Billie's drift was one of the best I've seen, amazing that vehicle monstrosity has some good balance.
Awesome show as always. Congrats to the two drivers moving on. These races are always so competitive.
Mesa Butte was *relentless* today! Overcook the drift and you'll end up in the "Dust Bowl" at the centre
The track as a whole was hungry, stalking everyone over the smallest error made!
They say grief is the price of love, so too was a price to be paid by a mere racing fan, seeing three well-known racers in the same group. The two here from today that moved on didn't just compete, they _survived!_
Lots of adult language from me on this side of the screen
At least it comes from a well-intended place
Good to see the local boy do well--to face against Numbskull and match him in points, that's a real accomplishment in diecast racing! Kudos!
You yelling/Cussing at the screen also!
@@sstdiecastracing2372 from the first lap to the last! Everyone was struggling at some point and my emotions on behalf of everyone ran high
@@sstdiecastracing2372 today, absolutely!! That's what I get for caring so much. It was difficult to see everyone struggle today
Woot. That was one wild ride. 🍺🍺🤩😎🍺🍺
This is such a great race series, so much unpredictable fun. Congrats Numbskull and Isley. Tough day at the office for some. Glad to see Bay City have some success at the end there. Consistency. James Ironbeard racked up 3 points in every race but two that he DNF'd (R1, R8). If he scored 3 in R1 and R8 he would have won by one point with 24. Great show 🏁
🎉No results are ever a given here, tough day for some, another day could be different result. Watching from the airline lounge.
Good luck all. Good luck Bill next race.
Cheers Marc D
Enjoy your holiday, Marc!
@@gravitythrottleracing Cheers about to board!
Awesome. I hope you warmed up the last few cars first, just to get the dust off them. Nice way to spend the night back from Atlanta. Let's go.
I think I saw his crew putting the heated sleeping bags on J. Smoke's tires, just like in F1 racing. They had your hood open, but they weren't wrenching or hammering on it.
@@lobotomyscam1051 WHAT??? get outta here man, where was that man??? hahaha.
@@sstdiecastracing2372 In my imagination.
Very tough competition today at Shavano Mountain!!! Is good to see how builders are getting better and can stay in contention with the more experienced drivers!! SUPERB production as always!!! Thanks GTR!!!
Man what a tough course! Always a thrill to watch to see who’s gonna keep it smooth and bring home the victory. Glad to see BayCity to finally got his rhythm down, even though a bit too late. Congrats to those moving on and great job Richard and Air! 👍
Holy crap what's going on here! Great show as always GTR!! Can't win em all I guess, and NOBODY shuts us out!
That truck was a solid contender for Best In Show, Darrell
You're coming through this with higher spirits than anyone could expect--I did my share of yelling at the screen on your behalf. Well, everyone's behalf, really. It was pure survival mode out there
@@Chris_Hood Thanks Hood. My kid and I were yelling too. That’s what makes GTR so fun. I should have known something like this could happen since it took me 4 laps to qualify. Lmao. Thanks again Chris.
@@baycitydiecastracing You finished strong so the final score will look closer in the newspapers tomorrow.
@@lobotomyscam1051 is that kinda like if I trim my bushes, my trees look bigger?
@@baycitydiecastracing Yessir!
I forgot to hit the LIKE buttom. Here ya go. The race was so intense.
That was awesome racing. What epic battles down Shavano Mountain. Exciting action and some cringe moments.
Congratz to Numbskull and Isley making it to the next round. WTG!
Noice comeback for Numbskull last 2 laps. Shaka brah!
Have to wonder what might have been if James didn't wipeout that last run. And poor Darrel. My hats off to you brah.
Fantastic event, excellent coverage and production. Over the top to the next level Mark.
"Keep your roof to the Sun". Mahalo! 🤙🏽
Thanks for all your encouragement 🙏
I like reading the comments but I really do not like spoilers. We all can watch the race and see who wins. Thanks.
@@sstdiecastracing2372 Sorry if my comment spoiled the racing for you. An easy fix for that is don't read the comments until you watch the race brah.
@@gdmracing1 I put my blinders on so I don't accidentally see the one visible comment.
@@gdmracing1 No Harm, It is just a polite unwritten rule that many of us old timers follow. We don't know if the actual racers watched their car yet so we don't say the actual winners. We say other things. Sometimes you have no choice but to see a comment immediately below the race and you learn you lost. Common courtesy. As you can read in many, many of the comments, they don't say who won. Thanks for the reply and thanks for watching. Johnny Smoke here in case you don't know. So happy you are a fan and enjoyed the raced. I could tell you were excited.
We set the bar pretty low for others to get the slowest time...Ironbeard gave it a crack though 😂
Great racing guys, so much action happening that we had to watch it twice
Your record is still in tact.
That was a crazy one. This track is magical.
So glad BCD didn’t get skunked…tough luck for a past champion
What a finish lol 😂. A tie. Another great race 🚥🏁🚗🏎️🏁. Thank you both so very much and God bless. Have a great week.
Coming to the decision, good work guys
Great race! Bummed about Darrell having such a hard race! This mountain is a beast!!
Very very spectacular races in these episode -----!!!!
Wow, what a close race!
Awesome racing🏁. I enjoyed watching. Thanks and until the next one . Have a great day.
That was a very tough race for all. Very unpredictable as always. Sorry you feel that way James. I enjoyed the views of the track. That was some wild moves by a few cars. Oh Lord, I wonder what race 8 will bring. Almost afraid to watch when it comes out. We shall see. Thanks for the entertainment Mark.
Race 8 has been filmed! FYI, it's a very boring race. All the wheels on your truck fell off at the start gate. Billy tripped over them and is back in the hospital. Sike!! Lol!
