Our Go Kart Racer Got Back on the Track in a New Kart

[@travishanner9970]

Good job, Joshua. The track will get smoother. Our grater has been broke down, and we just got it running Friday night. David Hicken (owner of Callahan Speedway) will be working on the track all week, and the ripples will be mostly taken care of. I'm the flagman at Callahan, and we really appreciate you racing with us, and showing everybody the world of Kart racing in general, and Callahan Speedway. Good luck to you and the rest of the team!!

[@Joiner1056]

Travis Hanner After watching the video again, I realize I was complaining more than I meant to about the track. I don’t think it was that bad. I’m just used to the nice soft ride in a race car with suspension! 😂 Thanks for watching. Hope to meet you at the track soon!

[@anthonycope8637]

@@Joiner1056 you are driving it like a stock car too. Kart sounds way to bogged on exit and like you never really got into the upper end of the rpm range a rear gear change at least for that second heat would have given you some notes to work with. Try to pin point the catch of the clutch rpm you might be able to put lighter weights in the clutch to give you a couple hundred more rpm before it grabs

[@doon714]

Great Job Joshua!!!! And thank you for another uplifting video, The world need's a lot more people like you and your family, The world would be a much better place.

[@lynnmoore2664]

Joshua is going to do great after he gets some more seat time. Really enjoy watching all 3 of you guys rscing and wish all of you the best. Next up Joseph & oh how I wish I could be in Georgia to watch Joseph race.

[@pops8623]

Love that channel fellas. Love to see family work together. Just do me one favor. Dont take these days for granted y'all. Enjoy and keep on making memories together

[@karljacobson1575]

Good job Joshua!!! Keep a hammering at it!!!

[@jeremycolston8383]

Good job Josh. That's was good for your first run in that cart, and only 2nd run overall. You'll get the hang of it. And Mr Dave will help you get it right. I must just be weird, I love ALL kinds of racing. God bless y'all

[@nashguy207]

For your first time out in a new cart with only one other race under your belt you did great. As you said all you need is some seat time it is a lot different than what you are used to, Looking forward to seeing more of you racing the kart. Have a great week!!!

[@cono88]

I met you guys at street stock nationals you guys are so down to earth and you let me eat cake with you guys for that one persons birthday. Love you guys

[@thowell2989]

I really enjoy all your videos. I have seen them all. I am a sprint car guy but I have enjoyed watching your late model and kart racing a lot! Good luck this weekend.

[@kevinking7321]

WOOT!! looks like fun ...... Josh its all about seat time...... looking forward to more vids

[@TheOwnage20]

MVP Mr.Dave

[@marlinmotorsports2130]

Good job man! You have a great family, great help from Mr Dave and all of KZbin for advice! Seat time is key!! Everything else will fall in place! Great Channel Good luck!

[@juniorharmon325]

Im a kart racer myself and i want to say good job but I feel like if you use some millenium tire prep or "black bite" tire prep and work the tires through out the week your tires are going to be 2 times better and make you go alot faster in the straight aways and the turns but if you dont Like either one of those preps try and find a good popular prep that most people think works good. Also its good to have several sets of tires bc when you run one tire the prep gets burnt out of it and wont run as good for the feature but when you get home and get your tires clean You can work the tires and they will be like they were when you ran them the last time. Keep up the good work man !

[@jeremiahpruitt5535]

Way to go Joshua. I just got my old go kart up and running, has the 212 predator. Hope to work on it all winter and get it ready to race in the spring. Thanks for the hats y'all I love them!

[@joshdickens3974]

Good job Joshua you are getting better new racing go karts you will win very soon and I will hope to be watching the on this channel when you get that win and it will be awesome

[@staceybowen8129]

Once again great video ! Joshua great job on the first time in that new cart !! Hip e you down to Georgia and kick some butt !! Be safe and can’t wait till the weekend!!

