MTP-Madmat

my fastest clean run at 50.464. Was surprised to hear I was lifting the inside front tire through the finish. Would be awesome to have a picture of that if anyone has one.

I’ll start things off with my video with data overlay of my fastest clean run. It was a 41.272. I think my falkens are starting to heat cycle out but I’ll still abuse them until the end of the season. Saturday was a great day on a fast track with close competition in CAM-T as usual.

I thought about that also. There are a lot of light poles in those lots. Also it’s supposed to be torn down and a whole community built in its place in the next few years.

It was a challenging day for me. I definitely need a faster ratio steering box for a slalom heavy track like this. Overall a very fun, flowing fast track.

The track flowed very well and was easy to follow. I did not hear many DNF calls and when I did it was usually a bit too much speed to go on the correct side of a cone. Also there were very few cone hits in the morning. It was very fast, too bad I was having some high rpm engine problems, but I got them figured out just in time for the final run.

Requested yesterday and got the confirmation email today. Super easy to do.

Post up videos here. I’m including my video from September as well that I was able to do a split screen. The in car footage from yesterday got corrupted somehow so no split screen. The September video has both my fast run and also a run that Lance took in my car after he unfortunately broke.

You’re not wrong.

I can’t say from experience since I have yet to ride in an EV, not even on the street, or have not driven one. But what I can say is the acceleration from the instant torque is impressive. That’s something that even some of the best sports cars can’t achieve. As far as classing there may need to be a separate class for EV as they become more common. I wonder what an old American car with a Tesla or other electric swap could do against the normal cam cars?

It flowed well and was very easy to follow. Like lance said us in the bigger more powerful cars didn’t have time to accelerate to limiter before having to get on the binders. The little cars definitely benefited from the sweepers to carry more speed. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next event.

I was hoping to have a fresh set of seats and possibly harnesses to help hold me in. That didn’t happen but I did get a fresh set of tires. I might try to lower the front a bit more but may not get the time to do that and adjust the alignment. So I’ll be driving my Monte pit like I stole it as usual. It will also be nice having my crew chief (dad) out there again.

A friend of mine wanted to go race at octane while in town. I saw an ad for dirtkart on Facebook and we decided to try it out. It’s in Tempe by marketplace. It was a blast and totally different than other carting places. They are brand new and only opened last week so there are a few bugs to work out. Thanks James for joining us. This could be a good venue for future end of season / trophy gatherings. here is a video I put together between me and my dad both running cameras. This is just the first race and I’ll post the second race in the next few days.

that last corner got me every time

Here is my fastest run at 45.420. I’m still working on getting the solostorm data overlay working. My tablet all of a sudden doesn’t like the gopro video format, even though it was fine last month. I’ll post the video with the overlay once I get it to work. It was a great season and can’t wait for the fall season to start. Still have the goodguys spring nationals this upcoming weekend to cap off the spring racing schedule.

Here is my fastest raw time of 47.043 but I hit 1 cone. The opening slalom was proving to be difficult for me as I only had 1 clean run. Great driving Mike and congrats on the class win today.
