Bummer!!!
1 day a month will be chosen in an attempt to get some momentum going when it comes to getting us karters out on the tracks, so maybe in the next coming months you could join us. :biggrin:

 

[coolnsx]

Sorry, won't work for me. Hopefully next month. Have Fun :biggrin:

Thought you were open that weekend?? :frown:

FYI - There is no BK off of Cherry and the 10. There is Jack ItB, Carl's Jr., Del Taco and Subway.

 

[Si]

Sounds really fun, I'll be there.

 

[ss_md]

I'll be there assuming that I get at least one of my karts put back together and running.

 

[ilya]

I'll be there as long my kart is up and running as well (it should be). It's so close to my house I can't miss out on the opportunity. Probably going to BBQ at my place afterward and anyone on here is welcome.

Looking forward to my first trip out in the Rotax.

Your kart will be done. Testing it this coming weekend.

I might be able to make it if I can get my kart to start up the day before. I haven't start it up for at least 5+ years already.

Heading out towards Calspeed. Cooking lunch for anyone who shows up, even as a spectator.
See you there,

It was a great day out at the CalSpeed Kart Track today. Not too crowded, but enough people out there to help you go faster. John and Ilya experienced first hand how much of a blast recreational karting on a "Real" track with real go-karts can be. You don't have to be a Hamilton or a Alonso, we are out there for fun, not to break any track records.

So dust off those karts and join us next time.

If your kart has dust bunnies all over it and has not been started in a while pm me and I will get your kart running for a nominal fee + any parts necessary. Then you will have no excuses!!!

 

[PKim]

Awe Man, can't believe I missed this!!
Please do another event....soon. :smile:

 

[Si]

Great event, had a blast. Thanks John for getting the guys together, and thanks Scott for getting my kart up and flying.

 

[ANYTIME]

What a beautiful day! Been awhile since I have seen Stepp and Strang. Si brought out his recently reworked kart (thanks to ss_md -Scott). Ilya and myself brought out our newely acquired karts (another thanks to Scott) and Mark Stepp shared his with Greg Strang. There should be details shortly on when we are going to go out again. We will be joined by the 2Wild Karting Crew.
John :biggrin:

Glad you all had a good time, Sorry I missed it but Steve Miller at the Greek Theater tonight was worth it; he was the bomb! That dude hasn't lost a thing, HE WAS GREAT! That said I'll try to make it next time. Everything run alright for everyone? Gil :biggrin:

 

[ilya]

Great pics John. Didn't even know you took those.

What great weather we had yesterday too. Not too hot and a nice breeze most of the time. It's only going to get hotter as we get further into summer.
A fantastic track too.

Thanks to Scott for making this possible for us.

Glad you had a good time too. Hope you, Ryan and Tillis (sp) make it out next time! We are trying to find a date for the next one, looks like around the 21st of August at CalSpeed.

Ilya, John and Si's karts ran perfect. Stepp had an old fuel issue, a quick filter and fresh fuel fixed it up. Then he had a brake piston failure. My fuel tank sprung a leak before I even got on the track. So it took me an hour to fix it.

Si and I got down to 55 second lap times, not too bad considering we haven't had our karts out in a year and a half. Si is 9 seconds from the fast Spec Honda lap times. My times are 7 seconds off the fast Rotax times I would need to add 0.5-1.0 more seconds to compensate for the 45 lbs. ofweight. So I was actually behind 11.5 seconds. Without the 45 lbs ballast required to be at class weight I would need to run in the low 47 second range. I know where I am losing 6 of those seconds, but the other 2 not sure how to pick those up.

Track configuration = Nuovo Length = .75 mile

 

[ss_md]

John - when are we going out again????
