Blue_ back out on his Kart :)
 

Took my Kart out yesterday to a place called 'Forest Edge' - near Andover.

I have youtube'd some onboard footage from the day :) ... I apologies for me trying to 'jaz up' my clip with the video editing ... I was trying to build some sort of introduction ... my bad?!?! :oops: :D

Enjoy :)

That's just plain silly ... :D ... there's always one!!! .[-( :D .. some nice rear-end steering there 8) ... a Gixer engine in a kart seems a little OTT really!! :D ... that said, at a fullsize track like that, a kart like mine would just be flat out all the time ... where's the fun in that!?! and it'd just go POP! ...

I know it doesn't look like it in the vid, but my kart is actually geared for 82mph at that track* ... and if you listen to the revvs, I am flat out in parts and it would pull taller gearing :shock: .... so mibie capable of 90mph with the correct gearing? (believe me 80 is fast enough when ya bum is scraping on the ground and you only have a boiler-suit on!! :lol:).

Anyway, 80mph is fine for a kart track, but would seem painfully slow on a fullsize like that!! So you would NEED a GIXER thou engine ... ;) ... well OK not NEEED!!! .... :lol:

*again it doens't look like it, but that GIXER must have been deep in the 3 figures at times!! :shock:

You kinda forget how much energy there is in things like this until it goes horribly wrong!! :D ... I thought karting would be oner of my 'safer' hobbys!! :D

Looks very nasty when they flip, how much do they weigh? Do you wear any armour under the boiler suit?

Re: Blue_ back out on his Kart :)
 

I don't honestly know, but prolly ~40-50kg? Its gonna smart if it lands on you at speed ... :shock: :-(

And no I don't, just a t-shirt which I thought would be ok as it has 4 wheels .... but I am thinking about it now ... :D
