I was planning on entering NASA TT races next year - but after seeing that the Time Trial guys are even more insane than the wheel to wheel race guys I decided to chicken out and just attend beginner pedal cars meets in car parks.

^ No kidding - and that video is of a qualifying run - imagine the fight during the main feature?

Oh - and one more thing, NASA TT has no purse for a prize, I understand its just some faux crystal or pewter trophy... LOL

is that a morgan that he's following towards the end?

and yeah that is some seriously aggressive racing ... dunno if you'd have much fun in there without proper funding if something breaks :o

Jeez. They run everything at these races, don't they? Lol at the Porsche Sandwich.

What was that red car that spun out around 8:30? Looked like an old endurance race replica.

I can smell it, it smells like brakes casserolle!!

sorry but for me to do something like that there has to be a huge incentive at the end, something like a cash price or a Danika Patrick/Katy Perry sandwich

I really thought he was going to cook the tires, but somehow they lasted...but that is some impressive driving, it looks like the stuff that people only do in video games, just insane...

Finally got a chance to watch that video..

GOD DAMN that looks like fun. Amazing he can push so hard, get the adrenaline pumping, and still hold it together.

Further proves you must drive your car over the limits (getting it sideways under braking) just to learn to control the car at all instances... cause in a race, you can't be as clean cut as you want to be. Mad driving in a mad car.

What an intense video! I really need to get out to a NASA track day even if only to spectate.