[@gjspts]

Joshua, Keep digging brother!! You have come so far in such a short time. Mr Dave is such an awesome crew chief with a world of knowledge. Keep up the good work brother!!

[@justinm1150]

AWESOME good job get better more you run

[@MrJbinchrist]

Great video! I'm glad to hear that y'all are heading to Senoia for the Billy Clanton Memorial race. I will be there watching brother. I pray you all have a safe trip over and a great time racing too. GOD bless!!! James

[@mississippifisherman9204]

Really enjoying the dirt go cart racing videos Joshua. man keep it up man looking better every time I watch you. This bring back memories when I used to help my cousin run his racing go carts. Ik when we raced back then we ran flatheads instead of the clone motors. I do miss those days it took us about five years to really start figure out the tires and tire prep we always used goat pea here in north Mississippi but man good luck at ur next race brother .

[@chevy358ci]

Good job Josh. Kart looks to tight on entry. Free it up a bit and you will have a better exit.

[@bjwoolbright7708]

Thanks for the update on the crate late and super late models. Also not a bad first night in the new cart. "THE OTHER BROTHER" seems to be getting his racing legs back under him.

[@THEADAMBDYER]

Go karts are so fun but can be frustrating at the same time. Just because how sensitive they are with gearing and tires. You can have all the motor in the world but that means nothing if you don’t have the tires to back it up. Good job in your race! Been watching a lot of the videos love them! I like getting to see a POV of both latemodel racing and then go kart racing.

[@cassiusdante2216]

Great job Joshua! Your Kart looked a little tight in the corner

[@marshalllaw2865]

Hey hey Joshua.. stand on it and drive straight, To the front. Keep on HTF

[@mikehornsby599]

Great job enjoyed that!!!! Love the go cart

[@michaelmcclure9160]

Joshua should see if that track has open practice during the week. Got to practice, 1st & MOST important. Got to learn his motor & kart, being fast & smooth through the turns is KEY. Throttle control is key to being upfront. You can usegad & brake at same time , the less u let out cornering, faster ya gonna be. Also, gotta learn the track, different lines that are fast at different times. Go higher on the straight aways & drop low through turns. Can also watch ur class videos on KZbin, pay attention to the style of thebguys upfront. Gotta practice more than twice a month if you ever wanna race with those guys.

[@danielthebigo7615]

Good job racing. Your kart is fast enough for sure by how fast you can catch back up. I personally think you just need more wheel time and you will get better just like you said.

[@kennethsmith8968]

congrats on the new cart josh.things will only get better

[@johnhall3860]

Joshua hang in there bud it just takes a little seat time to figure it out. You are blessed to have found Mr. Dave he is going to make a big difference in your rate of improvement. Good luck bud stay safe and have fun.

[@sterlingplace5443]

Sweet video keep them coming 🙏

[@randygaskin2057]

Love your videos. So good to see the Christian side of dirt tract racing without the cussing. I admire you and your family for showing the world that Jesus is the Lord.

[@elitegb7206]

Joshua yes sir you'll get in a groove...your timing on restarts will Defenitly get better!! Seat time is important. Enjoyed it joiners!!!!!

[@mattbennett8055]

As a kart racer. Your doing really good buddy! Keep up the good work. Remember as the track comes in more,your gearing can change also. Plus air pressure, find you a good tire prep system that works for you. You may have to move a washer or 2 at the track. Another is,try moving the left rear hub. May have to move it in,or out by a 1/4 inch. Mostly is remember, to have fun! Enjoy yalls videos.

[@jimmyolden1609]

Nice racing Josh... there’s an OCKS race up here every August it paid $9000 to win this year may be something to look into. Keep the awesome videos coming!

[@Michaljordan1]

I raced a kart at 50 years old!! I loved it

[@jwilkes2937]

I believe we will be making a trip to senoia Saturday to watch y'all race.

[@jsetser001]

Makes me wanna get back into Karting so bad. last time I raced Karts the Briggs Raptor 3 block came out. looks like flat head motors are a thing of the past.

