Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - FreeRideFrosty - 11-19-2005
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.

I think weight plays in but not as much as you think... Just my opinion
Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - squirrel - 11-19-2005

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

Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - FreeRideFrosty - 11-20-2005
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??
Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - rocco79 - 11-20-2005
That might work... Will have to see
Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - SixVi6-Camaro - 11-20-2005
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.

Six, How did the vid come out??? Worth seeing ???
Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - FreeRideFrosty - 11-20-2005
I would be that guy scrubbing speed... (With my knees wrapped around the steering wheel)
Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - SixVi6-Camaro - 11-20-2005
dunno how the vid came out.. I was just taking the video It was Kevins camera.
Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - rocco79 - 11-20-2005
Ohh... Hey Kevin!!! Hows the Video!!!?!?!
Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - MX_KEVIN - 11-21-2005
its alright. after some editing and music it should be pretty good. Im trying to cut it to less than 10. theres 45min of footage. speed up the racen, slow down the dancen. I LMAO when George got his boobies pinched by rich, then continued to play with em while doing a little shake down.
I have a sick inlaw that I was helping this weekend, but im about half way done.
?? where can I host tihis thing? Tune, can you put it up on the site? Is there a size restriction or format perferred? i usally make my movies mpeg.
Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - FreeRideFrosty - 11-21-2005

SO if weight's a factor, handicap it, like horse racing, and throw some lead under the seat. Then it's a driver's race.
I'll sponsor my 13yr old to race next time. He loves karts and weighs about 90lbs.
Power steering in a kart? hmmmmmm...... and if I can get close enough to get a look at the governor on the engine.......mmmmmmooooohhhhhhaaaaahhhhhhaaaaa
Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - FreeRideFrosty - 11-21-2005
too bad it's 18+, no power steering, and everything is bolted tight. I even looked at the throttle cable adjustment to see if I could get a little extra juice. It was tight.
:joy:

After further review of the tape I finally figured out how I spun out 4 laps before the end of the main. DAN DAN DAN...what am i gona do with you.

Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - FreeRideFrosty - 11-21-2005
I will need to see the video... I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. Whatever I did... sorry. Most likely wasn't intentional.
Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - MX_KEVIN - 11-22-2005

Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - FreeRideFrosty - 11-22-2005
I know it was. Good times for sure. If I pulled some major "Strategic" move though I definitely want to see it. Do we have an ETA for the movie??
Chicago Indoor racing go-karts - MX_KEVIN - 11-22-2005
