hi fellas,
ive just had a text from the guy who runs the track, would it be possible to have the drivers breifing at 12 or 12:30 rather than 1?

i know alot of u are arriving by train, but u would still be there 1 or 2 hours early. If anyone has any problem with this PLEASE let me know straight away.

my mate has some engines for sale, he came 4th in super 1 back in 2001 and is racing in the world champs this year. i bought one off him and its FAST AS!!! need a good carb tho. If u are intrested tristan, PM me.

U can browse karting.co.uk, thats very good for engines, i saw one on there for about £325 i think, it would just need to be made into extreme spec if it isnt already. Ebay isnt advisable to be honest.

your first engine doesnt need to be anything special, because the higher compression, higher revs etc reduces reliability (as u know) get a cheap thing!

atleast me and alan_dovis will be there for u to chat to about it next sat.

u look at all the replies from the rosberg thing, the real racers say 'yea rosberb was stupid' and the simmers say 'monty was stupid'

everytime in this thread i say that if sum1 is on the outside i normally end up hitting them, i get flamed, but yesterday was a perfect example.

when i raced karts, someone stayed on the outside of me, took me off and wrote his own kart off...
also, i have videos of people not yielding when being overtaken, which allowed TWO people past (i had just been done and the faster guy overtook the guy infront, and i followed him through)

did u see rosberb staying on the outside of monty? thats what happens when u stay on the outside!!
many LFSers do this and them blame me for hitting them...

oh tristan, on the very same page as the bandivitus pictures, check the looking ahead section (3rd article) this was what i was trying to describe to you. that is your biggest problem at the moment.

arosa mike, club 100s are 5 secs per lap slower than a proper TKM man!!
club 100 is only 100cc and has hard tyres, solid chassis and limited revs!!

its a shame that you didnt get those final sessions, because you didnt get a chance to try to be smoother, you hardly got any laps on warm tyres after the 1st session

like i said tristan, you can see how TINY things affect the chassis, and a broken bumper and a crack in the chassis is a MASSIVE thing that affects the kart a huge amount, so obviously it will do funny things, especially when you overdrive it.

it looked to me, like i said at the end of the day that the chassis crack got bigger. maybe it happened when we bumpstarted it for your session???? also, remember we pumped up the front right tyre, so that would lift the inside rear wheel more. im going to take the engine apart so i can see if it seized or something.

like i said on PMs when we were organising it, it would have been better to go on a wednesday. imagine how many sessions u could have done!

but u will be ALOT faster on pro karts. not 0.2, try 0.5, aslong as u are smooth and drive to the limit. u might not think so now but after u drive one and get out and see your times u will be surprised at how close to the leaders times u are.

maybe not close to midget mickey tho...

he was in my house when i typed it

he was testing my 2 stroke

EDIT - Hes already famous lol, check him out

he has m8

i like the idea

al its stilly to send them a email saying u think they are a scammer, they can virus your comp or do some other stuff

best just to not reply

maybe one less, i could pack the seat with foam and see how it goes. pro karts dont skip, and thats what does the damage. ill probs do praccy and see how it goes... man it sucks :S

yea, i would race with it, it would hurt but i could still drive (with very bad concentration around right handers) but if i dont let it rest i wont be able to return to 2 stroke racing, and thats my main priority. Also i might have a condition which could give me a collapsed lung if im not careful.....

im gunna be bored with my week off work but ill deffo be along to the meeting.

went to the doctor today

ive cracked a rib and i have to be off work for a week.

BOLLOCKS :grumpy:

a few times when i did hotlapping in S1, i used to pause the game and swap sides for different corner directions.

obviously a scam.
when i sell things on the karting.co.uk website i always get these.

it usually says something like 'ill get my courier to collect your (10 oxytetracycline barrels) i am relaly intrest in the item and can you tell me your final price.'

lol android awesome post

i used to play it but i gave it up a few months back for a game called ':'

its very good but the graphics are crap. but i suppose the devs wanted gameplay rather than graphics and, as the name suggests its a first person shooter

: for ever!!!!

jean alesi used clutch pedals in his prost in 1999

ok fellas ive given all your cheques in today and its all sweet

unfortunatly for me, ive busted my ribs BADLY in testing today, so i cant drive a 2 stroke kart for 2 months, and i may even be unable to do the race on july 1st if i find my ribs are too bad in the practise session.....

20k is a normal budget eh?!?!

http://www.karting.co.uk/Notic ... ID=3&MsgID=0000254696

20k for one SINGLE 24 hour race?
no way, NEVER EVER
a guy did a race in europe in FA and spent 13k, that was with the BEST driver trainers, BEST mechs, BEST everything.

And if u are a good enough, WELL ORGANISED enough driver you can win without all of the 'rich mans trick bits'!

i think you budget is WAAAAY over erm... budget.

u dont NEED new tyres for practise, engine tuning several grand a year? i thought u said u were doing pro karts not FA?

i know someone who did a season in FA for 9k, and like niki said it was semi works.

My mate races in the world champs and i go along to alot of his test sessions, they use old motors and old tyres, and this is the best FA team in the UK.

I aint being funny but im sure u dont need 20k to do well in pro karts.

Another guy i know did TKM, won the 0 plate, won 3 rounds and came 3rd 3 rounds of S1 and LOADS of clubbies, did kartmasters etc etc and they did it for 9k.
Pro karts is alot cheaper than any sprints. even abroad.

hi, does anyone have a set for this please? im a teamless mouse noobie..
I find the 'normal' sets only just last 5 laps.

race? it was 1 lap man!

i deffo wanna join now! the leader cant drive 1 lap!

can i join please

so u can get more people in your vid

to be honest, ANYONE can make a vid with 1 car going round. whats different about your team compared to others?

genius video tho, i LOVE it. DoNs videos are crap compared, i mean who needs to put thought in when u can just have a car driving around?!?!?!
