awww come onnn! I came back to pro this year, its gonna be a party.

gotta make sure everyone's tie rods are tight, some of them may take some adjusting

I'll do tech at event #1

that makes me want to return even less - that really sucks

I dont understand how they're staying so busy, the karts are garbage now - massive understeer and nearly a second slower than they were when they opened, and the management/employees are not the sharpest tools in the shed. I haven't been in a while.

re-used a y-pipe section from the old exhaust, which connects the headers to the rest of the exhaust, and had them weld up cheap new aluminized tubing with a muffler at the back.

FWIW I had Kar Kare in fountain city weld up a 3" exhaust for my E36M3 racecar years ago - worked great until the welds on the hangers broke and it dropped onto the deck on track

STU lookin pretty good for next year although the mustang crew got an even bigger bump

Should have the STU Z pieced together enough to go run events relatively close by come December Wait..... we will?! :lol: http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/17/175799c510e8e1497dc3a0fd4635b9b8a1d8c267ebbf9cef89fbd5d24151a864.jpg subframe this weekend... get that fender straightened out.. front suspension ...

is the Chatt event at the mall? It's an easy enough drive and the courses aren't bad most of the time - worth going to if the weather is good.

6.5 hours is a little further than I'll go for local events, but thanks for the info on wiregrass.

Anybody know of any autox's in other regions within reasonable driving distance this winter? I'm talking rest of November, Dec, Jan, Feb?

Jed Peterson has the fastest time btw - 24.751

We typically go wednesday or thursday nights for buy two get one free, earlier in the evenings are less crowded, we've gone at 6ish lately.

Being a solid rear axle, karts actually depend on lifting the inside rear tire to rotate, so I'd say the big fellas probably have even more chassis binding/hopping. FWIW Ive noticed hopping on most of my fast laps, seems to happen when the tires finally build some heat. Im down to a 24.877 after 9 r...
