You sir are a freakin madman!! What kind of money, parts and craftsmanship does it take to build a solid kart of this caliber, reliably & with what sort of transmission? Can these be reliably turbocharged?
That's amazing. I'm 74 and when I was a boy I got a Go Kart. It had a Clinton 3 hp lawnmower motor on it. Top speed 30 mph. I had a great time with it.
Lol I'm 32 and I used to had a mini bike back in the days with a five horse power stroke on it. Boy was that thing fun! My buddy had one too and we used to cruise up and down the creeks in our neighborhood here in union city CA. So fun but the cops kept messing with us giving us tickets.
I just made a go-kart with my granddad using some lawnmower tires, an old toy go-kart, and a new motor and it goes up to 60 mph! Sadly he won't let me go any faster than 25 on it since it has no safety features but thats understandable.
Im sure they know who everyone is in this small town. That cop was like, "Damn it, there goes Jake Bradley again, If his dad wasn't the Mayor I would chase that boy down".
They always maintain non critical need roads. The driver's complaining about the other roads serve as an unknowing lobbyist for more appropriations.. It really kind of brilliant. Sure a few people die as the result of this method but think of all of the money the paving company gets to make. 💰
What I was thinking. He almost lost it once a turn. The driver clearly trusts his gear because he built it. I'm amazed a tire doesn't burn off or an axle break.
I had a souped up Kart back in the 80’s that would hit about 55-60mph and we thought it was the fastest thing alive. I can not imagine going 140+MPH with an R1 motor strapped to my back!
Rory - not Gail: Good one. I did the same thing - I got stopped 13 times...never given a ticket. I went on to a successful 32yr law enforcement career :) Never gave a kid on a motorcycle a ticket for no license :)
The old guy I used to fly with used to tell me that all the time. He did a dip down over a friend of ours house and crashed and died in his back yard. RIP Dave

Bob Hoover got in trouble landing at an unauthorized airfield so a friend could pretend he was the one flying the prototype jet. He was taken off the iconic flight and replaced with Yeager.

When the R1 came out I reserved one having seen it at a bike show. After 4 weeks, of the people who bought an R1 on reserve in my area, I was the only guy still with a licence and a bike. I passed a cop car doing 187mph. I'm not even sure they saw me, but I rode that bike home & I sold it the next day. In 1998 the R1 was not on the same planet as normal bikes.
I remember them well. I was 16. My neighbor, who had raced dirt bikes all his life and could really ride, owned one for a summer. He sold it and went back to a cbr600. Shit got real fast in the 90s. Bikes and cars too. Zx 12, busas, r1, c5 vettes and camaro, supras and turbo eclipse/eagle talons, vr4, 300zx. There was a mustang cobra, the supercharged one, that outran everything in town for awhile. Everything except liter bikes, of course. Cheap speed.
Anything with more punch than a R7 is arguably a “waste” if you’re not doing track days. I almost never get to stretch the legs on my mt-09 in a “safe” manner and I doubt I’ll ever own another bike like it in the future.
Allen Potzer on the bottom end. Kart will get out of the dig much better. Passed 90-100mph the bike is gone. These small diameter wheels can only spin so fast
They used to have a Go-Kart track in Lansing back in the late 60s, I used to take mine over there, the Kart I had used a fuel mixture and it had two 5 gallon aluminum fuel tanks one on each side. They had strict regulations to follow if you were planning on racing there.
I did something similar back in the '70's with a competition YZ 360 motor. We had to extend the frame 10" and push the wheels out 3" on each corner. I've got no idea what the top speed was but I shifted into 3rd at around 75mph. It was a little slow on the light but once it got going and into the powerband it got scary real quick. We learned that an extra 50lbs made it much easier to control. The guy I sold it to made a 4-wheel drive go cart out of it. When he got done it wouldn't do 50mph but it was able to climb a mountain. He would follow us almost everywhere we went on our dirt bikes.

