With the 2024 Quartersnacks Cup now in the history books, our correspondents Joel Popoteur, Big Hen Dawg and Father Bop (chiming in from 13 hours in the future via Tokyo, Japan) gathered together to give an analysis of what went down, where the smart money went, and where hearts were broken.

Really enjoyed this twenty-minute dad cam edit from the Quartersnacks Cup. The angle on the last races between Nick and John is especially great for a different perspective from the other HD or iPhone videos you may have seen.

Godspeed, John ❤️
