You must have used the shortcut then. Everyone knows that all Mario Kart tracks have a shortcut. Cheater.

This is what happens when you try to get "one more event" from over-abused DTC-60s...

IMO, this is _the_way_ to handle a brake failure at T1...no hero stuff, I realized I was going too fast and took to the grass.

And here, thanks to my poorly aligned helmet-cam is what you don't normally see when driving a shifter kart...the steering wheel/shifter use and cone-proximity.

Where'd you see that?

Did you see Simpson Safety Solutions bought HANS last week?

just messing with ya.

i agree, screw HANS, they are old tech. pretty much every other head/neck restraint system is better than HANS, HANS is the only system that doesn't offer side impact protection. it works fine if you have seat with halo, or side nets. but people are sheep and only buy big names.

i have safety solution Hybrid Pro, i got it when it first came out 3 years ago. like it because it doesn't rely on the shoulder harness at all, it just rely on the lap belt. because it's strapped to my chest, it can technically work 3 point harness, but you don't need hans for 3 point harness cause your upper body move with your head. the R3 can also work with 3 point harness, that's why instructor likes them.

i didn't know that safety solution bought HANS though, maybe now they'll modernize the HANS to keep up with the rest.

way to off. that looked very calm in the vid, I'm sure it wasn't so in the drivers seat. I had a similiar situation in Finbergs EVO and it scared the ever-living **** outta me. I am still a little skurd of that turn since. Same deal with T10 @ WGI when the z06 blew up in front of meh.

Was there any indication before hand that you'd have no brakes? It looked like you slowed a little but. Were the pads on the backing plates?

What group was this with and did you best your previous times? I saw you were getting point bys like WAT and your line in the blub looked different than the one we talked about at the TD event.
