How did the night race go? You drink beer? We need to stand over the kart in my garage and drink a couple while I bounce questions off ya.

zpeed · 2007-08-21, 11:51 AM

We did great at the night race. Both me and my son finish 2nd. Woo-Hoo my 1st shifter trophy. Last time was about 10 years ago in another class.

Joeyy · 2007-08-23, 11:32 AM

After I sell some stuff, hope this will be my helmet for next year. Arai SK-5

zpeed · 2007-08-31, 08:14 AM

We'll go out and practice on Monday around 10 to noon. Do you want to come and play?

Joeyy · 2007-08-31, 12:37 PM

I have to work all weekend but if Sunday night isn't to crazy I'll stop by.
My kart isn't ready but I have plenty of questions. Would you PM your cell phone.

Sorry, I missed you Nat. Another fellow was at the track at 10am so the gate was open. After a little hassle with fuel flow I got her up and running. It was nice to get it out on the track. I need to move the gas/brake pedals back or move the seat foward. Did you make it out in the afternoon? I'm off next Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon. If you'ld like to go to the track please let me know.

zpeed · 2007-09-04, 08:11 AM

No Sorry, I did not make it out. My wife have emergency plan "a Labor day sale". Next 2 week is air race so they will close the track for safety for 2 weeks. NNKC have a race on Sun Sep 23, so Sat will be lots of people practice. I should be there Sat afternoon after my normal training.

Well im looking into buying a Kart as well. Are there still races going on or are they all pretty much wrapped up for the season?

Joeyy · 2007-11-05, 08:48 PM

Sorry, I can't use the word K#$* until post 1,000. Maybe after post 1,000, we can talk.

wrxkidid · 2007-11-05, 08:52 PM

This season is over. Start again next year around March. But I not go out til the weather warmer like 2nd or 3rd race. I get ready to winterize my kart.

What kind of kart are you looking for 80 shifter, 125 shifter, Rotax? What kind of racing auto-x, sprint, road race?

wrxkidid · 2007-11-06, 05:34 PM

Im looking for a 125 shifter for autoX mostly. Seeing as I have to sell my car I might as well buy a toy.

100_Percent_Juice · 2007-11-06, 10:42 PM

^your going to need to make the lift a little more narrow for the kart. Also you will need to pad the entire thing with 3" foam.

Joeyy · 2008-01-30, 01:11 AM

Yep, I'm over 1,000 posts so I'll go back to talking kart.

Monthly meeting for the kart track is coming up next Tuesday. Between having the night off and just getting paid, I'll be putting down the membership dues for the kart track. Hope the weather gets a little bit better soon so I can start turning some laps.

zpeed · 2008-01-30, 07:43 AM

Let me know before you going out there. We can play catch-up.

Joeyy · 2008-01-30, 11:45 PM

Sounds like fun. I don't think I could keep up with ya but I'll try anything once. What class is your son going to run in this year?

zpeed · 2008-01-31, 07:55 AM

Still looking for a kart for him. I want him to go to Gazelle class but can't find any use one. So maybe get stuck with jr1-2cycle. Which has a Comer 80cc engine. The same engine in the kart that chase you down at the track in your VDO.

Joeyy · 2008-02-18, 11:37 AM

Out at the track Sunday morning just to watch and attempt to soak some knowledge into my thick skull. Tell you what, 110 octane burning through a 2cycle in the morning is like heaven. Love it!..

wrxkidid · 2008-02-18, 03:55 PM

Nothing like napalm in the morning! O wait...

Joeyy · 2008-02-20, 11:23 AM

Work day on the kart. Up for today, re build brake master cylinders, fuel filter and majority of fuel lines. Hope to ready the next time the weather brakes for some track time.

zpeed · 2008-02-22, 12:16 AM

Next week we'll meet the guy that gonna sell Jr. kart for Turbo. I'll be out there but don't know what day yet. Still have to wait and see the weather.

Joeyy · 2008-02-22, 12:28 AM

I picked up my key to the gate just the other day. Picking up my brake parts and new fuel tank on Monday or Tuesday. Looks like most of next week will be nice. I can run almost any morning before noon if I get all my parts in on Monday.

Joeyy · 2008-03-04, 12:59 AM

Dude, it's alive!... Brake master cyllinders done, fuel lines done, fuel filter done, nemesis black paint done and a garage full of smoke. Yep it's out to the track for the first time in 08, hope I survive.

MikeK · 2008-03-04, 10:29 AM

That looks fun as hell. And by fun I mean suicidal.
