Craziest Mini NASCAR Backyard Go Kart Race! What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before the race begins, drivers fine-tune their go-karts. This involves simple tasks like checking and adjusting tire pressure, even if only with a basic truck tire gauge. The presenter humorously notes having inflated his tires to 30 PSI instead of the recommended 20 PSI to avoid needing to add air later. Drivers also don racing suits and helmets for safety, even for these smaller vehicles. Finally, they prepare to load their go-karts for the official start, lining up with other custom builds like a 'Rusty Wallace Miller Genuine Draft' car, a 'Blue #43 STP' car, and other Indy-style or stock car body karts.

Goal: Ensure go-karts are ready for the race and drivers are properly geared

What they say

I think we don't have a tower home. We're going to do our best. Now, we got to set this tire pressure. I think Rob set around 20. I put 30 in them just to so we wouldn't have to air it up. We don't even have a real tire pressure gauge. We just have the one that's in the truck. So, whatever it says is what it says. All right, that works. Bro, you got to buckle me in like John Force here. Yeah, buckle me in. John Force is more uh buckled than this. You may not be the fastest, but you will have the most fun. This is absurd. This is stupid. This is great. It's cool. You could like scoot the seat back and like put the roof down. Where did you find this thing? Um, bought a go-kart for him and uh the guy asked if I wanted the body that goes with it. I knew nothing about it and then he brought it out and I was like, I got to cool. Yeah, this one fits you a lot better. Yeah, you should have made a little trailer so you could pull the other one around. It's already ass heavy. Like when I'm in it in the yard, it'll pull a wheel. So if I put any tail weight on it, tongue weight, I think it wouldn't turn at all. How do you feel about all this? I painted it and I picked the design. So, I'm good with it. Oh, here comes the van. Oh, he lost the tire. He didn't even make I thought he yelled started a fire. I thought so, too. I thought someone said fire. I was like, no, not the van. We can't lose that. He lost the tire. He lost the tire. Yeah. Oh. Oh, the body's off. I thought the wheel was falling off. It was just the body going Oh, we're about to go out to qualify. Feel weird putting this on to get in that, but you know, safety. Exactly. You never be too serious. Okay. You want me to go straight up there? Yeah.
