Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Dum-Dum - 29-12-2011
Will they add balast to the karts of lighter people so that everyone is at the same weight and we dont end up with the usual skinny little runts winning.
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Midnightclub - 29-12-2011
Karts are fairly even tbh, driver skill will make the biggest difference
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Connor - 29-12-2011
They don't do that, but they should you don't notice the difference on the straights, but you notice the difference coming out the corners

Say your talking about twin engined pro karts, they are 2x 5.5bhp engines (so 11bhp) and weigh about 50kgs. If you put one of the skinny little 60kg people in there its a total of 110kg and 100bhp/tonne whereas with me in its approaching 160kg and just 69bhp/tonne, Thats a 30% disadvantage!

You do notice the difference on the straights, Last time i went karting with the missus she was pulling away on the straights.
They should definitely add ballast to the lighter cars as its not just the acceleration that it affects, its also the braking and cornering it affects and on a slightly rough track makes you more likely to ground out on any rough bits of floor further affecting your times.
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Connor - 29-12-2011
No honestly, at avonmouth them main difference was cornering, noone really pulled away from me on the straights, it was the corners
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Midnightclub - 29-12-2011
Yeah theres probably a fair difference in weight between me and connor but down the straights we were pretty much neck and neck

Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Connor - 31-12-2011
Yeah was gonna try and get a 3pm slot, that way it gives everyone a chance to be late and for people who are coming from a distance, they wouldnt be getting home at stupid oclock
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Midnightclub - 31-12-2011
Good plan
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Dum-Dum - 01-01-2012
Sounds like a plan to me
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Connor - 05-01-2012
Right then ladies, this 30mins for £20 offer ends january, so we either go the weekend before, or we pay normal prices. Thoughts?
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Midnightclub - 05-01-2012
Ring them and ask for group discount for feb?
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Connor - 05-01-2012
Actually went in a spoke to someone, not alot they can do discount wise...
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Midnightclub - 05-01-2012
Wut... really annoying, they said they could last time! Full price doesn't bother me
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Connor - 05-01-2012
Ill try phoning and see if the operator can do any discount
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Midnightclub - 05-01-2012
Yeah good plan mate, i've got a feeling they told us to do that anyways
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Connor - 05-01-2012
Thats pretty much a no as well, so looks like its just £32.95 for 2 15min sessions
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Midnightclub - 05-01-2012
Unless.. we go on a wednesday? It's half price still AFAIK
Re: WEST COUNTRY: GI for Karting - Connor - 05-01-2012
