Mid Ohio Shifter Final 1 2024

[@jimbinoakharbor7493]

I raced karts in Alaska (70's-80's) with a bunch of friends, in a hugh high school parking lot. I thought we were pretty fast with our single one-speed Macs. However, not nearly this fast. But still a lot of fun with some real nice guys. Great video. Thanks a bunch!

[@alexwatzke288]

In the draft I hit 119mph during the weekend. Not bad for 125cc!!

[@modelcitizen1977]

​@@alexwatzke288An off at those speeds would be .....ill advised.

[@ColinKarvinen]

Dude was throwing bananas 😂

[@soular420]

This looks extremely fun. Awesome!

[@joeyd3324]

Beautiful Video, looks like a perfect day for Racing...

[@philippointer]

Amazing how much time you make up entering the key hole.

[@jpbonadonna1977]

This is higher stakes than open wheel... it's open body!!! Dive-bombed the 88, but it had to be done with the lead pack disappearing.

[@randalljames1]

Looks like a ton of fun.. I have a good amount of laps on an R1 there, but the carts look like a blast...

[@alexwatzke288]

Definitely a great time in a kart!

[@TGfixesall]

This was awesome! As a former state and national champion (in the 90s) I friggin love the way this guy drives. He was the fastest driver on that track (easily seen in that chicane) and would have run off with it given better equipment. Probably would still have won if he didn't get fucked on the start and by the backmarker at 12:00

[@alexwatzke288]

Thank you! Tough race!

[@VinciLoSqualo]

good stuff mate... may i ask you how often do you change the piston on the engine becouse i think those straights really kill the engine and what speed do you reach at the end of the straight thanks👊

[@alexwatzke288]

Piston every 3-4 hours. Around 118mph top speed.

[@K1Racer.]

Whats the valve on the steering wheel ?? And will give you a call sometime...

[@alexwatzke288]

That is a fuel return line to the tank and it’s set up with a valve so you can adjust fuel pressure to the carburetor, depending on if you want to run leaner or richer.

[@maxpirolo1861]

what was your fastest lap???

[@alexwatzke288]

1:29.9

[@hockeyplayersnetwork3307]

Anybody have info for this event in 2025?

[@alexwatzke288]

It’s Father’s Day weekend Friday-Sunday

[@NawnyaBusinaz]

They allow boost?!

[@alexwatzke288]

I wish lol!

[@thinukawijerathne]

This track is so big

[@tracysimmons41]

What place was that battle over?

[@alexwatzke288]

Towards the end of the race P6

[@TDHobbies]

I’m at work watching yelling and screaming at my PC. Tech at a dealership, so no one cares, but anyway that was some great driving. Next time I’m going to watch in person.

[@alexwatzke288]

That’s awesome!

[@markb5441]

Looks like one guy threw something over his shoulder at you. Was it a banana peel?
