    So with Charles having dirt track experience with karts is there a possibility of seeing a built by cars and cameras oval dirt kart for local compatition there in your area with Charles at the wheel? I think that would make for a cool set of vids to see that. ( Just my opinion)

    I loved the "bottles of beer" song on the way home! Uh- been there-done that! The worst feeling in the world is waking up behind a steering wheel. Actually, it's the second worst feeling. The WORST feeling is NOT waking up behind a steering wheel! Glad you got home safe.

    amazing how fellow racers are so helpful. Raced Bonneville for a few years, and the guys from the "world's fastest street roadster (close to 300 mph) helped us tune our injection unit. and we were a long way from 200 mph.....a few beers and pro mechanics show up for work ,,,wow

    @dwyman1972 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Raced a GT3 in the SCCA for years in the south east, then switched to the WKA in the Yamaha spec series for a number of years, then WERA with a GSXR 750. All were fun and each had a learning curve. By far, the bikes were the most fun but also the most dangerous, FAST. Find the fast people and learn what they do. We (my wife and I) had to race on a budget but we were very competitive. Take your time and learn from your mistakes and you will do fine. Racing is VERY addictive.

      You cant take the gap if youre out of the racing line. Its the overtaking rider/drivers responsibility to pass properly. Stuffing someone on a motocross track? All day long. Road racing is a different animal.

  • @StrongBarnes90
    @StrongBarnes90 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Seeing how these race karts are tweaked/finely adjusted would be great!
    Like a run down of the rules and regulations for the different classes and what adjustments you have to make to your kart to qualify for those races.
    That would be a great vid to expand on the Tillotson with!
    Maybe also a video showing us how to properly change your tires without scoring up your wheels?

    @untapupkeepdraw5922 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would really enjoy seeing an entire series like this. I think u really just need more seat time in any kind of pack racing. Competitive or not doesn't matter, just close Kart to kart racing will definitely help you get more comfortable. Just going to a rental place with 10 or more karts on the track at the same time will really help you. The karts don't really matter once you are used to running in a pack, passing in really close quarters and drafting( yes drafting is super important in karting) you can translate those skills super easily and quickly to any other kart.

I wouldn’t feel to bad about it, if you weren’t fast enough to get that close to him he’d never been able to come down on you to start with , so good driving John, nice video as always guys 🤙🏼
