For sure man! Can't wait for next time.

Loved the energy and your joy to be out there. Looked like a bunch of fun.

Just randomly saw this and it was very interesting, now you got me thinking of Karting myself! Thanks mate very informative and exciting to see something different.

[@TheFlatlander440]

You were def kicking it Casey and looked like you had a blast. I could tell turn one was def your best chance to close the gap and make a pass. Too fun and thanks for sharing. Cheers!!

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

Fun video, great content, Casey! It's been too long since I was in a kart. Your footage took me RIGHT THERE, I could feel the adrenaline rising, I was judging apexes. I'm not all that competitive, but on the track, I MUST WIN. :)

i thought for sure in the intro that you had cut your finger on the lockwire for the wheel nuts. i have done that a couple times when i was in a hurry to change my wheels out lol.

[@forresttm]

I am not smart enough to know I am old. Casey Putch 2021 Also how I live my life..

[@ReverendBow]

Any chance you can put a shorter gear in it? The 206 has a 6100RPM limiter on it, but a slightly smaller clutch gear (or taller rear axle gear) will bump your RPM and might be what you need for out of the hole and out of the corners. It sounded like the motor was bogging out of the corners. Good video, looks like a blast

[@colemcmeans7809]

sweet hogans goat that looks like great fun

[@BShine-ei7hn]

Would have won if you had gotten a blue shell. That was a lot of fun to watch!

[@simrigpc27b12]

Looking good dude, next up X30 at Newcastle 😃

[@hilanddoug]

Lead weights go in your pockets before the cart gets weighed with you in it. Then before the race, you remove the lead weights from your pockets. Haven't you learned anything from John Ficarra?

[@XxSpecOpsxX]

i dont know why but the "that kid didnt exist" line had me dying

[@brianrichards782]

Looks like a lot of fun but very hard to make a move 2 wide

[@JJPelszynski]

There are Not a lot of opportunities for clean passing. Great job though and loads of fun watching your progress! Not Last haha

[@kyleteal5888]

So are you adding weight or taking away some spring in the clutch or are you running a Bully clutch

[@ChrisPBacon-bu7wf]

Casey quick tip on weighing the kart. If the kart is underweight try standing in the middle of the kart (on the seat if you can) and shift your weight around and you can usually add a few kgs.

[@johnnyturbo8460]

How sore or beat up did you feel that night and / or the next day or two after?

What happened to the previous vid?

[@mattbrewster5766]

You need to power man. They were pulling away from you in the straightaway. Obviously I'm not telling you something you don't already know,. But you were also obviously a much better driver in each race you ran. So imagine what you can do with a little more speed, and also have more driving talent then the majority of your competitors! Great video man! I look forward to seeing more videos in the future with that badass cart! I need to research if there is a circuit close to Wichita Ks.

were you "feelin it" the next day ole man ?

[@dustdriverdd]

Was it still 2 pounds over weight at the end after removing the torsion bar? I'm hoping battery technology will get better to the point it's affordable to have a fast electric kart.

[@CaseyPutsch]

I removed the bar for handling. 2 pounds is a small amount.

[@dustdriverdd]

​@@CaseyPutsch I was just confused that at the beginning the Kart was 4 pounds under weight, so you added 5 pounds. But then removed the torsion bar after practice. But at those weight differences it's of course enough to drink a bottle of water and weight 1 pound more. Don't mind me, I'm just nitpicking :p

[@CaseyPutsch]

At Fremont, both side pods get beat. It more about who has marks on their nose or tail.