No, I think Australia has nice wide roads and plenty of sunshine. I'm from the UK. Here every town is linked to ever other by about 10 roads, most are narrow, twisty, packed with traffic and it rains a lot. There are motorways (multi-lane highways), but the top speed allowed is 70MPH and there are plenty of police and enforcement camera's. The only decent places to drive, or live, are Wales and Scotland.
I said, "Oh my GOD!!" Out loud about ten times, sitting here by myself. People, watch this on the biggest screen you can. It's like WE are doing it! Muffy, I hope you are well.
I used to race gokarts but on an oval and not a shifter kart. You feel like you're going twice as fast when you're an inch off the ground compared to being in a car. My cart with the restrictor plate made it top out at around 70 mph so I cant imagine what this dude is experiencing 😂
That sounds exactly like what my son and I do, I build them for us and a few others, in fact my 30 year old son won the championship this year at our track.
If I was going for a go kart this mental, I think I'd go with a wider track and wheels. It's always going to be a handful with that kind of power in something that weighs the same as a Jaffa cake haha
@@juddery last thing you want is 180 horses suddenly bucking back and propelling you into something. That go kart does look like serious fun, it'd definitely be one of the best ways I've put myself in hospital
That thing can probably easily hit 150+ on the highway. That’s like having a damn hayabusa. Actually they have 188hp and are limited to 180 we need a full speed 200+ highway run in this thing it would be legendary
I've done crazy shit in my day, but driving through towns like that is nothing but a death wish - from someone who was an ambulance crew chief for 17 years. At those speeds you might as well forget the safety equipment...
Once asked my brother why he went that fast or faster ANY CHANCE he got #2 he said if he crashed he wouldn't end up in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. #1 the adrenaline rush... The only girl out of 3 boys... I pulled more BSC then they did altogether.., ;)
@@ntmtruckin never understood the thrill in you might die. for most humans and animals its a natural instinct to protect yourself from dying and not to intentionally put yourself in danger. life is too short to be stupid. i did stupid stuff when i was younger now that im older i realize how stupid i was and could of been killed.
When I was growing up, there were some teenagers on the corner who had a go-cart they would take to a track on weekends. I remember them tuning it for performance, then they would zip up and down the back lane to check if it needed further adjustment. I can still remember the grin on the guy's face as he flew by! Nothing like driving a go-cart you worked on yourself.
I was once a security guard in an affluent neighborhood of millionaire families. This is where I found out that a go cart could do 150 miles an hour in 1987
I was gettin on a hiway and pickin up speed on a st1300 motorcycle and a rat crossing on ramp stared me down stopped in middle he had to be a 15lb.er I almost lost my liife!! To a demon ratt liberal!!..lmao
Northern Mich. the driver was... had to be Kid Rock , as his song goes. I love ditch cops mode. Done it twice myself when they were chasing me , but never in a kart. Never tried unless I had a jump on them. Have watched this entirely 3 times so far. Love it !!
You do realize people outside of having mustangs other cars ALSO lose car control from people showing off....people need to get off the bandwagon for bashing mustangs.
It's not the mustangs that go off the road, it's the idiot drivers that don't know their limits, can't control a performance car and should be driving a Toyota Corolla.
I used to race karts competitively from 13 until I got my car driver license at 16. That was many decades ago....this guy sounds and looks like he's driving a Formula 1 car, especially with the shifting gears, something my karts never had. Crazy.
WHEN I WAS DRIVING GO-KARTS THEY HAD THOSE FAST MC CULLCH ENGINES THEY WERE FAST AND LOUD AND LATTER ON THEY WERE PUTTING YAMAHA AND SUZUKI INGINES ON THEM NEVER GEARS
@@Jmasta7 yes I have thats what I was hope for with this guy but this dude was flying the whole time basically he was on that mushroom head the whole ride lol.

i once drove a kart on the road. never been so excited and scared in the same time. I admire your guts and had so much fun watching you. I miss my go-kart driver days
Very unstable shift mechanism. Clearly, the driver is having a hard time keeping it straight during the shift patterns. Would be much better with some kind of paddle shifter right on the steering wheel which would eliminate the slight loss of control during shifting.
Shift pattern is fine as it's just push/pull. Looks like it may need the linkage adjusted. Keeping it straight is purely a traction issue, to much torque to little contact area and weight. I've driven and raced all kinds of carts in my days and the most sketchy was the 125cc 2cycle shifter carts. You have a go-cart that weighs with driver probably around to 300# range in a cart with 180hp giving you a power to weight ratio of around 1300hp per ton. A Bugatti Chiron Super Sport only has a ratio of about 750hp per ton.
When I wrecked my dirty bike and the frame was bent I had to do something with the engine I put it on a go cart frame it was a yz 400 it was fun as hell. Try it some time. I'm in my 60's
Got slightly near this world from work. Don't know if they were shifter karts or not but the engines were made to handle over 14000 RPM Believe the manf was "Moon".

