Yea I'm going to get something a couple season's old just to get into the sport and get started then few years down the track look and buying brand new and start winning races
lots of ppl have more money than brains or skill and ull still kick them in the bum no matter what ya driving....me im sorta in the middle there lol
i had a test day lined up here in wollongong for one of the teams running in the enduros......bugger me it rained, so got cancelled and i couldnt get there on the day they were testing again so i missed out on a gig. Was spewing.... @PaulCox have you been up to the track at kembla Grange ? Its pretty good (although i havent run there for a while). Even the hire karts get up to about 80KPH at the end of the back straight... @Jurassic Mark if you need or are interested in another driver for the wollongong race let me know....happy to pay for a drive if fast enough and you need someone. Realistically a paid drive is the only way i could get into it...dont want to buy and store a kart and trailer.....missus would kill me !
The Wollongong race is a 1000 lapper. Pretty sure last year it went for over 9 hours. I’ll talk to the other guys to see if we want to run a 5th guy as it gets closer (there’s also a possibility of someone not being able to make it, and I don’t think I’d want to do it with less than 4), so I’ll message you a bit closer (race is 21st July). We all basically pay to drive anyway, last round we all paid $250, and after entry, tyres and some repairs, we had nothing left.
South island Tech.... fly into Christchurch, few days there, then lake tekapo, then wanika then 4 days at queenstown trying to ski !
Please hit me up for this, im in for sure only an hour away... doesnt have to be the big one but a day out with you boys would be awsome
Just a little clip from track at work when we had my Brother In-laws stag do. Missed the start somehow but i started at the back and this was as i passed front 2 and bolted
Last time I did karting I did a couple of laps and as I pulled over, the bloke that runs the thing comes over and said - Oi no professionals. I took my helmet off, I said I'm not a professional. He said - you're not a professional? I said - No, he said - well you should be, if I was you I'd take up Formula One, and if you drive like that you'd probably be the best in the country! I said - I'm not interested I'm making loads out of computers.
By Driving Fitness do you mean overall body fitness or driving ability? Cause i'm a fit bloke, run a 5K 'Fun Run' in under 21 minutes. Not saying that sweating your box off driving kart isn't good for you, just trying to understand what your saying NOTE - I would love to do a kart day. I loved my last set.
Both absolutely both. I'm lucky my job keeps me fit by running then I get to jump in the karts and get driving fit. Edit: I also fun run up the local volcano know as The mount twice a week
