Squids invade the G-Kart Track every other Thursday!

thats a great schedule.

 

Hey, we are old men if the contusion on my back is any indication! The kids really take to it though as ZZ put in extra sessions and hardly broke a sweat
so I suggest next time everyone bring the kids out.

The place is a ton of fun and after a 20 minute session, a pretty good work out but if you pass only one Kart the entire time, it's worth it.

Not as bumpy as "regular" tracks where we've run Endurance Karting so at least we dont get beaten up too much. Next time I'm bringing a foam seat insert which should keep me from sliding around so much.

I've already set my goal to get my lap times under 21 seconds next time, my best time was a 21.4 so theres a ways to go especially when you see that the best times are in the 16's.

Yeah, hard to imagine getting into the 16s but according to the read out, the fastest guys that day were there.

I've got an interesting burn mark on my right elbow and the contusion on my
back is not getting better. Next time I'm definately bringing rib protector and foam seat insert.

Just off the phone with Johan. Endurance Karting had a huge event at Charlotte (Lowes Motor Speedway) and the margin of victory after a six hour race was less than three seconds.

In E.K., you run 15-20 minutes then hand off to your team mates. It's doable if the track surface is smooth but as we saw at Start Racing and Bradenton, those bumps will kill you fast and after a couple of hours each bump is a new adventure in pain.

When we do E.K. at Moroso, I suggest bikini massage girls in the paddock for between stints. It may not help the pains but it wont hurt either!

Which track were you guys on?? The one to the right (the first one when you go in) is supposed to be the fastest) and the best time I heard from there was a 19.2. And that was from the event coordinator as well as a friend of mine who works there. I was puttin down sub 21 second runs after my first 5 laps...its not that hard if you can master that hair pin turn and if you have a clear track. If you have to pass someone and you're stuck in the turns, forget it.

I never ran the other track, but I got many compliments from the guys working there after the 30 minute session. Even my girlfriend, who I didn't think would be fast at all was running 23.5's and passing almost all the guys on the track!!!

I look forward to coming up there the 13th and meeting some of you!

 

We were running on the right side track and, yes, the whole key to that layout is how you handle that Hairpin.

We talked with the manager and he said they could open up the whole
facility so we could incorporate both tracks into a single layout which sounds
really fun as well.
