Thanks!

Was fun racing you both again. Nice to end season at NJMP on a sunny day. We weren’t much of a threat, alas, but at least you had team Dune Bucket to keep you busy. I think me and Alex had a pretty big gap to next group behind us so we just had fun trying to push each other along and see if we could squeak off a couple more tenths. Alex managed to get 44.0 on both karts but we weren’t able to break into 43s. Could be that I’ve gotten too fat!

Zoiks! Glad you were able to zig!

It isn't intuitive that's for sure. Come do the league for speed 4. Way more fun and longer heats.

I had misgivings. Did not want to get banged up.

And then there's the opposite traffic stuff.... 😮

You have arrived at your destination.

Aieee!

WEDS!

​@@dominiquecallan148same man see you there!

Was great to have you!

@@KartingPOV thanks! Fady almost had me! Was a fun one.

@@KartingPOV let the other guys battle and slide on by is my philosophy! Thank you!

@@hoha2362 very cool! You can rent the baby rotax 2-stroke there and it's a lot of fun. It would be interesting to try ka100 or x30.

@@nikspeeds unfortunately it was called after 25mins and race cancelled.

@@dominiquecallan148 oh nooooooooooo ... Was it pouring? Or bc of lightning? Any refunds?

@nikspeeds the track was fine until we started and it began misting. By 17 mins in it got very slick and was a spin fest. They decided to cancel race and reschedule. TBD.

@@dominiquecallan148 hopefully they don't pick one of the other endurance days... But I guess it was a night race so ideally it stays a night race

@nikspeeds yeah we were doing the 2 teams two guys thing so hopefully it works out

@@nikspeeds I agree! I think right side on the kerb caused the slip.

@@motodirty yeah it was a good one. Decent fleet though there are some dogs.

Nope the race was on Liberator.

@@dominiquecallan148 ah! What class of kart? Doesn’t look rental

@chaseRundle it's basically rentals but slightly more hp. It's a traveling series called Endurance Karting. www.procupkarting.com The karts are Dino rentals with gx270 but freer exhaust. The series travels with its own fleet.

@@dominiquecallan148 that’s awesome! Thanks Dom!

@@chaseRundle no problem. It's a great series that's worth trying if they come by near you.

@@reverb_25 the normal long one I think. I've been there a few times and it's always been this layout.

@@dominiquecallan148 ahh ok, also do you get to select your kart number? I seen that they got new Sodi’s this year so that could change if you were able to

@@reverb_25 that video is from a race put on by Chris McCoy’s operation called endurance karting. www.procupkarting.com He has his own fleet that he travels the east coast with. The race you are doing in October might be an AMP race run by them on their rentals? The way karting draw usually works is random assignment. In the case of EK, the team captains draw from a bag before quali.

@@dominiquecallan148 ohhh ok, that makes more sense on why that you weren’t racing their CRG’s. I think that’s what AMP had

@@matthewstark9071 this is in first half and we are 2-3 at this point. 1 was up ahead out of sight .

Was great fun! See you next time.

@alono916 sorry responded to wrong video. This was just a spin out in front which we all reacted to as well as we could. I managed to have a more glancing blow.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@nikspeeds indeed. He did get the win though next heat and got to go again in the other division. That send under us required 10 to lean against me to complete the turn. Grr.

Hahahahah I always show my frustration, worked out well like Dom said tho 😊 see ya next week

@nikspeeds I just wish the Gopro max wasn't so fucking useless past about 7mins. Epic fail on their part having the stabilization die always around then.

@nikspeeds I see it more as 10 sending and creating the squeeze.

​@@dominiquecallan148 curious, is 7 minutes the stitch point for the max? And are you using the auto-stitched video when you load it here? I'm wondering if that process is failing. You mentioned something about it handling stitching the videos when it auto loads to cloud. Wondering if you took the videos right off the memory card if it would be the same 🤔

@@nikspeeds yeah that occurred to me. It probably loses it because the new segment starts and it's low light. I may try downloading gooro labs and use the chapter extender which will triple the length of the chapter.

@@nikspeeds gopro.github.io/labs/control/chapters/ of interest perhaps

They kept moving the barriers back but eventually they gave up!

Thank you! What a brutal race/day. Congrats as well. Just surviving the heat and humidity was an accomplishment in itself. Video doesn’t do it justice, felt like Kimi driving through the smoke sometimes.

@@nikspeeds that might be a body placement thing. I did notice 6 was harder to turn in finals. You can see me run off a bit once in the sharp right to back fast bit exit in finals. But mostly, I noticed that the brakes went bad over the evening. Finals I couldn’t get lockups which had me running wider.

@@nikspeeds he wanted to get racing! Can’t blame him but I was briefly concerned for the powerful man’s toes! While I get it why Keith put the new kerbs there, the fact that they beach karts so efficiently is sort of a problem. The one dude taking his belt off, though, I’m like please don’t get out man, thinking to myself.

Can’t make out why 10 spun. It could be that he got tapped but it also could be that he just kept angle in too long and turned himself. It’s definitely less of a shitshow without the mg reds up front but it’s still a place where folks go round with angle in and throttle on exit.

