TRAK Race 4 2023 *CRAZIEST RACE EVER* | Briggs LO206 Senior

Not much more to say other than complete chaos, this is the embodiment of Briggs Senior for you. Started 16th and went to 9th, then the red flag was a blessing for me to catch the lead pack, all I needed was a couple positions at the start, and I'm back there. However, I started 10th, and while taking avoiding action into turn 4, I went to the dirt and by the end of the lap I lost about 8 positions. Down in 18th (ish) I went back up to 7th place just like the last final, except I did it in about 6 laps this time. Set the fastest lap by about 2 tenths.

This is an awesome L0206 track. It’s just open enough to keep it from dropping down where it’s lugging and the clutching is killing it and still tight enough to be challenging

[@anthonyfrattaroliracing]

A bitttt of clutch killing in turn 5 (first right hander) but other than that it’s perfect

[@stevenburdick424]

Really competitive.

[@anthonyfrattaroliracing]

Very, you can’t really tune briggs engines and drafting is insane so it helps with close racing

[@giffy5775]

Too many karts on that track. 7:00 wow you got lucky those two seperated. If 389 had just swung wide none of that would have happened.

[@anthonyfrattaroliracing]

Ya I did get lucky not to crash with them lol, I would've definitely passed them all eventually though, I was lapping almost a second quicker a lap with the fastest lap as well. This was only like 27 karts I think, we're allowed a max of 40.

[@Danny_Sijo]

hey just a question, what is top speed on briggs and stratton?

[@anthonyfrattaroliracing]

yea it depends. At this track configuration, with senior weight we get to 88kmph. Another track we've gotten to 99kmph with senior weight. Most ive seen a briggs go is 104lmph

[@Danny_Sijo]

alr thank you brother@@anthonyfrattaroliracing

[@elemento1991]

@@Danny_SijoI can get up to 58 mph on the main stretch of our local track on ours with no draft. It takes a while to get there by L0206 is still super fun. All about conserving momentum and energy.

[@Danny_Sijo]

@@elemento1991 ohh alr, im thinking to go with kt100s maybe

[@elemento1991]

@@Danny_Sijo my plan is to move up to the KT if I get bored in 206 eventually. You can swap the KT on the same chassis you run 206 on so it’s nice to have that freedom. KT will have a more expensive and frequent maintenance schedule. They will probably run more aggressive tires that need changed frequently too. Our local club runs hard compound tires on our 206 which actually turn faster lap times since they let the motor spin up a bit out of the corners. They last the whole season. The only real prep work is cleaning and oil changes. I am a busy parent who is just trying to get a little racing in so it’s perfect for me. Just some food for thought, all depends on what you are looking for!

[@PloderMotorsports]

Lol 6:16 😂

[@anthonyfrattaroliracing]

That was the cleanest pit manoeuvre I’ve ever seen. Best part is it was completely unintentional.

[@YAMR1M]

That was some of the worst driving I have seen in a LONG time...

[@anthonyfrattaroliracing]

what about it was bad?

[@YAMR1M]

@@anthonyfrattaroliracing at about 7m 9 seconds the Karts hitting was obvious on the entry into the corner and you could see it was going to happen... If they are idiots in rental karts, I understand it... But a proper race series way too much hard contact and some of the lines were shocking.. Some of those guys need Sat Nav to find an apex.. I have driven with a 7 time British Kart Champion in a 6 hour endurance race series and raced against a guy who went on to be world Touring car champion (Rob Huff) and there was almost NO contact like that. All it does is slow you down and ruins the lines for drivers behind the carnage.

[@anthonyfrattaroliracing]

Oh I thought u were talking about me haha. Ya this is the mid pack so people are not really too quick. I was the fastest driver on track this session and like 1 second faster a lap than these guys so I was able to catch quick with their sub par lines. It’s also constantly rubbing in mid pack but even sometimes in the front, it’s briggs racing and people like to compare it to NASCAR, “rubbing is racing”. Which I agree with to a degree, there comes a point where it’s too much and you just gotta give up the position. Some people just aren’t aware and use it as an excuse when they crash.

[@Kingdlee_]

I think u both make valid arguments

[@bhanson4917]

Is deliberately ramming from behind considered okay in this class??? This doesnt look fun at all. Just a bunch of dudes smashing into each other :/

[@anthonyfrattaroliracing]

I haven’t rewatched this vid in a while so idk what you’re talking about. No you cannot bump and pass people, you can bump draft though, wondering where you saw it in the video?

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

Terrible track design. No place to pass, you have to force others off the track to pass.

[@anthonyfrattaroliracing]

Honestly not really, this is my favourite track out of the 6 tracks i've been to and multiple configurations. It's very tight and technical with a long straight which makes it super difficult to be quick and consistent because we are on relatively longer, top speed gearing which means that carrying speed through the corners is even more important and difficult due to less acceleration for the top end speed. You can pass on the straight up the hill, down the hill into into turn 1, 4, 5 and 9. If you really want to see a track where you cannot pass you should watch the most recent 5 videos. That configuration was impossible to pass.

[@frost737]

there are easily 4 places great for overtaking, and 3 of them are practically in a row

[@anthonyfrattaroliracing]

@@frost737 they’re all in a row. Turn 9, up the hill out of 9, into 1, into 4, into 5
