"There is no drifting in marbles." 🤣

Somehow I'm now reading this in Tom Hanks' voice from "A League of Their Own" _There's no CRYING in baseball!!_

I'm Trackin', Truckin', and _MARBLIN'_ this time around!! The slapstick splendid spherical soujourn on Shavano! One thing I've only now noticed is how the racers stay in perfect focus in the "drone" shot as we pan past Flinthead Tunnel onto Runway 3 and then again when the tall rock formation at The Big U comes into the shot--that's super good filming skill!! Ordinarily I'd expect the focus point to get briefly locked onto the scenery. High competitive dramatic action all throughout, I'm full of anticipation regarding which drivers will trade 3 points for some potential improvement in handling characteristics thanks to the GTR speed shop!

I'm cracking up at the intro of the marbles!! 😂🤣😂

the paint schemes on these trucks are phenomenal!

I am enjoying this so much, no two races are the same, anything can and does happen, and the vehicles look great. I'm 63, and find myself cheering!

What a well rounded April fool that was! You had some balls to post it!

Thank you!

My Numbballs are never going to be the same. 😆🤣🤩😎🍺🍺🍺

I caught the mention in the previous video, but didn't expect it actually coming 😂 I've been with the marble tribe for as long as I am with the 1:64 folks. There's something about colors in motion that gets me glued to the action, no matter what the item is.

That marble beginning was hilarious! 😂 Great looking trucks! This will be a very entertaining tournament!

Wow! Thank you gtr for taking one of my suggestions. This turned out a bit better than I thought marbles on this track would since I thought they might not make it over the jump, or one lane would be faster then the other. Dudes that was sick!

More great builds! Love the marble run, that's how I discovered die cast racing, my wife liked the marble races! Full circle for me! Thanks Mark!! Great work!!~

Great racing! Run of the day was that Aussie truck; that first run was smoooooth!

I thought I had lost my marbles when I started watching today?!! Great production and anticipation for all the drivers! Will be interesting how many decide to visit the GTR garage! Hehe, the mechanic must be on good money! Cheers, good luck all! Marc D

Love it! Really fun to see the marbles race and great names for the teams 😂

Bay City finishing strong and flying my favorite number on his automobile! It's going to be a slobber knocker.

Dang it. I was out painting a car so I am late. Let's get into this without reading any comments. Time to see the rest of this group of excellent builders.

Marbles! That was frickin' awesome! The rest of the racing was OK too. 😁 This tournament is gonna be fun.

Someone's been watching Jelle's Marble Run I see

I sure did about 4 years ago. I was totally into it, so it was kind of fun to actually MAKE a race.

I can't wait for the races with the four cars as it has the potential to be carnage. Regardless of the time trial results anyone can win the final. Going to be great.

Your track is so good - watching marbles racing was top entertainment!! Who knew !? Looking forward to the tournament.

Always a good time at GTR!

Good fun, entertaining marble race. Good runs and exciting moments for the drivers. I can see some drivers might want to spend the 3 points for a GTR tune up/adjustments. Great job and great show. "Keep your roof to the Sun". Mahalo! 🤙🏽

I did like the marble race more then I thought... Maybe it could comeback in halftime show. 😎

Marble racing😂😂😂😂 great stuff some nice trucks this should be a great event. Your stuff always good looking forward to this whole thing

Great show GTR!! Can't wait to see the racing.

Duuude I just loved these time trials.. amazing videos and work that you guys are doing with these track and cars❤❤

Yes finally my favorite toy is in a car channel for some reason...wow I didn't know they can't drift😂

A few new observations. I just did a slight drift through the "S" turns onto the runway at 5:15, COOL! Seems like the rear of the truck bounced up on the Scrambler and actually hit the train trestle leg to spin me. The timer display always shows a xx.33 or is it xx.35. Must be something to do with the frame rate. Sorry guys, I appreciate the support but my placement doesn't change. Thanks.

The dream was actually an exciting race

I’d like to see a complete show on the marbles (minus the large one)!

Great Job!!

Oh man the pressure is on!!! So many fast builds! My truck ran well in the last video but didn't put down a fast time.. so how many points would it cost for a dusting of graphite?? 😂 oh BTW the names of marble teams were great! I can understand why you couldn't use Beard Balls!!! 😂

In fairness to the racers, I do give a graphite dusting before racing. Yeah, numbballs is pushing it, so you can see why I abstained. 😉

WOW, Awesome production. A bit disappointed in some of my favorite drivers out there. What did I hit on the scrambler? I hope there was no damage. We shall see. That was a good run though until the "dreaded" Scrambler (formerly known as Egg Beater). How the heck did I get ahead of Sneaky BOB? WOW.I enjoyed my drift on the first race. Way to go to my Mate Marc D. R-Lo of course has to grab the spot light, he did not let me down. G-Force also right up there. Thanks GTR!

The marbles were definitely meant as an April Fool's joke, but I must say, it should be a regular thing (e.g. half-time show) every so often.

I wondered that, too... kind of like when you're at a baseball game during the seventh inning stretch.

It look like the truck that’s consistent will be the one to win. Some great trucks for sure. And it’s funny, me and Lil c were running marbles down our track the other day. That’s the first gravity racing we watched and then on to hotwheels. Funny video. Great job fellas! 👍

I know I shouldn't, but I'm loving this content! Just wondered if it's time for a sprinkling of spring snow at high altitude? Or maybe the white balance will fix it. Keep up the good work...

It will be different.

I wonder if the motion sensor on the timer needs to be raised up. It may only be seeing the tires on some of the cars so its not detecting them properly.

@gravitythrottleracing

You are exactly right! At the time I positioned the sensors, I didn't realize that placing them too low would be a problem. I will fix it eventually.

I agree. Also, the track is too wide at the finish and the "code" needs to be adjusted for sensitivity, However, if it is only tracking the wheels, then it is fair to all. I feel the LED's need some cleaning maybe.
