[bloomerz94]

[ItaloRino10]

this looks like fun

[ardilladeltibet]

indeed, very bad driver...u take out your hand to chance the year, wich isnt necessary, and u crash stupidly.

[reuniontapersex]

woww!! nice kart!

[xnslancerx]

how much does a cart like that cost?

[lukewill783]

@xnslancerx About $65,000 :P

[flatspotproductions]

@xnslancerx You can get a used kart for anywhere from $2000.00 to $5000.00, a new kart roughly $8000.00 to $9000.00. It depends on what you want.

[heartbreaker24ace1o]

that was the "hello" moment. great video

[racingg95]

Seems like your tires were finally coming in like halfway through your stint...

[nghonleong]

nice race, a few good overtaking moves....track a bit bumpy tho!

just a tot....but would holding the steering lower ( at the 4 & 8 o'clock ) help smoothen your steering action? try it....

[Jizzle76]

The camera kart was at fault for the crash, and throws a fit as if it was the other guys fault...dick.

[kimifan06]

@Jizzle76 i think he was just upset at the fact he's out of the race

[mrlimplizard]

great race!! Sorry bout the mishap@ the end...man you were consistent on swapping gears, seems like you were lacking in power to take on the leaders. Your were hitting the lines and didn't miss any marks.

[gianracer]

muito ruim demais......precisa melhorar a tocada.....consideravelmente.

[curtsk19]

i bet you fucked his rad up

[jraybay]

Nevermind read the video description lol

[jraybay]

That was wicked at like 1:41 when that guy spun and you overtook 3 people lol. Also are you allowed to run paddle shifters? i'm not familiar with these here so sorry if its a stupid question.

[drf22]

This guy is taking all the wrong lines. He is trying too hard...Less is more.

[kidracer41]

@drf22  your right, turning in to early, straighten those corners out to get that jump you need.

[wikileek]

Yeah... It is a killer video,,,, I will put it up on wikileek for the whole world to enjoy it :)

[NDarinzo]

great video! makes me want to restore my icc to running condition.

[pappuleast]

You did ok in the beginning as for the end you stared picking it up then crashed....

watch those apex's to!

Nice driving.

[benahawk]

Good stuff but it looked like u weren't taking the race line but correct me if I'm wrong u could have been trying to hold your position

[Logheuger]

look this .....you need more mechanical grip .

[sissyman3]

not bad dude but ya blew it at the end there. went in to hot but ive done it no big. but ya ran a good line.

[chaneke87]

excellent race after a poor start...popped the clutch out too soon...y

[TheJimineycricket]

Damn nice driving there, very consistant, nice video :)

[tjbro443]

damn man ! you were picking them off one by one. almost had her..

[Nemmoneg]

what informations can you see on the display in the steering wheel?

[flatspotproductions]

@Nemmoneg Primarily it displays lap time, it also displays rpm and the water temp. Check out aimsports com if you want a better look.

[TheFreakINcontrol]

@flatspotproductions I love my Mychron 4 but I really wish they had made it as accurate as the 3, it has a lag though the RPMs where the Mychron 3 is always dead on. Plus I miss the RPM lights and it showing you what hear you are in. I mean I race TaG Sr but still. They removed a lot of stuff.

[HunterArmstrong191]

@Nemmoneg And with a GPS it will show when your on and off the throttle as well as MPH.

[kokaiy]

@Nemmoneg how many kg u lose

[Vhager]

LOVE the video! Found myself leaning my head into the turns :-) I think you drove an amazing race --- Too bad about the crash at the end... But it happens.

Are you running S4 this year? Helmet cam is at a good placement for viewing --- Where/how did you attach it?

[Vhager]

[flatspotproductions]

@Vhager Just a stupid mistake on my part. I'm running S4 in the NorCal race. I put the cam (ContourHD) low on the chin, there's a bit less shaking there and you get a better view looking forward. I attached it with zip ties and these sticky tabs that you can slide zip ties through. ( the stick tabs are very hard to get off though )

[Kartracer3333]

great video man. I really want to gothis year.

any tips for gearing wise? also are you

driving a CRG chasis?

