I think 2 weeks is really pushing it. It will be hard for most to get off of work and for some to get the cash. I saw we plan a bit farther ahead, something like 2nd or 3rd weekend in January. That would allow more people to plan, get off of work, and get cash together.

And Tommy I don't care if you are lighter than me... I wouldn't mind getting a penalty for spinning you out. I will just drive very hard into the turns... then wave bye bye.

Coming from the shortest guy that ended up wearing a 12XL or something like that.

If you look at the finishing order it was pretty much in order of weight. I think we were all pretty even driver skill wise.

i dont think im too dainty at 210lbs. mich doesnt look much over 150 if that. corner speed, staying off the brakes,taking smooth lines and not squealing the tires is the biggest factor. Those little motors dont have the HP to get you going again after a mistake. If they made us start from a dead stop the big boyz would have a huge disadvantage, but they dont.

Yea, thats true...So if you gotta big a$$ drive smooth i guess!!!

I know... I can take it. I'll admit it... you whooped me. :-( and the cobra would too... but thats ok. Twas fun...

As for next time... I have about 4 people who would be cool to go the second or third weekend in january. Gives them enough time to save. What do ya think??

rocco79 · (#235 (**permalink**))

That might work... Will have to see

SixVi6-Camaro · (#236 (**permalink**))

From what I was seeing. The Karts keep a lot of cornering speed when they are driven smoothly so the heavier weight guys didn't have much disadvantage if they drove smooth and clean. But deffinetely from what I saw when the heavier guys scrubed too much corner speed or spun it took longer to get going again.

I'm in for a Jan event.

FreeRideFrosty · (#238 (**permalink**))
