so as is the case with any go cart…i’m getting the impression here that the cart you get makes a big difference in the times you’re able to produce. any way people can post up their experience with certain carts? maybe get a list going of which ones are good, which ones suck?

and when you go there, do you have any say in the one you get? is it a first time first serve thing…or do they randomly assign you to one that you have to ride?

24.052 today… not too bad for a fat ass.

Thanks to everyone who came out today, you made a great impression for NYSpeed and there should be some additional events and promotions in the future because of this.

I think we had over 35 people there, and no problems to speak of.

Lol, I wasn’t sure which one was you, or else I would have said something.  
I’m super shy, I only talked to skrappar because he came up to me and I wasn’t sure if he remembered me before that lol.

Really had a fun time, I hope to meet more of you next time.  
Any plans for when next time may be?

I had a 24.2 for my best, which I am happy with for it being my first time there, and my first time in a go kart that doesn’t suck balls. I’m pretty sore now, which I wasn’t expecting.

Viper - my fat ass held the kart to the ground pretty well - flat out and no skipping, but it would slide a little.

If anyone wants the deluxe membership. instead of $40 tell Ali / the 1 owner. that you are from nyspeed. and he will give you it for $20.

also. tell him choko said. to add on a free race credit if you paid the $40 if you are on nyspeed or buffaloscooby ’ so he knows ’

I managed a 23.717 which I’m very happy with for my first time.

I don’t want to hear any more whining about being slow because of weight (within reason). Zimmer was running 23.5’s crushing everyone and he’s a big guy.

The larger people aren’t hopping and sliding the corners like the lighter ones are.

Believe it or not i have 25-30 lbs on Zimmer…

I know for a fact I can get into the 23’s with the right kart, but I guarantee I would have been there long ago if I was 175lbs.

FWIW, I was hopping and sliding as much as anyone else.
