I'll make my choice after Xrad.

First come first served

Nothing formal here

 

[TEX36]

Hmmm, my posting didn't show up.
So "Take 2":

Autumn Ring - lap times of 1:23 or so

Thanks Tex 👍

Shooting for 15 minute races this week. Just want to see how the timing works out.

 

[Handlebar]

I like the Oval Ending idea as well.

cape ring - north

 

[kcheeb]

cape ring - north

Thanks Xrad, line up is set for Tuesday 👍

I'll hopefully get some times for laps and a starting point for a transmission tune.

By the way, if anyone else wants/likes to tinker and has the time, please feel free to post your transmission tune

I would love to help but I suck at tuning.

DragonWhisky and I got the number of laps and a decent starting point for the gearing done. These felt pretty good, but feel free to experiment
I've also started a Gearing tab in the Scoring document.

Race 1 - Indy Road - 9 laps
Race 2 - Autumn Ring - 11 laps
Race 3 - Cape Ring - North - 9 laps
Race 4 -Twin Ring Motegi Oval - 18 laps


........ Lap Time - 1st Gear - Final Gear - Top Speed - Driven Top Speed
Race 1 : 1:47.932 -- .840 ---- 4.3000 ----- 114 ------- 106

Race 2 : 2:28.942 -- .940 ---- 4.3000 ----- 102 ------- 97

Race 3 : 1:40.769 -- .890 ---- 4.3000 ----- 108 ------- 100

Race 4 : 1:37.177 -- .803 ---- 4.3000 ----- 119 ------- 107

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Uh. Think that last was .803 for first gear

Thanks, fixed it! Stupid fat fingers.

 

[TEX36]

Thank you for the Gearing Tab ....... that will really be a help to us "Non-Turner Types".
You might want to check the First Gear decimal setting for the 125.
Dragon: ".803" do you mean for the Race 1 or Race 4?

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Race 4, Motegi Oval. It will be a "hold 'er to the mat, turn left" kinda race. Whomever is in position to get the best draft out of T4 on the last lap will likely be the winner there.

Indy will be fun, Autumn ring is made for Karts, Cape Ring will be the hardest track of the four to stay on. That jump is a fickle bi7ch and those damnable hairpins will cause some frustration. Motegi will be a blast of a draft fest.

My oldest has a Chorus concert tonight. So not 100% sure I'll be back and ready in time. See how things go and what happens after.

Enjoy the concert 👍

Drop in for however many races you can, would like to learn some more

Same goes for everyone else. Don't feel you have to race all of the races

So I went and picked up a wireless network extender last night to see if that would fix my ridiculous connection issues and so far it looks to be doing just that. Tonight as well as practice for Sunday are what will make it or break it.

You're running wireless? There is 99% of the issues you've been having. Invest in some cable and get a wired connection.

Interesting. I shall consider.

Hey Jared93,

I'm more than happy to help you get your connection and lag issues sorted. We can try tonight with the wireless setup you just bought.

But, if you're lagging again tonight, I'll ask you to leave the lounge. I know this sounds harsh, but when there are a bunch of others affected, we need to go with what's best for the group.

That said, you should do what you can to get a wired connection it really is better.

Cheers,

Kcheeb

Since I've purchased it and hooked it up I have not had one issue regarding lag or getting disconnected. But, if it goes south tonight while racing just say the word and I'll do so. I would expect the same from someone else if they were to have the continuing issues I seem to be running into.

Thanks and for the record it's happened before and we've dealt with it.

I really do hope it works 👍

Hey Karters,

Tcrash is going to host tonight. If you can wait til he's in D2 before you join that would be appreciated 👍

Kcheeb

 

[fzappa]

D2 is know open for your Karting pleasure. As for me, I suck at Karts.

 

[kcheeb]

Thanks everyone for coming out last night, good fun 👍

Results are posted here and can also be found in the Official Scoring Spreadsheet

Changing up the Prize Winning formula, 1st, 5th and 10th are up 👍

Please pick a track for the Junior Karts next week.

DragonWhisky and I got on this last Saturday afternoon to get the gearing sorted out, thanks man! If anyone else wants to join for the session I can post the time here when it'll be running. We could use it as a tutorial on Gearing (I can provide the very basics) and we could also share thoughts/techniques on racing Karts. Hope to see you!

 

[Dragonwhisky]

WTP is this? Two prizes in the same week? Maybe I should buy some lottery tickets tonight.

At the moment, I have no idea what track to pick for the Juniors.

#3 coming up

I'll make my decision and post it within a couple hours. What a bittersweet prize.

Thanks Jared.

It does get better with a little time and effort 👍

Thanks Jared. It does get better with a little time and effort 👍

The karts have a very different feel than regular vehicles. Practice would do me some good as far as those go...

 

[Dragonwhisky]

#3 coming up

Probably a good thing I didn't buy a ticket. Luck ran out last night. Of course, the company I was keeping, in the Stamina Series, was just a little left of earthly, so, while I didn't get anywhere near a podium, I did get within about 6 tenths of the fastest time.

Thanks for the help on the Stat sheets!

I still don't know what to pick for my track. Anyone have any suggestions?
