September 2024 Buffalo Grove Challenge GP Final
To say this month was a disaster would be an understatement. 20 drivers were divided into only 2 groups, and it was incredibly difficult to get a good lap, unfortunately. The final didn't go much better and I now trail Jamal in the points standings. Onto the next month. Camera angle wasn't the best at all, so enjoy looking at my steering inputs and not much else!
Finishing order:
1. Jamal Patterson- Best Lap Time: 19.601 Average Lap Time: 20.587
2. Jeremiah Reed- Best Lap Time: 19.741 Average Lap Time: 20.732

Finally. A year on from my first podium and a year and a half on from my first challenge GP, a win. Christian and Jamal definitely did not make it easy and put up a hell of a fight, but I was able to find a way past Christian and stave off two attacks from Jamal. Finishing order: 1. Evan Kramer- Best Lap Time: 19.462 Average Lap Time: 19.667 2. Jamal Patterson- Best Lap Time: 19.364 Average Lap...

You can always count on Dominik to go for le punt lmao. That battle looked fun, though!
@@JTeam45 hahaha it's always fun battling him, can never leave a gap or he's gonna go for it!
good race, I just been having really bad luck with the karts I been getting lately
@@PhillipMcGhieKartRacing a lot of the karts have been pretty bad lately, so I feel ya. Mine simply didn't turn right
@@WindyCityIndy27 hopefully all the karts next month run a little better
06:24 🤜🤛
Yeah qualifying with 10 people on track is tough if you don't get in sync with others on push laps/setup laps and such. One nice thing about the Mokena track is you can basically push every lap in qualifying.
Yeah it definitely made it tough, especially since there were some newer drivers that were probably 2-4 seconds per lap off the pace and racing in qualifying, so it was all but impossible to get a good gap. Definitely had more aborted laps coming to the final corner than I care to count😂
These are the tough races, but they're how you improve in the future. Looks to me like Scott's kart dies around 3:00 , and good on you for not shoving Scott out of the way to make a pass. You've nailed the turn 1 switchback move, but Scott is good enough to defend that. A similar move out of Schumacher and before the esses is harder to defend, but harder to pull off.
Yeah the competitiveness has really stepped up lately. Scott's kart was definitely dying, he even confirmed he felt like a sitting duck afterward, but his kart placement, plus Dominik bearing down on me, was enough to keep me from trying too much. Definitely working on being able to make something happen in the double apex after Schumacher.
2:02 👌, you love to see it
congratulations on the win
Thanks Phillip!
GET IN THERE!!! 🍾🏁
Haha thanks bud!
good race
Thanks Phil! It was definitely frustrating to give up a gained position, but lesson learned.
@@WindyCityIndy27 I had to lose on of my spots too.
@@WindyCityIndy27 yes it is frustrating also
Congrats on the second place! Do you remember your best lap from qualifying?
Thanks Alex! Q2 I ran a 19.481, karts seem to have lost pace the last few months and we are taking long breaks between sessions to charge.
Well that's a bummer, but are they still decently balanced? The newer model karts at Mokena aren't being maintained for the league - the fast karts are a quarter-second per lap faster than average, and the worst kart I've gotten was four-tenths slower than average. We just get whatever random karts are closest to the track. There's never been more than one heat of league racers any month this year.
It's kinda hit or miss tbh, sometimes it's pretty balanced, other times not. Even though this month was a smaller group, the last few in my final their pace definitely wasn't representative of what they can do. Yeesh, that's pretty bad on their part. Not exactly a big group either, i sure hope those numbers go up a bit.
So many low 19 second laps - either they really have these karts dialed in, or everyone's faster than last year!
I'm thinking a combination of both. They're still struggling with karts keeping charge, but it definitely feels like everyone has stepped it up this year
It's not flashy, but congrats on the great qualifying and consistent drive in the race! Do you remember what your best time in qualifying was? Phillip got a 19.397 and didn't even make it into the fast heat
I appreciate that bud! There were only like 14 people this month and 2 groups, so it was super tough to advance. I think my qualy time was a 19.2 something, but I started 4th, so a lot of 3s. Pole was a 19.1 something.
Good race
Thanks Phillip!
@@WindyCityIndy27 you're welcome, I guess there cams work once in a wile
4:16 Not sure if you meant to, but I appreciate the encouragement bump you gave me there 😊
Man I wish the angle of their Velcro cameras was better! At 1:57 you don't have to bail out and tuck in behind Cale, but going side-by-side through the Schumacher esses is sketchy AF
Yeahhh it's hit or miss if you get a good angle with those. As for being side by side and yielding to Cale, my kart was really quick, and I really thought I'd get him back quickly. That and I didn't want to end up with us both in the wall hahaha
1:05 I was wondering how Christian got spun around at turn 1 early on - a nudge from Everardo will do that more often than not!
Was that Christian? That's not his helmet, I thought it was Alex B. Still yeah, a bump from Everardo is rarely gentle!
