[@frankiemanning1743]

Great racing. Congrats to Marco (Polo). I was rooting for Johnny Smack,but good racing. Looking forward to next week. Thank you for the great videos.

[@sstdiecastracing2372]

OK, WOW, sweating my butt off. Just came in from outside. Another wonderful way for Sunday. I hope to hear, "Marco"..."Polo", hahaha. and cousin Ricky is out. Lets Go!

[@BeaverworxDiecastRacing]

Congratz on an excellent tournament! Gratz to the winner.. (no spoiler) Great watch all the way and loved the way your track evolved from the start to the finish 🦫

[@SonoraDiecastRacing]

Great job! This is my favrourite track!

[@jerryrodrigues1390]

Awesome racing fellas congratulations to Marco Polo. Great work Gravity throttle.

[@ruckusracing419]

Now that was more what I expected back in the first round. Johnny took more wreckers than checkers, but I was certainly entertained. Congratulations to all. Especially Marco. Go Smack those Season 4 fools for us! And thank you to GTR!!

[@blackcatpr1970]

Mission accomplished!!!

[@TinyTrackCars]

Finally caught up! Great final. Congrats Marco Polo!! I’m most excited for the upcoming halftime shows 😂😂💪🏼🤙🏼

[@ChristianTravelers]

Thanks in advance for next week! Your win at Old Yadkin Valley was really exciting and we were rooting for you!

[@timothywalker2810]

Great racing. Congrats on your win over at Old Yadkin Valley as well

[@dahlstardiecast3314]

Super cool racing 🏁. Very entertaining. Thanks for sharing and have a great 4th of July .

[@Vapor_Diecast_Racing]

Nice job and congratulations to Marco Polo.

[@schottys-diecast]

Congratulations to Marco Polo! Well deserved win! 🥳 And also a verry good job from all the other drivers! This was a great tournament! We have seen a lot of unusuall things today! I told him not to try to find a shortcut, but he watched to many episodes of the halftimeshows with a certain stuntman 🤪 Thank you to GTR for hosting this event! Now it‘s time to build a soapbox!!!! 🥳

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Congrats on a well built truck! The suspension was tuned just right.

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

Congrats to ALL drivers! What a fun and exciting event! Thanks Mark! 🔥🛞💪🏼

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Thanks, Sean. I am super busy updating my track in preparation for "you know what"

[@JeffreyBarkdull]

Is that why you never answer my calls ​@@gravitythrottleracing?

[@digitalblues01]

Congratulations Marco Polo! An amazing track and series. Ready for the next one.

[@bvian358]

What a final!! Big props to GTR, your content is miles ahead of any other racing channel, and I think that's especially because of the track design! Many iconic sections, room for cars to fully showcase their characteristics and so much action every single race! I really hope other channels will follow the path you guys are carving. The only thing I would change is to award the extra points for mode "skilled" exploits, like best overtakings and drifts, instead of for happening to pass over the train. Can't wait for next season!!

[@JonabiRacing]

Congratulations to MarcoPolo to win this amazing tournament. It was a great and close race, special thanks to GTR for the opportunity and for the great tournament and videos 🎉🎉🎉congratulations again to MarcoPolo. GTR if there is any other tournament I would like to participate, thanks again!

[@The_Jihad_Ahmad]

You put up a great fight still, particularly when the billboard fell on your truck. You shall be greatly respected by all!

[@jaybo_219]

Great racing, great announcing, great track. You guys are awesome! Keep up the great work!

[@FunkhouserDRL]

Congrats to Jonabi and Marco Polo! Can't wait to see them with group one! Amazing production and commentary as always!

[@numbskulldiecastracing]

I've said it before, I'm gonna say it again: Badass good stuff. Nice work, well done, super cool, wicked good, and pure good fun to watch. 🤩😎🍺

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Thanks Numbskull!

[@DanJr007_Collectibles]

Great video my friend 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉🎉 Have a wonderful day 😊😊😊

[@cyranobuckminster1970]

Awesome final! Great racing all!

[@CalixtoErico]

MP was relentless. Well done!

[@TheMunchBoogie]

All the drivers put on a show in the final, this is what we expected to see from the drivers that made it to the final race. HUGE congratulations go to Marco Polo as he takes the top spot in the tournament. Once again (......and I'm going to continue to say this because it's a FACT) HUGE shout out to Gravity Throttle Racing for putting out a great product, there's no other racing channel that can compare to what you have going on!!!!!!!!!

[@MichaelPiz]

Way closer than I thought it would be, especially before halftime. I was sure Johnny Smack had the fastest truck but fastest doesn't automatically mean bestest on a track like this. No surprise that Marco…POLO! took the crown. He pretty much dominated the whole tournament. Another great job by GTR! This and the Marbula 1 series by Jelle's Marble Runs (the 4th of which just ended yesterday with my O'Rangers finishing 3rd in the team standings) are my favorite racing channels on KZbin.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Wow, congrats on your 3rd place finish!

[@Chris_Hood]

"We use spray cans because we're _PROFESSIONALS_ !" Brilliant inside joke for everyone following along on another platform

[@sstdiecastracing2372]

Awesome, soapbox racer here we come.. MARCO...POLO!!!!

