ImUrOBGYN Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I forget. Is a session based on 1st place's lap number? Cuz if so, the faster the laps... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'm excited to check this out. I made it into the 29second club down at Full Throttle Indoor Karting in Cincy and had a blast. I agree though, no braking helps a ton!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeDot3083 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I stopped by briefly on Friday and they were experimenting with new tire pressures and as Mojoe said it Kent put down a 35.9xx. Where his best before that was a 36.6xx I believe. So I’m saying the new tire pressures are working. I work Wednesday of this week so I’ll try something to figure out the weight difference we were talking about. No a session is based on the first car out of the pits. We ‘start’ the session while the karts are in the pits, but the countdown doest ‘trigger’ until the first kart trips the timer at the exit of pit road. They then have 8 minutes to give it hell. Of course the faster you are the more laps you get. My math could be wrong but with a 35.9xx average lap time you should get almost 13 laps in an 8 minute session.

I'm hoping to finally use up my freebies this month and put down a time for the heavyweight division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Kent and Steve are in the low to mid 34's. Someone has a 33.9xx. However, I believe that was on a kart with some thing done to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw your name on that 35.1! congrats man I ran a couple of races tonight, turning a 35.7 with my fat ass the guy in 2nd there behind me got his fast lap following me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks.I haven't seen where weight is a disadvantage at this place. The karts are fast enough for a light rider to zoom and chase traction. Yet, a heavier rider seems to grip and still have the power to zoom well too. I'd say it's a fair track.

Das Borgen Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 naaa, in the previous race, I could clearly see where my friend (he's maybe 160-170?, a solid 100lbs fewer than I'm packing) was faster in the tight corners and we were very level on the faster stuff. He's a 35.27. I turned a few 36.2 in that one and a 36.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeDot3083 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I worked last night, wasn’t able to do the timing thing we've been talking about. We were just busy enough to prevent me from doing it. I did find out there is one kart out there that has a 'fresh' set of tires on it. I would guess that is the kart that both kent and steve used to put down the 34.0xx I got one shot at the track last night and it wasn’t in the kart with fresh tires. I put up a 34.974, sadly that isn’t even good enough for top 15 anymore. I happy that I got down in to the 34’s but will need to shave off another 2 tenths to get in the top 10. It isn’t much but the more and more these numbers come down, the harder it will be to find that next tenth. Guess that’s the challenge. **EDIT** Just remembered this... I did find out last night that next Wednesday they are planning on running the BIG track for the first time. It’s a 1/2 mile in length and from I am told is the largest indoor track in the USA and third largest in the world. It should be a hell of a time as the ‘jr’ track or the ‘back’ track whatever you call it hasn’t been ground down and hasn’t had ANY racing on it. To say it’s going to be slick is a gross understatement. It should allow the people with real talent to shine.

Mojoe Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 ^^ I will be there next Wednesday, it is a members only invite for the full track. As the days pass the monthly top 15 will become the elitests list. And, as you said a tenth of a second will be a big deal. Congrats on the 34.0xx.

Mojoe Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Full track is very fun. Drive like your hairs is on fire, then slow roll on the back side. Beat time on the track is a 106.7xx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Full track was absolute chaos our first session out. I managed a 1:06.199 my second session; traffic is pretty difficult in that configuration so I didn't get any clean laps after that. Best time of the day was something like a 1:03.2. The back section is very unforgiving of quick foot movements. I think it goes without saying, but I really like this place. I can't wait for the tiny tykes track to open up so I can have an excuse to go back more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Love this place. I did 4 sessions and left with a 105.018. It will be under 1 minute soon. We need to go there together Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 How did you guys find out about the full track yesterday? I didn't get my email until today. It came yesterday but not until the track session was already open! Would've been nice to have a headsup but you guys sound like you already had it! I'm kinda pissed. >:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I got a couple of emails about it, first one was about a week ago and then I got a "reminder" yesterday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 ^^ same here. I'll probably repost future events or if I'm heading there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeDot3083 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I did finally get on the track. It was awesome. I really hope they keep the back track slick. It is SUCH a challenge and a nice change of pace. So I got one shot at it and never really got a clean lap but was able to put up a 1:04.7xx. I would have loved to go out a couple more times but it wasn’t in the cards. It was great talking to the both of you again last night!

Mojoe Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Good talking to you too Jon. FYI, this weekend is their Grand Opening. The FAN radio station will be there, and you can race with their people. There will be other events there as well, like a free rock climbing wall, peddle karts you can race while you wait to get on the track, also free. Food vendors and I believe adult beverages may be sold there too. Don't quote me, but I think there is discounted racing Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
