Well that was fun, I'm glad I got talked into the extra races.
Here's hoping everyone else made it home safe and unsoiled.

When Robin's kart ended up ontop of Alexis.
I'm thinking I'll wear my armor next time, then the seatbelts will fit better and I suspect won't feel like I was in a fight the next day.
Amusingly, it does take at least three karts to get one on top of another.
I still have yet to figure out where to put the username we created on sign-up, but at least if you put your 'racer name' into here you can get your kart number and some extra stats for all the races. (Exact spelling and capitalization as the race slips)
Are the pictures and video coming or do I have to link up on the Facebook?

video quality went down the crapper along the line somewhere, but here is a vid.

It says 360p, should be 720p.
Watching your video makes me wonder how the hell you ever passed me.

Great vid.
Sorry I couldn't hook up with you guys.
Was there earlier in the day.....good times and fun rides. I was very impressed with these cars considering they were electric. Will definitely revisit again.
Glad I was able to warm up the cars for you.

Working on it. Made a video but it's 28mins which is too long for youtube and it is losing quality when I encode it.

Ok, here is Part 1 of my video(in HD):
[video=youtube;fBS64Tt5ixY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBS64Tt5ixY[/video]
Click the 360p button and change it to 720p or 1080p for better image quality.
Here is Part 2(in HD):

Very cool!
Great vids from the Gopros. I guess ya brought your own helmet with it mounted.
Kinda hard to recognize you guys without your regular rides
Did all the carts seem to have the same speed ?
How was the throttle response (full throttle or did ya have to modulate it at all ?)

We all brought helmets, why use theirs?
The cars were all very similar, despite some minor handling quirks and differences. Modulating didn't seem to make much difference for me, if the wheels were spinning from too much power they hooked up quick enough.
Close, you gotta stab the brakes sometimes to induce the oversteer and then try to minimize the wasted energy with countersteer and efficient lines.
