Pro Predator feature, Spoon River 6/5-AJC Speedweek. Camera footage is shaky and unstable due to it being corrupted, did my best to fix it. The rusty chainsaw noise in the background is the beat to death clutch in charge of powering the generator program. No idea how or why I restarted third but it worked out great with a huge push from fourth rocketing the 18s out front. Held on just long enough to raise the Jolly Roger!šŸ“

Big Track footage! Was ready to go home after 4 days of racing. Driver had a major case of pussyfooting around in the features really didn’t want to be involved in someone else’s mess at 70mph+, can’t afford new limbs or race cars. Good view of the field tho, we were flying!
Heat race footage was corrupted. Not going to worry about posting it, we were drafting at Daytona and the dust was angry!
Pulled off points feature couldn’t see anything at all way back there. Narrowly avoided the same car backwards twice on the start. The camera can catch twice as much as the eyes can while driving and it didn’t catch the second car spinning into the wall on the initial start at all, lucky to make it through that one.
Pro Feature more of the same, just wanted to experience the event and make it back to the trailer. Watching Blaise Garner leave the ground and take a nap over the side of the kart was enough to convince me I’ve had the full experience and called it a week. Glad he was okay and looking forward to his return. Really unique event and happy I was there to catch some of the other racing, thank you to the staff!

Footage from Friday 6/5 at Spoon River Speedway - Kart Track-AJC Speedweek. Points feature followed by the pro feature. Expected Vega tires to work well here like usual, not the case at night. Nick Bauman saved our bacon and loaned out a set of Maxxis that kept it in the hunt for the features. In hindsight I shouldn’t have checked up in the pro feature passing for third, knew how it would look with a kart driving down across my nose, led me to get absolutely punted twice in one lap and ended a great run with incredible competition throughout the field.

Moisture was inside the camera case from the humidity and makes a persistent glare, apologies. Pretty sure the camera gyro is broke it looks bouncy but the surface was very smooth and worked in extremely well, staff always prepares a great track any day of the week. Currently all the footage from Viola, the heat races and predator class recordings from Friday at Spoon River are somehow corrupted. Trying to fix them and when I do they will be up. Thank you everyone, especially those I race with every week!

What a wild week! Proud to have survived and participated every day in speedweeks, not bad for a guy in a van! Thank you...

One more time with the crew on the big track! Good runs last night, terrific in clone class got ran over tracking down third ran back up to 6th shoved through the infield, at that point driver burnt the RR off! Great speed in both karts, both ready for a makeover after this week.

Footage from Wednesday night at Exit 7 Motorsports Park One heat followed by two features, the pro feature starting lineup was determined by qualifying. First feature I accidentally turned off the front camera so it’s just the driver side! Track was rougher than the camera gyro could handle but we all raced on the same surface and it provided a good racing line so thank you to the staff! Ironed out some issues before second feature started in the gutter but posted some of the fastest laps of the race so good additions to the notebook. Ready for Viola!

We are ready for day 2ļøāƒ£ in Viola!
