[xXMADDOG467Xx]

watch out for the turtle shells

[MicroOrginisum]

Where can i get one?

[lxplaya13]

You had some nice overtakes. Was your back end slipping out a bit in the final few turns?

[z838mx]

before 23 sec into this race you had 5 pases. dont fear a holeshot man. Great video but you could have been 5 places further in 20 sec.

[gullysquid]

great post

[Mrracingfean]

[NathanScheneman]

I wanna see the rest thats some damn good driving there smooth and fast, showing everyone how racing should be done I'm trying to find one but I want a really good one but still in my price range would you suggest a Honda CR125cc?

[M10Racer]

Stacy gave me the new big al crg and it flies

It is a rotax minimax

[HOOBLAposse]

[BMS10296]

[brigvalery]

Geillllllllll

[sshukri0]

[shadowprinceofevil]

realy good driver um 1 ? ur sponcers do thay pay u evry time u race or just one time plzzz anser back soon.oh 1 more thing im 12 do i need a jump suit and stuff or do i were my clothes and a helmet??

[standaway1]

no 12 year old nubs in shifters

[Funeral4aFan]

@shadowprinceofevil I recommend getting some experience in slower karts first. Once I find money (I'm seventeen) I'm going to get into some types of motorsports that are similar...

[thashNMBR1]

man you must have had a penalty or just a bad qualy lap

[driftking3363]

ur a good driver

[Matt218]

good god. this is awesome

[bosna1992]

you tune your kart well especially because of the rules you have on a race

[tvman9000]

holy crap its Mario kart

[vicente0354]

lol mario kart

[danco35]

Nice lap around GJ. I like that track. We race in Phoenix and SoCal with IKF, would love to include GJ and Miller Motorsports in our season.

[homerdrivesfast]

i thought those things used paddles?

[tim350black]

not traditionally but you can get them put on, it helps because you no longer need to take your hand off the wheel to shift. my ICC shifter is in the workhop now getting paddles put on :)

[hoodooman9]

Who knew go-karts could be so bad ass? damn...

[sexycal247]

I went over an apex where I race and burst a new tyre! lol

[dgonz]

awesome apex clipping.

[markbeville41]

nice start....always forget to put it in gear?

[neomuttley]

YeeHaw!! Good track. The tracks around me are too small to use shifter karts :-(...

[Str8representing]

nice video! why so short :)

[serravitor]

nice

[mikeXdeakin]

sick

[Leeland450]

Nice GJ has the best track in the state

[nkile4]

[95caru167531]

good driver

[5CRG]

What times do you run here? At the last race here for Race the Rockies I was running 54s and 55s my fastest was a 54.3. I was running a 125 S5.

[westsidetac]

you must a be professional racer cause you handled the turns so smoothly not like the others almost crashing into each other ahhahaha

[dkcrasher]

[homerunnerz]

Ever race at Adams Kart Track?

[vampov]

Man your kicking butt. We've got the next mario andretti here. I need to get into this I love 2 strokes.

[CormiersCorner]

What kart is that, how much does a new one cost, and would you recommend it?

thanks.

[eldewen]

that's some aggressive driving!

[elonblock]

Great job driving!

[EJ8Kenobi]

lol fall asleep on the start?

[TonyBtheEG]

holy mario kart!

[caitijo9]

OMG i live in grand junction and I have a commar 50 trying to get a mini max but I race on that track all the time do you you know chris? Darren? Richard? p.s. take the corners wider when you come to that turn on the straight away! You need to STAY on the left side!Wich you are doing good job but why woyld someone take advice from a 50/minimax

[streetwiseburger]

Thats a good lap

[rapitricky]

This time of year there are some pretty good deals on used stuff. Craig's List is one source. It would be good to find a roller that has a radiator and the needed shifter components already there. Most shifters are Honda Cr or purpose built Icc motors, so you're going to have to dig a bit to find an Exhaust pipe and the little things, but you can do it. If you're just going out to have fun and get some track time, the Kx would be cool. If you want to compete, consider a Tag kart, 125cc clutch.

[n00bf4rm]

what are the specs on the one you are driving

[corsaracingkart02]

thats some serious skill

[8kuh]

cool move at 0:36

[flores9]

maybe if you had a better start you would have been up front! lol

[racefan2801]

That's my favourite video here on youtube!!!

[doctordrew31st]

it seems like you pulled off late, i think the guy behind you almost hit you man

[parkskier25]

sweet i live right next to that its gay how all my neighbors complain about how loud it is

[TheMongooseMunch]

my friend is the guy filming!

how awesome!

[JGMagoo]

Passing 7-guys in one lap is AWESOME!! Are they all ICC, or is it a mix of ICC and ICA?

Great driving in either case!  ;o)

[redbulllrb3]

beautiful pass at the 39 sec mark...way to take advantage of that

[kingmanspydervs3]

hey that was me in front of the guy in the camera at that last part

[Peetgilb]

What's the average lifespan of a kart engine? (I'm guessing a shifter's engine is a lot shorter.)

