    As a sportbike racer, this was bananas. I have you guys around 1:40-1:41 for laptimes, is that right? That's right around our mid-pack 600cc sportbike times. And we can clip close to 150 on the back straight. Just goes to show what 4 wheels and a really low center of gravity can do for you. Looks like fun!

      Yea that’s correct. 4 wheels definitely helps in the corner and it sure would be nice to have an extra 475cc!! lol

      The contact patch to weight ratio of a kart is absolutely insane.

      I didn’t get the best jump and the other guys drafted around me. I had no help down the straight.

    Were you going 131 or turning 13,100?

    • @alexwatzke288
      @alexwatzke288  Рік тому +1

      118 was the top speed and over 15k rpm

      @alexwatzke288 I only did 125 in my Veloster N. 118 in a kart is insane!

    I must have screamed at you to pass him 8 times! Why are you running into the back of them when you clearly have the run?

    • @alexwatzke288
      @alexwatzke288  Рік тому +7

      Drafting him to push him down the straights. 2 karts are faster than 1 on the bigger tracks. We wanted to create a gap to 3rd.

      He was working with him to close the gap in front and create a gap behind!

      It’s called bump drafting, it’s like one kart with two engines.

    2nd or 1st .. if no draft then i think you would have run away with it.

      Second by half a kart or less

    • @boblederer9043

      you raced clean. a lot of drafting and your kart set up for a little more speed on long straight not much you can do except timing on being in the lead. that lapped kart thwarted your pass.
