Ole Smitty couldn’t trash talk his way out of a paper bag Doug. I’d be liberal in the use of that term with him.
Anyways, Rick’s not cold. He has the thermostat set at his house around 75 cuz he’s a girlie man. :k
Doug – Yup!
Mikey – Nope!
Exactly, lets get some of that frustrated racer thing going. There are those racing and it’s fun to follow them while were waiting to see dry ground again.
I know some of the new guys have a piece of racing equipment at home just having a s*#t fit waiting to get out and run. It’s a good time to toss it around on the forum and not be afraid to get on here and say something stupid (got that covered) or worry about getting flamed, could happen but you still shouldn’t worry about it.
Cool to see the four stroke guys on here getting anxious, Freeze jumping in here and there. Lets get this thing back to where it used to be and stop being so critical of every little expression.
Doug , are you thinking about another chassis tuning workshop after the Winter Tour?
Oh ya, Girlie man? Jansen, aren’t you the one who called me “my pretty”?

Hear hear… 😥
Garrrick,
Don’t miss it if Doug & Greg have a chassis tuning get together at their shop. There are so many small adjustments you can perform to make big differences in consistency and performance. Plus, it’s fun to rub elbows with the other racers as well. A lot of competitors and many other shop owners and team mangers show to share and shoot the breeze as well. There is a lot of information that could be considered “sacred” that is shared amongst the karter’s.
I remember someone telling me to float the seat in Romans kart in certain situations, well I had never heard of it before and it served a purpose quite well, then standing at one of Doug’s tuning seminars he described it in front of “God and everybody” but that’s what’s cool. You still have to go out and test and let your driver feel these things and gain knowledge to understand what the kart is doing.
There may be some of you who have a miss mounted seat, and you know what. It’s never going to work right and the best drivers / tuners around may not be able to overcome it. Can be pretty interesting.
Plus, if you haven’t seen Shockwave, it really is a state of the industry facility worth a good tour.
