And FYI, you have better traction off the line and a 'lower centre of gravity' for the bends than I would have. Weight = greater PSI on the road = greater grip. Now I know that weight <> acceleration, but what I make up for on the straights, you make up for with the curves.... pun intended.

LOL I lose out on the curves too, as I can't accelerate out of them properly ;) I doubt traction is really a problem on these karts, is it?
If it is, then it's another story.

Semi-erect: GF.A :D

Also, sadly, I am working on the 10th

it's a 270cc kart. Centrifugal clutch so not really a launch specialist, but a little extra downforce does help in the sweeping corners. THey shunt, believe me. It's no randburg raceway 60cc kart.

if your question is "Please, Jashan, I want your skills on my team and we (rest of team) are willing to sponsor you for your time and efforts" then I'm in.

Oh and comments like "Hey douchbag," loses you points

Ok, now I've got a couple of questions. Do we pay on the spot, for it will be unpossible for me to get to a bank before saturday.

Seeing you posted this:

But it's sooo far for me to travel. :grin:



Another one, will it be possible for me to collect my starter pack on saturday, you know, the whole two flies with one swat thing. (No pressure whatsoever)

One last thing, where the hell is Zwartkops? :???:

Edit: is this the right place?

It was the only day till mid November the kart track could accommodate us, and we've had a dyno-day in August, so I wasn't paying too much attention to the dyno-whores, was aiming this at talented individuals who would like some nice wheel to wheel action, rather than the monotony of wheel to roller...

So which are you mr Hernandez?

Oh yeah, another thing, are there any rules on clothing, i.e. long pants and long sleeved shirt, or can we pull in with shorts and t shirts? For it will be relatively warm, just saying. :grin:
