There is a formula which I am the last person to ask ask about it! But with a 16/70 my friend figured it was 95mph.

Nice Video Doug, I really enjoyed that layout. And it’s abut 300 miles closer for me than Thunderhill!

[Ray Chiappe]

Chris, I am kinda going through the same thing with my granddaughter now. I’m a nervous wreck when she is on a big track! She was on Buttonwillow for the first time last weekend and I had her following me in practice for about 10 laps!!

I have run a Rotax in Tag for a long time. And I am thinking it’s time to switch to an X30. I mainly Road race and they seem to be pretty fast and the less weight would be a big help for me.

[Ray Chiappe]

T-West has already been modified with a new config to bypass the really tight stuff is what I have been told. Should be a lot faster now?

 

[Ray Chiappe]

I just check Acuweather, says the high for the 30th 85, very nice!

[Ray Chiappe]

It’s on Sunday Aug. 30th I hope?

[Ray Chiappe]

IKF no longer has a Road Race National Event, are the Sprints not far behind?

[Ray Chiappe]

Ed Portz, that’s the funniest thing I have ever seen as applies to Karting!! Especially since I run a Rotax. I’m still laughing!!! LOL doesn’t quite cut it right now!!

[Ray Chiappe]

I was at a Road Race this week end and got my back side handed to me by two friends out with their brand new X30’s. Couple the tight turns with a tall gear ratio and the X30 seemed to have a much broader torque span. When my Rotax fell off the pipe I didn’t stand a chance.

[Ray Chiappe]

Always thought someday we would be going back there? Hope it reopens

[Ray Chiappe]

NASCAR drivers always seem to find the wall with no Safer Barriers.

[Ray Chiappe]

Don’t think you gave the EVO enough time? I would take it to a Sprint track and see if you can get it running there. Jumping from engine to engine is a head ached in itself.

[Ray Chiappe]

Yeah the dinner Sat night was great!!

 

[Ray Chiappe]

What is a Chonda?????

[Ray Chiappe]

A little soapy water would prob. work better!

[Ray Chiappe]

Ok I put a picture! JMO it seems to me that you are trying to limit pictures going on your site? Unlike anything I have seen on other Forums……..Thanks for the help.

[Ray Chiappe]

This is how I get the tire off! Add a little Simple Green to reduce drag and pull on the bar.

 

[Ray Chiappe]

So I have to put it on another Site before I can put it on your site? Will it work from Facebook?

[Ray Chiappe]

They aren’t moving the race to the Convention Center?

[Ray Chiappe]

Jack, Nck’s site is behind the times! If you are on Facebook they announced on there too. We will be running Big Willow. We ran there 3 times last year. They started a Forums and I didn’t see a link on their site. http://www.nckroadracingforum.com/?forum=417658

The forum says we are running on “Streets” Which is wrong.

[Ray Chiappe]

OK So=Cal Karters, pick a day or run both days. Stock Honda goes over 100mph at Big Willow!

[Ray Chiappe]

Pretty sure that would be a No. I have been racing with NCK for awhile now and they haven’t had enough Rotaxes to make an only class. I run a Rotax in the Tag Enduro class and Tag Heavy.

 

[Ray Chiappe]

We need a “Like” clicker on here!

[Ray Chiappe]

I enjoyed the show. Reminded me of another show a few years ago, the name escapes me now. I would like to see some action where the adult classes are shown though. Also they need to show more of the technical side of karting, ie explain a little about the classes and the motors, might help entice new karters?
