The kart was MUCH more composed when I did that and it seemed as if I could keep the RPM's up longer because it wasnt sliding around and bogging down.
they close at 10 if i recall right and if we want some time i mean what 7 or 730? i mean it should be dead on that night and we wont have the wait time.....

think 3 hours will be good?

I lean back in the seat to put my ass over the rear wheels more. I don't weigh much so all the extra traction helps.

Any advice from the faster guys?
Also, with my car being down and me building two motors, I can't make it every time. Only around paydays.

my seat is usually back all the way but i lean forward as you can see in my pics. its comfortable for me and the kart slides just enough and hooks up just enough to make it work, i never perfected a seat position...... a guy who used to work there DID WONDERS even tho he was bigger than us... (6'3 250 he ran with us back then he had his seat all the way back and sat straight back....) so ionno about seat positioning....
