I'll have to check with the missus as we had the Freo Beer festival in the arvo, but should be able to squeeze both as long as it's a morning session.
If you change to the Sunday that'd be even better LOL

If just using for go karting I would be getting some safety gloves (cheetah or similar)

[monk_13]

^^ mountain bike gloves would also give a nice bit of protection.

Same, I think I have a housewarming and/or Beaufort Street festival in the afternoon.

[Gr3mlin]

Just want something to fit my hands nicely not like the gardening gloves they had.

Might just grab some cheap motorcycle ones.

[Lasoya]

They were actually Riggers gloves they used lol

[Damo 69]

[Sciflyer]

[Sciflyer]

[Damo 69]

[SimonR32]

Warrens do all 3 tracks with the twin engines. This is happening at Wanneroo International not Barbagallo

[Damo 69]

first post updated to make the location crystal clear

[FranZ]

Re: gloves: you can get kart specific gloves; they have more rubber around the palms and heel of your hand and are pretty comfortable. I've got a set of OMP's.

[Scousey]

No way - get fucked - fuck off.

I thought that would get you all excited.

[Lasoya]

Thanks, I'll take that one. Send me payment details.

[FranZ]

Im only bring a +1 now, not a +2 - just confirmed today - he's on call and he has to leave if he gets called out (works for an elevator company - "sorry, just wait til I finish karting and then I'll come get you out of the stuck lift, just dont panic" I dont think will cut it lol) so he's had to pull out.

[Nugs]

16 + Franz + 3 + Brad Dean and its locked out at 20.

Am I one of thse three?

[Sciflyer]

Thanks, I'll take that one. Send me payment details.

Good, we'll need someone to beat Franz

[monk_13]

If I hold Franz down, you can sabotage his kart. We all beat Franz! :p

[SimonR32]

Good, we'll need someone to beat Franz

Or we can just give him some real life Gran Turismo moves

[Damo 69]

Just make sure there isn't any issues with his kart, he got a little angry last night with GT6 connection issues :P

Franz, I believe I had the chocolates over you last time we were at Wanners Franz, will be interesting to see how I go this time :) Pitty you have already pantsed me at Cockburn

[FranZ]

Challenge accepted! Steph is pretty snappy around Wanneroo. Make sure you dont get beaten by her!

[Buckets]

I have prepared for the next round of the Fat Fuc Racing Challenge at Old Faithful this evening to ensure I make minimum weight. I shall celebrate my impending decimation of Damo with a delicious whisky or 5 methinks...

[Buckets]

Inglewood hotel to rehydrate.

[monk_13]

Good day was good.

Not sure how I ended up with a trophy. I blame Phil.

Cheers for organising Damo.

Still drinking now. Maybe I should stop pulling the Emo to bits... :-/

[Sciflyer]

maybe by the time we get bored of this i might work out where to mount those fucking cameras - underestimated how much i tilt my head down again...

good fun again, track was trickier but dudes running the show had NFI (yeah you Mr Crankypants)

[FranZ]

Cheers Damo for organising it!

Back to Cockburn for Rnd 3 please!!!

[S85FI]

Fuck... how cranky was he?
"They're not racing karts karts, They're are hire karts"

Blah blah....

[lachy294]

Thanks for organising Damo! Night race at Cockburn for round 3? :D

[SimonR32]

Awesome fun again! Cheers Damo

Definitely sandy vagina, I'm guessing he has been fielding a heap of shit regarding the track layout and the karts condition.

Cockburn round 3 for sure, better with more karts on the track plus the longer laps

[Buckets]

Time to step it up out of Karts and in to Excel Cup Cars.

[Alt_F4]

Do the Cockburn carts run steering angles as aggressive as the Wanneroo ones?
My arms were fucked after the 9 laps.
Would be nice to have more karts on track too :D

Still was a great day regardless of the grumbling, thanks for organizing Damo!

Same karts! The wanners ones seemed to have a little more go and brakes took a lot more force to use but apart from that they shouldn't be any different. Mind you my steering had a few inches of free play which didn't effect me out on track but through the pits it was interesting.

You need to harden up if your arms were fucked after 9 laps haha. I was talking with Franz on Saturday and when I used to do enduros we ran 45 or so laps (of the longer 60sec track), I think Franz was saying he has done closer to a 60 lap stint.

Props to everyone for the decent racing, I have been with work functions, other car clubs, enduros (with proper kart drivers) etc and I have never had a field as competitive as the antilag group. Race craft was also very impressive!

[FranZ]

I think the karts are overall better at Cockburn; I think they might be slightly newer; either that or the people maintaining them do a better job.

Biggest problem with arm pump is most people strangle the wheel; kind of like the first time you go water skiing. You don't need to grip the wheel like its your c0ck. Firm grip but relax on the straights to have a rest. It is easier said than done though. As Simon said, we used to do long stints, I did quite a few at 40-50mins and a couple at an hour. My neck normally goes before the arms though.

I'll second the race craft and competitiveness...there's only a couple of seconds that generally spread the field - not 10-12sec. If we have a packed grid next round and the 3rd race is reverse grid on points, the first 3 laps are going to be mental! I look forward to it!

[Alt_F4]

Probably just dehydrated, didn't help doing the prac + first session back to back.
I've done much longer stints in carts before, but struggled this time *shrugs*

[MGR]

Thanks for organising Damo, much appreciated. Shame they let you down with not communicating properly as to how many karts were actually available to run simultaneously.

As someone fortunate enough to drive three different pieces of shit I can assure you that steering weight, balance and power vary alot. First kart pulled hard right. Steering was loaded up 95% of the lap with 30degrees of left lock. Likely a twisted chassis. To bad because this was probably the least slowest motor of the three.

Second kart turned right no problem, but turning left bogged down and was very unstable. Rear tyre had slid in along the axle narrowing the rear track and carving chucks out of the inner sidewall.

Was called in mid race for the next replacement kart. Steering much heavier and the wheel was polished smooth meaning you had to grip like tarzan. Most understeer and the slowest motor of the three. Was getting absolutely pantsed through the long lefts and down the straights.

I don't think anybody expects precision race karts but these examples are very poorly maintained and having a competitive group like this really highlights the inconsistencies.

[Nugs]

Thanks again for organising Damo.
Definitely keen for round three at Cockburn with everyone on track at the same time.
Second stint I went off track halfway through the first lap and didn't see anyone for the rest of the stint.

[Damo 69]

To say I am pissed off with warrens UFK is an understatement with turning it into a total dick in the fan of an event.

Will call warren tomorrow to let him know my grievances (was supposed to do today but went on yolo safari) based off his response will dictate if I organise another event. As at the moment I am out of pocket, was a shit event i.e. not what I had booked 4 weeks before the event and confirmed 5 days before the event. Total thorn in the balls.

[S85FI]

Why out of pocket?

[FranZ]

How did the discussion go Damo? We on for Rnd 3?

[Alt_F4]

Mate from work is keen to join for a Cockburn karts round pending dates.

[hEEVO]

Argh! spewing I missed this, haven't been on line much lately, snooze you loose I guess. I take it from comment's that Cockburn Kart's are better?
