SAUWA GO-KART Endurance Race

What: Go Kart Endurance Race

When: Saturday 15 of August. 5.30 arrival for sign in and drivers briefing

Where: Wanneroo International Kart Track (Wattle Road, Wanneroo)

How Much: $320 per Kart (So with 2 drivers, $160 per driver)

Guys / Girls,

We have decided to run an SAUWA Karting event at the Wanneroo International Karting Track. (NOT WANNEROO RACE WAY)

It will be a teams event with a minimum of 2 people per team, with a maximum of 16 teams, so spots will be limited. But please feel free to come out and be a spectator and sledge and generally have a good time at the drivers expense.

The race will be a Le Mans start, and then into an hour and a half (1.5h) endurance race.

Teams will require a driver change through out the event. The event is about seeing who completes the most laps over the hour. So in order to finish first, first you must finish.

These karts are the twin engine Pro-Karts and not your ordinary hire karts, Top Speed is close to 100KMH, and I think Mike and I managed a 98 KMH trap speed. So we are looking for keen drivers that are interested in a bit of competition as well as a social fun day out

Team numbers will be limited to 16, however as many drivers as you want per team. This will also have an effect on your driving time as well if you have more than 2 drivers.

Teams will be competing not only for forum bragging rights, but Trophies that will be presented at completion of the race by our event sponsor, our good friends "Black Sun Imports" , for 1st (Mike & Bard) 2nd & 3rd and depending on the success we will push for this to be an annual event.

Now the serious bits!!

Firstly each team will need to place a credit card down on the day of racing to cover their Kart in case of damages. Now I know that this sounds off putting, but seeing as these are the Pro-Karts it is the only way around of driving them without having a CAMs kart licence. (No clean, smooth driver has ever had any damage, isnt that right NIGE :) )

Payment for the day must be made in full ($320 per Kart) within 1 week of you booking, to me via the bank account details I will give you once you PM to confirm your spot. If bank transfer is not possible for you, contact me and we can make alternative arrangements.

NO BOOKING WILL BE TAKEN WITHOUT A PM TO ME

And once numbers are confirmed, bookings will no longer be taken.

In the event of a no show or cancellation with in 2 weeks of the event no refund will be given as numbers need to be exact for SAUWA to get the group booking.

SAUWA will booking the event for a Saturday 15th August 2009

Start time of 5.30pm or 1730 for drivers briefing. Late entrants will not be allowed to race.

Your Requirements:

Bring your own full faced helmet if you want, (they do have helmets available to borrow )

Long shirt / t-shirt and pants as well as closed in shoes (sneakers) is a must. (Full cover race suits will be given to us)

Teams will require a Team Name and a list of Drivers,

And contact details that can be sent via PM(Contact Details).

My only other suggestion to you all, is DO NOT PIT ON THE LAST LAP FOR A DRIVER CHANGE! :D

Well maybe they can stand next to it, in victory lane!!!!!!

You are all useless!

B&D Racing have announced that we will field a team to compete at the Endurance Kart Racing Event, 15th August.

In an exclusive interview today team principal Mr. Keets said..

“It would be impossible to mention all of the people without whom today’s announcement may not have been possible, however I would like to express particular appreciation for the support we have received from the FIA Fédération Internationale de L’Automobile, Bridgestone, our other team partners and our many fans the world over. The journey ahead will be challenging but exciting and we know we can count on their continued enthusiasm for our team and its ambitions, we are expecting Keith and Ryan to exceed our expectations and deliver outstanding results, now if you will excuse me I have to grab a couple of beers before the locals nick them...oh and Team Ram Rod are gay, thank you".

weight disadvantage for the defending winners, great idea Bard :P

This coming from a man that went straight on into a tyre wall, instead of making a gentle left turn!

"It ain't the speed that kills you, it is the sudden stop!"

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
