SpecKarts USA vs UK Incredible race & close 1,2,3 finish @ Maryhill Ratz 2023 Sept. Gravity Racing

Craig (STP #43 Blue) vs Greg (White #14) vs Fostaman's (#48) onboard of Gravity powered SpecKart race with some extreme aero drafting, from Maryhill Loops Road, Goldendale, WA. SpecKarts are nearly identically built karts, designed in England for close racing Worldwide. Since SpecKarts are all nearly the same, driver skill, aerodynamic drafting & racing line determines each race winner. Inexpensive and simple to build, SpecKarts are a safe, eco friendly & easy way to enjoy a unique style of wheel-to-wheel racing for the beginner or experienced racer. I built my SpecKart for around $500 USD.

Thanks for checking it out RickySmith, You've found some great racing in SpecKarts. It's pretty new and growing here in the USA (Oregon & Washington State) It's a great way to get into a unique form of close racing, with low cost & eco friendly. Check out the many other SpecKart Videos on youtube. Here's one: ruclips.net/video/bTnif_5av8U/видео.html

Congrats on your new project,
@aaronfoster9489 !! There really is no limit to what people can race with given a little bit of inspiration and imagination. Has the Purdue Grand Prix committee caught wind of this yet? I wouldn’t doubt they’d be interested in promoting or even donating to a fellow alumnus!

I doubt we're on Purdue Grand Prix's radar yet, but maybe a Purdue livery in a SpecKart could get them excited about gravity racing. Hmmmm. Thx for checking out SpecKarts!

@@portlandadultsoapboxderby-7282 you never know. Doesn’t hurt to ask for help or inform.

I was wondering how the white one was so fast but then I saw the flames painted on

[@aaronfoster9489]

Cameron, The driver of the white body kart is nicknamed "Speedy". He's fast in any SpecKart, flames or not. We rotate & swap karts, to keep it competitive & fun. Thx for checking out SpecKarts!

[@alexruiz1197]

is there a maximun weight?

[@portlandadultsoapboxderby-7282]

Alex Ruiz, No, there is no maximum weight. Not yet. We have an honor system between all racers to not add additional weight. Thank you for checking out SpecKarts.
