I have a 2015 Praga now so still racing and still making videos. glad to hear you enjoy them.

[matthew odonnell]

I will be there and looking forward to it and glad you guys will be covering it live

[matthew odonnell]

Haha it did seem to happen like that, I don’t know if I can handle that kind of drama every event though

[matthew odonnell]

Cheers guys and as I was focusing in on the race at hand I wasnt giving it enough gas and it ended up stalling then i just had to more or less prime it really quick with the plug out and it started wright back up again.

Thanks for the info everyone

I know that most likely someone around me will have what I need but I want to use that as a last resort

2010 CRG stock 125cc Honda 99 cyl

Another slightly on topic question. is there a more or less jetting for dumbies guide, like a spread sheet where I could match up the temp, altitude, humidity….. to then tell me what jetting to run

Paul: I cant get into oval racing at all i have tried but no sparkle there. As for dirt, never really gave it much thought…..well that was enough thought, the more lateral Gs  the better.

Im afraid it might have to be the turbo.  wont really need it as a third car when i get a tow vehicle either and i would rather play with my toys then look at them.

Cheers to you too john.  i got lucky with my better half she likes the racing stuff aswell and sees that karting can be a good cost effective option.  although she does heckle me about having 3 sports cars(M3(Rachel), 944 Turbo(Princess) and 944 spec car (Amber)) and i am coming to the realization that one of those would have to go if i got into Karting(simple not enough garage space). but to get rid of one would be like choosing one of your kids to sell to an orphanage…

So to be better prepared if the time comes which  kid to sell. rachel cant go she was my first born. so it would be between the 944s. Princess is our nice car to go out in and is almost in too good of condition to get rid of. but she is costing me the most in insurance and repair costs. Amber is costing me nothing to keep and would like to keep around if i find that karting is not for me. but i dont actually “Need” her

thanks for your post Rob i found it incredibly helpful and it put things in a better perspective.

i really made myself out to sound like a fat ass by saying im not into physical sports. lol Being a United States Marine i can assure you that that’s not the case.

thanks for the tuning input mike. vehicle dynamics and tuning is almost have the fun for me.

I did notice that race coming up but i have an autox that day with the PCA and i am the equipment chief so i have to be there but i might be able to bail out in the middle of the day to come check it it

Answers

Location? southern California Orange County. so the tracks i have near by is Cal Speedway, theres one in orange and little more out there in riverside

Sprint or road? I think I would prefer sprint tracks b/c I like a more technical track

Class? well I was hoping to use this thread to narrow that down. the general advice is not to start with a shifter cart so I will listen to that and go with a single speed one but i want a class where i can rebuild my own motors to differ some of the costs and b/c i enjoy that stuff. so with all that said what is the most competitive single speed open motor Class

Long Term Goals? well my micheal shumacker and lewis Hamilton days are behind me so i know im not going pro. long term goals are really for my kids to be successful when i have them and i would like to really know the ins and outs of the sport to give the best shot at being good

Level of racing? start at the club level and if im winning and have the funds move to region and national in theory

Questions

Walt you said you just bought a motor from harbor freight.do you not have to run a specific motor or just anything under the class specific CC Rate

What is engine blueprints? is that like its dino stats?

Drivers Weight? i see some classes have a drivers weight minimum how is weight added to the lighter drivers

Eric you said 75% of all tuning and Maintenance can be done by the driver. what is the 25% that Cant be Done.

Also $3000-$7000 :) :) i wouldn’t keep my Kart at the track so the would neglect the racing cost

that’s it for now

 

[matthew odonnell]

stop mike your turning me on with all that blueprint talk :)

 

What does chassy tuning consist of? just alignment toe/caster/camber

 

well it looks like im going to have to make it out to an event.
