SAUWA GO-KART Endurance Race

What: Go Kart Endurance Race

When: Saturday 15 of August. 5.30 arrival for sign in and drivers briefing

Where: Wanneroo International Kart Track (Wattle Road, Wanneroo)

How Much: $320 per Kart (So with 2 drivers, $160 per driver)

Guys / Girls,

We have decided to run an SAUWA Karting event at the Wanneroo International Karting Track. (NOT WANNEROO RACE WAY)

It will be a teams event with a minimum of 2 people per team, with a maximum of 16 teams, so spots will be limited. But please feel free to come out and be a spectator and sledge and generally have a good time at the drivers expense.

The race will be a Le Mans start, and then into an hour and a half (1.5h) endurance race.

Teams will require a driver change through out the event. The event is about seeing who completes the most laps over the hour. So in order to finish first, first you must finish.

These karts are the twin engine Pro-Karts and not your ordinary hire karts, Top Speed is close to 100KMH, and I think Mike and I managed a 98 KMH trap speed. So we are looking for keen drivers that are interested in a bit of competition as well as a social fun day out

Team numbers will be limited to 16, however as many drivers as you want per team. This will also have an effect on your driving time as well if you have more than 2 drivers.

Teams will be competing not only for forum bragging rights, but Trophies that will be presented at completion of the race by our event sponsor, our good friends "Black Sun Imports" , for 1st (Mike & Bard) 2nd & 3rd and depending on the success we will push for this to be an annual event.

Now the serious bits!!

Firstly each team will need to place a credit card down on the day of racing to cover their Kart in case of damages. Now I know that this sounds off putting, but seeing as these are the Pro-Karts it is the only way around of driving them without having a CAMs kart licence. (No clean, smooth driver has ever had any damage, isnt that right NIGE :) )

Payment for the day must be made in full ($320 per Kart) within 1 week of you booking, to me via the bank account details I will give you once you PM to confirm your spot. If bank transfer is not possible for you, contact me and we can make alternative arrangements.

NO BOOKING WILL BE TAKEN WITHOUT A PM TO ME

And once numbers are confirmed, bookings will no longer be taken.

In the event of a no show or cancellation with in 2 weeks of the event no refund will be given as numbers need to be exact for SAUWA to get the group booking.

SAUWA will booking the event for a Saturday 15th August 2009

Start time of 5.30pm or 1730 for drivers briefing. Late entrants will not be allowed to race.

Your Requirements:

Bring your own full faced helmet if you want, (they do have helmets available to borrow )

Long shirt / t-shirt and pants as well as closed in shoes (sneakers) is a must. (Full cover race suits will be given to us)

Teams will require a Team Name and a list of Drivers,

And contact details that can be sent via PM(Contact Details).

My only other suggestion to you all, is DO NOT PIT ON THE LAST LAP FOR A DRIVER CHANGE! :D

Team RamRod AKA Greatest Team in the history of Karting in the world EVER hereby

bans all personnel from going anywhere near Kart 8!

Well maybe they can stand next to it, in victory lane!!!!!!

You are all useless!

B&D Racing have announced that we will field a team to compete at the Endurance Kart Racing Event, 15th August.

In an exclusive interview today team principal Mr. Keets said..

“It would be impossible to mention all of the people without whom today’s announcement may not have been possible, however I would like to express particular appreciation for the support we have received from the FIA Fédération Internationale de L’Automobile, Bridgestone, our other team partners and our many fans the world over. The journey ahead will be challenging but exciting and we know we can count on their continued enthusiasm for our team and its ambitions, we are expecting Keith and Ryan to exceed our expectations and deliver outstanding results, now if you will excuse me I have to grab a couple of beers before the locals nick them...oh and Team Ram Rod are gay, thank you".

weight disadvantage for the defending winners, great idea Bard :P

This coming from a man that went straight on into a tyre wall, instead of making a gentle left turn!

"It ain't the speed that kills you, it is the sudden stop!"

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
