Hey Scott,
Glad I didn’t offend you as I seemed to offend others and it wasnt the intent. Totally understand the time issues. I’m calling in the fathers day card to do the race on Sunday (since I’m the father). No practice today, instead I’m taking the boys up to Frisco to go to the BBQ challenge. I figured 2 full days at the track is too much to ask of them.
Trust me I don’t confuse the indoor track with outdoor karting. They both take skill but it’s a different type of driving. With that said I love indoor karting, and I have to say there doesnt seem to be any drama there. I took Austin up to Bandimere and we drove 10 laps on a leapord. When we were done he said “dad that was the most fun thing I have ever done”, since he as done a lot of fun things that was a pretty big comment. I was shocked with the speed of the kart. I did do one race in a Rotax (before my big crash at the 2001 supernationals), and I remember the rotax being slow out of the corners with lots of top speed, but the leapord pulled pretty hard through the entire range. I drove a direct drive once and it kind of reminded me of that. It also seemed like the motor could explode at any time. Of course I’m an old gear slammer and feel very comfortable with the thought of a stock moto.
I’ll probably come out to watch the race at the track the weekend of the 27th to watch. I’d like to get your take on what might be a good class for me to look at IF I end up getting back into karting. I’m going to PM you my contact info, if you want you can PM me your contact info back.
If something comes up and I don’t see you on the 27th, good luck at the grands.
