[Fishpaste~]

im keen, lmk and i'll see if i can make it!!

[Krishy]

i am definately keen on this......maybe you could do a 3 or 4 per team doing a total of 300 or so laps......and trust me it gets to ya....specially when your body is warning up and then cooling down.....not so good......but last time I did a endurance go kart race it was awesome.....gota love the driver changes makes things very interesting and also you can make so many mistakes during that bit as well....those guys at richmond run all of their grand prix's really well.....I have held a total of about 5 or 6 grand prix at richmond and everyone involved really enjoyed it....

so I am in!!!!

[Whiplash]

I'd like to think so but there's no need for the pillow talk!

The races can become very long and I had a lot of time to compare my lines to someone I was trying to overtake - there's a lot more to it, much of which is likely a series of minor misadjustments on a competitors kart, but there were 3 or 4 corners where I was always massively faster than anyone else that I thought there must be something else at work - like my love of steak!

hahaha

like you were saying on AE the biggest weight advantage is getting it off the line, once its going its up to the driver to keep the speed.

its also in the luck of the go karts. last time we were lucky enough to get a good one, whilst one of the other had a accelerator cable snap on lap 3

[Min_R32]

I'd be keen seeing as i live around the corner from it! From memory the people that weighed more were flying.... the light people had no proper grip

[Evil34]

I am in for this for sure.

[mr_rbman]

sounds good nick, the ford one was fun!

[SLY R33]

yea i'd be keen for sure.

[kalel]

I'd be interested.

[dnbutts]

I'm down like a clownnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Nightcrawler]

you know I am up for it mate!

if its teams of 3, can i suggest trying to get equal weight for each team, big fat bastards like me are at a real disadvantage in carts, so equal weight would make it a fair competition.

haha yes, as Nick reiterated I have suggest this before. Little runty fellas like Nick and MattR get in and rape us fat blokes - those little engines don't produce enough torque to get us fatties going again when we slow down.

Yep agree on the 3 driver change Grand Prix format at Richmond - it is heaps of fun!

[Madaz]

yeah im in for sure, me and Flick was going to organise this but we got slack was going to be SAU vs CSA but yeah ....:erm:

how about we all submit our weight via PM to nick and he can calculate teams to have and average weight of 200- 280kgs

this was brought up by nightcrawler back when we were doing his turbo (so i have been thinking about this for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time)

i was going to suggest organizing team on the night to try and make an even playing field through out the carts.

[shy_s6]

the karts havent made a huge difference in the times ive been

[Hillzy]

Count me in!

[skylineguy19]

beat me to it also nick, was looking at planning one soon. Im definately in for this, never done the richmond track so should be fun. Isnt it only 3 drivers to a kart if you have over 20? or something like that.

[love my 32]

I'll be keen haven't been go karting before.

[L3nny]

If U need another I'd be keen. If you need more I'm sure I could convince a few other iR owners as well.
