Here is a little clip of last weekends race at California Speedway. My kart ran like shit all weekend but I did get one somewhat decent helmet cam clip. This is coming up off the infield onto the main straight at California Speedway. If my kart had been working correctly I would have eaten this Parilla Leopard for lunch but instead I had to tuck in a bump draft. I was about 800 rpm short on top end for some reason. I still haven't figured it out.
Yeah he knew I was there. Watch the video again. I run up and give him a little tap at first and then drop back a second to see what he wanted to do. You see him nod his head to say "bring it on" because it helps him also.
BPUKiller, the lap charts show number 77 Leopard as a Tim Finley.
The Rotax guys were hitting about 90-92 mph at the end of the straight (aerodynamically limited) while the Superkart guys (Eddie Lawson) were more like the 145ish range.
mayhan1980 - But were you bump drafting on your gixxer?
