I was surprised how quick the euc’s were on that track. Guy who came second, Ken can’t keep up on our short track here.

When they can hit over 80kph and im topping out at 68kph (as that’s what I’m geared to) it’s not that surprising. Most of the bends were pretty high speed too so you could carry speed easily into straights. Slowest hairpins were still 35kph as well.

First track I’ve been beaten by EUCs (not including offroad).

Yeah but you didn’t look like a goofy ass centaur either so there’s that

Yeah I didn’t realise they were that quick. They usually try to slow our tracks down because they hit their beeper warning things.

Depends what EUC model they are using. There was one of our local guys who ignored his warnings and came off at 70kpm when his wheel cut-out. Thankfully he slid out nicely and wasn’t injured!

No matter how fast you are going on these things it’s still impossible to look cool

And that telemetry was incorrect as linked to phone GPS right Tas? He said he was going over 70kph when he went down correct?

That was a long slide. Glad to see he was dressed for it at least.
