Listening to you describe breaking TWO records with the same voice as describing terminal engine damage is one of the true unique joys of your channel!

Congrats on the hats! You didn't buy them by having someone build your ride, you earned them, with good friends by your side. That is the dream. All hail the algorithm.

Sorry to break it to you but the record for the world's fastest carbon fibre ham sandwich goes to a Boeing 787 Dreamliner manufactured on a Friday afternoon in November.

Holy shit, matt. Not only are you officially Superfastmatt, dude you built the world's fastest 1L/500cc streamliner. And it wasn't even close. Congratulations.

You could run 4x 125ccm Kart Engines. The newest one has 60+HP. So you should have a minimum of 240HP on 500cc when the setup is right.<br><br>You just needed a costum crankcase.<br>250cc Karts run a V2 with 100 to 130HP

it’s not the destination, it’s the friends you exploited along the way ❤

Seeing the Foreshadowing Matt show up got me nervous but seeing the old engine come back to set a record of its own was incredible. Congratulations man, you deserve it.

I don’t know why, but when the original engine came back to be the hero of the 500cc runs I got a little emotional.<br><br>Congratulations Matt! Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.

Volunteering for events often goes unnoticed and rarely applauded. Kudos to the team that makes these kinds of events run the way they do!

Hey Matt, is there any reason that you're not using a Lifepo4 battery? It would probably save a decent chunk of weight vs that lead one.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvq26PAVBlw&t=428">7:08</a> seeing that Foreshadow Matt only has one shadow and not four... my disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