[@timburnell8273]

Overall it was an awesome night you got seat time witch everyone needs and you got to race with a great bunch of people I got to tell ya them ladies and gentlemen are not afraid to mix it up with ya they will move you out of the way god bless too ya all

[@shawnenglishracing]

Good job. At Florida Dirt Motor Speedway in florida (aka Dirt Devil's) they have a crate class which is where everyone is on the same motor and you buy it straight from the track for $250. They get around 15-20 people so there is some very good racing. I would love to see y'all come out there.

[@danielpassmore5026]

Love the carting episodes.

[@prestonwescoat]

Just have fun

[@scottdickinson613]

Good job Joshua you’ll get used to the kart. As long as you’re having fun that’s what matters.

[@presgraves44]

Love you guys. God Bless

[@larryb5260]

See y’all on the next video! Good luck on the 5th brother!

[@bulistabs]

Pushin hard bud gl next race.

[@jmarion750]

Sounds like it could have used a little bit more gear

[@zackaryneeley4591]

What i use on my tires is a inside prep called radical red on the outside during the week and than we wrap em and on race day we use black bite for race prep don't prep for practice

[@deanwing1]

hey jj, you got a workin on cart, looks like ur movin up in the cart world

[@oldNastyRacing]

Great job Josh sounds like it was struggles at the hit of the throttle a bit

[@jmarion750]

Love the go-karts brings back a lot of memories may just have to go get one to play with

[@michaelmcclure9160]

My apologies for the previous long comment. Good job for first time out. Gotta PRACTICE bro, kart racing is a different animal. That's the only way you gonna actually compete with them boys. Tracks usually have a certain day during the week for open practice. We used to rent the track for an hour or however long & just turn laps. Lastly, dont be scared of that thing bro, looked like you maybe were going half throttle. Cant be scared of it or to spin. Good luck dude. I'll be watching in future

[@jigginwithjeff3050]

Pretty good driving and it will get better

[@anefi-uq5fd]

Great

[@lkhracing63]

I've been racing go karts at Oak Grove Motorsports park. I have 3 wins and one second place in the past 4 races. It's a great track. It's in Okaloosa county in Northwestern Florida. I don't know how close y'all are to that track. But it's a quarter mile track that is usually flat footed. Just thought I'd throw it out there for you to see!

[@jaywalker2213]

Wooo he's getting it ... might see what mods he can do maybe ah pipe ..FMF pipe is cheaper but good for couple extra hp, works on dirt bikes..

[@quest2outdoors]

First time out with it going to take a little bit to get used to Lord willing he'll be in the front soon enjoyed the video hope you and your family have an awesome day :-) peace

[@johnnyluck8102]

Keep diggin

[@andyb9767]

Love this channel !!!!

[@austinyoung9662]

Tire prep/stagger/ changing the gear will help a lot And enter higher then cut the corner to hold more speed

[@mustangford7868]

date coeds on tires is the trick to speed and knowing tire chemicals some weeks u need older tires some tracks u need new tires all depends on the dirt good luck

[@tylercarlbertvlogsandgames3813]

Hey joshua going into the corner go up higher and then cut down that will help you gain speed

[@colinwhite8208]

27 is my lucky number great job on the race

[@EagleRun23]

that Dave is a heck of a dude.

[@CORNDODGER]

No Suit really got to be good for 3 lbs Looks like you need to DIAMOND some of the truns so you wont need to let off its all about the big MO

[@tomr8638]

Good job Joshua, until you get a really good feel for the kart try foo,g in a little easier & up a half lane. That way you can get back into the gas sooner and get get a better feel for the kart

[@BeselerSimRacing]

You need some cheeseburgers and cheese curds! Great video!

