Re: VLR tires 2024

I know the object of the exercise is to control cost but lets look at this from another angle. Optimally, a new set of tires every race day will give the best performance. That's 11 sets If we say you run 2 races on a set, then that's 5.5 sets -call it 5. 3 races makes it 4 sets. I find that the 3rd...

Re: Enduro 2023

The jist of the sheet that was posted on the weekend is that each entry must be comprised of: 1 Cadet 1 Jr 1 Sr/Master 2 Stroke 1 Sr/Master 4 stroke Class weights apply. Let me climb up on my soapbox and put on my "Mr Positive" cap for a moment. This is a good way to get people to get to k...

Video Editing Software for GoPro

What's everyone using to edit their GoPro footage ?

There has to be a better way !

Re: Enduro 2023

Bryan (Club manager) mentioned at the last race that he had some "new ideas" for the Enduro. As this race is only 2 months away, it would be a good time to float them so we can get feedback and decide on a rule set. Personally, weight limits and requirements for new drivers, for example, w...

Re: Race 8 photos

Great !

I have a nice camera with a good lens (but not a lot of talent) but since Alex and I are on track at the same time (VLR), i can never get shots so these are very much appreciated !

Re: Do young karters make better drivers?

Alex was driving (karts) at 7 and racing at 8. he's definitely a "spirited" road driver (jack rabbit starts and late braking). In the summer, I d say there isn't much advantage beyond that I think he watches the "body language" of other cars better than others. In the winter howe...

Re: Preferred Hotel(s) in Strathmore?

That info -along with a bunch more stuff- is under "competitor Info" then "General Information" on the club website. I started it a ways back for one of the big races and it seems to have been kept up to date.

Re: Strathmore Motorsports Park Sim Track Project

Another case of excessive rules and regs killing a good thing for club members. Add this to electric bikes/scooters and bringing your friends to the track to drive your kart.
