Champ Kart Onboard 12/31/12 - Providence / Heat Race [02:28]
Onboard footage of the Champ Kart Heat Race from the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Rhode Island. Tonight on New Year's Eve is the 5th Annual Coffee Cup and Race #2 of the Fatheadz Eyewear Indoor Karting Series. I qualified outside of the Top 10, which meant that I had to race in one of the two Heat Races. I raced in the first Heat Race. I started 3rd and I had to finish 4th or higher to lock in to the Feature Race. I had a great run going and was hanging around in the Top 4 for most of the race. I fell back to 5th at one point, but was able to get around Nick in the #41 kart and move into 4th. On the last lap, the leaders tangle on the front stretch and I almost would have finished 2nd from all of the leaders being tangled up. In the end, I finished 3rd and got into the Feature Race. DJ Shaw in the #60 kart was declared the winner, even though he was in the wreck.

Champ Kart Onboard 12/31/12 - Providence / Feature Race [05:17]
Onboard footage of the Champ Kart Feature Race from the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Rhode Island. Tonight on New Year's Eve is the 5th Annual Coffee Cup and Race #2 of the Fatheadz Eyewear Indoor Karting Series. After locking into the Feature Race from the Heat Race, I started 15th out of the 26 karts that started. This race was a wreckfest. When the first caution came out, I nearly ran into Tim in the #15 kart. When another caution came out, I nearly ran into DJ in the #60 kart and was able to avoid him and the other karts that were involved in the accident. After the front runners were retiring from mechanical failues or crashes, I found myself in 6th place. I was having an awesome run and was trying to deliver Katie and Magic a great finish to give as a farewell gift since Puppy in my Pocket: Adventures in Pocketville was coming to an end today and was removed from the air by Boomerang. I had Katie and Magic riding aboard with me to keep me calm and try to have fun racing. The great run sadly came to an end on the final restart. With the leaders bunching up to close to one another, the people behind me were literally crushing my kart. When Nick in the #41 kart was behind me, he was pushing my bumper so hard, that my seat was being compressed. When I tried to accelerate the kart, the kart did not go. I had to stop on track, because I thought something broke in my kart. The offical gives me the thumbs up, which meant that nothing was wrong with the kart. I was able to get ...

Champ Kart Onboard 12/8/12 - Baltimore / Heat Race [01:54]
Onboard footage of the Champ Kart Heat Race from 1st Mariner Arena in Maryland. Race #1 of the Fatheadz Eyewear Indoor Racing League happens tonight. There were approximately 28 entries for the Champ Kart race. There were two Heat Races splitting the field. I raced in Heat Race #2. I started 4th for the Heat Race and looked like I was well on my way to entering the Feature Race since I was within the Top 4, until my kart gets on three wheels from the uneven weight transfer and hits the wall. I almost turned over, but thankfully, I was able to keep the kart on all four wheels and continue on with the race. With a bent spindle, I had to nurse the kart through the rest of the race. The kart drove great, even with a bent spindle. I finished 6th so that did not lock me in to the Feature Race. After the race, I was granted an opportunity to compete in the Last Chance Consi Race to get a second try to get in to the Feature Race. We only had about 3 minutes to fix the kart. Do we make it in time for the start?

Oscar Pistorius vs a HORSE [01:31]
Subscribe for the latest news from SNTV: bit.ly "Bladerunner" Oscar Pistorius raced against a horse in Doha on Wednesday and won - all in an effort to promote disability sport and fight discrimination in the region. Normally when a horse takes on a human in a race there's usually only one winner but that was before Oscar Pistorius challenged a noble steed to a sprint and it was the horse who came away with a long face. The Aspire Zone in Doha witnessed "Bladerunner", beating an Arabian horse as part of the 'Definitely Able' campaign which uses special events to highlight the exceptional feats Paralympic athletes are capable of. Reporter question: "Oscar, how was it?" Oscar Pistorius: "I think you know, for what it's... it wasn't about who won today, it was just about coming out here and really just showing people that those (people) with disabilities are not to be stereotyped against... Having the Arab horse out here, which is a symbolisation of strength and power in this region... To be able to do a showcase event like this is a lot of fun. So thanks to everybody who came out here, it was a good night and hopefully it will do a lot to change the perceptions of people with disabilities in this region." Several noted athletes have pitted themselves against animal opposition with limited success over the years. Welsh sprinter Jamie Baulch and American legend Jesse Owens have both raced against horses, while Pistorius' compatriot, rugby player Bryan Habana, once ran against ...
