Cameraman: Hints: Stay zoomed out fully and don't whip the camera around. Causes dizziness and nausea for the viewer. Pretend it has a broken wing and nurse it as you turn. Try to live through the camera so you maintain proper framing. If you really want to go wild, put the camera on a closed tripod, hold the rig from a few inches down on the tripod shaft. Poor mans gimble. If you'd like, I could talk one of the car builders into making you a steadi-cam... (thanks!)

Front suspension in old cars looks lovely

7:38 Is that the chassis for the Hannibal Twin-8 from The Great Race?! I thought about doing one myself, but I never imagined building the actual scissor lift mechanism. That is totally wicked!

great video i restore vintage British motorcycles for a hobby but building one of these is my goal and paint it like WWII Spitfire

Local gokart clubs should run these afew times a year. There tracks are only used once or twice a month.

That looks like a riot to drive mate! I’m just welding up the frame on my first build and can’t wait to get it to this stage :)

Everyday leaps of faith

Good stuff Ben, what a hoot!

almost trump rally crowds

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🙏

Reminds me of the 72 Riverside CanAm. On the fourth lap Donahue came past I told my brother I was going to get a hot dog and coke and I would be back before second place came around.

What a hoot! It’s on my radar for next year. Terrific post Ben.

Hi Ben, just rote you in another video, but pls let me know if you’ll share infos about the Karts. Im here, on instagram and facebook. Also under my others profiles - Photos By Michael Pennerup. Me and a buddy like to get started, but want to get off without all the beginner faults, like you say in another video. Thanks for sharing and enlightening us of this becoming hobby here in Denmark. Hope to hear from You. Mickey

Good stuff Ben! Hey you may want to look into a bench mounted throat less sheer. Very affordable and FBMP often has them used for $100. For trimming aluminum in the thickness we do it’s a breeze left or right, you can slice an 1/8” off very easy.

Be more fun on a dirt track. Really drift and slide.

I think the T 10 was the best static line parachute. It had a quick descent but other than that it was reliable and to me much safer than the new parachutes. Unlike today we rarely had streamers or mae west partial openings.

Fun!

That looks great fun!

Thanks for the video, fun with friends, always enjoyable.

Looks like a great time! Hard to understand just how much hill there is? Good stuff, good post.

Machte auch 3 Sprünge aus der c130 und ch47 mit der 10.th special force groupe airborne (Böblingen)über Nagold und erwarb das us springerabzeichen…. Unvergessen „airbooooorne“

Absolutely gorgeous builds!!! We need one of these out here in the East. I am planning own moving back down to Florida or South Carolina and am really thinking about buying enough land to make a race track similar to Goodwood where we can have cycle karts, cycle Cars and even larger prewar racers that anyone who owns one can come and join in the fun. I am thinking about a dirt track at first and then see if we should go to asphalt or cement. Great video my friend....My plans right now are starting a KZfaq channel and using the machine shop I have assembled to make parts for my Restomod projects. The first one is a 1928 Morgan/MG special 3 wheeler with 4 wheels. I am building a supercharged opposed twin engine from an experimental aircraft. I am casting an adapter out of aluminum to mate that engine to an MG 4 speed manual gearbox connected to an MG differential with juice brakes and beautiful wire wheels. It is an aircraft cloth stretched over a wooden frame over steel sprayed with plasticizer for durability. It will have a Brooklands style Boat-Tail and look exactly like a 20's airplane without a propeller or wings. The next project will be a Boat -Tail Pembleton style cycle car with a BMW R-100 turbocharged opposed twin also mated to an MG 4 speed manual gearbox ending in a 10 bolt limited slip differential and either ceconite covered or mild steel or aluminum painted dark sanguine red or British Racing Green. I am recovering from getting run over by an F350 on my 1957 Harley Panhead and I will be starting as soon as it is warm enough to work outside in the barn here in Pennsylvania. Hope to see you there ....I will be calling my channel Machines and Motors tentatively...

Ben your house and property is beautiful! I want to move out there and built an Earthship. We should build a Goodwood style race center so that we could have events like they do across the pond...

Very nice!! New Subscriber here.... I am starting a KZfaq channel with the build of a 1928 RIP GN/MG restomod special 3 wheeler with 4 wheels. I have been assembling a decent machine shop so that I will be able to make any parts I need for this or any of my other projects. I am planning on starting this project as soon as it gets warm enough to work out in the barn shop. It is a 1928 Morgan with a wooden frame over steel and an experimental aircraft supercharged opposed twin engine. I am going ot adapt this engine to an MG 4 speed manual gearbox with the use of a two part hand cast aluminum um adapter plate. The gearbox will connect to an MG differential with awesome wire wheels. The body is made from stretched aircraft fabric sprayed with plasticizer for stiffness. There is only one 1928 RIP aero 3 wheels with 4 wheels that is currently being raced by Charlie Martin in the hillclimb races as well as the Goodwood revivals in the UK. I plan on taking mine to join in the festivities next year or the year after just like the American doctor does with Ol'Yeller to join in the races. I hope to see you there.

I will be there with my new 1930 Ford Model A Lake Racer Cyclekart Texas Mike

If you point the exhaust to the ground, the ground will absorb some of the noise.

At 1:07 seems to be a replica of Basil Davenport's famous GN Spider II racer in the background. A car that's been at the top of it's game for 100 years. A weird looking but very fast twin.

you can use that metal. just need to know how to weld

Жду обзора в собранном виде❤ (лайк и подписка)

That is a beaut Something different Seen a few sevens in real life Including racers and this is a modern version

Nicely done Ben!

Thank you for the video Ben. That was fun.Love the additional camera views shared too.

That is great Ben.

Cum! What a poorly made video huh? So you only showed little desire to show the equipment. It appears to have been filmed with a cell phone while standing up instead of lying down. 😝😝😝😝😝

Awesome Sport, Amazing Drifts, the speed and the sound🤩 You good sir, have a new Subscriber 😎

Randys flying!

Racing pretty much how it was done 100 years ago.Thanks for the ride. BTW, I didn't know I wasn't still subbed to you.I just thought you'd stopped.

Love it!

You Sir are total Madman but don't change a thing. 🙂 Even with the chains on all four wheels it looked like you were just " along for the ride" at times. Great job on the race and the video.

Looks to be a great way to spend a winter afternoon. Steering input appears to be a mild suggestion on the ice.

I’m just getting started building mine but I really liked #17, who owns that and where can I see more of that build? Great fun!

With that Priority Mail seat cover you will go that much faster....in all weather!

Thanks man! I’m thinking of building a cycle kart over here in the UK, so buying parts isn’t really an option, so seeing detailed descriptions of parts like this is really helpful.

Olá Ben, meu inglês não é dos melhores então vamos de Google Translator rsrsrs. Dou do Brasil e venho buscando informações para montar um modelo, porém qual seria o mais simples pra eu iniciar? Você tem amém das informações medidas para eu iniciar minha montagem? Agradeço e parabéns pelos vídeos e seus trabalhos são ótimos.

wow

Now that's a real man's sport!

nice , thank you Sir :)

Thanks for the shoutout Ben. The brotherhood of builders are happy that you are living the Cyclekart dream! Good looking axle you have there!

I see a LOT of bubble wrap on the parts and then places inside the body. A good shipping company should be able to help you with the crating of the body. They may require you to fully remove any oil and fuel from engine/fuel tank. Kart looks great.
