That -- was outstanding. I agree with Chis, awesome halftime show. I did bend my axles on purpose, just to see if it could pick-up some speed ... and better drifting. Now we can all see how that worked. That truck ran fast on my track, but I knew that it was going to be a wild ride. Thank you Mark, I love getting the chance to race on your track. 🍺🍺🤩😎🍺🍺
Camber and toe-in adjustments may work more reliably at the scale of Pinewood Derby racing. With how demanding this course is on any vehicle I would hesitate to add yet another variable to a build. Easy for me to say from the cushy grandstand seats no matter how respectful my intent is.
You're welcome! Here is my observation. It looked like you applied some positive camber, and it does help with the drifting. Trust me. What happened to your truck during one of the races was the front left tire got cambered more! Because the camber left to right was uneven, it stopped drifting. I know camber works because Josh's truck over at Rust Belt customs wasn't drifting until i added a smidge of camber. Now, im not gonna go thru every truck and start bending everyone's axles, but it did readjust the camber on yours before the Sudden Death. It went from pulling left to going straight, but not drifting. Bummer. Again, the lesson is positive camber works, just not too much, and it must be the same amount left to right. Sorry for the unfortunate mechanical issue.
@@gravitythrottleracing deeply appreciate the perspective from you on this! I have precisely no clue how camber settings could be made consistent here when combined with some form of suspension. Were the axles immobilized then such a technique would make far more sense to this mere observer Guess some _Secrets Of The Numbskull_ must remain mysteries to me 😅
What a wild round of racing!! The drivers had a hard time staying on their wheels. Congrats to the drivers moving on and great job by all the builders.
I knew when I saw this lineup, it would be epic! I underestimated! The crashes alone were epic. R-Lo going over the corner! Trucks getting air in the snow! The racing was also off the hook, with a race off! What a great show, great racing, GTR never disappoints! Great job all around! Really looking forward to, and a bit anxious about the next race!!!
Dang dude! What a race! Picking someone to win was tough. These guys were for the most part dead even, until after Dusty took off. I loved that last race especially. Quality time used!!
Another amazing race. The half time show another great new idea. Don’t know how you keep up the level of excitement, entertainment and camera work quality!! Brilliant.
I can't say enough good about this episode 🥳🎊 Usually it's the penultimate 7th lap with the most excitement but here the events of the final lap determined a tie that needed resolution-- _yay, more racing!_ Best halftime show yet! The runway 3 camera perfectly captured what we wanted to see! Close misses AND a couple of strikes! 💯😎🏁
First, the half time show was so funny! You have to that again. Really happy for R-Lo, but sad for Numbskull... Again, what a great show you have put together.
This is definitely one of the most fun tracks to watch you never know whats going to happen. And again this race did not disappoint. A nail bitter to the end!! Also the best halftime show out there.
Great racing and off the track racing. Literally! Car-razy action. Gratz to the 2 drivers moving on. "Keep your roof to the Sun". Mahalo! 🤙🏽 Awesome event and production. Great stuff Mark.
Where has this been all my life? Very enjoyable to watch..you can tell a lot of thought and work went into building the track as well as the commentary well done gents
Great racing!!! Tough group today!! Are we gonna see more doctor's orders on th HMB guys , looks like Dr. Dodge is going to be busy today . Superb production as always!! Thanks!!!
My goodness! The action was incredible and had me on the edge of my seat!! Not only the racing, but I was wondering how you would top marble soccer at the half, and, hold your beer...you TOPPED it with bowling for Billy!
That was a wild final race with a ruthless move by Dusty Miles shoving R-Lo off the track - I've not seen a car fly off there before, more often they get stalled!
I think you got gremlins, Mark. The WW2/Bugs Bunny-style gremlins, not the just-add-water kind. The Shavano-Nos? The GTRascals? Whatever they're called, they made for an entertaining yet perplexing race. :)
Awesome races! Every time I watch, I’m just waiting for a first on the track, and you didn’t disappoint. What a move by dusty on rlo! 😂. Great job fellas! 👍
The races keep getting better every time, competition was fierce and you really couldn’t pick a clear winner until race 6 with Dusty Miles. It came down to a sudden death race that R-LO wound up winning. On to QF #3
Great show. Can't believe that incident at the end with RLO and Dusty Miles causing a Tie Breaker. Accident or deliberate?? Great to see Big Foot helping out with track rescue. Hope the cow's are ok 🏁
@@gravitythrottleracing Thom Watson would have charged in to the booth to give you a solid _PHRASING,_ Richard!! 😂😂😂 Even Frank Gibbs might have raised an eyebrow at that one 😁 Well, now I don't have to bring this up in my own comment, definitely got a hearty guffaw from me!
I know I said in the comments of the last video that I was wondering if what the score would be for getting ahead of the train, but I didn't expect it to happen in the following video! XD

@@gravitythrottleracing I'm gonna do it again.
All experimental, yeah, so many factors on this track. Cheers

Best crashes that I can remember! Full contact racing! Congratulations to all four cars, that was great racing!

