Palm Beach International Raceway. Went down for the Ultimate Shootout and there was some downtime between rounds so i went and hit the karts.

80cc Rotax Karts, im in the red kart, my (inexperienced) buddy steve is in black. I scared the s*** out of him with this move to the point he almost spun out as you can see. we were coming down into that turn full throttle at about 75mph. Doesnt seem fast until you realize that your an inch off the ground without safety harness lol.

One miscue and it all went wrong for us about 3 laps later in the chicane on the backside though. He tried to go to my outside on a quick right then left chicane, and i slammed my brakes cause i knew it wouldnt work, instead i slid into him and caught his wheel and got air, went over him and landed upside down. Bent the axle, broke the sprocket and chain, and cracked the case... THANK GOD FOR NO-STRINGS-ATTACHED-RENTALS! hahaha
