Re: Handheld battery operated air compressor

Looks impressive, and I'm sure a lot less hassle than hauling around an air tank.
Any idea how long the battery lasts?

Used Kart Marketplace

I'm considering putting up a bulletin board in the Try A Kart classroom, listing available karts that potential new members might be interested in purchasing. 16% of the Try A Kart attendees end up joining the club, and if we can make it easier for them to acquire a 'known-quality' kart, it should h...

Re: Track Direction

Personally, I like a 50/50 split simply for the variety.

But if we are destroying tires that quickly going in the CW direction, it begs the question, are we using the correct tires in the first place?!?!?

Re: Rookie Advice on Weight Class

If you're a member, and the track is open prior to the Rookie School, you can definitely put your kart on track. If you are not a member, there is a nominal fee ($50 I think) to be a Test & Tune day member. Either way, club members will definitely help you get up to speed. We love sharing what l...

Re: Rookie Advice on Weight Class

Hi Cabel, Spring is coming, just not fast enough! Jack's spreading some great advice. Since it's your first year, I'd get out and practice as much as you can without any weight. When you're comfortable, which might be the first race of the year, jump in the Senior class and see how it goes. If it lo...

Re: New Podium for 2019 - Masters Plus @ 400lb?

2018 Steve Orton 367 pounds - no lead. 8 lbs req'd to meet class minimum. In 2019, I'll be Dave Cameron's doppelgänger!!! Ernie has some great points. The new class could work if there was a restriction that NO lead could be added to the kart for drivers in this class. That would keep it an even pla...

Re: Race Sim - seats?

I purchased a Playseat Revolution a number of years ago, and I've been quite happy with it.
It's basic, but functional. Cost was around $400. I wanted the Red Bull F1 one, but it was far more than twice the price.

Re: Try a Kart Video

Great job there Brent!
I'd love to work with you to create one that we can put up on our Try A Kart page. We'll chat next time at the track!

Thanks for the great effort!

Re: Kart Numbers

Joey @ Overdrive sells the yellow backing and numbers, so that's the quickest and easiest. He's usually at the track most Thursday nights.

If you want customized ones, check online, there are lots of options. godecalzone, eBay, or any of the other specialty shops like JakeDesigns, KartDavid.....
