Toymods go-karting day - Saturday May 1 - Eastern Creek

[trdee]

cuzzo i have been offered two junior clubman karts for 2k. worth it?

also keen for whitewater rafting

vote 1 vito for official toymods organiser of "cool shit followed by beers" events

[Cuzzo]

Junior in frame or in engine?

More than likely both. Unless you grow up to be an old italian man very quickly and start shrinking you wont fit.

Ideally minmum clubman S with a clutch setup (and starter) along with a adult sized frame.

This has got me thinking,
I know butterfly farm is good for a small karting event. It's 40 bucks for 15 minutes on the track but there's no lap timing [but racechrono has map data]. It's fun and cheap and a good drive out there. Also, there's a licence for $1 for the year so you can take you sprint karts out there whenever.
And rafting.. oh my. that could be interesting.

Butterfly does cost $40 for all day when you have your own kart *plus butterfly farm license(40 aswell i think)

Racechrono FTW!

Time to buy a kart!

Karting may or maynot cost you around 4K to have a reliable setup with all associated gear needed.

they are a pair of junior clubmans with rotax engines i believe cuzzbro.

[Cuzzo]

clubman is an engine

Get some specs on the frame + axle sizes + brakes

[trdee]

hmm i are confused. maybe ones a clubman and ones a rotax then. im just relaying what ive been told lol

dudes, i know its kartatak which = shit. but the first tuesday of every month (today) they hold an open "championship" event

$45 = qualifying, 2 heats and a final. starts at 6:30

$5 from each entrant goes to a prize pool too. ima check it out tonight. if its good then this could become our regular gokarting fixture??

Indeed he is correct.

my father runs a kart business

Buying cheap at the start is good, but it won't take too long before you find yourself limited by the relatively poor chassis.

hahaha. i wouldnt mind some of that...
the kart attak stuf that is.

Just got back. there were about 24 participants. 90% of them were quick which was good. Got split into three groups, each group would have their quali and 2 heats and then the top 3 from the first and second groups + top 2 from the third group formed the 8 man final.

I got a ratshit kart for qualifying, literally had ZERO rear grip. Qualified last, told them to get me into another kart, ended up battling up to 4th in my round of heats but unfortunately that wasnt good enough to enter the finals lol

definately recommend doing this next month. For the money you can't go wrong

What times were ppl running. Best our group managed a month back was around 21.84 but you struggled to get 1 clean lap in without traffic. Would be much better on a comp night, I am keen it is just such a kent to get to for me especially mid week.

[trdee]

we were on the extended track, most people were in the 29s. one kid did a 28. lap record for the extended track is 26s apparently.