Here every town is linked to ever other by about 10 roads, most are narrow, twisty, packed with traffic and it rains a lot. There are motorways (multi-lane highways), but the top speed allowed is 70MPH and there are plenty of police and enforcement camera's. The only decent places to drive, or live, are Wales and Scotland.
@steve jones dont forget all the bloody potholes the uk's roads are f***ed
I assure you there are plenty of places in America with shitty roads and very many that are severely over capacity.
Us roads suck they don't take care of them they may be wide but it's not a nice ride

Probably more so than the one you don't have😂😂😂 stfu.
I used to race gokarts but on an oval and not a shifter kart. You feel like you're going twice as fast when you're an inch off the ground compared to being in a car. My cart with the restrictor plate made it top out at around 70 mph so I cant imagine what this dude is experiencing 😂
That sounds exactly like what my son and I do, I build them for us and a few others, in fact my 30 year old son won the championship this year at our track.

Yep, trying to impress the girls doesn’t go as planned every time. 😂
Damn, that thing seems super squirmy at speed and particularly when you lay the power down. I bet it wouldn't take much to lose control.
If I was going for a go kart this mental, I think I'd go with a wider track and wheels. It's always going to be a handful with that kind of power in something that weighs the same as a Jaffa cake haha
@@Jason-im3pz you're not wrong. A longer wheel base and grippier tyres wouldn't hurt either. Also lol at the Jaffa cake.

I've done crazy shit in my day, but driving through towns like that is nothing but a death wish - from someone who was an ambulance crew chief for 17 years. At those speeds you might as well forget the safety equipment...

So what if the video is 10 years old, some folks get the good camera gear while most get the cheapest.
No
When I was growing up, there were some teenagers on the corner who had a go-cart they would take to a track on weekends. I remember them tuning it for performance, then they would zip up and down the back lane to check if it needed further adjustment. I can still remember the grin on the guy's face as he flew by! Nothing like driving a go-cart you worked on yourself.
6:52 this guy is an absolute legend
Happy someone acknowledged buddy ripping a wheelie …. Didnt think the video could get any more wild but it did haha
@@evanvert8163 the reason he is a legend is because he flashed his lights which is how people signal there is a cop
That’s actually crazy the attention to detail this vid is so good
I like this town. people having fun
I saw that too
I was once a security guard in an affluent neighborhood of millionaire families. This is where I found out that a go cart could do 150 miles an hour in 1987
Those neighborhoods should be burned to the ground. You were a rich man's puppet.
The cop was like "we'll pick him up in an ambulance later"
My thoughts exactly why risk your life and endanger the public in a useless pursuit just let him slide under a vehicle and scrape him out later. lol
That go cart was sold 5 times because the owner knew it was insane..,

Glad to see you taking safety seriously and wearing a seatbelt 😂
no seatbelts on a go kart..ever
Nice work. And also nice to see that I am not the only one who owns the road.
….Golden comment of the thread! Yeahhhh, THAT would save him..!
Safest driver ever - kids playing near the road where he passes, not so much
yeah, i think a seatbelt would be a bad idea on one of these, cus theres no roll bars so instead of being thrown off you just get crushed

Awesome, just make sure your dental records r updated so they can identify ur body when ur time runs out.
😵😵😵😵😥😥😥
Very unstable shift mechanism. Clearly, the driver is having a hard time keeping it straight during the shift patterns. Would be much better with some kind of paddle shifter right on the steering wheel which would eliminate the slight loss of control during shifting.
Did what he could do, not everyone is made out of money..
Kinda like IndyCar's have
Thanks Cliff
Shift pattern is fine as it's just push/pull. Looks like it may need the linkage adjusted. Keeping it straight is purely a traction issue, to much torque to little contact area and weight. I've driven and raced all kinds of carts in my days and the most sketchy was the 125cc 2cycle shifter carts.
You have a go-cart that weighs with driver probably around to 300# range in a cart with 180hp giving you a power to weight ratio of around 1300hp per ton. A Bugatti Chiron Super Sport only has a ratio of about 750hp per ton.
