- Spinning some laps with my yamaha yfz450 powered 2008 Paul Tracy shifter kart. It's ridiculously fast and a serious rush to drive. Camera shuts off so I didn't get the last part of the session. I wasn't wearing gloves, get over it!! Maybe the 2nd time I drove it on a sprint track. It's been years, maybe I didn't have any can't remember. No it's not sped up, you wanna race bring $
Excellent combination of track knowledge, and kart capability. The passes were nicely executed, and at the same time knowing when and where to pass safely when encountering lap traffic. Nice driving sir!
That fucking go kart is fucking fast.
Can u imagine there are 600cc? Even 150cc more than this one
i enjoy watching you fly by the other "racers" very satisfying
I drove Formula Atlantic and Trans-Am for years---and am quite impressed with your driving skill. Keep it up----have fun :-)
that's amazing, I wonder if I'd be fast enough to race in any pro league.. I did kart racing as a kid and I was usually the fastest. However as an adult I find myself either too broke or too clueless to know which platform would provide me with the greatest opportunity as a racer. I live in saint paul minnesota. now I'm gonna watch formula atlantic to see what the hell that must have been like.. never watched it before.. You have my utmost respect having been a pro that said! thanks for sharing Pat
4 stroke??? Awesome!!! Nice driving!! Also these double s on this track,beautiful!!!!
Well driven sir. That thing is mighty quick.
Ridiculous! Torque is well suited for a Cart!
Bravo!
this kart has a yfz450 engine, and sick driving. i have a dd2 rotax
dirtbike mania
Miss my dd2 push start button, no clutch, with a reverse that's winning! Lol
David P12 there so fast!!! but it goes through so much tyres!!
the dd2 on a small track is awesome I have one and a Kz2 + a R3 shifter kart but the dd2 is so much quicker around a small track great kart.
i must compliment, this person clearly has a hell of a driving line, but what i found that impressed me more than anything - the fact that this person had so many chances, to where he could have gone for it , but it would have really caused alot of drama on the track (running off other races off the track and into the dirt or even worse... the wall! it but that means bumpin the inside races out or spining your own self out by being selfish and stupid , greedy and all three of those things dont apply to this guy. had just about the fastest car on the track and just passed by everyone with a smile, leaving em with a surprised look . i would like to know how big the very last packs engines were. they were pretty good , even with their slower karts
Johnny Miller thanks Johnny. If it was a race I would have for sure passed them way before that. Kart racing is very aggressive. I raced for a couple years, they bump the shit out of you!
Agreed. Great driving line, nice linear steering (no frantic back and forth corrections), and MANY times hanging out the rear end with no drama. All while showing some respectful restraint. He only went to pass when it was clearly safe. This guy has obviously spent some time on a race track. Awesome video!! Make MORE with this kart!
Man, sounds beautiful! Awesome run!
from the glimpses at the valve cover my guess is that that was a Yamaha wr or yz 450 motor that had been squeezed into that cart frame, sweet power to weight ratio!
Alex Berriman aren't you smart only says it in the description
Tyler Abell some people don't check the description. Hell I forget there even is one because I never open it up to read it lol
must have been those super sweet sunglasses that helped you spot that!
Always the losers with nothing going for them selves with the most to say 😂. Just remember you bunch of 🤡s .. “ for every finger you point there is three pointing back “.
Power to Weight ratio is INSANE 😨
Damn no gloves ?
Yeah, I agree! I was racing a Suzuki RM250 grass kart a while back. We weren't allowed on the track without gloves - even for a practice session. On a tarmac track, I wouldn't even get in the kart until I had gloves on!!
If you really crash a kart gloves are the least of your worries. You flip and break your collar bone, or neck!
\
Crashes can happen in slow parts of the track too, where you won't break things. You may come out and have your hands scrape on the track, or burnt on a hot exhaust - both of which are a lot less painful if you're wearing gloves!! It's just a no-brainer - always wear gloves and helmet!
Darius khashabi that's no excuse to put on a pair of gloves
loll fuck gloves
The cart is fast, but you just having fun. thx for posting.
Looks like a grin producer. Hell of a machine.
i cant stop watching this vidieo keep it man
You overtake the ones who are overtaking. This is nuts
He smiles the entire time! Lol
Good driving lines for a big heavy boat
Holy shit man that things fast
Most of the tracks we run - New Castle Indiana, Millville N.J. , Englishtown N.J. won't let you run a 450 on them. Damn that is cool.
Hey, I have been to those tracks too! Oakland Valley Race Park is my home track. Ever been there or to GoPro Motorplex?
Jesus Christ.
It’s one thing to have a 125 engine in these but a 450 holy sh!t
That thing hauls the mail!!!! Badass!!
Awesome bit of kit but should have gloves on, karts can go over and other flying debris not to mention bees/wasps etc, again top machine.
those 2t are very fast too.! nice video mate
Dude i really love the intro of your video it's casual
I remember when I was a kid and there were McCullough go-carts that then gave way to Yamaha 100s... I thought how stupid little one speed 100s with no transmissions... why don't they use motorcycle engines with transmissions? Anyways, grew up and didn't really follow go-carting for many decades but just glanced at these videos decades later... hey.. go-carts with motorcycle engines with transmissions. What a great idea. Who thought of that?
