Guy kicked you both out to cover his abysmal marshalling skills.

im a supervisor at k1 san diego there was no reason for them to take you out of the race. they did not wave a yellow flag and if the kart did break they should have switched it.

Yea you shouldn't have been kicked out or even in trouble. 100% not your fault

wait a minute the guy spins and the marshal is NOT waving the yellow flag it is up to the marshals to let the driver know if there is an accident or anything dangerous ahead

Wait so the guy spins, you can't see him cause of the flagsman in front of the turn, who should be on the other side of that wall for that exact reason, and you spin trying not to hit him and get kicked out?! That's absolutely moronic

i see no flags not your fault dude :)

From a k1 speed track official (me) that was not your fault, the flagger should have been waving the yellow flag (caution) but the video proves other wise, you should have been able to keep going and finish the race

That is complete BS and I would have taken that video to the owner or higher up. There was no way for you to see that and avoid it. Your driving was spot on and in always in complete control.

wow for real. money back or something. that's y I don't go to k1. that wasn't your fault. were was the flag.

Their track rules suck

5:18

Corner worker doesn't throw yellow for spin, blames driver blindsided by the pole in the middle of the line of sight and kicks you out. elegiggle

Yeah everybody is on your side on this one. You were probably the best driver on the track when that happened and that was totally unavoidable

That's really stupid you both got kicked off! The person in front of you couldn't help for spinning out, there should've been a warning and you couldn't see around the turn to begin with. Crashes happen but by all means, that was a legit unintentional accident. I blame the people who were watching, kicking both of you off is dumb. They should be more concerned about both of your safeties! The polite thing to do is to walk it off and then hope back in. If I was the manager, I would've said something to all of them!

A few years ago at the Arizona location, i had a really nasty crash. There was a hairpin turn that was at the end of a straight and i just hit the brake slightly too hard and i spun out sideways bringing me to a complete stop. About 2 seconds later the guy behind me going full speed tboned me. It didnt hurt much but his cart ended up partially on top on mine so everyone freaked out lol. They asked me if i was alright then i was back to racing. Its dumb how you got kicked out for something minor like that.

Can you feather the throttle in the electric karts? Also, I'm not sure why you would be kicked out over that incident. The spin was partially obscured by the pole and flag guy. There was very little time for you to react. I don't believe you acted in an unsafe manner--it was just racing incident

the marshal wasn't even waving the yellow flag so not your fault atal

kinda bullshit to throw someone out for a wreck they couldn't control. it was a blind corner and that guy was sitting in the racing groove. i know they have policies about horseplay and being rough, but that was just an accident.

not your fault. Btw your a good driver

Rewatched it a couples times; no fellow flag, no intentional ‘drift’, no reckless driving. I can’t see anything wrong with what u did. Hope you got your money back xD

Drive flawlessly with no mistakes Guy infront makes a mistake and the refs don't warn it. Due to that you bump into the kart. Ref "sorry you need to go" Fallout guy:Excuse me wtf?

Honestly there really wasn't much that could be of been done to avoid it. You shouldn't of been kicked out. Unfortunately every center runs by different rules and tolerances.

Nothing wrong on your part, no flags and that pole obstructed your veiw

I'd ask for money back or something, could of shown the video to them and they would of been in the same situation.

What did the official at the end of the video even say?

This video is unnecessarily long for a 40 second incident

Thats some incredibly awesome pov driving footage.

This looks exactly like the K1 I go to occasionally, are they all the same?

Not your fault at all, there was no yellow flag or anything. Nice driving !

If you got thrown out for this, the guys running the race must not have been paying attention, heard the noise, and assumed you were to blame (though you could've braked a tad earlier or just gone around like the guy behind you did). This is actually a fairly common karting incident, especially with weekend crowds, so that's definitely overkill by removing you from the race. Karting places tend to be really inconsistent with their assessments of individual situations, but in my opinion, the guy that spun out in front of you should've gotten a warning to be more careful and you probably should've received one as well to pay more attention to what's going on in front of you instead of kicking you out.

Was that at the Dublin, CA location?

