ALMOST RAN OVER A GOPHER -- Whiteland Raceway Park LO206 MGM Hot Lap

My friend Steve Kilsdonk let me get a test in his MGM Espionage Kart City built Briggs LO206 racing kart (which finished 1st, 2nd and 2nd at this year's Battle at the Brickyard) to see what a modern kart chassis feels like. We went to the small Whiteland Raceway Park in Whiteland Indiana to shake the kart down. I ran for the better part of an hour, but only filmed one of my runs... in which I had to dodge a furry friend on the track.

LOOK OUT DIGGER!

[@kling2296]

Throwback haha! Looks like you were enjoying it.

[@WookieDrives]

Man you really need to get your GoPro angled upwards just a tad. Just driving me nuts trying to see the track lol.

[@Kreeschon]

Jimmy Broadbent had the same issue in the video he uploaded today.

[@48fanfromky]

When I raced karts, I liked to angle my Go Pro down so I could see my feet.

[@whatincarnation95]

digger really let himself go huh

[@davidhonkstvorisit4811]

Once fox ditched him life just got hard

[@TotoDG]

That’s what you get for being in Alvin and the Chipmunks 2!

[@southpaw17fl16]

If you can, tilt the GoPro up just a little, so we can have a better view of the track coming and still see your hands and feet. Great videos keep up the great work

[@Dual_80]

Digger now supports your local karting track after fox gave him the boot

[@francoisready3133]

Almost had a Big Al 1988 moment

[@TotoDG]

Well, at least now we know this channel’s new biggest meme.

[@CoSmicGoesRacing]

SovietOnion nah I still prefer the “Our Lord and Savior” meme for Buddy Lazier and Fred Nando Lonso.

[@TotoDG]

Nah, that’s as old as the Emu War meme in Australia.

[@jeffreyoldham55]

️🎶 I'm all right...nobody worry 'bout me️🎶

[@chevypower22350]

If you're going to learn from anyone Steve is the guy to do it. I need to try and get out to Whiteland next year.

[@TotoDG]

Number 51? Honouring the late Doc Hudson, I see.

[@DrivenMediaFilms]

I want to join a karting series it's one of my lifelong dreams. Looks like so much fun.

[@brennan_lsr]

I've been waiting a long time for this

[@joshsmithson7955]

DIGGER WATCH OUT

[@gunnarray2342]

There is a kid at my local outdoor track who is a great driver. He ran over a gopher thing im not sure what it was and kept on running over the dead body.

[@haasinator13ps4pc]

Dinger makes a return!

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Not Dinger. Digger.

[@DarthEvilicus]

BWOAHHHH der is a gopher or something I don’t know what it is called

[@Marine450x]

That is NOT a gopher, it is maybe a woodchuck or groundhog. Gophers are the size of a mole or medium size rat; < 1lbs and do not run, they scurry. That critter was 2 or 3lbs and running.

[@CarsSimplified]

That could have gotten messy real fast.

[@NSx2006]

Gopher... looking more like a goopher (sorry that was a terrible joke)

[@pokemontcgmetafanclub4396]

What’s crazy is that I went to whiteland high school and this track is literally a 25 minute drive from me

[@sonicimperium]

Hope you were wearing you Hans Device...

[@gabemarques9073]

Do it for Digger!

[@RyanDyer]

Gopher it

[@geekhead220]

Digger in the thumbnail triggered my PTSD

[@lucskywalker8441]

#davidvsdigger

[@michaelhenderson3309]

I almost drilled a Canada Goose there one time.

[@NSx2006]

Does anyone remember whoooooo was in the track at Michigan I think it was???

[@Dual_80]

Now we've got confirmation its a groundhog

[@johnwise9440]

It was at Auto Club

[@ReactorFour]

#51 MGM... is that Kilsdonk’s kart?

[@DavidLand91]

Indeed it is. It's a freaking beast.

[@vr4725]

Does anyone know what time the Indycar test starts tomorrow? I know its off topic but cant find the info.

[@DavidLand91]

9 am

[@cartermcfall5766]

Now go to new castle

[@DavidLand91]

We tried, they were closed.

[@cartermcfall5766]

David Land they’re final race was this past weekend so it might be a while before you can

[@frmnNnj]

Animals always seem to run on roads with vehicles...

[@marksenter6486]

That was a woodchuck or groundhog or whistlepig...not a gopher!

[@ReactorFour]

Tater digger almost hit a...... tater digger.

[@thomasdumbill9828]

Ah yes, that gopher has small brain

[@Eibarwoman]

And smooth brain

[@isaacwaldrep]

When did this happen

[@Snickerbar18]

22nd

[@michaeljezierski7158]

Real Kart racers run two stroke engines 🤑

[@W123KartSport]

@Michael Jerezski, Yamaha KT100 till I die. With a pipe I may add

[@stevenkilsdonk2046]

That kart has outrun some pretty phenomenal 2-stroke drivers, thank you very much.

[@Dual_80]

Are you gatekeeping gokarts?

[@stevenkilsdonk2046]

@@Dual_80 it's my kart and when I'm driving it you might as well call me Gandalf because You cannot pass.

[@W123KartSport]

@@stevenkilsdonk2046 in no way was I meaning to bash on you or any LO206 drivers. I have just been racing Yamaha since I started years ago and am too stubborn to change. (Also don't have the resourced). I have the utmost respect for your driving especially after your epic performance at the Brickyard
