shifters). Thinking I’d like to join you in an oldies league! 😄
I couldn't stop watching once you started racing. It looks video is running at 2X or 4X but I know it's not. Incredible stuff. I have to go check out more of this action.
I checked the speed vs fps, and it seems legit, but that's not a real science, more of a feel. I do, however feel like he crashed into that wall at the end....Karts feel, and look twice as fast due to how low they are, it's not unreasonable to think they sped it up. In reality they're only doing 45-70mph, but at that weight, and 1 inch off the road, it feels, and looks like 120mph!
nice track ... feels fast since its not an exclusive race circuit with wide open straights ... could be less bumpier ... kinda risky at the chicane drop without a roll bar or cage of some sorts
Truly amazing racing here ! The track is sick, the angle is great and the driving is right in the edge. The very end had me worried though. Looks like it cuts just as the Kart was losing it. Anyway , great video for sure!
Watch Part 2 to see him recover from grazing the curb and going on to win. The GoPro split the video at the exact moment of impact....and I didn't want to edit it in any way.
Caught myself holding my breath just from watching. That's some intense stuff right there. That guy driving probably has a big collection of trophies by the way he handles that track.

Great video! Good choice of camera location. That track is so narrow - sort of like F1 at Monaco. Really hard to pass. Great driving! It looks like the car is oversteering more as the race progresses? Tire wear?

how does a kart get round corners with a solid rear axle?
does the inside wheel spin the tyre in place of a diff or what?
it baffles me.
On bigger sweeping corners a kart slips the inside wheel. On tight corners a good handling kart lifts the inside wheel.

Love how little steering input karts need.
do you have to down shift ?
Hello everyone, so what are the speeds these karts travel at? What is the top speed he is traveling at on this particular race course?
He hit 96 mph on the back stretch and over 90 mph on a couple of other straights
That is one beautiful sounding kart man
That looks soooo fun! Would it be against the rules to put electronic paddle shifters on that thing so you can keep both hands on the wheel and shift faster? Technically I think it would be very easy, but I haven't seen a cart with it yet so I'm guessing it's against the rules?
There's a system out there...but testing showed it to not be any faster....and it's not 'legal' in any series we run plus it's crazy expensive.
End of part 1 and I was pretty certain you flipped that cart into a continuos barrel roll. Watching part 2 now....
I've been to this K1. It's great!!!
Bloody hell, that’s violent 😳
