Note to self don't try putting a tube in the petrol tank and suck like they do in the movies to get a good flow coming out of the tank. Kinda did this and got a mouthfull of petrol. Everytime I burped smelt like Bp lol

You were that desperate for a drink? * Hands Luke some Breath Mints*

A smart idea would have been to use a fuel pump to pump it out, but oh well.

Awesome!

The racing go kart I purchased I found out is an Arrow AX6 with KT100S motor (5hp more than the 'J' motor) ... fresh rebuild and new tyres. The kart is worth 4 times as much as I paid for it. Bargain! Its a good thing when the seller has no idea what he's got.

Identical to this model:

Now I just need to get:

club membership and racing licence - $250

race kart suit - $230

race gloves - $40

race boots - $190

I'm already browsing the kart tuning shops for parts I've also checked my health cover ... I'm all set

Also ... the next SAU Kart Mania night ... you reckon they'd let me bring this out onto the track?

[Krishy]

i dont think you would wanna be bringing that kart on the sau karting events......we destroy half of those karts....yours wont survive either lol

You say that as if I'm not ruthless enough?

You'd have to catch me first too. The KT100S has 16hp (and J motor has 11hp) compared to the Honda motor's 6hp in the Kart Mania karts

Anyway, we all know those Kart Mania karts are rubbish.

You need to grab one of them bike motors of yours and transplant it onto the go kart like this guy

[Inline 6]

you also need to install banana peel launcher and red turtle shell cannon

i now you will be twice as fast as us but you will be coming into lapped traffic....and even if your being lapped, no one likes to let people pass easily lol

Hmm ... you also don't believe I can set myself up for passing manoeuvres?

If I can set my 250cc race bike up on track to pass the 1000cc at Mallala ... do you think I can set up a passing maneouvre with 3 times the power and braking ability an Arrow kart has compared to Kart Mania karts?

once again ruby you are forgetting that we are talking about a SAU karting night.....now you have been to a fair few of them and how many times do we get those yellow flag/lights.....you can pass me all you want but if i dont slow for a corner lookout for a hit it always happens specially the richmond track.....you set a pass on the inside of the other person on the back straight....get the pass done and BANG just because they feel the need to slow down by crashing into you....on track when your racing bikes/cars people dont purposely try to hit you....on the go kart track its on like dodge 'em karts

[Carbon 34]

pathetic wheel lock, don't know about you but I would forget its on my car until it tore my fender off..lol

[typevu]

Soooo... whens the next go kart event?

[Krishy]

thinking of sometime in may would be nice

And you're forgetting the day they'd let a 16hp kart on their track, it would be a cold day in hell

Mmm, been looking at 35hp Rotax karts ... anyone got a spare $7K

[Inline 6]

i think the main thing is its a race on a 1 lane track, last time i had the 3rd fastest lap and we still come majorly last. its more of a bumper car session then a race. the only passes i seen that were clean was a few of mine, but then you have to wait 20min for an opening to get that.

[Krishy]

your glasses were fogging up i think......i managed a good time and some solid passes as well as being involved in some major carnage.....in the top 4 or 5 we ended up being.....

I've driven an Omega KT100S kart around the Bolivar track years ago and they're easily more than 2 x faster than K mania heaps of shit.

[RubyRS4]

Yeah the last night out on karts saw alot of action and fierce racing from the top 4. But yet again, "age and experience" prevailed over "young and dumb"

All in the name of fun however.

I've driven an Omega KT100S kart around the Bolivar track years ago and they're easily more than 2 x faster than K mania heaps of shit.

I'm looking at getting a recreational licence to use the Bolivar track while I set up the kart and see how competitive it might be in a particular class. Its an old kart being an Arrow AX6, but I'm not expecting Mark Webber results. I'd be happy with practice, then going thru the Probation period, before getting my C grade licence and then looking at a semi-serious kart like an AX9 with a blue-printed motor by Ian Williams or other workshop. ... or a Rotax if I can stretch the money that far, and I think I'm good enough.

but I'm not expecting Mark Webber results.

Youll only need to complete the race to surpass his results
