there were a couple turns that i just couldn't get on the right line - and those carts were very unforgiving when you lost rpms..

I watched about half the video, and it looked like you were passing people left and right...

I actually wore my padded cycling knickers. :icon17: They helped make those hard plastic seats marginally less uncomfortable. It's the vibration on acceleration that would get me, though. I wasn't pushing it hard enough, and weaker acceleration made the kart shake like crazy.

What I would have given to be your height in those karts... my knees were in my face the entire time :icon17:

One of the few situations where being shorter could be considered a good thing. :p It bit me in the bum at first, though - I didn't know you could adjust the pedal distance and so I just pulled myself forward with the steering wheel to be able to work the pedals.

Dee, you missed a really fun event! You would've had a blast. The best part (for you) is that you would get to drive a vehicle that you don't have to pay for the ga$.

Seriously though, it was a blast, you should try to make it next time! :driving:

eastwest2300 04-29-2013 11:22 AM

hahaha.. you guys.. have all these gas jokes..:bowrofl::bowrofl:

eastwest2300 04-29-2013 11:24 AM

Yeah, it did look like a pretty good time. I spent all day Saturday & Sunday messing with exhaust gaskets and GTmat'n the Z.. Im running out of it..

I hope you come out to the next karting event, Dee. It was so much fun. You'd have a blast.

I'll bring three memory foams next time. 1 for butt and both for sides as I slided side to side every turn.

4r3s 04-29-2013 12:52 PM

Next time I am going to actually check my calendar before saying a certain date will be great. Hopefully we can get one more of these in this summer!

Thinmking about 20mm spacers. Possibly a Berk system as well. We'll see. The more I hang around this group, the more my wife dislikes you all! :rofl2:

Just kidding, I don't catch to much cr@p from her about the car.

You're thinking the Berk system? I'd tell ya to shop around, listen to different ones.

b1adesofcha0s 04-29-2013 02:35 PM

What's wrong with the Berk? :stirthepot:

I've been listening to some on line. I plan on checking some out at ZDayZ as well. That is a good place to get around different systems and follow them to hear what they sound like.

Since this is my DD, I am not interested in droning!

m4a1mustang 04-29-2013 02:53 PM

No drone with the Berk or the Invidia. I think I'm getting Invidia for mine.

You could have heard one at the track if you stuck around a little longer :p

Where was I when you spotted me? I checked out the damage to the Cobra, turned in a oil filler cap that I found in the road (not good for someone!!!) and stopped at you car for a few. I had to go register for Karting, so I left. I'm guessing you were coming out of the classroom as I was pulling away.

I've heard the ARK and it is not for me. My neighbors like me now and I'd like to keep it that way! :rofl2:

Yeah I had just walked out of the classroom when I saw you.

This guy. Although it certainly wasn't through the "smooth" method. More the "brute force" method.

I started cleaning up my laps a bit towards the end of the final season, and my best was 64.1 seconds. Apparently, someone about 175 lbs needed 62 second laps to use the 250 karts, so I'm close.

Randy and I have a leg up, though. First timers we may be, but our skills from elsewhere translate very well...