[@michaeldunsmore447]

That number 8 at the beginning is my cousin Greg Eunice, but I run Callahan too they run dirt bikes on it and it ruins the track plus it’s a rlly sandy track and a lot of bumps turn one and two is shorter than three and four an alright track just tough to get around, try Nashville Georgia or jasper Florida

[@justinmauney2203]

Hey if you want to have alot of fun January 31st and February 1st and 2nd in Martin Tn there is a race called King of Kings it's a all weekend thing and all proceeds go to building schools on mission trips. It's a bit of a drive but it's well worth it. But hey getting better and that's all that matters.

[@braydenupshaw7716]

Hey josh just a little tip don’t be scared to use that bumper stick that nose in there and pass that’s the only way you can get anywhere what rpms are you running

[@cj7778]

Also put tape on the bottom front of the front bumper because if you hit something hard it won’t crack and will save you money, trust me on this where I race everyone has it

[@cj7778]

Duck tape

[@brodygraham95]

If you don't mind me asking what sprocket size you got on the kart? I run outlaw and mod stock I usually have a 72 or a 74 sprocket. In between races try changing the sprocket looks like your having trouble coming out of the corners usually a 72 or a 74 will help with take off and coming out of the corners from my experience.

[@whoknows3347]

Love karts

[@DustinDegler]

Coming off the turns just a little low bring that line up an will be golden. An a little more aggressive on the tire prep since that track looks slick. #kartlife

[@54raceman]

Dang the ole’ boy in the black kart with orange helmet in first heat was loose

[@thatkidjacson5133]

Good job dude but you gotta go higher in the turns I race karts I know karts are all about Momentum and if you loose it by sliding just a little bit it makes a huge difference in lap time and how close you are to passing

[@Stopelectriccars]

What a coincidence.. I have the number 27

[@karrhamblin5057]

Make sure you change valve springs out often

[@rodconner9079]

Nice job Joshua- excellent!!! --- New car, different feel and ya still done well. Upgrades... seems to be the name of the game. Still, even with carts --- exciting! Ya might hafta find ya a cushion to pad the bottom/lower back a bit; find ya some comfort. Success is just around the corner my friend (I can see it). That carting looks fun as ____!!! An adrenaline rush for sure! Now I was looking forward to the 56 showing up in a vid but that's OK. I understand wanting to race --- because there is a race! ....... But since ya chose to run for points, you made the smart decision and kept it at home (we can't always do the smart thing, right? LOL). Get that thing lubed, checked and re-scaled ... if I were just a few miles closer, I'd come and help (I-81 WV, between Winchester VA and Hagerstown MD) LOL.

[@pryce0312]

Try trail breaking and not letting out so much will keep your rpms up

[@kyleclancy8286]

Well done josh October the 5th is my birthday hope you win

[@mieeroo]

First from South Africa✋✋

Are you guys still in the need for a kart stand? We finally have them in stock.

Always enjoy the videos. Will you guys be going to Charlotte this November for the WOO Championships?

[@douglasromero955]

You need some pit skylights from Stone motorsports

[@nglent51]

I use to have a prowler, one of my favorites chassis

[@kolbymeyer27]

I would say I agree but right now Charger is better for me. It is just an oppinion

[@trevonthomas6740]

yeah like they said and also u could prolly use some tire prep

[@kolbymeyer27]

Your brother told us at the track you were going to send him some stickers for us.

[@Hapshaw]

Man your bro needs to break out into his own channel just for the kart experience. I want that

[@mustangford7868]

prep inside those tires will go long way in grip about 100 cc

[@Butlerjacob101]

what year chassis is it, looks like a 2014, i race a prowler and may be able to help with setup some

Hey y’all need to bring the new capital car to Whynot for the fall classic If Joseph likes it in the street car he will surely like it in the late model

[@7cperformance314]

Sounds like it might like a little more gear

[@Justaintthere]

play with cross to free it up a little on entry so you can have more of a run on exit.

Tell Joshua to take it to the Marion county speedway right down the road from BRP in Ocala

It's all in the tires...... Just out of curiosity, what was y'alls max rpm?
