No workshop tour, no spec rundown, just a helmet cam and a lap of the neighborhood. Tony Burns strapped a GoPro to his head and drove his green Arachnid around the block, and it is a quietly great watch.

The twin headlights framing the shot, the suburban street rolling past. It is a good reminder that these karts earn their keep on an ordinary road too, not only in a field.
