No camera at the finish line = lame

I love these videos that show a clear winner so accurately. After all, it's what we're all here for. Glad the content creator gave us all what we wanted.

Back in 1987 myself and a couple friends took a wrecked Yamaha Seka 750/ shaft drive and made a "go-cart" using motor, transmission, electronics and some golf cart components. One of those friends had a highpo mechanics shop in Little River SC. Chrome molly tubing frame and we were in the process of fabricating a fiberglass body which untimately our goal was for it to resemble the look of the "Malibu Grand Prix" cars used in the franchise of the same name. I can tell you as a speed freak and motorcycle drag racer, it scared the crap out ouf me lol. Never clocked so i do not know how fast it actually was. All i know is, through proper modification at 60mph indicated it was the same as a trailing car escort on US 17 between Little River and Cherry Grove SC. The speedo read to 160 when it was on the bike frame and it would bury the needle. At 2 inches off the ground 60 or 70 mph would scare you. My bike could do 180mph in the quarter mile. This little demon was at least just as fast. And that 2 inches? Speed was an addiction for me. That little bastard cured my illness🤣

Good acceleration!

No times, no speeds, no results. Waste of time.

So glad we got to see literally the slowest part of a drag race

Does it look like that Porsche is going sideways down the track to anyone else? Illusions of the optical variety. Gotta love ‘em.

That go kart in the rolling start really said ‘that’s not full auto’

Imagine how fast those little tires have to spin!

It would be great to have a finish line shot so we know who won!

Would have liked to have seen a take from the boom lift and see the finish at least. But kudos to holding it between the lines. Those chainsaws on wheels get sketchy quick with the go juice 🏎💨

Damn! 🤯That go-kart is amazing.. that sound it makes when it hits it's power-band you just know it's a force to be reckoned with👏😙🚬

This is so awesome!!! Every viewer has to make a wild guess as to what the hell is going on in each and every race! Nice work!!!

You gotta be either crazy or have nerves and balls to drive a 230HP skateboard!

The best race I never saw!

What frame are you using on this?

That super kart for all its dangers is still pretty freaking sweet

Until you show the finish line, this is a waste of time.

I can't imagine how fast things must feel being that close to the road!

I raced a KT100 for a few years. These super karts are insanely quick. I'll never forget on a practice run being passed by John Hamilton halfway down the Ruapuna Straight, I was doing about 140kph and he was doing about 210kph. Still good fun in the KT though doing 160kph with your bum an inch off the ground!

these videos need some go pro action so we can actually see who wins. pretty useless without that

It's ridiculous that anyone would even be surprised to find a cart beating the cars. You've got 230 HP in probably less than 300lbs, while the Porsche is just under 3000lbs, and the Audi S4 is even worse at around 3600lbs. Meaning, in terms of power to weight ratio, the Cart is probably about 0.76, the Porsche is 0.43, and the Audio 0.3.

The sound of the kart bouncing off the rev limiter 🤤

I had a friend 50 years ago that had a cart powered by dual west bend engines that was very fast. He would go out trolling for cop cars and just run off and leave them.

Some actual results along with pwr to wgt ratios including drivers would make this a lot more interesting!

Ok the go kart sounds like a tie fighter from Star wars lol

the go-kart's power-to-weight is insane

That cart having shifting problems or were the tires cutting loose at speed and spinning on the first run?

all i saw was a go cart going down the track and a Porsche goofing off and then stopping.....after a minute and a half ...was no use watching anything else.....useless video

The power to weight ratio on that go kart must be phenomenal!

In the last race, I like how it looks as if the go-cart is floating down the track as if a mirage or something.

Wife: So how was the track Husband: I got beat by a effing go kart

thank you so much KZfaq recommends, that's another minute of my life gone.

Somebody send these guys some drones!

Would slightly larger tires help?

Have u ever been smoked before Porsche Guy: yes I by a go kart

The most amazing thing to me is that the kart is hitting the rev limiter constantly. It blows through the RPM range that fast. This thing is capable of more than we're seeing. I'd love to have one of those. Wonder what the cost would be for a kart like that. Gotta be cheaper than the porche right?

Usually there’s a monitor recording speed and time over a set distance. It tells how fast in speed and time it took each vehicle to go from A to B.

got drone camera?

What length is the track?

Some kind of weird optical allusion makes it look like the porsche is driving kind of sideways, almost as if there was a drive train issue or something.

Geez, what am i looking at? Its sais VS. Well hell, WHO WON each stint!? Its pointless

How do thos lil wheels not spin off into space?

Those tires are very impressive but what if they were twice the size

Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that the kart was pulling away so fast, the effects of the Doppler Effect made the engine sound like it holding almost a consistent engine RPM...

