Kart
 

Started looking into karting last night. They have a Senior class for folks over 35yrs at the Reno track. The picture below shows what I'm currently most interested in. It would have a 125cc engine, no shifting and only rear brakes. Next weekend there racing both Sat & Sun if anyone else is interested, let me know. I'll be going out one or both of the days to check things out.

Come by and see me and my kid (Nat & Turbo). I drive 80cc shifter #22 and my son race in Kadet kart #99. We plan to go out on Sat only.

What time do you start on Sat and can we get into the pits to watch the prep process? The wife is very interested and I'd like to get her as close as possible. Chicks that go fast are cool. :cool:

We're going to the BD party on Sat so I'll be racing on Sun now. Here is the normal schudule.
9:00-9:30 Driver meeting then practice after
10:30-11:00 Start 1st heat
than everything run til around 4:00 - 4:30.

They are a lot of fast weman out there. Pit pass is $5 each (that was use to be they might change?) and pit walk is all wellcome. This is a club race so many people are willing to share lot of info. Just don't talk to the guy that kart break down and and to fix it before the next heat race. hahaha :)

Thanks for the update. I think we'll still be going down on Sat. Sunday is looking like a tatoo day if my poison oak goes away.

I went out to the track today. The 80cc shifters put on a good show. The bumping down the front straight was crazy. Talked to alot of nice guys. I only heard a couple of heated conversations after the races. Not everyone was happy with how they were passed. I'd like to get a chance to take a couple laps solo to see how they feel.

You're welcome to try my 80cc shifter, Next time when I go out for practice. You will need a helmet, heavy jacket (jean is ok) long pant and tennis shoe (no open toe).

Thanks, I'll be looking foward to it. Please let me know a little bit ahaed of time so I can get someones full face helmet (I only have an open face).

I'm going out tomorrow (Sunday 6/3) morning around 9-11. Also Friday (6/8) afternoon 4-6, before Saturday race. Call me on my cell to confirm Nat 240-9581.

I'm going out practice again this SUnday afternoon. Please call. Don't for get you need full face helmet, long sleeve heavy jacket, long pant and no open toe shoe,

damn, birkenstocks are one sale!

Hope you did not go out on Sunday!! I'm planing to go out Wed morning.

Nope, the wife had other plans for Sunday. Sorry, I can't come out on Wed because I'm working the rest of the week. Thanks for the invite.

I don't think anyone is really reading this thread but here is my new find. I'll have to crack open the rule book on this one. It has a Honda CBR 600 cc motor and from it's video on Streetfire, it looks like fun.

Is that for dirt track?

It's for RallyX but I've sent them some emails to see if they've done any road testing. I figured with some wider tires and a little work on the suspension it could be magic if sold in the U.S.

Put on some slick and bring it to the auto-x should be a blast.

Anybody have a full face helmet I could use this weekend? I'm heading out to the kart track with Zpeed for some kart introduction. Thanks D-

I have a medium M2000 fullface you can borrow if you want.

I'm off tomarrow at 1500. I can run down the hill after that. Please PM a cell phone # and I'll call ya after work. Maybe I'll take the better half out to dinner in Reno so she'll let me play Sunday morning.

Just remember... every time you breath in, you inhale just a little of what Kevin breathed out. :eww:

Thanks for the helmet. I needed for my three spins but I did not get it dirty. This is a pic of a possible upcoming purchase.

I fully encourage you to get a kart.

Then I won't have any competition next year.

Omission burn! :lol:

Does it come with the Cart? I always thought it was kind of funny that you need a Cart to move your Kart around on... :)
