Oh and C: $100 for an hour of driving go karts? I say we all throw $100 into a pool and build a few karts and do whatever the eff we want. Unrealistic? sure but I have better things to buy/pay for for $100 right now. Not saying it wouldn’t be a blast. ---

So we can see how much that effected things. :tong 160lbs… Didn’t work for me, I had weak skillz and was pwnd bad. :-[ I didn’t realize until when I got home, but the print out’s they gave us had the track map WITH the driving line AND brake points! If I’d known that sooner I might of done better. ---

I do a quick lift for the first esses to rotate the kart. Second esses is the only real braking point. ---

> [@JClark](#): > > +1 > > Huge difference. You heavier guys in the 32s are the equivalent to the lighter guys doing 31s. In that case I weigh 250ish… Wayne was kicking ass, especially when considering that he had to work through all of us idiots each race to get a clean lap in. ---

> [@JClark](#): > > +1 > > Huge difference. You heavier guys in the 32s are the equivalent to the lighter guys doing 31s. True… Straight power to weight the disadvantage can be real bad, but since the track was not as “technical” as others it wasn’t as much of a liability since there was a good flow through the track… I’m thinkin’, the karts weigh about 190 (guessing heavier than regular race kart due to seat adjuster, etc)… So with a 180 pounder that’s a race weight of 370 up, if it’s a 9 hp engine you’re at 41 lb/hp approx… If you weigh 140, and you do the same math, you’re at 330 up and closer to about 37 lb/hp. Big diff in power to weight, like 10%! Again, this is probably a bigger deal in accelerating out of corners but of course more weight is a liability in max speed around a turn before you lose grip too… ---
