im thinking of doing that as well
last weekend was way too busy....it all depends on how things go this sunday i guess
the thing is tho i would also like to have some good competition and it looked like there was some pretty fast guys out there last sunday.

ya bob did say most sundays wont be as bad as that one but still... i'd rather race and win on mondays then get half as much practice and loose on sundays
so since theres a few people going.... how do you guys handle that turn after the long straight? like i want to not brake but you really have to i tried just cutting into that turn but i didn't ever really get a clean run through it from other people spining...

i dont think you get that tired though... .cause the 2 hours of practice your not driving the whole time... i think you go in 5-10 mins runs.... then the 15 lap race wouldn't be to bad either....
i'm in the heavy weight class... a buddy of mine is in the lightweight class....
what day did you pick?? i'm on sundays not sure which sundays though

the best thing to do thou I think personally is choose a non busy day like mon or friday and if you cannot make it show up another day.. but if u can make the non busy day u'll be getting ur moneys worth...

you basically have to hold your line going into the turn and alll the way thru it...get all your breaking done before and hit the apex hard
the breaks on those karts are crazy tho...in that first turn somebody spun out rite in front of me as i was tailing them...when i slammed my breaks the damn kart wanted to throm me out....good thing i could keep contrul of it. it takes some getting used to.
but bob said that every time out we will be racing on another configuration of the track.

i found i had to brake for that turn... you hardly need to on the banked turn either and that mid course right handed turn no need either...
last sunday i was coming around that first turn and some guy locked up and spun right in front of me to i swirved into the mud to avoid then i smoked the curbing coming back on course... then my car was a slippery for a few laps after...
anyways we should all hit up next thursdays practice or something

I thought we were allowed to pass in practice... like if someone is in front and he/she (probably a she) is slowing down traffic behind him/her then I'm pretty sure your allowed to pass... maybe I'm wrong but in our brief 5 minute sessions everyone was passing and nothing was said

my policy is:
pass first, ask later
if i get in **** for it, whatever.
i'm there to PRACTISE, not drive like a granny. if i don't use that chance to run to the limit of the kart, how am i gonna contend during the race?

i passed many times last week at our first day... its stupid not to pass cause your just gonna all get bunched up... i never knew this no passing rule in practice though... it doesn't make sense... maybe like the first lap of practice but all practice would be weird