[@Zedsta]

Some great racing Awesome season.

[@ARDIECAST]

Great racing and awesome casting.

[@Kastanets_LKR]

Congratulations to the brilliant winner and what can I say about the track, production, voiceover, etc. that hasn't already been said? Spectacular GTR!

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Wow, thank you!

[@ElevationDiecastRacing]

What a finale....congratulations to MarcoPolo for taking the overall win.....gr8 series and gr8 Racing 🏁

[@SnowyShiftRacing]

What an awesome finals!!! Congratulations to Marco Polo🎉🎉🎉

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Hi Damian! Thanks for commenting 🙂

[@SnowyShiftRacing]

It’s a pleasure!!!

[@The_Jihad_Ahmad]

Spectacular racing today Johnny Smack put good effort Schotty did very well, never gave up! Mad respect for Jonabi, amazing truck he built Congratulations to Marco Polo Spectacular racing we saw!

[@richardmorgan9273]

Good close-fought final to finish a great tournament! Marco Polo was both stable and fast, making a deserving champion. As an aside, this track is actually watchable at full speed, while other tracks are just a blur.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Hi Richard. Thanks for commenting. FYI, my races are actually shown at 50% real speed. 3D does the same. Some channels show it faster. When I first started my channel, a few commented that it looked too slow. My first track did not have as steep of grades as this one. Does this clarify somethings, or did I misunderstand?

[@richardmorgan9273]

@@gravitythrottleracing Ah, that's interesting - I assumed you slowed the video down less than 3D and the other channels.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

@richardmorgan9273 Now, one cool thing I managed to do with help from 2 friends is make my timer run at double speed. When you see a 26-second run, it actually took 13 seconds real time.

[@BoloBrown]

Another outstanding video

[@CJ-te2mu]

I knew Marco Polo would pull it out. Great season. Ever since I found your channel, I've been trying to find another track similar to yours. I've found that no one has a track better than yours. I'm planning on doing my own track, and I hope I can do as well as you did.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

I say, Go For It! If you go to my KZbin channel Playlist, you should see a series of build videos from last summer. I think it says Season 3 build. That should give you plenty of insight.

[@alanschechterly245]

This was such a fun tournament. Looking forward to next week's race-off.

[@d0sitmatr]

best DC race Ive seen in a while. every one of those trucks had a chance at the win, very evenly matched.... aside from a couple kerflonkles (100% made up word as I typed 😁) that is.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

kerflonkles - Aaron says he's gonna use that word next week.

[@LiveYoungDieCast]

Respect for all putting up a good fight! 🏁🤘🏼🏁

[@thomasconnolly7452]

Terrific competition!

[@rubevaughn]

Like the game of chicken in the very first race.

[@JunkyardJoust]

What a season. Can't wait for more. You guys are great.

[@JorgeLDiaz]

Wow! What a finale. Great job guys. Congratulations Marco Polo 🇵🇷 Wepa!

[@blackcatpr1970]

Gracias !!!Saludos desde Texas

[@sundayrest22]

I love the Chevy and GMC but I had a feeling Marco Polo would win. Although that Ford was fast! 🎊

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Yep, that 1935 Ford was blazing fast! I think with a little suspension added it would have had the consistency to win.

[@franciscobustamante7902]

Grande Marco Polo, hasta con vuelta al final de la carrera. Buen trabajo muchachos. Saludos desde Chile

[@blackcatpr1970]

Gracias!!! Saludos 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@roadragediecastracing3676]

Congrats to MARCO POLO ! Great racing to all ..

[@kreidas123]

This show, as well as 3DBotMaker, are truly the best racing shows right now. Jelle's Marble Runs, this is what not cheating and maximum entertainment is like!

[@cedricdedo]

there is no point to talk about creepy marble jellecheat ^^ just enjoying this good show of diecast !

[@The_Jihad_Ahmad]

Marco...Polo! Marco...Polo! Marco...Polo!

[@CHOWHOUNDRACINGNDIECAST]

Great racing

[@racerm50]

Jonabi almost pulled a slide job on Marco Polo

[@hilanddoug]

Fantastic finals! Thank you for doing the tie breaker, too. Any excuse for more racing is a good excuse, especially if there's a medal on the line! Looking forward to the next race with the top 4!!

[@manchildmotorsports3531]

Congrats MarcoPolo, great racing

[@darkMatterEnergy]

Keep them coming 💪💪 I been waiting

[@EddieDexterStewart]

11:28 "Oh!" "What's that?" "It looks like the billboard fell on top of Schotty's truck." "OK..." 😂😂😂 I guess Richard said, "They all signed waivers so we're good." 😂😂😂😂

[@nicholasalonzo7824]

Man.... I ain't got no finger nails no more....😢😂🎉

[@gravitythrottleracing]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

[@enzedracing3641]

I was holding my breath in anticipation of Schotty taking out the prize for slowest finish...but alas, he was a few seconds too quick 😂 Great tournament again and i cant wait to see the Soapbox Derby

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Big Mike in his teeny tiny Mini is still the king of slooooowwwww!

