Go Karting Escapades

[e34_lover]

Maxxsp and all,

Both Sepang and Shah Alam ( & Langkawi ) are run by the same people.

The Sepang karts ( walk in rentals ) are 150cc 4 strokes and the Shah Alam karts cadet rentals are 80cc. If you can handle the speed, there is also the 100cc Yamaha.

I had been to a few karts tracks around australia and the fastest I had been were on the Yamaha KT100 J engine karts ( round head ) .....these were not as fast as the 100cc Yamaha KT100S karts ( square head ) they rent out at Shah Alam. I heard you can rent the same at Elite too.

So the fastest walk in rental karts I am aware is still in Malaysia.....


In regards to your brother's bad driving - please see how close the rear shaft sprocket is to the ground. The chain wraps around this......which makes it even closer. So if your brother likes to ride RIGHT hand bend curbs.......the sprocket and chain WILL snap when it hits the kerbs. They do get customers who do not understand that a kart is a racing vehicle, not a dodgem car.


I race my own kart since year 2000, so please take it as I am sharing my experience.

Slyder, who is your colleague - the senior champion? I may just know him.....

I find your comments insulting. If you must know, the chain broke because it was probably weak. I don't ride curbs cos its damn uncomfortable on a go kart. Furthermore there is no suspension to keep all tyres on the ground which means you have less grip going round the corner. You want to keep all four tires on the track so I am not dumb enough to go flying around on curbs. I might not be a fantastic driver in your eyes but presuming that I rode the curbs and the chain breaking because of my bad driving isn't very nice. I am not a "pro" like you but I believe that riding curbs kills momentum. Go karting is all about momentum is it not?

Parts get old and they do fail. Does not necessarily mean someone did something. What makes you think the kart was not broken by a previous driver and I was unlucky in choosing that kart? Their reasoning for the chain breaking was that I was accelerating while my kart was sliding. They told me not to do this but I did not have the same issue with the replacement kart. I did not have the same problem in Australia either.

My brother did make a mistake. I was allowed back onto the track on a new kart.

I don't remember the specifics of the track as it was years ago but I almost never used the brakes. I think the only times were the first corners after the long straights. I think we were on the slower karts though.

Gamenoob- I was taken off on the bike as well!

Merv,

No worry. They will get ranked during the qualifying, so it will be interesting on the final. Or, we can always throw a curve one for the front runner to catch up from behind with reverse ranking on final rolling start.

 

[Daniel E30]

wahh.....this is getting really serious. Looks like ive to get ready for this big race....

 

[Mavik]

I also need to start jogging now to shed off the extra weight!

I kenot tell a lie, i have brought my children 2 cart b4 on several occassions. Also timekeeper was given some incentive 2 make my time respectable. Daniel is d reigning champ, i was a few car lengths behind him n could not reduce d gap.. Have 2 loose some kgs as well, but had a good time.

 

[gamenoob]

Anyway, the rule is top 3 buy dinner...
