I'm up for it !!

I'm down. Need to start a weight loss program. What's the upper limit for the lightweight class? Could be an excuse to lose some of my 175lb.

Perhaps some sort of ribcage padding is in order?

I just ordered a Pro rib protector from K1Racegear.com. I have separated ribs from my dual with Mark Eisenbies... not going to happen again.. too painful. Sure was fun.... looks like there is not much interest in having another Kart Challenge this year. Must have a minimum of 20 PAID/committed drivers... they can be anyone who is interested in participating.

I'm down for karting anytime I can afford it

Post by **DSPDA3** » Fri May 25, 2007 2:15 pm

It's still early yet. I'm sure we can get 20 committed individuals by August.

What time of day do you want... 2:00pm to 4:00pm? or some other hours.. at this time we can have any time slot... this is also the Bristol race day.

I know of at least 10 from Triad that would join in if we cant fill the group with all BRR members.

You'll have a check at Verona on the 10th.

Post by **DSPDA3** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 11:02 am

Lynn -

I forgot my checkbook at Verona. Hopefully I'll get it to you soon.

I noticed that the 2007 NCAC is also planned for that weekend, in Danville. This may put a crimp on getting enough people to commit to karting. I still plan on the karting, if it's still on.

Only other date would be September 1, 2007... Aug 18 is AMA races at VIR and you have to buy an AMA ticket to get to the Kart Track. The way response has been it looks like a no go anyway... I think I will go ahead and cancel with the Kart Track.

How late can you wait before you cancel with no penalty?

We can wait a while longer to see if there is any interest.. we should move the date if the NCAC is at the same time... any ideas on a date? Aug 18 is out.. Aug 11 is Oak Tree Nationals.

Check http://myspace.com/virkarttrack for the current booking schedule at the Kart track. looks like September 1, or 15 could be an open date.

Post by **DSPDA3** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 10:29 am

Sept. 1 looks like a viable option. Sept. 15 is getting close to Nationals, and probably wouldn't work for some that plan to make the trip to KS.

00GTJustin · Post by **00GTJustin** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 7:59 pm

I've been interested...but the neon needs a new head and a new transmission...so I can't promise anything until I see how cashflow works out through the summer.....

The CCR 24 hour event is usually the first weekend in September, and that's something I never miss. As Ryan said, the 15th is getting close to Nationals. But, you can never make everyone happy...

LynnCombs · Post by **LynnCombs** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 7:09 am

NEW date of September 1, 2007.... all other items the same... need 20 drivers by August 6, 2007.

DLingenfelter · Post by **DLingenfelter** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 12:48 pm

I might know about 3 or so people that might be interested. But I didn't get quite enough info from VIR's Plantation myspace page.
Are these actual shifter karts or shifter kart chassis minus the shifting?
What are the helmet requirements and are there loaner helmets and neck braces?
How long will each race be?

LynnCombs · Post by **LynnCombs** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 12:42 pm

Try this link to see an old picture of the carts... they are not shifter carts.. average speed is about 47mph for the 5/8 mile track.

What is the total cost for the event? Typically what are the activities at the kart challenge?

$50.00 per Driver... total cost.. arrive and drive.

Divide into two groups at the 1:30pm Drivers meeting.. "Lite" and "Heavy".
Each Group gets a 12 minute practice warm up.
Qualifying by each group for 12 minutes.. fastest single lap is your time.
Race by groups .. 12-15 lap races... continue until 2 hours are used.

Action · Post by **Action** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 9:26 am

What are the lite and heavy weights? Is is standard WKA 225lbs and 275lbs total weight? VIR does not provide karting suits right?

Sounds fun!

LynnCombs · Post by **LynnCombs** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 10:57 am

If the Kart Challenge is going to happen, you need to get your money in... currently there are 3 paid entries as indicated in the front of the post. If we do not have 20 drivers by August 7 then we will have to Cancel.

Action · Post by **Action** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 11:31 am

I will not be able to commit. Maybe in another month or more after my shoulder gets in better shape...

My bad on the weights. WKA lite is 275 and heavy is 325. Its been a while since my karting days.
