Will this race be a standing start from the pits or on the track or rolling start?

I have never raced there before but the pit exit looked narrow.

Thanks,

Mike

I am running stock Honda 1 which is supposed to start with the unlimited's and Superkarts. Will the other races be rolling start or standing and if standing from the pits or track? My son is in the 1st race so would like to know about it too.

What's the best technique for a rolling start? Pick a gear that is near the rev. limit that matches pace speed or what? The rolling start I was in was on a sprint track in a 4 hole can yamaha!

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

The way I remember Harper's doing it in the past at Barbers was the Superkarts do a rolling start (as previously stated) while the rest of the classes start traditionally from pit lane. The 1 minute flag goes up while the Super karts are on their pace lap and drops once the Super Karts are safely by the pit exit.

The pit lane does narrow up, but it is not as narrow as say Rd. Atlanta and has not been a problem in the past , now the track exit to pit lane is a different story. The first time you exit the track go SLOW until you understand the lay of the land.

See you at Barbers!

Jim,

Thanks for the info.

I look forward to seeing you and your family there.

Mike

Hey Robbie,
There is going to be a rolling start on the front straight?
