Welcome to Racing Vlog 06!! This weekend, I had some bad luck in the races that left me in a tough position on track. The kart is still significantly off-pace, and there needs to be some changes soon to try and address that. Mainly looking for tips to maintain the motor, but any general advice is helpful!! Thanks so much for your support!! -Ethan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor/business inquires: epalosh@icloud.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me on Instagram: @epalosh.racing ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Hill Country Kart Club Class: LO206 Senior Chassis: CompKart Covert 3.0 2019 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Tags) Kart racing Lo206 Lo206 maintenance Compkart Karting vlog Lo206 Kart Racing Lo206 vlog Lo206 karting vlog #karting #kartracing #kartingvlog #Lo206 ]]> Sun 18 Apr 2021 12:07:11 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/16971/reelin-em-in-racing-vlog-06-lo206-karting-hill-country-kart-club/ https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/16975/master-of-defense-racing-vlog-05-lo206-karting-hill-country-kart-club/

Hello everyone! Welcome to Racing Vlog 04, where I take another practice day at the track to increase pace and consistency. Unfortunately, my tires have come to the end of their life, and need replacing before the next race. This will hopefully up the pace and other modifications made will get me right up there with the rest of the pack. Looking forward to next weekend!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor/business inquires: epalosh@icloud.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me on Instagram: @epalosh.racing ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Hill Country Kart Club Class: LO206 Senior Chassis: CompKart Covert 3.0 2019 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Tags) Kart racing Lo206 Lo206 maintenance Compkart Karting vlog Lo206 Kart Racing Lo206 vlog Lo206 karting vlog #karting #kartracing #kartingvlog #Lo206 ]]> Fri 26 Mar 2021 12:07:57 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/16977/seat-time-is-key-racing-vlog-04-lo206-karting-hill-country-kart-club/ https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/16983/practice-makes-perfect-racing-vlog-03-lo206-karting-hill-country-kart-club/
UPDATE: Clutch sound was NOT normal, and was a result of a missing washer between the dust plate and the drum. Thanks so much to everyone that commented and helped us fix this issue! :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Racing Vlog 03! I'm having an absolute blast making this series, and I hope you are enjoying it as well! The day went well and I learned a lot about consistency and being fast on track. Unfortunately, we seem to have an issue with the clutch that slows me down 2 seconds a lap. Please comment below once you've made it to that portion of the video, we could really use some help!! We plan on breaking open the clutch in the next few days to find out what's going on. If you have any comments about the proposed additions to the vlogs, let me know! Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED talk, and enjoy the video!! -Ethan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor/business inquires: epalosh@icloud.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me on Instagram: @epalosh.racing ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Hill Country Kart Club Class: LO206 Senior Chassis: CompKart Covert 3.0 2019 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Tags) Kart racing Lo206 Lo206 maintenance Compkart Karting vlog Lo206 Kart Racing Lo206 vlog Lo206 karting vlog #karting #kartracing #kartingvlog #Lo206 ]]> Wed 17 Mar 2021 12:08:48 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/16983/practice-makes-perfect-racing-vlog-03-lo206-karting-hill-country-kart-club/ https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/16985/how-to-clean-and-wrap-your-exhaust-lo206-kart-racing/

Welcome back everyone! This weekend's journey was not without issues, but was a great learning experience for the future. Learned the ins and outs of the carb and the clutch which is great knowledge to have. Still learning and improving, with lots of great races to come...now that the kart works :) Thanks for watching! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor/business inquires: epalosh@icloud.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me on Instagram: @epalosh.racing ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track: Hill Country Kart Club Class: LO206 Senior Chassis: CompKart Covert 3.0 2019 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Tags) Kart racing Lo206 Lo206 maintenance Compkart Karting vlog Lo206 Kart Racing Lo206 vlog Lo206 karting vlog #karting #kartracing #kartingvlog #Lo206 ]]> Wed 03 Mar 2021 12:09:47 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/16989/my-first-race-racing-vlog-02-lo206-karting-hill-country-kart-club/ https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/17013/cota-karting-55-831s-onboard-hotlap-at-night-tips-on-how-to-go-fast-8-10-2019/
UPDATED TRACK GUIDE HERE!! :) https://youtu.be/N26MHY78cFU ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Everyone! Welcome to my video! I wanted to post this video to help people who are new to karting, have never been to COTA before, or maybe even are karting enthusiasts get a feel of the track and see what a usual top time of the month looks like from a driver's point of view. I remember going to YouTube myself but could not find a video under 57 seconds or so within the past 2 years, so I took it upon myself to do it myself! Specifics: -I am driving the "champ" level go karts -Video was filmed at around 9: 30pm, so it is dark. -Full race of ~15 people, but I got very lucky with a full lap with no traffic. KARTING TIPS: Most Important: -Know the racing line (Or at least get an idea of what one is). If you have no idea what it is, that's ok! Take a few minutes to look it up and spend some time to understand what it is and why it is so essential. -DO. NOT. DRIFT. Even the squealing of the tires is a sign of you losing forward momentum and as a result losing precious tenths of time. If you have raced faster karts before: remember these are rental karts and although skidding into a corner might be faster in a higher powered shifter, it just plainly isn't here. Stick to a smooth line. -Don't jerk the wheel. Your steering should be somewhat fluid and not sharp back and forth as you will have a higher chance of understeering and/or losing control of the kart. -Keep your foot on the gas when it's not on lifting at the last possible moment. (even just barely) The truth is that on this track you don't need to brake. An important thing to do is to keep the RPMs high in the motor as they are not super powerful. In order to do this keep your foot jussst slightly on the gas even when lifting into a corner to keep the motor engaged and ready to accelerate on exit. Other specific stuff: -Try not to hit any curbs. The curbs on this track are killer and will not gain you anything by hopping up on two wheels or even getting beached on them. -Stay right after turn 1, hit an early apex on turn 2, and then slowly fan out onto the straight. This is the fastest way to gain time onto the straight. -Use a late apex into turn 4 to gain more time into turn 5. -Cut right after the curb of turn 7 to set you up for the hairpin. -Use every inch coming out of turn 8 so you can carry a ton of momentum through the corner. (Might get a little bumpy) -Go way left before entering turns 10-12, and hit a very late apex and use all the track on exit. -Ignore a practical line through turn 13, just make sure you set up 14 correctly onto the straight. -Take a geometric or "ideal" line through turn 15 flat out. -Use all of the track entering turns 1, 4, 8, and 10. -Use all of the track exiting turns 3, 8, 12, 14, and 15. *Disclaimer* This is not a perfect lap! There are people who have gone faster! I am putting this video out purely with the intent of helping people. ]]> Sat 17 Aug 2019 12:13:01 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/17013/cota-karting-55-831s-onboard-hotlap-at-night-tips-on-how-to-go-fast-8-10-2019/
