    Not only are these GoPro videos very cool, especially for a ‘wall guy’ like me to get a sense of what you all experience first hand, but they are a great teaching tool for those teams like of us who like to travel a little but don’t have a track like this readily available. It was nice to re-aquaint with the racing line before we set sail south. Regrettably, we hadn’t visited Thunderhill since the 2003 Grands, and even then it was in a Rotax, so it is obvious how helpful all of you GoPro pilots in our class structure are to the rest of us technically challenged competitors. Please post your videos of the West layout as I don’t think we are going to make it in the fall to see for ourselves. Yes, I am a little jealous of those of you that will be there to christen the new track! And FWIW, our first RRGN was at Thunderhill and it was awesome! If there was ever a chance to run for a Duffy at that track again, well,  I’m just throwing out hopes and wishes……..

    That wasn’t a love tap, you came across our bow. That is the only way that kart would react like that. It looks as though we were attempting to take the inside line, a line you wanted as well and there was some incidental contact. There was certainly no malice or intent. I’m not sure why it was mentioned. Let’s remember that save for the bench race sessions over a couple of cold beers!

    We were getting some wild wear on our right front. Wear like I’m not used to seeing. Then again, we don’t run in this kind of heat. Since we haven’t had catastrophic failure, we are going to chance it with MG’s.

    No one can seem to open the first race video as it is listed as private. I would sure love to see this love tap  you are referring to.  Fix your video so all can make their judgement as to what happened, if anything.

    No Mike, I am just a mechanic, a fan on the sidelines. I work for Todd Olson.

    While I am sure Greg Jaime is a fine gentleman and an excellent competitor, the 82 you were refering to wasn’t him. Facts are also that the 82 in question was from Washington, not Oregon. Next time we are  down or you come north, lets make it point to introduce ourselves to each other

    Please allow me to make a correction to your post. While I am sure Greg Jaime is a fine
