Wonderful selection of helmets, that I’m sure nobody has ever wore or sweated or who knows what else done to it. :crazy

I got just a few more and I’ll get to them later on, this should be enough to hold you guys over.

lol @ your helmet and swift’s hat

sick man, good pics !! no dslr’s on site?

Im having issues with picture # 1 wtf /

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_0295.jpg

This is what happens when you try and tune the cart yourself … lol the track guys couldn’t figure out what was wrong with cause it would only die when a certain someone drove it. :rofl

12 . . . the greasy weasel! I spent more time sideways than I did facing forward.

@ Wayne - Great quote.

Vladddd wheres the go pro vids homie

i cant wait to see my video… when i ran good for 4 or 5 laps following wayne, then ran over #12. lol

Were you wearing the go pro when that happend? :lol

After sorting out all the issues between cameras flying off into the grass, having automatic shut-off issues and others the final result in the scrapyard is … 3 videos.

Thankfully one of which is indeed Swifty’s video of him piling another dude, but that’s just a daily occurrence in Swifty’s man-love world.

Videos are all shaky and one is upside down, I could either give you guys the raw from the start or take a week (or two or a year) promising to edit them, deshake and others to give a better result.

DUDE LOL i never signed that !!!

and @ vlad raw video FTW just put them up NAOW

Yeah man just throw up the raw video.

Sick dood. I used to race these on dirt when I was younger.

I was in the number #14. Great overall kart.

Me leading the pack for all of like a minute :rofl

Check out my lean! :rofl :rofl
http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_0295.jpg

i found out leaning actually made a great difference, so i was really leaning with the #11

too bad i popped the damn chain :frowning: bitchessss

I definitely leaned a lot. I think that’s how I was able to do half decent for my first time on kart #14.

One thing about leaning… If you are leaning INTO the turn it doesn’t necessarily help you. Leaning to the OUTSIDE of the turn can be better in most cases.

Reason is that the kart has a solid axle and no diff (as Shady learned- j/k man), and because of this you have to get the INSIDE rear wheel to lift off the ground so you can turn because both wheels want to turn forward at the same rate. Having the INSIDE rear wheel off the ground removes this contact patch and the force that causes plow, or understeer…

If you lean to the OUTSIDE it can help the inside wheel to lift and get you to turn…

Now… If you were in kart #10 try none of the above. Only being balls out Singh style (and a prayer or two) can help you there…

Hey. Singh wasn’t the only one drifting. I had a couple of my own slides in there.

Not saying he was the only one- but he actually seemed to prefer the looser kart as it suited his style that’s all…

I know…lol.