I don’t think the flagsman really understood the laws of motion

Same thing happened to me at our track last weekend. There's nothing you can do and it's a pretty hard hit. Although I knew, it made me realize you can get hurt on their karts. I would've let this go assuming both of you guys had been running clean the whole time you were there. I think you were, don't know about the other guy.

stuff like this (that is, showing their employees making incorrect assumptions) is probably why they told me i couldn't use my action camera last time i went (houston location)

The guy had just spun so the marshal didn’t have enough time to wave the yellow flag because u were close to him so i dont think we can blame this on anyone

Did you show the footage to k1? And is so, what did they do about it?

It's obvious you attempted to avoid him so it's definitely not fair either of you were kicked for that.

NOT your fault. That flagman was watching the incoming traffic on the other side of the track giving his back to the your turn that he "supposed" to be watching ! he never saw your crash. DON'T let stupid things like this makes you stop racing because idiots shouldn't slow you down !

Did you get in trouble or did they just want the karts?

Where was this at?

I just went racing at K1 and literally got RUN OVER (as in, his kart ended up on top of me before it stopped), and they still didn't kick him out, or really reprimand him in any way. The way it happened was someone pit maneuvered me and then the guy behind him apparently didn't think to use his brakes and went quick enough to end up on top of me and my kart. No apology, no real concern whatsoever. Have some gnarly bruises. The steering wheel mount was completely broken from it.

That was neither one of your faults, just a genuine mistake! Unavoidable, definitely did not deserve to be kicked off for it...

Wow you must have been doing at least 10mph ..... impressive

Watching this over, the red padding on the post totally obscures the view of the spun out racer until the last second when Nathan spins into him.

How is that your fault

Bad workmanship here. Nothing was signaled, and you cant even see the kart stopped until he rounded the corner. I have raced at K1 in Orlando,FL and its fun, but overpriced

Are you in Austin?

So the guys spins in a high speed corner, the barrier and flagmen stand right in the view of the apex, and they say its your fault?

Hows that your fault when there was no yellow flag??? It was a blind corner with no warning. Clearly you tried to avoid the collision

I’ll never go there....

Is that the one In Austin

How fast do these go

I really hope you got your money back this wasn’t even your fault the guy didn’t wave the yellow flag.

Why do the tracks suck when i watch these? Like i've been in alot better indoor tracks!

They've really changed the layout in Austin since then, twice actually. But from the last one to the current the changes aren't as drastic. I never raced it on the layout you did, looks fun, now they have a lot of fast to slow transitions not so many turns. Fastest lap for me in the last layout was 28.616, on the current track 32.699

How fast are these??

Its why K1 and electric karts suck.

Man Hahah still looking forward to your next motovlogxD

What location is this

I've had that happen before. After graduation, a couple of my friends and I went to an indoor go-kart track to celebrate. One friend spun the other one out in a blind corner. I t-boned him right as I was getting back on the gas and apparently broke some pieces off of our karts. We were allowed to finish the race in 2 mph limp mode but were then made to sign papers afterwards saying we would not sue and would never ride their go karts again. They closed down anyway so no big loss I guess.

I rewatched this multiple times and I couldn't see the other guy at all until it was to late

So wait did he just get kicked out of the race or out of the whole track

Wait why did you get kicked out?

dude nice control on corner entry u were really rockin it

I don't kick out people when this happend. They are wrong. Why did they don't switch off the kart ?? (I work in a go-kart place in switzerland)

Bad mic... what was the reason!

So did you show them this?????

lol is that the one in austin too???

The corner marshall not only did not wave the yellow, he was not even watching his corner.

Was wanting to check them out, thanks for the warning

how many Cc's?

any new content on the monster? been a while since you posted a Moto vlog hope to see one soon.

