That last kart I had in the pic was the best one I was in. CRD had it prior and you could see him catching people put of the corners. Last turn onto the straight, I made a pass to the inside of someone getting onto the straight, and every other time I gained big time through the tires and would pull next to them at the top of the hill headed into turn 1… but you stetchy ass’es would jump at a chance to turn down to close the door so it was a no go. lol my back is still kicking my ass, and my hip is about a 6X3 inch purple patch from the hits! fucking blast!!! would smash, again, and again. ---

I forget. Anyways, for next time- I’m going to see what I can do about improving the qualifying process as well. I felt there was room for improvement there. I’m thinking to have one or two rental karts fitted with some kind of timing equipment and have people do one warm up, then a flying lap for qualifying next time. Then grid based on lap times. If we can’t have timing equipment, we should get someone who’s not racing to use a stopwatch, although I’d prefer not to since it’s not that accurate… ---

Basically, if we are limited to say, two karts to get the qualifying laps in for gridding position, then everyone has to get a good time on those karts only and it would even things out. I also thought of drawing random slots for kart numbers for the racing itself, since people tend to gravitate towards what they think are “faster” karts… Sure a straightaway dog is something you can spot easy, but what handles worse for one driver is better for another, since the thing that most impacts handling characteristics (given tires are similar) is going to be the seat position. Also, if we could have timed laps to determine gridding, it would then be easy to give a weight handicap, for example, 0.05 second per 10 lbs over 150 lbs or something like that. However, all of this only helps with qualifying, it’s the actual race where you see who takes the right chances and who is too aggressive (and jacks out accordingly). ---

i felt like the karts were so different that it was more than just a seat position, im sure the tires were more glazed than others and alignment was a bit different here and there, some of the karts had serious understeer like the #3 but others would turn on a dime and even oversteer like hell like my last kart… its going to be hard to make this really tight archie i think just going out there and having fun is the best way to do it, the only thing i’de try for is timing equipment somehow… i wanna see if i can bring my lap times close to waynes or not oh and my back is fuckin wrecked… srsly ---

Single heaviest object in the kart is the driver, about half the weight. Shift that weight one or two inches backwards or forwards and you can set the handling characteristics right there. If you were in a “long” kart and didn’t use the pad to bring you up close- sure as $hit it’s gonna understeer since F/R distribution leans more heavily towards the rears.
