New Year, New Look / Big 10 Go Kart Series Event 1

[@travissmith4739]

Getting your tires right is 90% of karting. stay with it, love the coverage brings back great memories.

[@fyingace14]

I raced go karts for about 15 years all over the southeast and that track with all those tires laying around looks like the most dangerous place I’ve seen.

[@Skybolt211]

Hang in there, Joshua! Raced for quite a few years and things can go super smoothly for a while and then the wheels fall off... you just have to put them back on and keep going! It's all part of the experience... keep learning and enjoy the journey!

[@matthewlundrideordie8151]

Head up !!! Takes time to learn. A bad day of racin is better than ......anything !

[@MichaelWilliams-kq1lv]

I feel your pain. We towed our drag car 5.5 hours only to drop a valve and blow the engine unloading it off the trailer. Never turned a tire. Its racing character building. You will forget all of this when you win one. Stay at it!

[@Joiner1056]

Michael Williams Thanks for the positive vibes and thanks for watching 👍

[@marlinmotorsports2130]

Keep Diggin brother! I very rarely run a chain guide, but we always have them in the trailer if we go to a track somewhere that’s rough we put them on. All in all, “that’s racing”. Seat time is working your line looks good, you have great help and good equipment don’t stop now! It’s all about the tires and prep brother, study what works and what don’t, ask around too there are some racers willing to help with the prep. Just keep working. God bless!

[@OldGrumpsGarage]

Joshua don't let it get you down. Ya'll keep working. Persevere and overcome. It's always darkest before the dawn. Stay with it. Everytime you move up a division, it gets harder. But when you become competitive in that division the victories are very sweet.

[@nashguy207]

Sorry for the bad luck. Don't give up. Keep the faith you'll get there do they ever have any practice days at that track? I think you just need to go do some practice and testing trying different things to get comfortable in the seat. Have a great week. God Bless!!!

[@ajaye7120]

We need more episodes of the go kart racing hunt the front is my favorite KZbin channel 🏁

[@bryantchapman7503]

Please stick with it I really enjoyed the go-kart segment used to race as a kid really wish I could get back into it your luck will change around God bless

[@jessesouth447]

Used to race karts all the time. Tires, tires, tires. They’re key. Have seen over 2 second change just by bolting a different set of tires on a kart. Really like the channel don’t give up. Kart racing is fun but can be hard to get them right and it’s always changing. Good luck and God Bless you guys.

Well don’t get down it’s nothing Your doing , it’s the racing gremlins! Hang in there things will get better , always the first night never hoes well . Get your groove and HUNT THE FRONT!!

[@nglent51]

12:20am is nothing. Back when I used to race karts i remember getting on the grid, about to go out for our feature at 4 am, left the track around sunrise. Half of the karts in my class were pushed back to their pits because the other kids fell asleep, lol.

[@Joiner1056]

Nick Lent Not sure I could hang that late lol... It was hard enough making it to midnight!

Just because there cheaper, doesnt mean there less competitive.... keep your head up, get more laps and some more videos! Cant wait for the next one,

[@ml2trick]

Good Video. I raced carts for years in Wisconsin. I never left off the gas. Just used brakes and you are entering low in the corners. Carry speed and momentum.

Man that bites. I would check around the motor mounts just be safe, that track was brutal. I did notice you were looking more comfortable with the cart as the night went on. Looks ya might need to add a tooth or two or maybe work on the clutch. IDK. I'm not a racer, but seemed like it's boggin just a little bit. Hope Mr. Dave made it home alright. Hang in there, racin gremlins. It'll turn around. God bless yall.

[@charlesaguilar1708]

THANKS for the Video! I raced go-karts for 14 years and it was mostly on asphalt tracks! btwn 1983 to 1996. I would like to know more about your set-up plus a lot of questions on gearing,tires,etc.

[@AfterLyfeGaming]

Lee Capps is the best hands down!!! i raced his motors for YEARSSSSSS!

[@MidpackMania]

Same exact thing happened in my second to last video. The most frustrating thing after all the work you put in just to have it end that way. Those turns are so rough it’s insane.