Can't tell what's happening from these angles. What a waste.

Camera man why don’t you stand at the finish line?

Ummm why are the brake lights on during the race on the cars?

I imagine how it feels being so low to the ground and going so fast

Sounds so good🤤🤤

I think I heard him hit the Nitro button about halfway down would have been cool to see the acceleration

Are you kidding me! another drag race with no finish line. Senseless video

I was so excited to see the outcome, but this was trash!!!

Sooo i assume he makes the karts for Mario and the gang😂

WOW! 7 Years ago. Nice to see the Black Audi RS4 Sedan (It's not a S4) of Phillipp Kaes again. I saw his number plates (H RS 88). This "old" RS4 had 1200+ hp at the last evo step. 4 years ago this legendary audi was destroyed by flames. Phil is building the new version (Version 2.0) completly out of carbon parts with the known 3.0 liter V6 (stock 2.9) from the RS4, two new chargers and the air intake of an Nissan GTR. It's almost done and the car will perform the upcoming events this year 2023. Waiting for it with (1500 hp ?) and good luck.

that cart engine needs some tuning. sounds like crap on the top end

it struggled to shift gears the first run

Back in 1962, I drove a cart (we actually used the letter "c" back then) with 2-Mac 9's on it. 190' back straightaway. Easily hit 85-90 mph with those little hornets pushing that machine. Amazing what they've done in 60 years with them. Love k(c)art racing. It's the best, but only if you're on the track.

*Legend has it, they're still going .. . . .*

sounds like a fuckin ti-fighter from star wars haha

That sound is sweet! 🔊

Rolling start man I wanted to see that bad boy pull a wheely

Anyone know the kart build or the people?

Love the sound - That's about it...

The 3rd run was by far the carts best run. Idk how fast. But damn it sounds good 👍🏽

That Super Kart rips hard! 😲

This is definitely inspired by those dudes on busy highways. Racing today is very different. Back in the day my brother and his buddies would race down Rand Rd. From the McDonalds towards Euclid. They knew how far the quarter mile was. Those were the days.

who did win..?? i cut not see it, we did onky see it from behinde, so who the fuck did win..

Assuming 150 mph and 8" tire diameter on the cart, thats approximately 6,300 rpm... the rotation of a typical car tire at that speed is a bit over 2,000 rpm... it's amazing that that small piece of rubber can handle that amount of centrifugal force.

What’s with the weird rolling cheat area before the start of the race?

Who won ?

That Porsche needs alignment - it's going sideways =)

That must be fun😍🔥💯

Was it the Philipp Kaess Audi?

Dónde consigo uno de esto el karting

A Go Kart hits it's torque almost immediately. A "few" years ago (about 60), I was on a Go Kart team. Our Captain had two McCulloch chain saw engines... one connected and synced to each back wheel. We never lost a race. Minute the start light came on- he jumped out front, the rest of us spread across the track and blocked the opponents and the end was said and done. IT WAS FUN!! YourConscience

Sorry it’s boring video 🥴

I'll never get that 3 minutes back.

That kart engine Sounds fire🔥

This is one of the many saving graces of humanity, we do stupidly awesome stuff like this. The cart sounded badass idling. :)

So who won what? no point in showing this without showing the results!!!!

Girl - what car do you drive - me - go kart

This whole video is like a potentially great movie with NO climax

soooooo who won?

Remember the name of the "person" posting this and never watch a video of theirs again. Don't let them profit from this bullshit

how much those cost?? the go kart

That b5s4 tho🔥🔥👌👌👌

Rolling start, takes all the skill out of it

A onboard video on that cart would of been sweet. That thing is awesome

Imagine having 1300 hp & getting your checks handed to you by a go cart that sounds like a wasp just snorted a line and is mad about it

my brother has been racing those HP carts for 25 years in the eastern US racing leagues...they are crazy fast and no problem getting to and maintaining 130mph

Damn, that go-cart is in-friggin-sane!!! I want one...woulda been nice to know who won though

Nice vantage point. You've got a good eye for this sort of thing. I see bright things in your future. With camera work like this you'll get to Hollywood in no time. Good luck you talented guy, you.

no seeing finish times etc what was the point?

shoudnt the camera be at the other end?

maybe if we can watch the finish line to see who won would've been better.

The guy in the cherry picker got some really great video.

Darwin award for going that fast without a roll cage. not an if, but a when.

Looks like fun, i love racing. I'll take on a challenge at anytime driving my domestic cars. I bought this 2002 Honda Odyssey 6cyl , and to my surprise it has some balls , the engine sounds like a real engine when you're stomping on the gas pedal.

Wow, such a powerful Cart. Seems to be a lot of Fun. Great job
