So glad we got to see literally the slowest part of a drag race

No camera at the finish line = lame

I love these videos that show a clear winner so accurately. After all, it's what we're all here for. Glad the content creator gave us all what we wanted.

Back in 1987 myself and a couple friends took a wrecked Yamaha Seka 750/ shaft drive and made a "go-cart" using motor, transmission, electronics and some golf cart components. One of those friends had a highpo mechanics shop in Little River SC. Chrome molly tubing frame and we were in the process of fabricating a fiberglass body which untimately our goal was for it to resemble the look of the "Malibu Grand Prix" cars used in the franchise of the same name. I can tell you as a speed freak and motorcycle drag racer, it scared the crap out ouf me lol. Never clocked so i do not know how fast it actually was. All i know is, through proper modification at 60mph indicated it was the same as a trailing car escort on US 17 between Little River and Cherry Grove SC. The speedo read to 160 when it was on the bike frame and it would bury the needle. At 2 inches off the ground 60 or 70 mph would scare you. My bike could do 180mph in the quarter mile. This little demon was at least just as fast. And that 2 inches? Speed was an addiction for me. That little bastard cured my illness🤣

Imagine how fast those little tires have to spin!

No times, no speeds, no results. Waste of time.

Good acceleration!

Does it look like that Porsche is going sideways down the track to anyone else? Illusions of the optical variety. Gotta love ‘em.

It would be great to have a finish line shot so we know who won!

This is so awesome!!! Every viewer has to make a wild guess as to what the hell is going on in each and every race! Nice work!!!

Would have liked to have seen a take from the boom lift and see the finish at least. But kudos to holding it between the lines. Those chainsaws on wheels get sketchy quick with the go juice 🏎💨

That go kart in the rolling start really said ‘that’s not full auto’

these videos need some go pro action so we can actually see who wins. pretty useless without that

Ok the go kart sounds like a tie fighter from Star wars lol

Damn! 🤯That go-kart is amazing.. that sound it makes when it hits it's power-band you just know it's a force to be reckoned with👏😙🚬

I’m so glad the go-kart’s 10 yr kid old was available to video this.

Until you show the finish line, this is a waste of time.

That super kart for all its dangers is still pretty freaking sweet

Driving that go cart has got to be absolutely terrifying

Wife: So how was the track Husband: I got beat by a effing go kart

Some actual results along with pwr to wgt ratios including drivers would make this a lot more interesting!

Somebody send these guys some drones!

I raced a KT100 for a few years. These super karts are insanely quick. I'll never forget on a practice run being passed by John Hamilton halfway down the Ruapuna Straight, I was doing about 140kph and he was doing about 210kph. Still good fun in the KT though doing 160kph with your bum an inch off the ground!

The best race I never saw!

You gotta be either crazy or have nerves and balls to drive a 230HP skateboard!

thank you so much UKposts recommends, that's another minute of my life gone.

Imagine having 1300 hp & getting your checks handed to you by a go cart that sounds like a wasp just snorted a line and is mad about it

Darwin award for going that fast without a roll cage. not an if, but a when.

It's ridiculous that anyone would even be surprised to find a cart beating the cars. You've got 230 HP in probably less than 300lbs, while the Porsche is just under 3000lbs, and the Audi S4 is even worse at around 3600lbs. Meaning, in terms of power to weight ratio, the Cart is probably about 0.76, the Porsche is 0.43, and the Audio 0.3.

Usually there’s a monitor recording speed and time over a set distance. It tells how fast in speed and time it took each vehicle to go from A to B.

This whole video is like a potentially great movie with NO climax

I can't imagine how fast things must feel being that close to the road!

The power to weight ratio on that go kart must be phenomenal!

The most amazing thing to me is that the kart is hitting the rev limiter constantly. It blows through the RPM range that fast. This thing is capable of more than we're seeing. I'd love to have one of those. Wonder what the cost would be for a kart like that. Gotta be cheaper than the porche right?

Have u ever been smoked before Porsche Guy: yes I by a go kart

I had a friend 50 years ago that had a cart powered by dual west bend engines that was very fast. He would go out trolling for cop cars and just run off and leave them.

all i saw was a go cart going down the track and a Porsche goofing off and then stopping.....after a minute and a half ...was no use watching anything else.....useless video

I imagine how it feels being so low to the ground and going so fast

In the last race, I like how it looks as if the go-cart is floating down the track as if a mirage or something.

Back in 1962, I drove a cart (we actually used the letter "c" back then) with 2-Mac 9's on it. 190' back straightaway. Easily hit 85-90 mph with those little hornets pushing that machine. Amazing what they've done in 60 years with them. Love k(c)art racing. It's the best, but only if you're on the track.

Some kind of weird optical allusion makes it look like the porsche is driving kind of sideways, almost as if there was a drive train issue or something.

Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that the kart was pulling away so fast, the effects of the Doppler Effect made the engine sound like it holding almost a consistent engine RPM...

Great filming position. Next time stand in the next county so we can’t see anything at all of what happened.

that radiator looks like something you put in a computer XD

Ummm why are the brake lights on during the race on the cars?

Can't tell what's happening from these angles. What a waste.

I'll never get that 3 minutes back.

Looks like fun, i love racing. I'll take on a challenge at anytime driving my domestic cars. I bought this 2002 Honda Odyssey 6cyl , and to my surprise it has some balls , the engine sounds like a real engine when you're stomping on the gas pedal.

