Heavier is Faster? // Sacramento MultiGP 4/23/17 Race

Bonus round at the Sacramento MultiGP 4/23 race. We had an amazing time as usual hanging out with the Sacramento chapter. Congrats to Cory and Kyle for taking 1st and 3rd. I squeezed myself between good company and took 2nd. Here's some gopro footage from our bonus race at the end.

Again, I notice that my frame feels faster with the gopro attached. I couldn't believe it, but I'm flying consistent 16s laps with the gopro and even a 15s lap at the end. The frame just hold a racing line better with more mass. Weird? I don't think the mass would make me faster on a super-technical course, or a course with a lot of hairpins. However, on a larger, open, flowing course like this...more mass is better?
