First time in 65MPH TaG karts || Atlanta Motorsports Park
I got to test drive TaG Senior karts for the first time yesterday at AMPs 1B karting school! The school was basically just hot laps without much (any) instruction.
The instructor was in front of me and we weren’t allowed to pass when driving TaG. Earlier in the day we drove LO206 karts with passing.
@0:00 pit out
@0:59 lap 1 (60.07)
@1:59 lap 2 (58.04)
@2:57 lap 3 (58.30)

@4:53 lap 5 (57.89)
@5:51 lap 6 (58.00)
@6:49 lap 7 (58.26)
@7:47 lap 8 (57.87)
@8:45 lap 9 (60.06)
@9:45 lap 10 (57.89)
@10:43 pit in
Max speed: 65.6 MPH
Track length: .77 miles
Max lateral accel: 1.5-1.6 g (steady state)
Max FWD accel: .4-.6 (hard to tell bc it’s bumpy)
Weather: very cold
Driver weight: 190lb+ with gear
Data Acquisition: VBOX Sport attached to helmet
Camera: GoPro Hero 3+ (1080p @60fps)
I was calibrated to the rental karts here at AMP (after driving the 10hr Enduro in Oct). Driving the rental karts is all about keeping momentum. Stepping up to TaG was fun because I had to adapt the line/technique for the power. I never quite got a late enough apex in turn 2, and the turn 9-10-11 section (hairpin into esses). I’m sure there are other areas to clean up.
Notice I caught air in turn 5! For example @8:08 to 8:11

Amicaloa River (Edge of the world) GA
Note: Video is raw with not editing and audio may not be great neither. This video is intended for you to have an idea of the place and area, and for you to decide or not to make plans to explore it yourself or get in touch with me to put a group together and all of us have fun.
Amicalola River Trail/The Edge of the World/…it goes by many names, but whatever you call it, it’s awesome. This large outcrop of rocks makes the perfect picnic place, complete with swimming hole, rock slides, and all out fun.
The trail is 2.9 miles long, but I’ve never hiked the whole thing yet. The rocks are the draw. From the parking lot, head down the stairs to the trailhead. You’ll follow the new ADA-compliant boardwalk for about a half-mile (my best guess.) When the boardwalk ends, you can catch a spectacular view of the rapids from a small observation deck.
Don’t stop here. Follow the rough-terrain trail for a few hundred more feet. It will split, with the Amicalola River Trail following the top split to the left. You want to take the fork to the right in order to head to the boulders.
Directions
In downtown Dawsonville take the circle at the courthouse and continue west on GA 53.
Drive few miles and you'll pass 183 and a sign to Amicalola. Keep on GA 53 few miles after you'll pass the sign of the Atlanta Motorsports Park. Continue draving on GA 53 few more miles. Right before a bridge (Of Amicalola river) parking lot will be at your right.

Atlanta Motorsports Park Go Karting Pass and Fail
Well as listed in the title, this was at Atlanta Motorsports Park in Georgia not too far from Atlanta. The race was against my cousin Josh. I passed but eventually had a drift and lost a lot of my speed down the hill. This is an excellent track by the way!!! The elevation changes made it one of the best carting tracks I've ever been on!
