  • A video from Mid Ohio 125 Shifter Final 1. Unfortunately for me, during the qualifying session there was only a hand full of transponders recognized by the computer. This resulted in reverting to the registration order for the start of the race. Should have started near the front but this sure makes for a great video. Hope you enjoy!
    Big thanks to PKT Axles and Hoosier tires!

    Well done. Great job holding speed in the corners. So many of the other drivers seem to slow unnecessarily and don't fit as much speed into the corners as they can. They are braking as if they were driving a car (larger, less space on track).

    That was sweet I've always loved driving go carts. Your cart certainly handles good. I never driven on a track but we had a old cart when I was young. Racing around the neighborhoods. And yes our Neighbors hated us LOL. Loved the video.

    Nice drive. I raced with SKUSA in the late 90's and raced the 80 here. Not as big of a field of karts as seen in your video though...seems like the sport is doing well! It brought back a lot of great memories. A friend and I hooked up and drafted during qualifying...I pushed him one lap and he pushed me the next. We
    outpaced the field by a wide margin...there was a rule in place at the next long track of "no drafting in TTs" because of us haha. I went on to win the 80 main. Best of luck this season. 👍🏻

    Somewhere in there you must have had the fastest lap time of the race. You had to be running faster than the two leaders in order to catch up to them.

    "Wow, you drive like I do on the indoor karts. No organized racing yet but I can't wait to start with the pay n play racing, then if IM any good invent is this kind of racing. Terrific job. MX is so different, if a gu is holding you up an elbow in the next turn gets his attention. In karts and cars, not so easy cos ya don't want to build a rep as a dirty rider....uhm, driver. A lot of mental strategy we don't have the luxury of in mx racing.
    Kudos, great drive.

    HOLY F*CK!!! MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN A 6 MIN LAP AT THE ‘RING! NO ABS, NO TC, NO AUTOSHIFT! ONLY ROLLCAGE IS YOUR HEAD! I have no idea who you are, but your skill is off the chart! To see how you would make up time on your braking and in the corners, passing on the inside and the outside, especially when you did not have the fastest cart. I have no idea how you managed to avoid crashing 20 times a lap, but you still did!
    Amazing how sportsman-like all the drivers were. No wheel banging or brake checking. Staying off the racing line for faster drivers. Just good, clean racing. All the F1 bozos should be required to watch!
    I had no idea 125s were so fast.
    You deserve 1,000,000+ views.
    I think you could probably hold your own with Hamilton and Verstappen.
    You should have won but glad you had to start at the back. It was even more impressive that way!!!🥳🥳🥳
    AMAZING, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!😁😁😁

    ❤👍Good driving, unlike many of the other guys. This is a perfect example of why I would never even consider racing anywhere but in F1 (and you cannot get into F1 without doing lower tier stuff, of course). Lap records on an empty track? Sure. Having a bunch of clowns around? Never. F1 is only different in that it is the pinnacle. I would accept the risk there. But THIS is way too dangerous.
