24.118 today, it is possible for us big guys to get low 24’s and 23’s. Just takes the right line, and the right kart. I still haven’t been in the fast kart (#3 and #16) I set the 24.118 in #13 I believe, #10 isn’t bad either.
We had the first experimental race today but they goofed the start, so we have no record of who finished where. I started 9th and finished 5th…I think. The unofficial finishing order that we have is…
Zoomer (Randy Zimmerman)
2)Dozr
3)Art
4)99_civic_si (from 10th!!!) in kart 18, which is rarely used, he says it’s like lightning
5)eMKay (me) kart #10, pretty quick kart
6)Russel
7)RX3
8)Itagaki
9)I dunno
10)slow ass kart (Cky89 I think)
11)ditto (iksho89 I think)
bottom two spots are normally fast guys in crap karts, so the kart you get makes a big difference.
Cart #9 23.6 was my best, and I really don’t think I put a CLEAN lap together.
On that 30 lap mini-enduro. Cart #18, if you look at the print out…cart #18 times weren’t on the sheet. I had a spin in the beginning too so you would blatently see which times were mine. I think my times were dozrs on the sheet for sure. And I’d also venture a guess that in the areas where I had no traffic, I think I ran faster that what I did in cart #9 because I think I had a lap or 2 that felt really CLEAN. No way of knowing obviously without having the time on paper. FUN place, that 30 lapper we did was awesome, would be better to make it 50 or even 100 though.
I want a go with only a few other racers and cart #18…IMO had the best overall feel steering and speed. Cart #9 seemed to have a lot of speed (easy to keep up the R’s through the twisties so it doesn’t bog, but the ass end slid quite a bit) Cart #18 seemed to VERY easily keep the R’s up throught the twisties without bogging, and seemed to not be so ass happy. Cart #18 felt a little less forgiving when you fucked up a line compared to #9, but the overall grip seemed to be better especially at the high speed sweeper. Either way :tup: But damn, my back hurts.
