we let it die...

i went out there today and that place is damned fun i cut a 36.3 on my first trip out there
but i didn't really have to try hard i was with some people who would spin themselves out
so i sorta turned it into a drift fest.

i went there a while back.

its wierd getting use to those karts. but yeah, i dont like how they all get bunched up. it is hard to cut a good time with a full pack of racers.

yeh its pretty fun. the steering was so tight i bumped into both walls leaving the pit. hah.

i think i weigh too much though. they bog on accell and the tires hop on tight turns

So if anybody's been karting at a real kart race, I'd like to know how these places compare. I can't help but feel that though it's a descent place, it's only a step up from say, adventure landing. I would like to see shifter karts, personally...

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMIN OUTTA MY MOUTH

6/2/2006 11:50:10 AM

ill probably be at frankies tonight

6/2/2006 12:19:37 PM

My boyfriend and buddy (Rudy) looooove that place. They are averaging at least 1 trip/week now.

6/2/2006 12:41:07 PM

its not that fun. they should try autox. its faster, cheaper, and more fun. albeit more time consuming

"cheaper"

hahahaha not when its your gas, your tires and your car (when something breaks)

race carts are still a bit faster

and these things bog when you spin out of the turn... try not to break the rear tires loose coming out
cause it allows the clutch to lock up and it brings the revs way way way down on the motor.

btw i think we might head back tonight?

^ you're running your car, using your gas (to get there/back and during), putting wear and tire on your car, using rubber.

no, autox is not cheaper.

*EDIT* Looks like someone beat me to it.

you're doing it wrong if you're not having fun. you can go faster at an autox sure. but karting is cheaper & you get to run consecutive laps, not a single lap & then wait an hour.

idk about being cheaper

6/3/2006 10:50:49 AM

me and some friends went a month or two back

it was a tues or wed night i think

there were only 4 other people there besides us, had a great time, but that shit is expensive

6/3/2006 11:04:19 AM

Me and a couple friends were running mid to low 33's our first trip out there. Some old dude in our run group was running 32's consistently.

6/3/2006 11:16:27 AM

yeah i think the owner is the only one in the 32s... i'd love to follow his line around there a couple times

6/3/2006 11:24:11 AM

What do these little toys top out at? I've driven a couple batouttahell methanol carts in the past so I'd imagine that I'd be disappointed.

6/3/2006 5:52:56 PM

they drive enough to get you past the limit on the track... you can slide the rear end out in any turn
thats all i really wanted the lame carts where you just floor it the whole way around piss me off
and i was wrong the owner isn't the only one in the 32s.

i have the whole track down cept that fucking chicane i always lose the rear end on the way out

6/3/2006 6:04:34 PM

the whole track is pretty much one strait line. well 2 strait lines.

then youve got that damned u turn. where the acceleration is slow as hondas.

wait, hondas are fast

6/3/2006 8:13:42 PM

how?

6/4/2006 2:44:53 AM

you can do poorly on the entire course but if you do well on the chicane... you'll beat all your friends

6/4/2006 3:08:36 AM

unless they rearend you through it.....

6/4/2006 3:13:52 AM

there are 2 sections (maybe 3, i dont remember) of the track where you can keep it flat footed through the whole thing.

yeah between turn 1 and the chicane on either side.

6/4/2006 12:14:32 PM

I know a guy who ran a 29.x second lap
