Whiplash Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm looking at setting up a go karting towards the end of next month if there is enough interest, It will be at the Richmond track as its most central and if we can get enough numbers (approx 30 people) we can look at doing one of the 180Lap races with driver changes. 3 drivers doing 3X20 Lap stints Last time i went (and Ash) it was $45 a head (from memory) Just sorting out work ect at the moment and will be able to set it up properly soon. Once i know if there is some interest i will contact them and get more information like maximum and minimum numbers, cost and some available dates cheers, Nick Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/216138-gokarting-now-booked-for-fri-8-aug-8pm-gepps-cross-50-pay-bunny-by-31-july/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

4door_Sleeper Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 if its teams of 3, can i suggest trying to get equal weight for each team, big fat bastards like me are at a real disadvantage in carts, so equal weight would make it a fair competition.

ashsimmonds Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Thanks to Nick for the headsup... Just take the reins and say a day and time and format and price - forget making it a democracy.

I haven't found that to be true over the course of a race - I went last night and I was 10-15kg over most of my competitors and much less fit, off the grid they get away off the line quicker which pisses me off, but somehow I hold momentum and speed through the corners and maintained a podium position through it all.

ashsimmonds Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 thats called skill, just cause they are lighter doesn't make them better drivers I'd like to think so but there's no need for the pillow talk! The races can become very long and I had a lot of time to compare my lines to someone I was trying to overtake - there's a lot more to it, much of which is likely a series of minor misadjustments on a competitors kart, but there were 3 or 4 corners where I was always massively faster than anyone else that I thought there must be something else at work - like my love of steak!
