OVRP Shifter Kart Race #1 (6/15)

Ride along with me around Oakland Valley Race Park while I try to navigate through the field in Race 1 of 2 on Saturday. Both races were 15 mins + 2 laps, which were BRUTAL. I unfortunately didn't have the pace on these older tires in Race 1 which shows. I ended up finishing P5 in this race after starting 8th, but the GoPro was malfunctioning all weekend and this is all the footage I got. Race 2 was another story when I was fighting for the lead, but unfortunately suffered a mechanical failure causing me to DNF. Unfortunate that once we found pace we had a bit of bad luck, but that's racing!
Thanks to Carblos Racing Engines, Maranello Kart USA, Vermont Kart Company, and Brad Danoff for providing a great experience this weekend.

You look good for the amount of time you have in the kart on a sprint track. I have some slightly used tires from Spring Nationals to give you when I see you.

What's your camera set up look like. How do you get a whole race recorded without a temperature or battery shutdown in 4K? I have been having so many issues with my hero 10 black.

We run the Hero 11 Black and have the same exact issues. We've tried several different batteries and they all seem to overheat. I get lucky once in a while and it'll record an entire race. The only solution we have been able to think of is hooking the camera up to an external battery pack.

@@team12racing. I am going to try 1080p at 30fps without stabilization. Also, I am going to add a bit of paper towel on the battery door side of the battery to help keep pressure on the battery contacts. I feel like the vibration sometimes causes the battery to lose connection. It doesn't help that we are placing the camera on the discharge side of the radiator.

@@davidcarmendy5244 I’ve heard running it at 1080 will close to double the length so that’s a good idea. I used to have that same battery problem with the bumps but got a second battery and the contact was better and it never disconnected from the bumps. It’s really hit or miss. Look at my new video from this past weekend to see what it looks like without stabilization on the helmet cam. Gives a much better POV but may cause migraines! 😂