[@Chris_Hood]

Just for clarification, I'm asking if the next race with the top two finishers from each Are You _Trucking_ tournament is exhibition only? Nothing but consummate praise for the finals and the event as a whole! A nice touch to have the finish line sign be from The Eh-Team, as Canada Day was yesterday! Always a joy to visit the Shavano Mountain track! 💯😎🏁

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Exhibition or not. Hmm. What do you think, Chris?

[@Chris_Hood]

@@gravitythrottleracing I trust you implicitly in matters of running the show! If the drivers involved are amenable to a Best of the Best race for even more glory, make it so!

[@ciscosebanes]

Best race so far. Hope zoomnami tune up next time.

[@garyyost2012]

1st race would have been closer if joker lane was at least 2 vehicles wide.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Funny thing, it used to narrow before the sharp right. It was revised before Season 4 to narrow after. Looks like it needs to continue to the runway.

[@sstdiecastracing2372]

I can agree with you, but this is the track.

[@EddieDexterStewart]

Has anyone ever considered how INSAINE it is to start a race with jump ACROSS A RIVER?!? Holy Stuntman Sam, Batman!

[@Nowheremt]

Great season. How about some cars next time, instead of trucks?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

I'm tired of trucks, too. So cars you shall see!

[@CyclopsHobbies]

How do I sign up for season 6

[@gravitythrottleracing]

I post my races in Redlinederby.com. I have a couple of small tournaments this summer. The big one will be the 2023 GTR Open which will happen in the fall. I suggest becoming a member on the GTR Facebook page. I will give an early heads-up there. Thanks, Mark H.

[@CyclopsHobbies]

@@gravitythrottleracing thanks that helped

[@edugj23]

Different strategies leading to a close final, always nice to see.

[@zeldadiecastracing]

Lets gooo lets racee bro

[@blackcatpr1970]

First I want to thanks God who makes all things possible.. GTR for the opportunity to race at this wonderful track ...to the racers/ builders for being so competitive in this tournament ... al want to congratulate GTR on his win at The Bootleggers Run at Old Yadkin Valley Speedway and for as always delivering Top Premium content on his series ...again thanks to you all and we'll se you next week...

MARCO POLO

[@WdyWP]

I am thinking I have some old MatchBox cars in the garage. Are there 'stock' car races?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Im afraid stock weight cars wont consistently finish. The ideal weight on my track is 55 to 60 grams.

[@WdyWP]

@@gravitythrottleracing Thanks!! I'll dig around through Redline and think about modifying one. I thoroughly enjoy y'all's videos

[@FORMULA_Diecast]

Whoa, what surface are you using that the cars slide so easily on without needing to carry huge speed?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

It's called Coroplast (plastic cardboard)

[@FORMULA_Diecast]

@@gravitythrottleracing Right, but then you’ve sprayed something onto it to make it look like real dirt. Is it airbrushed, or is that some kind of fancy plastic paint offered by duplicolor or something?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

@@FORMULA_Diecast Yes, I sprayed it with tan enamel paint, then brushed acrylic paint colors to give it a redish "stirred up dirt" look, then I sprayed a matte clear coat on top to recover the slick finish. It recovers about 90% of the slickness, if that makes sense.

[@FORMULA_Diecast]

@@gravitythrottleracing that’s so cool and creative!!! Looking forward to more videos!

[@gravitythrottleracing]

@FORMULA_Diecast Thank you. I'm hoping to have Clone Wars, episode 1 this coming Wednesday night.

[@yindyamarra]

Marco……. Polo

[@daprovocateur]

In future seasons, can you put the drivers’ names when you show the points and standings? It’s hard to keep their names straight and it would be a nice reminder.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Great suggestion!! I will do that... now, where's my notepad?

[@ameliachannel6809]

very interesting video

[@saturn7_dev]

Very cool. When your showing the scores at the end be better if you could grab and drop to the top animated such that the new top score goes to the top and lower ranks fall to the bottom in an animated way...would be cool to see that. Also I found it too hard to monitor who is who so better to call out each car via a unique color to make it obvious like black momba, orange juice, red wrecker etc etc..

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@sstdiecastracing2372]

Looks like I need to order some 1/64 scale people. Any suggestions? Amazon shows 1/100 scale people. I need 1/64 scale people as this Half Time show is making me laugh already and I have "Clean" ideas. I only need like 4 little people. Thanks all. I love the entire race but Half time...hee hee hee, love that also.

[@xWORLDxCHAMPIONx]

Announcers remind me of MXC lmao

[@paganajonas604]

green pick up is ever given.

[@michealcollins4247]

I felt like Jonabi had a Bad Cylinder after the First Race😮😊

[@gbaker9295]

A good drift is sort of subjective and adds arbitrary points. Why not add a point if a car flips or deduct if it crosses the finish in reverse?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

I agree. The best performing drift is subjective. That's why we have multiple judges... up to 5 sometimes.

[@alaeriia01]

I miss the train jump.

[@SunSungBeat]

try to put weight ~66%-front and ~34%-rear

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Any weight distribution further forward than about 55%/45% front-to-rear results in too much under drifting on the pad.
