Veloce on Saturday night?

Post by MARKP »

Some of us are considering heading over there to do a little karting on Saturday night around 7pm. The more the merrier!

I've decided they need a 200+ lb bracket!

Yes! I'll have to be careful not to lose too much weight though...

Can't make it. Tyler had band competition the next two weekends, so we are not in town.
After that... I'm in

I've got some races saved up but I can't make it this sat.

We could create a pax based on weight, especially if we were to get JB, Mark, and myself all to run the same night.

light/middle/heavy

We'd have to bring a scale and take ourselves through impound. :D

Funny story.

Cathers, McCoig, myself, and another buddy of ours met up there the other night. Some smaller fellow(read: 5 4" ish 150lbs soaking wet) just got done running a 25.2. Apparently he worked there, or some other kart place.

James asks - "nice, how much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking?"
dude - "oh, weight doesn't even matter man!"
Me - "OHHH really? that's great.... :roll: "
James - "uhhhh, I use to race karts, like rotax and shifter karts, they are always pretty stringent on weight down to the pound."
dude - "naw, we had a 315lb dude set the fastest lap one night at *yada*yada*"(I stopped listening)

Then some other discussion about how heavier ppl don't bunch as much and it doesn't effect corner speed or something. I thought I was in a real-life KCE thread or something.


James ends up running a 25.0 and I run a 25.3, so I guess weight DOESN'T have anything to do with it :lol:
This guy would have a hell of time explaining to any race organization of why weight doesn't matter.

Also, if he's on here reading this...... you're wrong.
