i still want to make sure that enough of you will keep attending before i try and rent the whole facility (which will cost more for sure) but will probably have to be on a week night, not a weekend. we would have our own track selection, like we decide what track we want to run and what not. but if you guys get that serious then let me know....
we can figure it out.
so talk of WED this week...... is that okay for everyone? i need to know before i make the new thread.....

What time? I'm down.
I will say that I did notice a HUGE difference when I moved the seat way up and was leaning forward to concentrate as much of my body weight over the center of the kart as possible. I dropped from a 48.2xx best with an avg of 50 to a 47.5xx best with an avg of 48.6 or so. The kart was MUCH more composed when I did that and it seemed as if I could keep the RPM's up longer because it wasnt sliding around and bogging down.

Any advice from the faster guys?
Also, with my car being down and me building two motors, I can't make it every time. Only around paydays.
You gotta know how to drive the faster karts. I drove it and loved it. It does get alot more loose but I like that.
I lean back in the seat to put my ass over the rear wheels more. I don't weigh much so all the extra traction helps.

my seat is usually back all the way but i lean forward as you can see in my pics. its comfortable for me and the kart slides just enough and hooks up just enough to make it work, i never perfected a seat position...... a guy who used to work there DID WONDERS even tho he was bigger than us... (6'3 250 he ran with us back then he had his seat all the way back and sat straight back....) so ionno about seat positioning....
