Shifter Kart Racing on the Streets of Lancaster 2015

Shifter kart racing is a blast, shifter kart racing on the Streets of Lancaster is absolutely incredible. 2015 was my first time out to the Street of Lancaster event hosted by SKUSA and admittingly it did not go perfect for me but this kart race was not only a highlight for the weekend it was a highlight for my entire karting career so far. Big thanks again to ekartingnews.com for the broadcast, Streets of Lancaster for such a great venue and Superkarts! USA for putting on great events time after time.

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Matt Kenny cheers man thanks that is the gameplan

[@WillSalisbury]

Another great video Matt! Great run, for the first time in a street race that was excellent. at no point did you seem to drive over the edge, very smooth and consistent!

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Will Salisbury thank you sir. I am still 1.5 seconds off the S1 guy though which blow my mind. I am 30lb more then them but that is not worth much

[@KonstantinosGionakis]

Keep it up Matt.I wish i was there racing too!

[@karter111]

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

[@SW_Racing]

[@voodoobluetaco]

Pretty awesome dude. been to it for a few years when visiting old hometown.

[@ricksilva6480]

Nice drive, bro!

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

cheers thanks

[@macdonmt]

Really nice and fun stuff. That looks like a solid event, but super bumpy, yeah?

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Mark MacDonald yes but after a few session you new where the big bumps were and adapted to them

[@acracing7200]

Hi man，I’m from shanghai China ，I have a cr125 kart，could you tell me what number gear you set？THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

[@allanschoonmaker9822]

I have a question are u related to the O'Donnell family from Hamden Connecticut. Did u ever live in Wallingford Connecticut.

[@SASraceCAM]

good race

[@MrJohnManiac]

awesome video! You looked very quick, one more lap and you would get those two in front of you. Keep it up

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+MrJohnManiac yes I believe so but it is a lot easier said then down

[@anorwayer97]

That was freaking AWESOME! Superb drive! I'm betting you invest a lot of money into equipment, because your engine really runs smooth as well

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+anorwayer97 thanks man glad you liked the video. I wish I had more money to invest but to be honest I am on the low scale as far as how much money I put into it. We sleep out of our jeep most events

[@anorwayer97]

True Racer I feel ya! Don't have much money to fund my racing either. Have an old 2011 Rotax which goes like hell in corners but I have no straight line speed

[@topshelffpv9443]

Hey truce racer im looking to get into kart racing myself but dont know much about what kind of kart of where to go race around WA. If you could give me any info to get my started in what looks like an awesome hobby!

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Bearablecho hey man thanks for the Question first thing I would say is do a quick google search of your local track and see what kind of club racing and classes they have/run. I would recommend looking into the class that has the most drivers as it will be the most enjoyable and easiest to find parts/karts for.

[@raitor]

nice clean run bro, just 1 more lap and u had made it 5, maybe 4th ;)

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+raitor yes I agree but maybe next time

[@hansolo1935]

Early breaking on the corners.

[@JoseanIbiza23]

Awesome!

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Josean_Ibiza thanks man

[@paps55]

Nice Race GG

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+paps 55 thanks glad you enjoyed it

[@Mr009mm]

that would be so fun

[@gunguytx]

How many cc is that shifter kart that your are in?

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

It is the CR125 Honda motor

[@TAGjuniorkid]

man its weird to see a kart race with this many views and likes

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+TAGjuniorkid yes it is getting up there and hopefully can convince some on the fence people to give carting a try

[@maxkhodo]

Great video👍🏻

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

cheers thanks man

[@maxkhodo]

True Racer do you mind checking out my KZbin channel it is about karting

[@jasonpcutah]

When you first started into skusa which class did you start at?

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Jason Holloway I ran S3 (which is this class) which is the novice shifter class

[@ronsinson1989]

How did you get the rpm and mph in sync with gopro?

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Ron Sinson with race render it is a software specifically for doing video and data overlays

[@neilugaddan]

Stabilizer left the group

[@aaronmartinez6964]

Bro you would destroy me 😂😂I went racing for my 15th bday and bro it was my first time I had a blast I won 8th place but thing is some people were bumping some were amazingly good and some were aggressive I wanted to play by the rules so their was no way I won 😢

[@Alan1michel]

awesome video Matthew! keept them coming. I also do iRacing, love it. see you at the track soon.

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Alan Michel cool man thanks. nd what do you run in iRacing

[@peronohaynada]

Watched 2nd time. Miss you matt, hope you are doing well!

[@boardr373]

As always great video, and the added telemetry is great...Q: how many G's are you maxing out? Q:#2 what software do you have on your kart to be able to grab telemetry and show on screen??.... Qjjddbbjr asked about the position...its difficult to see because your youtube avair is in the same spot.......one thing to note....your mouse clicks in the background are somewhat distracting turn your mic off....ha ha....can't wait to get on the track one day and get into Iracing on track with you as well.....I hope to extract some knowledge from you when I get started......keep it up....

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Thomas Reynolds cheers man glad you liked it. As far as G's each one of those circles is 1G in the center of the tech so it goes over 2.0 with some peaks around 3. I use a regular mychron and then I use race render to convert it to the overlays. And indeed man get your simulator up and running

[@nismonotmugen]

Are there any noob racing series or clubs to get involved with? I called Adam's in riverside... They only offer classes and open practice

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

yes with SKUSA there is a novice shifter class. other then that Calspeed has a very good rental kart racing series

[@nismonotmugen]

True Racer thank you

[@6wide]

Hey want get in to go kart racing idk where to start can you help me?

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Chris Avramov sure do you have anyquestions in particular. I always recommend to go to your local track to see what the big classes are talk to some people and get a good vibe of the community. this will probably generate more questions which is a good thing but also give you a really good understanding of how things work. Anyothre specific questions feel free to ask

[@petersims411]

Shoutout ath 3:35, wooo!

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Pete Sims haha indeed

[@stephennandi4538]

Man you were pushing i was rooting for 4th place, for you at least..lap 9 aftrer start/finish straight,1st corner, the drift might have cost you 5th place as the two guys infront of ya were jossling one of them was out of line..Overall you're BEAST

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

yea possibly but that is racing

[@johnjones-wh8fl]

Good job Bro

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

[@ParfaitOperationalGuidebook]

True Racer Hihihihih, loved your style man. Subscribed!

[@sonofafailrace4300]

The acceleration...

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Kenny Watterson is incredible

[@neil78b]

Couple more laps and you would have won? Couldn't you just change the number of laps in setting and try again?

[@svenpretsch8215]

neil Are you serious? This is real

[@neil78b]

Sven Pretsch Real what? I know he's really playing the game, its not a recording...

[@ParfaitOperationalGuidebook]

neil I love u

[@patchedupdemon7104]

how the fuck do u see where ur going.man i think that would shake my teeth out

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+russell lowe haha my spine absorbs most of it

[@Hansondiandian]

except no gadgets to use

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

your comment confuses me

[@Hansondiandian]

Ok, this simply displays a Mario Kart parody, so therefore "no gadget blocks to hit/no gadgets to use"

[@mitchskeaf1279]

I know it's a asshole question man but do you make any money out of your channel?

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

+Mitch Skeaf yes but it is nothing to write home about generally speaking it is about $1 for 1000 views

[@1Cobranut]

So this is all fake racing??? Graphics look pretty good.

[@TrueRacerAcademy]

Correct Complely fake

[@1Cobranut]

Thanks, kind of hard to tell with the realistic graphics these days.

[@stevelakios2326]
