That's an awesome video, Eric. Wish I didn’t have to leave early.

Thanks for sharing.

Is that driving or is it setup and hope it stays in for a lap with a blip maybe?

Now driving them for a race distance is impressive.

Blips? We don't need no stinking blips!

Brad did 1,325 laps and ran 1.514 during the race. That's impressive enough.

And with three lanes not so good... I think the best was 191? Well, it makes 1.57 average for five minutes!

FWIW, the record is well over 1,400 laps.

In the two-motor G7 race, Andy Wasserman ran 1,152 laps.

That race is 4 minute heats, so factored out to 40 minutes, he ran a 1,440 lap pace.

I deleted the series of posts about broken links, just to clean up the thread a wee bit.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

That track will get even faster. Those guys that own, operate and run on that track are the best in the world and that track felt like it was just getting broken-in.

The world record lap total is definitely toast, in time. Brad made it look kind of easy.
