Weight is an advantage but it won’t do much if you scrub off speed in the turns. I’m surprised Joey’s not going… I thought he used to race oval karts so I thought he’d be all over this event… Looks like we will have a great turnout, should be a hot event if even 10% of the trash talk comes to fruition. ---

Exactly, if even half of the people who say they are going… go… then it would be a great turnout, if everyone goes then i might as well give them all cookies ---

Too light and kart loose grip. ~160lbs seems to be the ticket in these things, pending tire compound. ---

Idea guys… If we need to split into two run groups, how about we do that with weight class? How about, say, under 200 lbs run together, and the 200 lbs up guys run together? This would help with a couple things: - Cut down on excuses - Free up more of the track (dunno about you but 15 karts on a small track = straight chaos, plus with less traffic you can build more speed… For those wall hits ;D) We can do this only if people agree… I don’t wanna complicate things but thought this was a good idea. Cliff Notes: - Propose Big boy, small boy runs to cut down on excuses and free up track ---

I agree to divide up so not everyone at once. Downside to that idea is it is an arrive and drive. It won’t be just us out there, with say 8 in each group there is still a good chance each group will grow with arrive and drives. Expect 10-12 carts each session. ---

Yea but we wont free up the track, i doubt that, they probably have alot of people besides us, trying to get on the track also, if we all run together we might have a chance of taking the whole track up ---
