Strange the equipment went down again.

Anyway, 4 seconds wouldn't surprise me. I seem to remember only getting in something like 19 laps. But I also don't know how close to the 12 minutes they were for either of us. Pure speculation at this point.

I went with an ultra-competitive friend that felt the 15 lbs. he weighs more than I would significantly affect lap times and he wanted me to ballast the car. LOL

I ended up being about .7 seconds faster on my fastest lap but on average I was probably 1-2 seconds faster than him.

I'd love to go again this weekend. I'm prepared to eat some humble pie as you will probably be lapping me

 

I doubt the weight delta would have had any meaningful effect on the results. What were your times with which configuration?

 

36.207 which would work out to almost 20 laps for a legitimate 12 minute session. This was on the south (fast) course.

Of course, my lap time improved probably 4-5 seconds over the course of the session as well. This is probably my 4th time in a go kart.

 

South Course... short or long, clockwise or counter-clockwise?

 

Ahh... This helps:

You were driving the South Sprint course?

 

Definitely the south sprint course. I don't think they can run the concourse courses at the same time (or if they did, it would make for a real interesting 12 minutes )

And it was counter-clockwise.

 

Sounds like I got the hookup when I was running the South Concourse on Sunday. If the Sprint configuration is low 30-seconds then 26 laps in the Concourse config is at least 15 minutes of driving.

 

Don't underestimate how slow I am

Are you down for running a few sessions this weekend?

 

I might be able to break away Saturday afternoon. Would that work?

 

I may go Friday or Sunday... Hockey on Saturday.
