Ah-ha! Haven't seen you on the forum in a while. So that's what we have to do to get out; mention go karting. Hope you can make it.

Oh man... are you sure you wanna do that? You're likely to be part of the horrific wreck that I'm gonna cause (once I get First350 in my sights).

Looks like the local S2K guys make Sykart their Proving Grounds. Looking at their times... Man, some of them are quick! One guy is running a 34.8 second laps.

....wonder if it helps that an S2000 is more like a go-Kart ...or maybe the top guys all weigh 100 lbs...

**I need to remember to bring my closed faced helmet this time and some gloves (my hands always cramp up b/c my adrenaline is pumping so hard !!

My guess is that it's gonna be pretty cold down there. Probably just a few degrees warmer than outside on the track. Gonna have to bundle up a bit for this one.

I think these places should add ballast to make things more equal...a 100lb difference in a small kart is night and day!

ROFL I wish. I was just saying that b/c it's very reasonable to get a 100lb difference between 2 adult males.

*but I've seen some lightening quick times done by 200+ lbs guys...so driving skillz >> power to weight ratio