The 3rd run was by far the carts best run. Idk how fast. But damn it sounds good 👍🏽

that cart engine needs some tuning. sounds like crap on the top end

The sound of the kart bouncing off the rev limiter 🤤

WOW! 7 Years ago. Nice to see the Black Audi RS4 Sedan (It's not a S4) of Phillipp Kaes again. I saw his number plates (H RS 88). This "old" RS4 had 1200+ hp at the last evo step. 4 years ago this legendary audi was destroyed by flames. Phil is building the new version (Version 2.0) completly out of carbon parts with the known 3.0 liter V6 (stock 2.9) from the RS4, two new chargers and the air intake of an Nissan GTR. It's almost done and the car will perform the upcoming events this year 2023. Waiting for it with (1500 hp ?) and good luck.

Sorry it’s boring video 🥴

Are you kidding me! another drag race with no finish line. Senseless video

The Porsche driving with the break lights on 🤣🤣

Girl - what car do you drive - me - go kart

Geez, what am i looking at? Its sais VS. Well hell, WHO WON each stint!? Its pointless

I was so excited to see the outcome, but this was trash!!!

Sooo i assume he makes the karts for Mario and the gang😂

This is definitely inspired by those dudes on busy highways. Racing today is very different. Back in the day my brother and his buddies would race down Rand Rd. From the McDonalds towards Euclid. They knew how far the quarter mile was. Those were the days.

A onboard video on that cart would of been sweet. That thing is awesome

That sound is sweet! 🔊

the go-kart's power-to-weight is insane

Nothing better than not seeing the winner of a race!

This is one of the many saving graces of humanity, we do stupidly awesome stuff like this. The cart sounded badass idling. :)

Love the sound - That's about it...

350 pound go-kart vs. 4500 pound Porsche. Fixed it!

Asking to see a GoPro type camera mounted on the cart is asking too much I suppose. 😂

Nice vantage point. You've got a good eye for this sort of thing. I see bright things in your future. With camera work like this you'll get to Hollywood in no time. Good luck you talented guy, you.

Damn, that go-cart is in-friggin-sane!!! I want one...woulda been nice to know who won though

Nice rollbar in the kart, made out of human materials and well attached to the kart with racing seatbelts.

my brother has been racing those HP carts for 25 years in the eastern US racing leagues...they are crazy fast and no problem getting to and maintaining 130mph

soooooo who won?

Assuming 150 mph and 8" tire diameter on the cart, thats approximately 6,300 rpm... the rotation of a typical car tire at that speed is a bit over 2,000 rpm... it's amazing that that small piece of rubber can handle that amount of centrifugal force.

To be fair, it does say, "This video shows you a battle" - not the winner.

He also films the beginnings of marathons.

A Go Kart hits it's torque almost immediately. A "few" years ago (about 60), I was on a Go Kart team. Our Captain had two McCulloch chain saw engines... one connected and synced to each back wheel. We never lost a race. Minute the start light came on- he jumped out front, the rest of us spread across the track and blocked the opponents and the end was said and done. IT WAS FUN!! YourConscience

Wow, such a powerful Cart. Seems to be a lot of Fun. Great job

Those tires are very impressive but what if they were twice the size

I'll never get those 3 minutes back 😢

it struggled to shift gears the first run

sounds like a fuckin ti-fighter from star wars haha

OK, I must have looked away and I missed it when they showed us who actually won the race, dammit, gonna have to watch it again... and again and again

Bro who tf is like : aight uk what, ima make a 230hp go kart

Cool video, but it would have been nice to have a cam mid-field and at the finish line. Some stats would have been handy as well.

The guy in the cherry picker got some really great video.

Why don't we see the finish line for all these races. I guess the winners are left to the imagination. Hmm?

That was pretty fun watching no race at all from the rear

So who won what? no point in showing this without showing the results!!!!

That Porsche needs alignment - it's going sideways =)

It’s been 7 years. Has the channel content improved? Like… maybe show a winner now?

WHO WON !!😱 SHOW IT AT THE OTHER END TOO 😱 WHAT KINDA CAMERA WORK IS THAT!!

THE GO KART ALMOST LOOKS LIKE A 230HP WHEEL CHAIR FROM THE BACK! LOL! BASICALLY ITS A MOTOR WITH WHEELS AND SEAT

Cart is cool, sounded awesome and super powerful. Looked like it had nitrous to Love that cart. Enjoyed the video but allot was not explained. Could have been produced better. Agreed a GoPro or 2, vwould be a nice addition. I'm assuming it was a rolling start... why? Both have the gears. Also looked light the brake lights come on on the car on second run. Race just wasn't setup correctly at all. Hard to tell what was going on. Need to line them up, standing start and run like a normal drag race. Don't know if was a 1/4 or 1/8 mile run. If the cart don't have the gears for top speed, make it a shorter run. Like to see it get add-ons properly.

Bro the Porsche’s alignment in the first race was crazy he was crab walking the whole time

classic race out into the blurry horizon end scene 😂

They have money to build 1300 hp porsche, but no money for good cameras and drones

maybe if we can watch the finish line to see who won would've been better.

I think I heard him hit the Nitro button about halfway down would have been cool to see the acceleration

That cart having shifting problems or were the tires cutting loose at speed and spinning on the first run?
