Enduro 1/5/08 at ProKart Indoors

[Darryl]

The Enduro will be next Saturday the 5th… Arrive at 2:00/2:15 and start around 2:30… New drivers are welcome, Tim said he’d set up the teams… Nothing scheduled next Saturday before the enduro so if the newbie’s want to show early and do a practice round or two they can…

Two different possibilities per Tim at ProKart…

1) 20 people, 100 laps, two per team, 1 pit stop between laps 40 and 60…

2) 30 people, 160 /180 laps, three per team, with 5 pit stops every 20 /25 laps…

About 35 buck’s each…
The list so far…. I’ll edit as new people post…

[SmokingTires]

I'm in! I need the practice!

[zurno]

as long as I hadn't already scheduled myself for somethign else that I am forgetting about, I am in

edit: I just realized what I keep forgetting about that I am planning on going to the awards banquet. SHould be free besides that.

[washburn]

Heh...you guys will be all worn out for the banquet! Wish I could join you.

Wait...maybe I can. Saturday. Hmmmmm. Put me down as a tentative. I've never done it before, so I'm going to really suck at it, but sounds like a ball.

Oooo...just re-read the first note. Practice! Yes!

[EWAustin]

Pat, I didn't know you were capable of sucking at anything that involved steering a steering wheel and pedals...

:lol:

[murph]

sweet, I'm in.

[washburn]

Heh, I have a feeling I'm going to get slaughtered with all the old Pro's there, but I'm in it for a little fun. Hope the old body can hack it from what I hear!

[SmokingTires]

It's easy pat! Like driving a CS car. little bit of hp, no torque, corners great and you don't have to use the brakes much!

Make sure to wear some padding. Last year I did one day in a normal t-shirt and my back was all scratched up.

Note to self, bring sweat shirt

[Darryl]

Bump for a few more...

[magicsammy]

count me in

[AliensRgr8]

I would love to join in the fun as well. I won't be very competive though. This will be my first Time racing since the last autocross.

Patrick Higgins

[Dan I.]

I'm in...

[DaveBahl]

Well, team RDUBAHL'S took second, (TODAY) "I" drove like $hit... don't know what the deal was, track is VERY stickey, I "think" that was my problem... well I'll blame it on that... Randy drove GREAT, like normal, just really lucky the one team ran outa gas on the last lap. DDUB even got some runs in, everyone who's running Saturday try and get there early, watch the WEB as for time.

WAY TO GO RDUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Darryl]

Bad cold and all... I did about 50 laps... Had no plan's to run but one guy didn't show... Had Fun... Good racing and on the very sticky track, Rdub smoked us... Well, other then the 14 year old 90 pounder... That young MAN will be racing a stock car in the spring...

And we need a few more... I need to call Tim at ProKart in the morning and tell him, 1 or 1 1/2 hours...

[Tyro]

I'll join in. Bring full-face helmet?

Jess Meyer

[larry200]

I'll join in. Bring full-face helmet?

Jess Meyer

Yup, bring full-face helmet. And ibuprofen. Lots of ibuprofen.

-- Larry "the first 95 laps weren't so bad, the last 5 finished me off" B.

[rdub]

Larry knows the secret ibu trick

[dman]

They should have staff masseuse...
So other doping is legal then? :)

[Teddy.B]

I'm in for this one. :rockon

[BergeGuy]

Count me in. I've been looking forward to doing one of these.

[washburn]

I'll join in. Bring full-face helmet?

Jess Meyer

Do I need a face shield?

[rdub]

yes Pat.......although they have allowed open face helmets and goggles
You can use their helmets if you don't want to bring one

[dman]

Do I need a face shield?
Yes.
Alternatively you can have open-faced helmet + goggles.

[driveshaft]

Count me in too. Sounds like fun.

Eric Aydt

[AQuimby]

I'm down to get schooled buy all you carters. As long as its not to late.

[Darryl]

Looks like we'll be going with this format...

180 laps, three per team, with 5 pit stops every 20 /25 laps… Each person will get 60 laps... This should be FUN... Still a few spots left...

PLEASE ARRIVE BY 2:00 so we can get started at 2:30... This will take about an hour and a half...

[AliensRgr8]

Do I need a face shield?


I have a set of goggles that should work if you need some.

[phile]

Do I need a face shield?
They have accepted the flat face shield I have. It's the simple one that costs less than ten bucks at a cycle shop.

[stoooo]

What he's not telling you is they look like this...

Not quite they look a little more like this.

[RedlineToy]

I will be able to join you as well. Only a couple of Sunday events to my credit so far. So if you want to slow down a team with a fast driver stick them with me.

[washburn]

Heh...nice goggles. I have a faceshield somewhere from my C Mod days. Just have to find it. Don't be looking for any Randy /Pat battles. I'll be lucky to get out of there without kart tracks across my faceshield.

Please post directions, address, or a link to a map, I will probably just meet everyone there. Also, what time can I show up and get some practice in? Anyone else need practice?

[Tyro]

I'll need practice too..

[rdub]

well Pat and I could wind up on the same team!!!!!!!The owner TIM and name drawing will determine the teams
I am by no means the fastest guy out there.
On any given day there are at least 10 folks on the sign up list that are as fast or faster.Don't forget the Karts are never quite equal and racing luck comes into play alot too.Thats why its fun and not to be taken TOO seriuosly
(said tonge in cheek)

[Darryl]

I just confirmed with Tim at ProKart...

