GTR Baja Bison Challenge | Group 3 of 6

[@kingjester564]

Ahhh well at least I put up a good fight, a great race with stray dog and congrats to advancing to round 2.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

You put up a great fight! Glad to have you racing here.

[@scottlong6398]

Thanks, King Jester! Some good tough racing that could have gone either way!

[@g-forceracing_27]

Well done Jester! You’re getting faster, keep it up & you’ll be seeing checkers!! 😎🏁🏁🏁

[@enzedracing3641]

Well done mate, you were millimetres away from gold in a couple of races!! Your builds are definitely starting to scare the top blokes 💪🏽

[@donknott]

Nice to see the underdog win for a change. Rocky Tundra may actually win the whole thing.

[@g-forceracing_27]

Another great race! I’m impressed with these giant racers! Crazy but realistic, it seems people will race anything!! 😅

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

🎉Congrats to those who battled through, but well done all! Great show again today GTR, thanks! Cheers Marc D

[@kitgoodyear9270]

Planes, trains and automobiles. This show has everything. Great racing and show 🏁

[@Chris_Hood]

A thousand Space Bucks for anyone who names their driver "Irish Wristwatch" 😂 500 for "Purple Burglar" Kidding aside Swedish Jeff is a terrific name for racing Comicazi making so many amazing recoveries in this episode, equal parts skill & luck! The little Bison that could, wonderful outing for "the runt of the litter" today! Bravo, Stoopid Fish Racing!! KingJester you forced a run off here, and I for one am proud of you sticking right in the thick of it to the last, kudos 👏 Definitely want to see Ironbeard perform on the dunes track in his Sand Burner, lots of great drifting with that precise of a balanced build!! Maybe the CG is high when matched with that level of speed in parts of the course Wonderful show GTR!! I noticed the special finish graphics for the halftime runs, showing up well even on a phone screen! 💯😎🏁

[@StoopidFishRacing]

@@Chris_Hood Thanks! Nice to be on the "good side" of the craziness!😂🤪🤣

[@LiveYoungDieCast]

So many close ones! 🤘🏼

[@blackcatpr1970]

Welcome to Sudden Death Race Off Capital of the World !!! And we never get tired of those happening, they're like an extra shot of adrenaline!!! Really liked Ricky's litte Bison good job on that one !!! As always excellent production from GTR ! Congrats to the drivers moving on ...ARE YOU TRACKING ???

[@hilanddoug]

I love it when the racing is this close, with back and forth passes!

[@gdmracing1]

Good racing by all. Action packed exciting racing. Never underestimate the runt. LOL! Gratz to the drivers moving on. WTG! Another great show GTR. 1,000 thumbs up! "Keep your roof to the Sun". Mahalo! 🤙🏽

[@StoopidFishRacing]

Here we go! Hope my stubby bison isn't last!😂😂😂 I hope you do a Sand Burner race! Some close runs in there! Yay! My first heat win! Another great race and vid from a great crew!

[@kurtwicklund8901]

Good luck!

[@jamesroach6348]

nice blocking in 5 :D

[@DutchClutchRacing]

Nice JOB!

[@StoopidFishRacing]

@@DutchClutchRacing Thanks DC!

[@scottlong6398]

That little runt has some kick to it! Nice job!

[@IndianaDiecastRacing]

i'm tracking!

[@numbskulldiecastracing]

These Bisons are fun. Mark, the postproduction editing that you've done to the half-time show is super cool, all of the short clips reveal tons of storyline and fast racing action. Nice work, well-done, and crazy-good fun to watch. 🤩😎🍺

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Thanks for that feedback. Really helps me to know this.

[@jamesbasey8023]

Another awesome round of racing at GTR!! Great video Mark. I didn't think my sand burner could beat 22 sec. It did ok but was a little top heavy. Thanks for running it bud. Now slap those off road wheels on it and see how it runs on your new track! 😊

[@Chris_Hood]

@@jamesbasey8023 a whole lot of good drifting! Kudos on achieving such a tight balance F/R!

[@TheMunchBoogie]

Loved the way the drivers were passing each other, simply great racing.

[@DutchClutchRacing]

No spoilers here but CONGRATS you 2 advancing!

[@roccoantoniosanza6376]

beautifull race

[@DogSquabRacing]

Awesome stuff! Those sudden death race-offs are fun to watch. Great job Mark!

[@dahlstardiecast3314]

Alway enjoy watching your 🏁races. Thanks and have a great weekend.

[@strictlyaesthetic9202]

I could watch this all day..... Let the men be men ........ Amazing

[@jasonsanders-fox5131]

Love this channel. Love the tournament. The racing is just awesome, and I can't wait for the next installment. Thanks bro for literally brightening up my day. Best diecast racing 🏁 out there, easily. 💯👍🇬🇧🤜🤛💪😜👌

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Thanks, Jason!

[@ricksdiecastracing]

Wow some tight finishes once again. Awesome builds by all. And yet another sudden death match. I have to hold my breath every time i watch one of your races. Great job as always.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

@@ricksdiecastracing Thanks for the encouragement! If you're holding your breath, I better not make these videos any longer. 😉

[@paulspriggs8236]

Great racing and humour as always. Can’t wait to see the next round and how the new track is coming on !!

[@abasudoh7459]

It's either all or nothing for Stray Dog lol

[@kurtwicklund8901]

That was quite the competitive group. I thought Swedish Jeff might get through on consistency. He seemed slow out of the blocks or right after jumping the creek. Not by a lot but enough that he was always playing catch-up even before entering the drift or joker.

[@mikebillett7935]

Thanks Kurt, we were willing him on too. Gutted that all of the ”performance mods” we made only made him slower….

