Finally brought my GoPro with me karting, but since I don't have a helmet of my own, I was forced to mount it on the fairing on the side pod of the kart. Made it shaky. I tried to mount it on the fairing on the steering column but there was no dice. My buddy starts in front of me in the blue jacket and white helmet, and there was some teenager that spent the first half of the race trying to crash him. He said after the race that my buddy crashed him in the previous race, but we weren't even in it. I ended up setting the best time in that session, and it was also my PB at that track. Turn the video up to 720 or 1080 for the best results.

EDIT: My buddy's footage:

That teen dude was a douche... Luckily at my local karting place, they have electric karts, and people like that teenager would have had their car shutdown... and after he spun your boy, he'd have been asked to leave. They don't mess around there... contact is one thing, intentionally spinning someone is another.

Also, electric karts are faster, at least at my local place... you should try to find a place that has them.

Oh, similar looking I guess. Don't remember On Track very well. I'm going tomorrow for my now 11 year old brothers birthday.

nice racing! I need to get back to the karting track near me.

Yeah that teen guy was ticking me off while watching... I'm not even there and he was making me bad, going all kyle busch.

I think you were very patient with Mr. Red Hoodie. Must have been a friend of yours. I would have spun him out after about 3 or 4 laps of his blocking. Right between turn 1 and 2, you had him set up several times. It might have taken a few times to spin him and not be part of the collateral damage, but I would have kept after it. He was fouling your lap times.

Right at the 3:00 mark of your buddies video, that's ground for a good parking lot right. Teenagers don't really know what getting punched is like, so they usually run off.

Track by me has been getting slicker over time. Ten seconds slower per lap than the first time I went there. Tough to race, but a blast to drift :)
