A potential joint event sounds great Liam. We would have several areas to consider (Insurance, timing gear etc) Perhaps you and I could try and work out the details soon...........would you want to run another this year if you could?

Thanks

Gerry,
Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun, i think we might have to have a go at that :grin:

With reference to you getting quicker times with Stuart in the car, just a thought, it might be something to do with the balance / weight transfer of the car.

Well done Pablo, a bit of new blood :D You won't be disappointed.

We were discussing the weight issue. The car's been set up for geometry but not corner weighted so don't know what the balance might be.

Although the car's 4wd, the front diff is open and I was just wondering whether the fronts were unloading enough to spin on the very slippery surface, the tyres were squealing like banshees. Just maybe Stu's sylphe like frame was helping traction on the left handers, of which there were many :D

I've never taken my car round a go kart track before!

Walking round it was a bit like being in a model village racetrack.

The day was a bit frustrating personally, I struggled to match my practice times when it counted. Dont know if it was becuase it got hotter? I wanted to get in the 52s and missed it by a gnats. Me and Simon ran quite close, but he banged a single 52s lap in and I couldnt match it. Think there were a couple of Evos ahead of us, but think they may have had track tyres/slicks on. Gotta get me ome of those, especially after the run in Stus car, that front end sticks!

Nice to meet the MLR crowd though, they certainly got us plenty of runs in.