[@CalixtoErico]

I like the half-time time trials. Keep them up. :)

[@gravitythrottleracing]

@@CalixtoErico Thanks for the feedback.

[@sstdiecastracing2372]

Another awesome race with great drivers. Half time was really good showing multiple views. The ending was up in the air as always. Never can predict this track. I really enjoyed. Thanks for the hard work.

[@jodybobble]

Nice one

[@MichaelPiz]

Started out pulling for Swedish Jeff because paint job. Slowly switched to Rocky Tundra because baby bison. Still would've liked to see Jeff move on too but that didn't work out. Watching today from a hospital bed (I'm fine, it's just a thing). Thanks for the entertainment - it's really boring here.

[@StoopidFishRacing]

get better soon! Thanks for rooting for the little guy! I don't know if you noticed but the little guy has a stylized bison graphic on the side!

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Sorry to hear! I'll hurry to get the last EVO round complete.

[@MichaelPiz]

@@gravitythrottleracing Don't hurry on my account. It's not major.

[@MichaelPiz]

@@gravitythrottleracing No need to rush on my account, I'll be fine. Thanks, though!

[@mikebillett7935]

Hope you are doing ok in hospital and Thanks for the kind words about swedish Jeffs paint job. We didn’t get through but it was an honour to join in after following for so many years on the TV. We’ll be back….

[@drgruber57]

Ah yes, another gradual death elimination. 😉

[@MyBsquared]

👍

[@134rwa]

Rocky Tundra really surprised them, don't overlook Stupid Fish Racing, Haha

[@stevensons78]

Dem Carolina Boys sure can Drive

[@mikebillett7935]

Nail-biting races, we were willing our Swedish Jeff to make it through to the next round, dissapointed that he didn’t perform as we had hoped, but sometimes we win, and sometimes we learn. Studying the footage, polishing the mudflaps/steps in front of the wheels, to reduce the chance of digging in on a front heavy landing, was a classic example of Swedish Jeffs mechanic overthinking stuff, as it looked like the front was catching the edge of the track and slowing him down. We’ll be back….. Ses snart! (That’s Swedish Jeffish for see you soon)

[@mikebinsufficientfundsraci748]

Fun racing today

[@IndianaDiecastRacing]

Borg? Sounds Swedish...

[@БылоДело-я3г]

Привет ребята! Скажите пожалуйста, движение поезда рандомное, или привязано к старту? Я хочу понять дополнительные очки зависят от чёткого тайминга прохождения трассы, или абсолютный рандом?

[@StoopidFishRacing]

I am not certain of the mechanism used to start the train... maybe Mark can tell us. The extra points come from jumping over the train before the caboose passes by. Only the lanes that jump the train are eligable for extra points and the train only runs after the halftime show.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

@user-xf8ub7zo8r I get the train up to full speed on the loop. There's a marker next to the train tracks in the dessert area that i use to click the start switch. I dont have an electronic sensor that does this automatically. I thought about doing that, but I've been too busy with constructing my Sand Dunes track.

[@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer]

So what happened with the triceratops? You can't just show us a stranded dinosaur and leave us and him hanging.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

😂 stay tuned!

[@Matt_8000]

I think that Aaron jinxed these races. In Round 1, he noted there was only 2 DNFS Before Halftime, there was a TRIPLE DNF, and it feels like they can’t stop DNFing now

[@FonzietheCapybara]

This was a great race but it (suddenly) occurred to me that Sudden Death isn't. Sudden Death means next points/win wins, this is best of three!

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Yeah, I had one fellow really press me on this issue, and I get it. Football used to call it Overtime Sudden Death, but the first score didn't always end it. As you know, if one team kicked a field goal, the other team still had an opportunity to score. After a couple of seasons, the NFL changed the name to Modified Overtime. That's why I joke about it being Overtime or Sudden Death, or whatever you want to call it.

[@FonzietheCapybara]

@@gravitythrottleracing Well, I at least, promise to not bring it up again. I shall assume it's something that the HMB Guys snuck into Aarron and Richard's script early on and they didn't know any better at the time, and now it's Tradition!

[@GregPorterOPS44]

Oops. Richard said at 09:44 "looking good over the TRAIN jump" when that part is actually the CREEK jump. :) :) :)

[@jasonsanders-fox5131]

Well spotted bro 😜🇬🇧👍

[@kreidas]

Stray Dog was probably the most dirtiest driver I've seen in this channel so far... all that sabotage towards King Jester!!!

[@kingjester564]

@@kreidas hey rubbin is racing, I’m just happy that at the very least I was putting up a good fight and gave a good race.

[@kreidas]

@@kingjester564 While I would say that overall if it was a good race, it did seem that at times that Stray Dog intentionally did certain things to hinder your progress in a very unprofessional way. I would need to look back at this tape to make sure, but I guess my question towards GTR is this - If a driver did use dirty play towards another driver, are there any penalties? What would be considered dirty/foul play in a race format like this one? I refer to 10:03 and 12:35 as evidence. Thanks for any replies.

[@Chris_Hood]

​@@kreidas after competitors pass the first hill after the creek jump, what happens is what happens. Interference *before* that part of the snow section can force a restart

[@kreidas]

@@Chris_Hood Hmm, Okay. So, in short, no holds barred after the creek jump, no matter the means or method?

[@Chris_Hood]

@@kreidas all I can do is relay the rules of the host on his behalf as to where a restart is warranted. I have seen another host issue "demerits" to a blocking driver under certain circumstances and two such demerits in a single episode kicks a racer out. Much different racing format there, though
