I used to race Laydown Karts with Woodbridge Kart club & WKA & we never got to run the full course just the north Course. Very challenging but not as fun as the full course . A fast track & after 15 years of Karting i had my fill & fun. Our main track was Summit Point Raceway which in my opinion is way more fun the VIR was.

Great comeback! Exciting to see you take the lead back. Does the hand gesture mean you want a push from behind?
@skipjrracingАй бұрын
Thank you! Usually it's asking for a push, sometimes it's an apology or acknowledgement

Is the "G-force sensor" pretty accurate? VIR is a great track! Nice video, that racing is so close you have to push for every inch and sometimes chit happens. Good recovery drive.

Very true, sometimes I forget how close to the limit we are until I make a minor mistake like missing the downshift at 8:27 and it makes me blow the whole corner!

Sorry about losing the wheel Skip... On a different note, the restart on this race was a complete joke. If I would have seen it during the protest period I would have 100000% thrown paper...
@skipjrracingАй бұрын
I thought the restart was fine, I was in the wrong gear and road atlanta naturally gives the lead cars an advantage on restarts if they play it right. The flagstand at pit entry mistakenly kept the double yellow up, which apparently also happened to SMX and led to some controversial penalties.
@SneakyMoose7Ай бұрын
@@skipjrracing Per the rulebook, the lead car is supposed to maintain the pace car speed until the green. Chuck and Danny went full throttle in 10B. I was in 12th place and I could not go full throttle until I was coming down the hill. The advantaged gained by Chuck/Danny was entirely unfair. Our rules are not like Formula 1 or MX5 Cup where the leaders can just go way early. Maybe if they slowly got onto the gas and the whole field could go with them, then I wouldn't have a problem with it, but they went so early it caught a lot of people slacking. It gave them a clear advantage for the remainder of the 7 lap race.

next time take your hands off the wheel right before the impact to save your hands and your back because you can absorb all the shock. best of luck!

The wheel to wheel touch threw the wheel out of your hands and put a full turn right into the car. By the time you started undwinding back left it was too late. Sorry that happened. You’ll get’m next time!

What camera setup do you use? I race ITA Miata and have a hard time finding the right spot with my gopro to keep it from getting overexposed. Cant seem to get outside footage from in cabin without it being overly bright
@skipjrracing5 ай бұрын
there is a feature on gopros usually called "spot" where you can choose a spot on the image to set the exposure to. I have it set directly in the middle, where the camera is facing the track outside the windshield.

doesn't matter who's ahead, you each have responsibility to leave space and avoid contact. I went too wide on exit after clipping the inside curb
