    The minute you went into 3 & 4 the first time, still bump drafting at 100+, I was so hyped up. Cherry and you worked unbelievably well together. Out right at the corners with a dab of earlier brake and then right back to the bumper as soon as you could, and he'd look back and tuck in just before it. Man that was awesome to watch.

      Same here. I raced a Komet 135 enduro there in 94 I think. Top speed was 146 ! Listen to this , anytime I was exceeding 135-ish,
      the lowest part of the fiberglass seat (right under my butt) would get so hot I had to lift my butt up...first time I felt it, I thought I had a fire . no rub marks on the belly afterwards either. I always assumed static electricity . I was OK with finished 3rd considering all the drama

    Terrific video. So fun to watch. I played with some fast Karts on a few occasions with a guy (Tom Geerz, Grand Rapid, MI). He used to do shifter Karts around the US.. including Daytona. If I recall teh shifters back on the late 80's got up near 125 / 130 at Daytona. I watched them for a few hours in 1989. Seemed so slow from the infield. Your camera did a great job of letting the speed be felt.
    So jealous. I'm 60 now. He's gotta be 70+.
    Awesome job.

    6:00 that was such a sick push, full send into corner. I would have been like, "Oh shit! I don’t know how to take this corner this fast!!" Almost like forgetting where you are and missing your break marker. That's how I think I would feel any aways. That was super cool though. I really like how you let the other diver back in after the push.
    I have no karting xp, but I would love for iRacing to figure out a way to make a model for leaning and sliding like y’all do. Can’t just put Karts into iRacing and expect it to feel real. It won’t and they would need to develop something different.

      Well I mean with the game/sim engine and physics. Maybe you do too. So the sim would need a way to capture users leanning inputs and somehow convert that into something in the game. Hmm might be with me doing a RUclips video about it and getting iRacing attention. It would be sick to get a real kart sim.
      Yeah VR would help translate that data to your mind but I guess the term we are looking for here is motion tracking input.

    Not familiar with the specifics of kart racing, so curious about the drafting. It looked like the camera kart could have easily walked past 469 and carried right on. Clearly, they were working together; 469 moved over for the camera kart at the checkered. Was it all to help out 469? Are they teammates?
    Either way, great racing. 100+ mph in a cart? Balls of steel, IMO! 🏁😉😎

    Thats freakin awesome. Never knew kart racing was done there. I assume you'd have to fit the tallest gearing you can to cope with the long full throttle section of the circuit?

    More please. Brass monkey balls to do this. Next level drafting on show, you don't see three pushing in a row around Daytona lap after lap, confidence in the driver in front and behind. 100 mph might be slow to some but when your butt is inches above ground it's still fast enough to hurt!

  • @myrrhavm

    Sure it’s been mentioned but I’m assuming the speed was due to sprocket sizing. Were the slower karts a different class? Maybe canned exhaust? I saw no tuning in the beginning when race first started. Thing of the past? Used to race karts 40 plus years ago. Glad this popped up in my recommended. Not sure why, but cool. Without looking it up, not even sure it’s still going on here in SoCal air surrounding area. Many of the tracks here have become shopping centers or housing developments.

    • @Halifauxer
      @Halifauxer Месяц назад

      That was my first thought. But also, if for any reason someone get's turned right on the banking up into the wall, they're going head first into a catch fence at around 50-65mph by the time they get there. Those karts will happily catapult you out in the last direction it was facing upon impact.