[@billyholcomb1711]

Chin up. !!! Things will finally come to you... Been a long time since I raced a cart. I'm searching my mind trying to remember what I would do if I was in your case..... Seems like your going into the corners ok but there pulling you coming out of the corner. I don't know. Can you modify the motors? Well keep on keeping on. Have a great day. I'm enjoying the videos.

@@Joiner1056 no problem man love the vids I used to race Sr champ back in the day loved kart racing!

[@Mitch7179]

When it's cold out and the track is low bite you need to be putting heat to the tires and prepping them. As far as the chain goes, once they jump off once usually they're junk afterwards and never stay on right.

[@trentonmiller8255]

Stay positive bub your get the hang of it just remember to go out there and have fun

[@brandystevenfield5070]

Are you prepping your tires

[@marshalllaw2865]

Keep trying you'll get faster.. looks like neck problems from my house lol. Myrtle beach track got my head/neck back in the early 90s.. stay safe, run hard, be smart young man

[@kennyvelez8060]

This happens, look at it as a learning experience and not a soul searching experience, keep your chin up remember your a newbie and not only are you learning how to drive the kart your learning how to drive the track too, if you doubt you you'll never do good, don't force the issues, let it come to you naturally, don't over drive the kart or the track, don't try to win first time out, just work on the start & finnish of the race, that track was junk they need to prep the track better than that (or prep it periodically throughout the nite), you may want to consider running a track closer to where Mr. Dave lives, one week race here one week race there just to see if it's the track or experience, you never know till you try it, you may do great at another track, one more to your natural driving skills, your a Joiner we know you got driving skills, it runs in the family,,, love the new look It looks great,

[@szekelyable]

Drive sprocket and axle sprocket are out of line. That chain guard would of held the chain on otherwise. Can’t blame the track cause nobody else had a chain pop off. Keep digging! Try Original speedway park in fruit land park, I think you would love it. Better track to learn on.

[@70motorsports_]

Dude... it happens stay with it I’m off to the same start.. blew two motors in New Year’s Day race... keep hunting that front

[@scottdickinson613]

Tough night? If it weren’t for bad luck you’d have no luck at all! Keep your chin up. When you start at the bottom the only way to go is up.

[@oikkuoek]

When running that radical rear gear/tyre combination, you'll need equally radical chain guide. Something that wraps the lower part of the chain up until 9 o'klock. Also, when driving in mud, higher/slower gear ratio gives more traction and smoother torque. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but it's always racing and that's better than most things.

[@mugrootersroadhouse8977]

Hang in there Joshua. Remember, THE DARKEST HOUR IS JUST BEFORE THE DAWN ...

[@markgilbertson4917]

Find a high banked 1/8th mile asphalt oval and have fun.

[@DarrellJames17]

I think Jonathan or Joesph needs to come an run the kart one time.

[@lburke425]

Darrell James second this

[@Skybolt211]

I raced karts and then moved to full size cars... and running karts is harder in a lot of ways. Everything happens very fast... set-ups are so important on karts because you can't overcome it with power.. tiny changes make a huge difference.. etc. so I bet Joshua would still better than them in the kart!! When I moved from karts into a street stock, things felt like they were happening in slo-mo. LOL

[@cliftonshomeimprovements7971]

Joseph is a driving fool

[@andytyre1161]

Hang in there bud! You'll get it!!!

[@ronaldklose7392]

Chain is an alignment issue. Put square across gears to check. Handling is usually a bind in chassis. Shock, heir end, bearing, anything that moves or rotates. Gotta check every thing individually to find it. Don't ask me how I know! lol

[@mitchellsmith9289]

You guys will figure it out, keep working!

[@beststuff12]

Tighten the chain up by either bigger gear on the axle or slide the motor forward

[@SteveC-cs6ec]

Looks like they pull you down the straightaway, gear it for the turns and it will keep up with them down the straights.

[@Michaljordan1]

Been there done that! But my son loved it

[@chuckratcliff2429]

I wish I had a Dave when I was kart racing!!

[@sunshineslade601]

That's how it goes you just got to hang in there it seems like you got a flex in your chassis when you hit the bumps that means something broke loose somewhere mr. Dave needs to go through that chassis especially around the motor brackets

[@justinm1150]

dam that sucks for you keep working and you will be up front

[@Shadygradysoutdooradvanture]

Your not torching the tires after prep ?

