Here you go guys. First of the 2 GoPro videos from Monterey this past weekend. This is heat race #1. It only lasts about 5 laps due to my unforced spinification skills and then, giving Simon nowhere to go, he gives me a nice "Hello there" tap and away he goes, no worse for the wear. I limp back to the pits and begin repairs. Big huge thanks to Scott Bura for helping me straighten the front bumper and get ready for Heat #2. Sorry, no camera was mounted for race 2. I re-mounted the camera on my helmet (race 1 was shot from the front faring) for the main event. That will follow in a few days as it will take a number of hours to upload due to the resolution. Anyways, enjoy #1 ! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkEXmBcaF2k-PV |

Very nice videos Paul. I completely forgot you had two less teeth than I did and you surprised the CRAP out of me at the end of the straight in the main.  I assumed I had more cushion that I did due to the spinout that happened a couple laps before. There I was tooling around in 90-95% mode and WTF!? There's Pauley! LOL Got back on my horse but after changing my lines and generally driving like an idiot I couldn't get away again. Good job. When I saw you were a corner behind me I assumed you must have spun someplace and I was able to go back into NMM. Here is The main |

Enjoyed the video! That was a triple 9 race, w/ Paul letting out many years of excitement in Monterey, and Brad on a Sunday-drive. Loved the enthusiasm demonstrated after the race, that's why we all are involved. One thought....some rpm loss heard in mid-to-exit, is that the result of trail-breaking, or chassis bind? If it's brake related, KNOCK IT OFF! |

When you say "KNOCK IT OFF!" do you want him to do the Ron method and literally just knock the brake pedal off while racing. I can attest to the fact that you will be going into the next corner without braking. I see some KC violations in the videos ......... . |

Truth be known, there's not enough surface area on ANY track for two karts to run the RON METHOD, in the same race, at the same time!

I see some KC violations in the videos ......... . You are absolutely right Ron. The ironic part is I understand that are all against the #90! |

I'll see if I have any photos to prove those charges.