180 laps with 5 pit stops, 3 person teams...

ProKart T-shirts to the team that wins...

35 bucks each or about .50 per lap... Not bad...

We will max out at 30 people...

If you want to do a practice round or two, be at ProKart by 1:00 or 1:30...

[BergeGuy]

I was already planning to go to Prokart with a friend when I was back in town this weekend for the party. He is not on the forum, so could you add Alex H to the list.

[Teddy.B]

Don't forget the Karts are never quite equal and racing luck comes into play alot too.

It's always funny to see which kart has what wrong with it. Bunk brakes, sloppy steering, digital throttle, ect........

[SC2Sick]

is this open top people who haven't do this before?

[tcc317]

I'm in, as well.

[miata#37]

is this open top people who haven't do this before?

Tony,
I don't see why not. Come on out and have some fun! We're just trying to shake off a little "cabin fever" after all. It will be a great way to meet some of the group.

[AQuimby]

Has the track been changed in the last year?

[dman]

Has the track been changed in the last year?
I think it has been changed.

[JKarsten]

If you my friend Creig Olcott could get the last spot, he has been wanting to do this. I will be down to watch for a bit.

[Darryl]

Has the track been changed in the last year?

Nope, it's the same... They went to this layout mid December 05...

[DaveBahl]

Hey RedlineToy, I sent you a PM.

[AQuimby]

So what kind of lap times are you weekend carters pulling off.
Still got my results from my bachelor party.:oops:

[Darryl]

Mid 21's to mid 22's... But if you go to ProKart on the off times, lap time could be in the 22/24 second range...

[rdub]

If you're runnin 32's that'd be fine!!!!

[larry200]

Randy Williams, John Mensch and a few others put in quite a few laps below 21.0 this past Saturday.

-- Larry "20.8 on a good day" B.

[AQuimby]

Wow!! Thats fast. Adam A and Myself couldn't get below a high 22 at my bachelor party.

[larry200]

Wow!! Thats fast. Adam A and Myself couldn't get below a high 22 at my bachelor party.

It varies quite a bit, day-to-day. This past Saturday was a pretty good day, and a lot of fresh rubber gets laid down in two 104-lap races.

-- Larry "looking forward to another pretty good day" B.

[JKarsten]

I went down today for some mid afternoon laps with my buddy , so he can pratice for saturday. had a lot of fun should've sign up but not really.

It was Wednesday Larry… They blew up a motor that morning during another race… That puts a nice layer of oil on the track… The tires suck up the oil making the karts tires super sticky… I followed Rdub for a couple laps, he was on three wheels through most corners… During the qualifying session, Bahl's made a quick turn to miss a cone and had one front tire a good 3" off the track...

[aansorge]

Wow!! Thats fast. Adam A and Myself couldn't get below a high 22 at my bachelor party.

Bull, I hit a 21.9!!!

[rdub]

the track was SOOOOO grippy with the oil down(sounds weird huh,but true)
20.66 for me....
The future racing star 12 year old (70lbs) ran a 20.43
I was alot more stiff the next day from the cornering forces and extra laps,
than usual

[AQuimby]

Bull, I hit a 21.9!!!

Are you sure that was at my party. I remember it well.... kindof. I can't seem to find my results.
Anyway, It seemed that the carts were a little slow that day.
Both of our fastest laps came on our third and last round of lapping and they were exactly the same. Right down to the .000
Maybe I'm a second off and we couldn't get below a high 21.xxx.

[larry200]

It was Wednesday Larry…

Any day I'm off work is a "Saturday" as far as I'm concerned.

Even if it was *Tuesday*.

-- Larry "not sure what day it is" B.

Yeah, my timesheet looked like a patchwork quilt. Four days worked, Four days vacation, and two holidays.

Had a great time! Glad I came down early for this. Found some new muscles I didn't know I had. :) I'm quite happy with my 21.9 even though the fast guys were all in the mid-low 21's. I will be watching for another one of these. Would be worth the trip in the next couple dark winter months to go play for a couple hours. Thanks guys!

[rdub]

nice heading WASHBURN!!!!!!
It was fun seeing your enthusiasm for karting,we forget how lucky we are to have the place in the winter
You'll be BACK

No need... Part of the clubs history...

[washburn]

Hmmm...someone took the liberty of changing it for me. Rdub, leave yours up, no reason not to have it. Gotta take care of that trophy now. Hey, I also forgot to ask Phil about numbers...did we vote to give out #1, or did we decide not to do that?
Water...that's what I forgot. should have tanked up like to morning of an autocross. Feeling pretty good now. I'll be back.

MAC owns number 1. The MAC driver of the year may use it at his option.

[AliensRgr8]

Thanks for putting in a all the time and effort to put this together. I had a blast, and I look forward to doing this again.

I think there is a Typo on the the Second Place team. It should be Pat H and not Pat W.

Not to be picky but 2nd place should read. Barry Pat H Adam.

Otherwise great time. My fourth time at Pro cart. We should do this more often. Or at least every year.
I'm almost glad I don't live close to that place.
