Great Sand Dunes | B-CLASS | Semifinal #2

[@jblot50]

Amazing race! Congratulations to Dune Man. Why did the points change from 4 points for first back to 5 points? Class B Group 1 had 4 points for first. Start at 2min35sec in the first 8 round race.

[@myleslopes6266]

I noticed that too. I figured it was a simple mistake due to switching between Class A QF races and Class B Semis. Even at 4 points for first (if my maths is correct), Dune Man would have still ended up with 36 points.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

​@myleslopes6266 Yes, you both are right. That's what I get for running two tournaments at once!😅. For the record: Dune Man.....36 Crazy Legs....11 Turn Pike Ike..8 [he landed on his wheels in race 5] Iceman..........26

[@jblot50]

@gravitythrottleracing it's all good my friend. Still the best race channel ever!

[@Dromio]

I love that Dun Man car! There's a little guy in there! Great racing to all, and to all a good night!

Ducks always make me smile.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

And what a clever gift from Polo!😂

[@Ducksy_YT_]

I’m loving the duck action! It’s quackers.

[@hilanddoug]

Wow, 41 points?! Heck of a racer! Great stuff this morning.

[@myleslopes6266]

Thank you so much Mark, for all of your work (and your assistants). Great racing by all, and some really bad luck for Crazy Legs. I'm ecstatic about Dune Man making it through to the next round. I'm also pleased that he learned from the last round and didn't go "full send" this time. He thought about "sending it" a couple of times, but managed to restrain himself. 😁👍 I also never thought he would make it to Billy's train, let alone derail it. Thanks again to everyone involved.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

One great dune buggy! One great driver, too. I love that we can see him behind the wheel.

[@jasonsanders-fox5131]

41 points out of a possible 52 points ain't too shabby, well done👍. Dune Man definitely did his thing on the Dunes today. Awesome job guys, thanks🙏💯👌🥳

Like sands through the hourglass. So are the Dunes of our lives.. Great show 🏁

🤣 and I hope it's as unpredictable as the dunes of our lives.

​@@gravitythrottleracing You know that show is scripted, right? Oops... 🤔😁

Dune man was driving today. That thing is balanced perfectly. Landed the jump almost every lap.

[@kittermanspeedshop]

What a showdown! And all the quackin!

[@Chris_Hood]

Two drivers left it all on the sand this time, nothing held back in winner take all cutthroat racing action! Is this a first for the series, using colour for drivers names on the scoreboard? Very well done with everything coming through nicely even on a mobile screen! My singular note on today's show is we didn't see the usual overhead replay of that awesome Train Bonus collision by Dune Man in the second half, in which he cut off the trailing section of the cars. If you still have that footage, perhaps it could be released as a short? Way to go Dune Man, proving that pretty is as pretty does, and with authority in this case!! 💯😎🏁

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Unfortunately, the overhead finish camera was out of position, so no footage. 😢 I will say it was a loud bang! Chris and Mick were helping me film. We all heard it... ducks everywhere!😂

[@GregPorterOPS44]

at 8:29 in the upper right corner, we see a hideous giant hand come in to reset the timer. (not sure I'm ready for behind-the-scenes action like this!)

[@gravitythrottleracing]

You caught me!! I didn't see that until after the video was uploaded. It was quick... good eyes!

[@TheMunchBoogie]

Kinda feel sad for Turn Pike Ike and Crazy Legs, but it's competition so the best driver won.

[@Raymond-xk4pm]

If Dune Man went any faster, he could have been Marty on Back To The Future!

[@travisbubbafoster6416]

Great show guys!

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Thank you

Duneman said "I'll hold me own Fosters, but watch this..."

1 time every 4-round race, so last week and today's group B semi-finals had two opportunities.

[@DiecastMayhem]

Awesome race. I always appreciate your production value in your videos. I'm wondering what kind of camera do you use to record with? I know you have multiple that are set up along the track, but any insight would be really appreciated. Thank you.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

The racing is filmed with GoPros. For the introductions, I use a DJI Pocket 3.

At 8:29 what is that in the top right? Do the racers know that the hand of a god could pick them up at any time? 😅 Love the content. ❤

Aha! You're the 2nd one to comment on that. Good eyes!

[@Galaxie_ivy]

How did you come up with the layout fir your tracks?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

It's all homemade track. I began designing this layout a year ago.

[@Galaxie_ivy]

@gravitythrottleracing it's absolutely beautiful. Scenery and all. I wish I could see somw of my cars race it.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

@Galaxie_ivy Thank you very much! It would be great to have you race here. I post all my tournaments on Redlinederby.com.

[@Whitehousebeetle]

There is a fault in the score in race 5. Turn Pike Ike should have had an extra point for landing on his wheels.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Good catch, thanks!

[@TheSparky62]

Of course a 1970's Matchbox won!

[@kurtwicklund8901]

All of Class A is happy Dune Man ended up in Class B somehow.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Agreed

[@myleslopes6266]

I'd like to think that, but he's no match for the big hitters in Class A. There are some truly fast guys in that group. 🙂

[@kurtwicklund8901]

​. Fast yes but Dune Man is consistently smooth and stable.

[@rpm4445]

So is Aaron and Richard actually two different people or do you just change your voice for one?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

What's your guess? 😉

[@kurtwicklund8901]

I always assumed you had a pal doing Aaron. But some comments on a couple recent videos seemed to imply you do both voices. But I can detect notes of "Richard's" voive in tbe HMBG voices. But I cannot detect these in Aaron's voice. So I dunno.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

@kurtwicklund8901 It's pretty cool what pitch change does to a voice. Nowadays, AI can take a recording of your voice and completely replace it with an AI voice. I haven't gone that far.

[@rpm4445]

[@gravitythrottleracing]

What compelled you to think it was fixed?

[@Flipflopskipskop]

@gravitythrottleracing those 2 cars legit dnf almost every race, while one dude straight up smoked it and finished first and up right just about every time.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

@Flipflopskipskop The Cherokee had trouble in general for 2 reasons: too aft loaded and suspension too tight. The off-road Toyota is not weighted enough. It's too light. This is a mail in tournament, so I race what's sent. I am going to give these builders constructive feedback so they do better next time. This is the very first contest on this new track. A-Class racing drops on KZbin today. Please watch it and see if you feel the same way. I do appreciate any feedback. Hope it's not lame to you.