[flatspotproductions]

@Kartracer3333 This was a CRG chassis, I picked up a used Energy chassis while I was there.

[Kartracer3333]

awesome vid! I really want to go to the 2010 Super Nats,

would you mind telling me what kind of gearing they run their?

it seems like a little longer than normal straightaway so maybe around

a 16 front, 28 rear? and hey way to be aggressive out there!

[flatspotproductions]

@Kartracer3333 sorry I don't remember, it was bit long given the long straight.

[thash1127]

how many cc?

[flatspotproductions]

@thash1127 125cc it's a stock honda 125cc motor

[lanakimanatou]

I didnt know they allow Ign. cut-outs (that allows you to up-shift without lifting) in S4

Other than that nice drive.

[HawX777]

Awesome race, damn good video quality thanks for the vid dude :D U are N1

Nice overtakes, too sad that the crash happened...

Balls of steel, driving such rockets !

[mspaintball]

Awesome racing man! Btw I'm REALLY lovin' the CRG hahaa. Just a tip though, because it's the SuperNats, you should try and hug the barriers more when turning in. Unlike a normal sprint track you can't really go wider then cut in for the apex because there's a lot more track out room so anyone making a dive on the inside can just shoot straight out and have all the room they need to track out back onto their line. Once again though it was a good race. Tough break at the and though but it happens.

[SpecPRDkarter]

I agree 100% he's drag racing it. Use all the track it's what it's there for! Keep that corner speed up =P

[pimpdaddydarren]

Did anyone see at 4:56 where number 5 got air and ended up ontop on someone.

Oh and by the way good shit !

[streetwiseburger]

awesome vid! pitty about the tangle at the end, you made up some good places.

[jduenas32]

You landed on that dude prett good! Haha but in your defense he did brake pretty early.

[andybatt1]

Zanardi #5 looked fast!

Can you post the heat race crash with the Zanardi?

[nayrking]

That's sick! Man I'd love to get into Karting. Out here in Vegas, Pole Position can only do so much! lol.

[jduenas32]

ya they had a sick KARTING place in sloan but is now shut down. Sucks man.

[davidjburgess]

flatspot - do you know if there is a video of the Tag senior final?

[flatspotproductions]

I haven't seen any, only S3 from mrman3k

[flatspotproductions]

I take that back, check out vr4eclipse Doesn't look like they made it to the final though.

[mikepartyboy]

how do you race in this?

i'm in vegas btw

[jakex24karter]

@mikepartyboy a go kart and a lot of money

[giriphotography]

and a good stomach !@

[davidjburgess]

Excellent, who is this guy?? Does anyone know? I'd like to know what position he was in when he crashed - seemed like he passed quite a few people! Bullish move on the crash though, pass wasn't really on.

ps - easynickman, I hope you're joking...

[easynickman]

me kidding why?I he passed lot of people?who people who died alongside of the track...u should see what professioanl drivers do...maybe u r not used to karting, but he was slow and unconsistant, i am just statin what i saw here so he can improve next time.

[flatspotproductions]

I started 30th and I was 16th the last time by start/finish. When I crashed out, I was not trying to pass the guy, I was just trying to get right on his bumper, so I could pass him in a better spot. I just misjudged his speed through the corner and my breaking and ran over the guy.

[davidjburgess]

thought so, it was a shame as you were on for top ten at the rate you were passing people, despite what easynickman (our alleged expert) might think! Pretty good for "slow and inconsistent" - I trust you'll take onboard his advice for next time.... ha!

Where/which series do you normally race in?

[topperharley822]

@davidjburgess i was not jokin...

[pinchegabacho28c]

before we all got kicked off the wall down the straigh. STUPID PIGS. good drive tho

[jduenas32]

Hahah! Ya i saw all you guys had to get off, u had prime spot to watch! BUt hey check out my video and this one is great quality as well.

[humpybelly]

VeRy niCe

[jledesmaf1]

Nice footage, sorry to see your race end prematurely. Better luck next year.

[flatspotproductions]

Nice crash at 4:56

[jakex24karter]

The pass at 4:40 was great

[easynickman]

nice video, despite all your lines r a bit off...nice video though!How long have u been driving?not long i guess...greeting from Italy