[@zachamilton23]

Try scooting your left rear hub in or go with a softer left rear

[@MudSlinger29j]

In my opinion being an ex kart racer you need to slow your corner entry down and try to keep it as close to the cones as possible.

[@frankdanfelt7059]

Hey, Happy New Year...Just a suggestion. As a "old time Karter" from the 70's, I noticed that you had weights bolted underneath, and on the back of your seat. From having done that, I can tell you that it places a strain on your seat, and it can crack. My suggestion would be to take all your extra weights, and melt them down, and shape it to your seat. It will work better for you and help center the weight of the kart. Good luck.

[@jeremydavis5915]

I was having that issue when I got my kart. Found the bottom bracket for motor mount had been over tightened over time and wasn't straight and would loosen up.

[@mft2323]

don't get down when i first started my first 3 weeks were terrible, messed up engine the first race, had i guy tear off my carb and exhaust pipe the second, and was landed on my 3rd,but it got better it took me about 2 years before i started smoking everybodys butt and be consistant, of course, i built my own engines, trial and error, but i got good at that too, so keep diggin you'll get there good luck

[@mr67barracuda31]

==Thank about it, you can only go up from here hang in there brother==

[@hookcaptain3633]

You’re getting into the corner to low which is causing you to wash up getting off.

[@Synic08]

If you kart you know you gotta stay low, for a normal day, that line might work, but i agree, with the slick, getting a little wide would help

[@gunnartrenaryhaha]

Synic08 in karting your line doesn’t change based on track conditions. Use of throttle and breaking and kart setup/tires are what change . When he got passed the guy in front of him ran just as wide if not wider thanhim before he passed him he just carried a lot more speed through the corner.

[@alexbrems1151]

In karting it’s more about tires and chassis setup he was driving it in a little to deep in the corner yea it’s a big track so you have to stay in the gas more when I race I get told slow is fast he’s doing a good job hanging with them boys down there that’s some tuff competition he’ll get better just takes seat time ..

[@gunnartrenaryhaha]

Alex Brems where do you race at?

[@CensoredFreedom615]

If you're loose, you can take a little weight off the front and put it back. If you cam move your seat back a small fraction, it makes a big change in handling

[@stephenasmith1591]

You need to stay wide and come down 👇 INTO the corners. The straighter the faster! Are there any tracks close to you that you can go practice on any day of the week?

[@Joiner1056]

Stephen A Smith There’s an asphalt track that’s open for testing all the time, but I’m not sure if that would help me on dirt 🤷‍♂️

[@tomsherwood1819]

I raced karts on asphalt I'm not a dirt expert put when it comes to karts I'm sure you use the same lines..I would assume you would back up the corner alittle more on dirt..diamining the corner is where u get momentum..but I know you naturally wanna protect the inside..just remember they have to have a wheel at your back wheel before you have to give up your line it's there job to get it from you..keep your head up seat time is everything.. p.s I wish they would move those tires in then maybe people wouldn't have to be so ruff to gain a spot..

[@stephenasmith1591]

@@Joiner1056 yes im not sure that would help much. But you are doing great for someone new, get seat time and work on your line. The less turning you have to do you faster you will be. I believe Mr. Dave is more than capable of getting you the right set up, good luck and don't give up bud you got this!!

[@cliftonshomeimprovements7971]

The tracks went like that you didn't take some air out of your right front

[@joshking686]

Just a little advice, when you go into the corner and the kart feels like it’s gonna break loose burp the throttle and then get back on it. It will make your time a little quicker than just driving it in and getting loose then bogging the engine. But you are doing very well

[@BrianBeamers]

Fts 10oz of FTS black bite(grip), 2-4ozs of TracTac BTGP(softens), 4oz. Of Hotlap 2(to fire the tires off), mixed with 4oz. Of akrysol.. wipe the tires 3 times on Monday, again on Tuesday, and 2 coats on Wednesday night. Then use on race night applying just a coat with time to flash. Just before you go out. Then read tire to see if it's bitting or if they a slipping (shinny looking)
