One thing I *DO* know, some carts are faster than others. PM me with your paypal donations and I'll reveal all !

I specifically know of 1 cart that will never chase for the record as it sits right now, also I think I know which cart will break it.

Mike, I didn't touch the brakes anywhere...

Dude the super carts in richmond are more than a full second faster than standard carts. Also from what I hear Jason's personal cart is running in the teens. Granted he has a 13 hp engine and better tires. The super carts are 9hp and standard carts are 6.5hp (or close to those). I was also told that the super carts wont be here untill march of 05. So after the leagues get started and and more races happen I can see the times in the 24's and super carts in the 22's.

Also I was told that the carts are faster on new tires, to bad for me no cart got new tires today. And they replace the tire about once a week.

Oh well I'll say it again I suck!!!!

man when i was taking out the carts with brand new rear tires, those shits were so slick, youd spin out doing like 10mph. yeah jasons cars a lot lighter to for a cart also. well for those carts reaching 24's i hope the track is no where near being broken in or im screwed.

I was told that by the guy with ink down his forarm. As far ast the track being broken in I dont thing its event close. They have been open for like 4 weeks and times are dropping .5+ seconds a week. So we will see.

yeah, probably not anymore. i raced twice the other day and beat my last time by a tiny bit. i had to use the brakes a little bit, but by now, i'm sure a little off-throttle oversteer is all you'll need.

It is really going to be interesting to see how things lay out. I turned a 26.521 today. Alittle faster than the day before but I'm gonna plug away at it. I'm still leaving a lot on the table but getting faster everytime I go. Not to bad concidering that OVAL is my back ground. I just hope I can keep up.


LOL.... well see and good luck to all.