I work at a K1 Ive yet to see anyone removed even after a KART ON KART more times than I can count. Even after grown adult racers aim their karts at smaller racers. I finally found out and started the rule to be put on a green square to run at the highest speed you must run at our track consistent non bumping or slamming/crashing into barriers/walls/other Karts to obtain the Top Speed Green Squares. Had the mother of a small daughter that was tall enough to race to the smallest inch within the limits. First lap at speed the mother slammed into the daughter hard hit. When we got to her she was dazed then convulsed. Shocked told the mother who didn’t even turn to her daughter to check on her then calmly said oh she has epilepsy. We asked do you wanted to check on her as we had the field stopped. She replied no you can push her off the track so we can race. Again it was the Mom who wrecked her. Pushed her off into the pits allowed her to sit in the kart in the pits until the race was over sat with her giving her water and cool wet wash cloth until calm. Because I have a daughter I pictured my daughter sitting there. See the just big enough for the adult karts roughed up and like the before in this beginning of this post get away with it. I started my daughter at 5 in Orlando at Lil 500 she went threw each graduation to fast karts family owned track knew and practiced the limits in speed when racing with smaller children because of Father Don Schmidt Sr & JR and their daughter. Not a “CORPORATE FACILITY” but family run. Being in Orlando have numerous indoor and Outdoor tracks and facilities. They are practice safety the same even the K1 of course in Orlando we have much kart racing within 20 minutes of each other. Never felt endangered more real racers and regulars. Those who didn’t were and still are removed and noted on their information in the computer systems. Why I only race at the outdoor tracks in Dallas Ft Worth. It pains me jobs a job I do all I can to keep them safe. I dare say this doesn’t go in Orlando Tracks nor the tracks down south near Miami or any track in Florida.

so you got kicked out for not seeing the other person? Or for crashing the go-kart? I've spun out once and got away with drifting a little bit. But for you to get kicked out for something that was an accident?? That's not cool. Which location was this?

You were turning them corners clean brah

i had a very similar type of deal at wilmington where there was a bunch of us going nose to tail through a fast part of track the slow car in front of our nose to tail group spun. first guy stopped short of me and I went on top of him but I didn't get kicked out. It must have something to do with the people that were working there.

The wind is the best thing about this video

I wonder how often they change the track layout because the track looks a tad different. But my fastest so far is 32.217

The moment he crashed the other dude did a hella good drift

That Austin tax location?

No flags, that was real dumb. Not even your fault. Anyways, nice vid man!

agree with all - totally not your fault. great driving!

I think they got mad because he drifted so hard and for so long but you didn’t create any problems and you didn’t cause the crash.

Good thing you got this on video. You didn't do anything wrong.

You were fine !! I went once and I did not know how to drive because every time I stepped on the petal it would drive so fast so I was scared to crash they stopped me twice and told me I was gonna break it and get kicked out if I didn’t stop lol

Haven't been to the one in Austin but was just at the one in Orlando there very fast and the steering wheel is harder to steer than I thought

it seems like k1 tends to have less than great marshaling at some locations. i had an experience recently in denver where someone two karts ahead of me was going slowly and got a blue flag, let the person directly behind get half a kart length ahead, then overtake them and ignore persistent blue flags and pit signs. didn’t get a black flag even though they directly ignored the stewards and the basic rules of racing.

Im back 4 years later thanks rona

As someone who works here, he did NOT get kicked out for driving recklessly or anything. He got kicked out because the accident was pretty serious and is what we call a Kart On Kart. It is policy for when a Kart On Kart happens, to pull the drivers from the race. Sadly no refund.

Last week, at the Toronto location, I’d gone wide through a hairpin after the long straight+ fast right hander to pass a car that was on a different line…once I passed, the slower car apparently tboned me at high speed, he didn’t get kicked, Marshall saw me shake it off and drive off, gave the guy a stern talking to, and that’s it. How you could have avoided that accident is beyond me. You should have shouted : MICHAEL, IT’S NOT RIGHT!

Nice corners well done.

Yesterday I was racing my dad and in the first race, I took a corner WAYYYYYYY to hot and hit the wall so hard you could hear it from across the track (K1 Littleton Colorado

Are these electric

He kicked you out? For what? I missed something! You were amazingly cool about it. I would have been pissed!

is that in salt lake city

Was this the kid karts ??

Why I stick to pole position

The same thing happened to me. Also, my lap record for the Austin 28.7

Looked to me that column with the tyres on it was a pretty decent blind spot and this was just a racing accident. They could kick the column out but the building would fall down.

I worked at k1 in Dallas. As long as there's no kart on kart no One should be kicked out. Make sure both parties are ok and continue the race.
