    That is some pretty insane racing! But Bruh - the rice transplanter? Holy hell! Is there anything they do in Thailand not to show car extreme? I'm looking forward to see how that works. Speaking of farming, there is still that mud tractor in bikinis grudge match to follow up on.

  • @WhuDhat
    @WhuDhat 2 года назад +116

    Lmao the rice injection machine is crazy, you absolutely have to make a video visiting their shop Chad. And soon please. 🙏🏿
    brings a whole new meaning to ricer.
    should edit that racing use sticker to say "for ricing use only"
    Oh and the boats were tight too but that machine stole the show, especially with the P.A. struggles lol.
    And man do I wish I could just walk out to my front yard spectate some races and get wasted with the crowd, would probably invite the cool/hot ones to come in and have dinner afterwards lol. Not to mention the fishing amd swimming possibilities! although idk if I'd eat anything that came out of that particular river

      @whollymindless 2 года назад +7

    That launch mechanism thing that they have is super neat. It completely prevents anybody jumping the start and keeps it perfectly equal. The ingenuity here is so cool to see, and I think it'd be hard to ever see something like this in America with all of the ridiculous regulations we've got. It'd be shut down so quick.

  • @todeotodeo140
    @todeotodeo140 2 года назад +11

    I'm quite sure they would get significantly more power with expansion pipes instead of what they are using. I built a go-kart years ago running a straight exhaust pipe and a year later I put an expansion pipe on it and it nearly doubled the power

    • @markturner6823
      @markturner6823 2 года назад +1

      The pipes are very strange. Like they built half of a nice expansion chamber and then just stopped. Two stroke expansion chambers are common and proven technology. I would like to understand what they are thinking.

    • @mattmitchell9130

    Hey Chad, any chance you can put up a map of how to get there, I would love to check it out.

    I was in Thailand 1971 (after leaving Nam), they had some long boats with v-8 engines and the long propeller shaft out the back, and those things could cook!

    Dude. So cool. Don't worry about the PA system, it seems like you nailed the audio so long as you're not to far from your mic. It can never be perfect, but you're giving us a glimpse of things we'd never see otherwise and that's something special.

    Fun video, bro! Bonus that it was on a Sunday. Looking forward to the modified rice-injection machine. Still needs MOAR low 🤪

    Great video Chad!...where exactly is this racing event 1 hour north of Thailand (town/province/river)? How often do they race? Do they post a schedule? Would love to check it out when I'm in Thailand....went to the Damnoen Saduak market and was fascinated by these monster engines on the long boats.....

    You can get dual capsule noise cancelling microphones - the ones designed for tank drivers are pretty good...:)