@@gravitythrottleracing I have an emergency crappy back up dude. Ya, that one is so close to 50/50 so we know that doesn't work. Looks like 47F/53R works for this model.
@@gravitythrottleracing I need to send the Half-time Bison to you. I wrote to James. Stay in there. I have not moved on yet but I still keep sending them.. He said he will hang in there. Thanks for the Psyke! Haha.
Totally lucked my way into the next round but Ill take it
23 points, matching Numbskull--it wasn't ALL luck for you today
Good job out there!
I agree! Steady as she goes... reminiscent of Ken Olson's Evo in Season 3 with its active suspension to get down the mountain each time. Watch out!!
@@gravitythrottleracing That was a thrilling finish for K.O. in that E.VO.
Awesome racing as usual! Congrats to the two moving on!🎉🎉🎉
Man,being from Sacramento, California I was hoping Bay City Darrell would have done a little better, however as always this was another great race, thanks and we'll see ya next time
If you haven't watched the Electric Vehicle tournament finals from 2023, that'll give you something to cheer about!
@@gravitythrottleracinghey thanks guy's I just went back and started watching the 2023EV tournament love the sound effects you guys are great
@williamsnyder1205 thanks a bunch!! We can’t win em all, but we sure try! Mark, thanks for pointing him in the right direction. 😉
Love it !!!
Nice job everyone!
This was like Baja Bouncer Survivor! Great racing! This Baja Bouncer series has been spectacular thus far; it seems like it's had consistently good drifting, some high speed runs, and a clinic on consistency being rewarded. I feel like some of the cars are going almost too fast, and taking themselves off of the track, is that correct? I like that maybe speed isn't everything, there's the drifting and having to find that racer's edge between speed and control. And that probably comes from the unique and well designed track.
It is _entirely possible_ to build "too fast," even for a dragstrip race. On this unique course, it's consistency and control that win the day, plus a smidge of luck!
A good drifting line is nice, I have seen some vehicles take a nearly straight line through Mesa Butte which can pay dividends on the runs involving more points on the train jump
@@Chris_Hood It seems like I've found myself thinking "too fast" more with this series than in the past. Is that because the trucks are taller?
@@Dromio trucks are going to need a different approach in building compared to sedans, wagons, rally cars etc. The Baja Bouncer naturally rides higher than even most trucks its size in 1/64 scale so the challenge creeps ever upward.
Managing weight distribution and centre of gravity become even more critical here, in addition to crafting a suspension that is not too loose to drift nor too stiff to withstand The Scrambler. It's a *supreme test* of building skill for certain!
You know you are very correct. Johnny Smoke seems to be on the edge of the line as seen in the time trials. Group 8. He has never moved on to round 2 yet. Let's see what the next race brings. Great comment.
@@Chris_Hood Well said Chris. I'm in group 8. I hope he does a warm up race first to get the dust off. I actually beat Sneaky Bob in the time trials while on the inside drift lane, but the outside Joker lane slowed me down. We shall see.
Just when you thought things weren’t going to get any better…………..Bay City Darrell had issues this time around, but glad that he got a win in the books. James Iron Beard, Isley and Numbskull were battling it out the whole time. Congrats to Numbskull and Isley for advancing, ready for the next race.
Awesome race bro
Nice! I love it when a video releases the moment I get on TH-cam.
Thank you!
Felt bad for Ironbeard, but I'm glad it didn't come down to the missed point on the second train jump. Thought that was a tough call against him.
I have to agree. That would ultra-stink.
Another nail-biting 3-way battle! There always seems to be one who has dreadful luck.
♥
Watch Green marble route. Awesome.....
Yes, good eyes! ... it's pretty crazy how it took the scenic route and made it down.
Am I crazy... let me rephrase that: I remember a race here (not long ago, I reckon) where the red flag was thrown because a vehicle jumped the lane and made illegal contact.
Yes, correct, but only if that happens before the small step down around Shavano Mtn.
There are no guard rails on the parking lot just before the drift curve. Do you have people sign waivers?
I know a guy
That's a different track man.
@sstdiecastracing2372 you can claim that, but if someone falls off they better have signed a waiver. 2 d visited gravity throttle racing a while back.😊
@@jdeidiker WHAT? seriously? I missed that one. I thought he visited EP! Send me a link.Please.
@@sstdiecastracing2372 I don't remember when. Ask gtr. Who is EP? Not remembering them by letters.
What’s the record for the slowest win?
Big Mike from EnZed Diecast had a 45 second finish.
No disrespect i love the channel. but i suggest the last straight should be changed to a different design because it sabotages the vehicles heavily. I also suggest you should add time gap on the trucks. Give more data on the race. Almost like marbula one but not that extent i like the simplicity of the cars but the stats are key.
Thanks for the feedback. Im afraid the last straight (aka Scrambler) is there to stay. It challenges the builders to do more than make a car fast. I love the gap time thought, but it'll take some research to figure out how to change the code to accommodate that. I'll ask around.
I'm glad numbskull made it thru. Can't believe ironbeard through it away. I thought he was going to win easy. So unlucky. Isley was consistent.... 🎉
Not my favorite race... might actually stop building!
Building what?
I blame El Nino, the rotation of the earth, a small black hole zipping nearby at the time of filming, the foul ministrations of arcane powers from beyond time itself
That was a difficult watch from up in the grandstands; I can't begin to imagine how much more it was for you
You'll get 'em next time, slugger!
@@Chris_Hood thanks bud, this one HURT!!
Hey even Dale had bad races man
I'm feeling for ya, man! This may or may not be the right time to share my observations. I believe your suspension is a little too tight, and why it jumped the snow lane, the big-U barrier, and didn't finish that one time you were WAY ahead. Hit me up on Messenger if you want.
Go, Isley! Great setup.