@@dominiquecallan148it seems to me that he didn’t go wide enough into t1 (maybe don’t know he was side to side) thus cutting off the guy next to him who didn’t have time to react causing the debacle

Perhaps you are correct. It seems to me that he didn’t straighten out and the back decided to say au revoir suddenly. Perhaps he was trying to avoid kart left and rather than reducing throttle, kept it pinned and just snap spun. Yellow helmet didn’t hit him and neither did left kart, as far as I can see.

@@nikspeeds thanks! I’m 170 and I think he’s around 160 so not that significant. We both made plenty of mistakes though! He does brake a bit earlier where I was tapping him, so maybe he’s got better time through that section. I was playing with being less rotationally lifty there in finals when I had track to myself. While he did seem to have better top end, perhaps I had more midrange. I’d catch him in corners a lot but he’d make hay in the higher speed bits. The karts are all so tired it’s hard to draw any meaningful comparisons.

@@nikspeeds I was a bit frustrated… by the time I was getting a good lap going, we were done. I’d like to see an extra lap or two for quali. 5 mins is too short because, even with hanging back, it seems like you spend 3 -4 laps just getting to clear track. But, I guess that’s the challenge.

Yeah I was complaining for quali that they should delay us out like something like Supercharged does especially with such short time. Also since they have the data they might as well organize by our previous best times so all the newer people fall to the bottom.

If you notice my quali starts out with me miles behind because I sat at the pit exit waiting for a nice big gap, which was ruined in 10 seconds when I immediately caught up to the two who spun each other out from being on top of each other lol. Almost a good idea!

@nikspeeds I was thinking along similar lines but the league seems to attract new folks each week and David would have to have prior knowledge of their laptimes. I do like your idea of sending us out with a few secs between karts, however. Let’s make that suggestion Thursday.

Yeah same. I held way back but the two ahead were battling each other from the get go. In time folks will figure it out, quali wise. I think we have folks where it’s all brand new and aren’t thinking that way yet.

Thank you! 😃

Yeah was pleasant once everyone had gotten by

3:58 I give them all the space in the world… still get hit lol. The passing is pretty atrocious.

@@nikspeeds the albanese branded ones are GF! Good, too. “What Brands Of Gummy Bears Are Gluten Free? Lily's Gummy Bears. Smartsweets Gummy Bears. Yum Earth Gummy Bears. Albanese Gummi Bears. Boston Fruit Slices. Black Forest Gummy Bears. Candy People Swedish Dala Horse. Pink Panda Sour Gummies.”

@@dominiquecallan148 the black forest Organic 60 pack from Costco >>

Mostly it's organizational stuff. Understand the rules specific to the race. How many stops do you have to make... where do you have to stop when pitting out and in... when do pits close and reopen... it's helpful to create a spreadsheet where you sort of plot it out, on a simple level, divide out the stops into the time. Account for length of stop. So, in our 6hrs we have 15 stops 2 of which are fuel. The fuel stops are 5 mins. Avoid battling. It's slow, you just want to get as many laps in. Don't fight if not necessary. If a faster guy is on you instead of holding them back, follow them and use their wake to get through traffic. If you find someone of similar pace draft them. Work together and worry about winning the race with an hour to go or less. Comfort is imoortant. Make sure to have sufficient water and importantly hydration supplements for your water. Don't underestimate heatstroke and exhaustion. In this race, my son shown here had to drop. In my team, one of my drivers also had to drop due to heatstroke. Ambulance came three times for other guys as well. Shade, hydration, folding chairs, etc. Prepare and be comfortable. Races are a lot less painful in the cooler months or indoors obviously. If it's your first enduro I'd recommend 3 min for a 6hr race. 4 will be easier. But as you get used to it duo becomes very doable. If you are eastern coast USA a magical race is the 6hr of Atlanta, at AMP in Nov. Utterly gorgeous bucket list track. forums.kartpulse.com/t/rebel-scum-endurance-karting-6-hrs-of-atl/11405?u=bimodal_rocket These guys do very good races: www.procupkarting.com/ As you get more experienced in it, how and when you stop matters. We won the NJ race and our strategy involved burning stops early and going longer at end. Beware that this can bite you in the butt. Heat can make that a problem (Andre, our hot shoe, conked out after his long first heat). Also, you can have mechanicals which might put you up a stop due to forced pit. So leave margin for error. Also, be flexible. If someone needs to stay out for longer if pits are crowded or something, play it by ear.

@@dominiquecallan148Wow thank you for all of the feedback! I usually have been running the leagues over at autobahn in Joliet which is where we plan on racing. Definitely want to drop by Atlanta though eventually! Track looks amazing

I can't tell what it is. It seems exactly like the system that is used to slow the karts when it detects a spin kart. But it's intermittent... it could be the engine being blaaaarfh but again, intermittent.

Exactly, and my cart would do it by the pits also after the front straight, but it was intermittent. Weird

Nic and Randall had the same issue

I heard the guys in cart 2 and 7 had a jammer... 🤣🤣🤣

@@motodirty I've gotten it exiting onto straight, in the final turns before straight, and on backside in the fast chicane bit when near another kart. Very odd.

Mine handled pretty well, was just the brakes were soft and the putt putt. But the soft brakes were manageable once you figured it out.

@@motodirty it's totally dead now (8). Drove like 1. Same behavior in race last night. Tyler got it also and said same. It's likely got a break somewhere in from end.

It really was! A good long one too! You took it back and we went at it again!

Yes it was glorious. Now get outta my way!