Thanks, Paul.
This group was pushing the limits all 8 laps+
Thankfull to be making it though to the semis agains some tough competition.
Your on fire lately congratulations on moving on. Way to Represent kansas

Best ever halftime show, hilarious bowling 😂😂😂 totaly great 😂😂😂
I LOVED marble soccer and was wondering how they would top it; hold their beer, they absolutely nailed it!!
Great Racing Today! Rugged time in the Snow tests the skills of the Drivers switching to Jacked up Beasts!
Rough seeing either Arlo or Numbskull lose but it had to be one of them. Congrats to Arlo for winning the race-off!
Boy the hold my beer guy's were sure busy through out this set of races, they earned their beer today, great racing guy's
ive just seen the video where you made the huge track and im just saying i have massive respect for you i want to be like this when i grow up too
Awesome! Keep the dream!!
These races are just flying by, maybe we're getting to that new track in a couple of weeks or so
Oh, i wish! New track in July... that's the plan right now.
@@gravitythrottleracingtalking about an additional track or a total rebuild?
@@Chris_Hood I'm constructing a second track, a sand dune track. I periodically post photos on the GTR Facebook page.
First, the half time show was so funny! You have to that again. Really happy for R-Lo, but sad for Numbskull... Again, what a great show you have put together.
May I ask you a "channel question"? What made you choose Tuesday morning to release new videos?
This is definitely one of the most fun tracks to watch you never know whats going to happen. And again this race did not disappoint. A nail bitter to the end!! Also the best halftime show out there.
That might be the first time I see a team with an official sponsor. Also, wild and unexpected way to finish regular group racing.
Great racing and off the track racing. Literally! Car-razy action. Gratz to the 2 drivers moving on.
"Keep your roof to the Sun". Mahalo! 🤙🏽
Awesome event and production. Great stuff Mark.
Thanks for always commenting!
It's like super glue for your eyes! Track is fantabulous and action nonstop!! 😎👍
Where has this been all my life? Very enjoyable to watch..you can tell a lot of thought and work went into building the track as well as the commentary well done gents
Many thanks!😃
The crash at 2:35 was so bad it even knocked over the albino cows!
Amazing race. Numb skull started with zero, but still had a chance at the end. Hell of a race!!
Some more good racing with a major take down by Dusty Miles.
This was an instant classic! Legendary face off and wow did it deliver!
Epic quarterfinal....and I really love that camera angle at 6:49. Can we have more of that in the regular races?
Sorry, R-Lo, but getting punted was funny!! Nice MMA play-by-play, too! At least R-Lo salvaged his day as it appeared Numbskull was damaged.
Great racing!!! Tough group today!! Are we gonna see more doctor's orders on th HMB guys , looks like Dr. Dodge is going to be busy today . Superb production as always!! Thanks!!!
Watching from Bangkok…your channel goes with me on my journeys 😃
Thanks for sharing! That is pretty cool to know. Wow!
Wow -- Dusty takes no prisoners.
Not as intense as race 1 but I still enjoyed. Thanks for the work. Cheers to those moving on. Bowling huh? nice camera view.
That was one of the craziest of all races at GTR ever
My goodness! The action was incredible and had me on the edge of my seat!! Not only the racing, but I was wondering how you would top marble soccer at the half, and, hold your beer...you TOPPED it with bowling for Billy!
HAHAHA! I'll tell ya, when the idea popped into my head I was stoked!

Hmm. Better call pest control 😂
The Shavano-Nos 🤣
50s doo-wop music group or a source of racing treachery? Great name, Feral!!
Nail biting action!
😁👍
Wild ride! Congrats to the pair advancing 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼😎
Awesome races! Every time I watch, I’m just waiting for a first on the track, and you didn’t disappoint. What a move by dusty on rlo! 😂. Great job fellas! 👍
Here breakfast with a sensational dispute, let's go
Great stuff.....AGAIN!!!
Yes this is becoming my can’t wait for another episode Content let’s go!!!
Another great race🏁🏎. Thanks and have a good day.
Great halftime show. Great vid!
This format is producing an ultra competitive sweet sixteen.

ahahah what incredible crashings in these races!!!! well for Ar-lo that has won the sudden death because last crashing in race 8 was CRAZYYYY!!!
Another great race!
Dusty had control of that race, only farting once in R2, great halftime 👍
Dusty Miles was a savage racer!
Lol, "Billy got a good one in the butt"... you're gonna need to change the rating from PG-13 to R on this race.
Oh dear! Hadn't put 2 and 2 together. Better have a talk with our censorship department. Lol.

_PHRASING,_ Richard!! 😂😂😂
Even Frank Gibbs might have raised an eyebrow at that one 😁
Well, now I don't have to bring this up in my own comment, definitely got a hearty guffaw from me!
OMG edge of seat racing
I know I said in the comments of the last video that I was wondering if what the score would be for getting ahead of the train, but I didn't expect it to happen in the following video! XD
6:23 - your halftime is HMB, right? But somehow we see the scoring is +2 for the HBM guy. Wonder who that is... :)
It didn't happen this time, but if any of the HMB guys are toppled by a marble without there being a strike, that's +2.
Dusty Miles turned it up a notch in the 2nd half.
And this is why your the best 😮😂
the cattle fell over too. Cow-tastrophe.
I love it
smoke merely picked up the spare!
fitte-fras er nice!
Place your bet folks place your bets👍🏻
What brand of cars?
Hotwheels Premium Baja Bouncer
Any problem with the track causing a DNF should be an automatic re-run of the race to ensure fairness to all drivers.
Appreciate your feedback
@@gravitythrottleracing love what you’re doing, please keep it up!
Yeaaaaah Maaaaaan
He threw him off the track!
Oh, and by the way, the scorecard after every race has some weird name - Papa Pusley - somehow he has lost his G.
Good catch, poor guy.
@@gravitythrottleracing Gee.....That was tough! Hehe
I can’t believe you guys actually punished numbskull for having an issue with your track
🤣
