Re: Going to race karts on Sat.!!

Are you talking about 250cc shifters? Cause those are the only karts that I know that can do over 150mph, the 125cc barely do a little over 100. And if so, is it similar to this?

These karts are similar to a 165hp bike so the acceleration is more or less GSX-R 1000 like plus way better handling and braking.

The guys that tune my car race karts on the weekends, and they are going to take me this weekend so I can race with them. Sounds like a kick *** good time, they do 0-60 in 3 seconds and go 140 mph!!! That is CRAZY!! How many of you guys do this too? The karts can pull insane Gs in the corners, its supposed to be the closest thing to driving an F1 car. I cant wait!!!

don't see how you'll be driving with him on saturday since it's gonna be a race event at the track. i suggest taking a beginner class before, since all of Dan's karts don't have rev limiters and are easy to blow the engine. you might want to go with him on sunday to willow springs. see you there. hopefully Allen can make it as well.
i dont know why he would have asked me to go as a novice if I wouldnt be able to race much. he was adament about me coming, told me I am going to have a blast all day long. i sure hope he wouldnt put me in a car that i could easily blow the motor on, but i dont think i would do that, i am a pretty competent driver.