[viksantaclaus]

around 15 hours

[emoalpaca]

Raket 120cc:

"big maintenance" every 100 hours

Rotax Max:

"big maintenance" every 50 hours

ICC shifters:

"big maintenance" every 5-10 hours or so.

Big maintenance meaning new pistons, piston rings etc. First 2 are great for hobby-karting, ICA, ICC, F250, Superkart etc are much more serious and money-eating.

Those hours might not be absolutely exact, they're just what I remember.

[lolnobzzz]

raket 120 sucks xD you can easily beat them with raket 85 :DD

[Deathguy72]

when you shift on upshift do u let go of the gas? or does it matter

[hjstulen]

to me it doesn't sound like he does, i know my son lets it off a little whne he upshifts and his engines tend to last what would be about a half race longer, so it makes littel difference but its good practice for when you get into cars to let off when you shift, however its not necessary in 2-stroke karts

[brandonsexywhitaker]

hey u seem like u kno what ur talking about. im wanting to get into karting and im having trouble finding a chassis. i have an older kx125 dirtbike motor i can use. i think its a 01 or 00. anyways do they even sell tonykarts or birel in america? or whats a good american chassis i could get.

[viksantaclaus]

no, u don't have to do that...it's a sequential gearbox

[hacklikethis]

If the engine produced more power you would definately have to, but rolling off the power slightly produces smoother shifts (more predictable weight transfer) and longer life of both engine and transmission.

[Milanotjuh]

compliments for your patience. You don't see that a lot with young drivers

[haarstock239]

nice driving

[Jonathanowns]

ICC isnt always faster lol. I've beatin' many people with my Honda 125cc. It just depends on your set up and jet and tire pressure and gear ratio and much more i just dont fell like listing.

[Malarkey555]

what is that engine? is 125?

[drumhero92]

li.iuhgo78totro7yurfo8lugyuifg­y8luig

[crash6871]

nice.

[paco4201]

no wonder why this fool is on the back of the pack...he blows

[crash6871]

what video were you watching?

[DjXuLe]

muy wapo

[sroadrunner20]

ok well armando, i do have to agree with one of your point's.

ICC drivers just correct their mistakes by down shifting.

TaG and ICA are all about smoothness and rythm

[Hawksworth28]

Are you stupid?! of course icc is faster than ica! i have driven both and icc is much faster and more demanding.

[EnterTheWolf]

and your a dickhead thinking your top shit lmao

[bjornar83]

ICC is faster straight forward, but ICA often has the best lap-times. Depends on the track.

[Malarkey555]

right, in some tracks is better an ICA than an ICC because ICC has to change grears and it makes lose time. However, ICC is very very fast.

[jogga123]

Badass video,quit being an ass armando

[2004hondacrf250r]

Sweet racing! You're super fast. What class is that?

[dvdhunsinger]

very cool!!

[rapitricky]

Armando,

Not sure where all the negative comments come from. Not sure you would like people making uninformed comments about your racing. It's just a video clip dude. If you're that superior to my son, I'm happy for you. We just like to race without all the Bullshit. Oh and Icc is not our only class we race, Armando Arends from Puerto Rico. I hope future sponsors see you as a good sportsman in the sport and a good investment.

[brandonsexywhitaker]

hey i want to get into karting. do u kno any good places to get parts? chassis?? lol i have a kx125 motor i could use too. any help would greatly be appreciated

[Armando17717]

Daaaaamn I wrote all this bullshit. Wow that was a long time ago I was looking at the vid and saw my comments. My bad for being an ass lol really. Good luck racing !!!!

[Armando17717]

Oh and ICA drivers are better Drivers than ICC Drivers.Icc drivers correct their mistakes downshifting jaja you suck keep posting vids an comments thats what you are good at hjajja

[Armando17717]

SPEED vision November Ok remember Don't beg me to be your friend ok

[Armando17717]

Oh and I do not race ICC Dumb Fuck

[Armando17717]

[kartracer82]

DANGGG

[kartracer82]

DUDE! u gotta help me out with my setup

ur an ANIMAL! who rebuilt your engine?

[mitgolden76]

great video. shame it was so short. ill b looking out for more

[NDarinzo]

I wish this many people raced ICC in my area. Nice.

[thefunnyesh]

v nice driving

[eyepoison]

hard racing! can't wait for next season!

[m0ng0053]

what kind of engine does that thing run on??

[rapitricky]

m0ng0053,

It's a 125cc Pavesi Icc motor. (Swedetach built) Roman races in Colorado and we have pretty size fields for the shifter classes. This motor has 6 speed gearbox. Check out our Monaco video listed under "shifter kart" even though it is a single speed clutch kart. I will post more of the event when I have time. That is a 250cc twin 4 stroke that produces tons of torque and is fun as well, but definitely different.

[xzibit123]

this is video is wicked the one hes racing is likes mines

[Hippiegeo]

Nice video

[Unmarked]

Wish I had one of those.

[mrjswift]

this guy is an animal, he passed almost everybody on the track in one lap