Pretty similar to a FSAE car. They are often 450cc or 600cc engines, or electric
So sick!
looks like a blast!
I have a shifter cart with a 2005 crf450 motor with a 523 big bore on
Woo hoo! Those were some fun laps.
DUDEEE THAT TRACK IS SICK WEVE RACED THERE BEFORE😎😎😎
Awesome, you should race that thing
This is a really cool video. I always wanted to build my own
looks like s blast !!!
Looks like a butt ton of fun..!
Great driving and speed. Very nice. Although, I can't help but comment on your layout; Your "flat-bottom" steering wheel is a little off, and I bet you could increase your lap times if you installed paddle shifter's rather than that "lever action thingy".
Very cool. Great driving.
No gloves? WTF?
User37495936 not a race officially
I know...first thing I thought...no gloves???
User37495936 real man unlike you
So appreciating your fingers is unmanly? Let's see you support your family as an amputee
no gloves is stupid !! ....too cool hey? You made yourself look like as ass mate !!
Damn, that thing is badass!
I like how he couldnt overtake even though he clearly has a wayyyy more powerful engine and speed
Fast and well driven.
That is awesome Man thanks for the info!
Have forearm pump pain just from watching him hold that wheel.
Scotty give me WARP speed 😲
Nice video.
Who's the handling on that thing? I'm sure that engine must throw the weight balance quite a bit
Dang that thing rips
Seriously if you value your hands and fingers, wear some decent leather gloves! :) I'm talking from experience, as a biker, in my youth thought it was much cooler not wearing gloves! Everyone kept on at me to get some and wear them, eventually I gave in, literally the next day I was hit by a car reversing into my path, the gloves got wrecked but my fingers and hands were all intact!! :)
Just try to imagine getting through one day without your hands!
That go cart looks amazing would have some fun with that ..police wouldn't have a chance catching me...ha ha ha wayne.c.scotland
Do those things eat tires pretty quick. Those little things are just getting hammered 😂
For the first little bit sounds like my honda big red 300 when the exhaust is off haha
very very fast!!! Very very Funnn.
Z06 of go-carts!
looking good out there.
Christ that looks fast
What is the goal of the handle on the left behind the steering wheel ?
Does the kart have a clutch since it’s a dirt bike motor?
A Yamaha quad Raptor700 might be good in a kart ?
Wow!
its funny hearing a crf450 engine in a kart
Decent engine
wicked kart! bye bye 125 rotax!!"!
this video is sick as FUCK!
Is this sanoma raceway? Cause I've raced there before with me Tag-senior
Zach Smith Yup! You should come on over to Gopro motorplex!
I really need to get one of these. Either that or buy one without a motor and swap the motor from my gsxr 750
NIce Video you have a good camera angle. What frame are you using on the cart?
Awesome RC 2008 paul Tracy
where is the video filmed ?
Would it ever be possible for a shifter kart to have shifting pedals behind the wheel like in F1?
Oickled Pnion there are dd2 karts which have a paddle shift, they’re only two speed though, hi and lo. For a 6 speed sequential, it’d be more trouble than its worth, as in F1, those paddles are just buttons like on a video game controller that tell a hydraulic to shift the transmission, in a shifter kart, you’re actually physically changing gears with that handle.
Mason Kurien Oh I see. Thanks for the information!
Was this filmed at Sonoma raceway?
yes
where did you tap the pulse line for the fuel pump on the motor
right on top of the intake before it goes in the head.
Such a sick track where is this?
Someone needs to do a KX500..
Is his steering wheel upside down
1:33 was ridiculous
k so, im here to see what 450cc motor would do on a go-kart. Its out of a pressure washer, and i ad considered making a go kart for the kids out of it. Obviously this would be waaaaaay too much motor.
Jody Wilson uhh yeah. lol
+Jody Wilson Seems like plenty of motor and excitement without being overkill. I have seen a couple of dirt bike conversions and they seem to pull really well. I think doing the street bike conversion is a little much, but this seems to be in complete character with the kart as well as looking pretty stinking fast and fun to drive. I even am slightly partial to the sound, much deeper tone than the traditional rotaxish type motors. Congrats on the build.....
+Steve Johnson Dirt bike swap even at 250cc seems to be where its at.....
***** so basically its a waste of engineering then right?
Dp you have to rev match if it is a 4 stroke
How u got it to press start with a 2008 motor
Please tell me theres a class for 400cc karts
Does this have a clutch or no?
sweet,,, but kind of clutch does it have...?
roy korrels it's a dry clutch most likely
No gloves... well damn
Is this a semiauto transmition
why u dont compete with a 125ccm as everybody else?
Moooovin'
missing apex like a boss.
is there a clutch?
No gloves why dude??
Where can I buy one ?
I've got a dd2, love the power on it, then got a honda 125 6 speed love that.... how the 450 compare? Lol
Servin the track.
i wouldn't be able to do this without gloves on...
Curious about what you did for engine mounts... Custom or purchased some
custom welded
that is cool and all that but you need to check out this guy on a sport bike he was one of the first stunners in the bay area his videos are great servin it up is one of them have a look see hey darius say hello to uncle dave i worked with him in the cellular phone days and i know your mother we are both from scotland and have met several times what ever happened to that ducati go kart
