Good race Alex, I had a hard time trying to hold 1st, couldn't break mutch with everyone on my back most of the race.

Good racing man, it's crazy how much of a difference karts are in every location. Just from watching these races you can just tell and see that certain karts are just monsters on the straights and others literally cannot turn left/right. I used to work at K1 speed in Cali for years and years and certain karts are possible track record holders and others are barely drivable. I give you credit that you don't complain when you get crappy karts during qualifiers, lol I for sure was not as happy and calm/collected as you are. Wondering what the overall track record is here and what's your current best time? Good luck in December.

Yeah the karts could definitely be worked on to be closer in pace, but everyone is in the same boat. The only things that will really bother me are when someone else gets a much better time in the same kart, and dirty tactics in a position race. Even with new tires being put on every kart a few months ago, by now there's over a second per lap difference between the worst kart to the best kart at K1. There are some batteries in these karts that have 100% power for a few laps, then lose some top-end power and become half a second slower per lap. The track record is either 18.90 or a high 18.8, as I know there's about a dozen people that have gotten an 18s hotlap. My personal best is an 18.927 during qualifying in August (which I recorded and is on the channel so check it out *wink* )

Current track record is 18.765 I believe

Awesome double overtake there, looked like that replacement kart really came alive! Also loved the bump followed by "go get em, boi" as well as the glove chuck.

Fun fact: the replacement kart in the final race for November was the same one I qualified at 2nd (19.281) in December!
