"yes, Rodney Peterson, Clubman Heavy...."

"We have a few guys in heavy that try to go to the same meetings so we do get better numbers. Numbers are slowly getting better. Thought there would have been more at the yellow tail cup this year but only 8. Going to try and get to lithgow more."

"Go karting is getting much like speedway, too many classes to keep up good numbers. Clubbies are great, fairly cheap to run. its a shame that numbers have dropped of but i have also seen numbers drop in big speedway classes, they raent looking at…"

"I've used it in the past with some success. The tyre temp analysis is pretty useful. I tend to use the other bit (corner divided into 3 sections) as a bit of a back-up plan rather than a go-to. eg. The kart is doing x, I'm considering…"

"80% of wet weather driving is just practice and confidence rather than setup.But setup wise, the main aim of the game is to use as much mechanical jack as you can to pick the rear wheel up as high as you can.Sometimes, well, a lot of the time these…"

"Yeah sort of worked that one out a bit late hey. I think brain to foot transfer is a bit slow kingy...."

"Bit earlier on the brakes at turn 1 rod ;)"

"Depending on how your engine is setup there may be no way it's going to reach 15300 Those pipe measurements seem to be on the longer side (less revs but more pull). But it depends where you measure from.  Ultimately your engine builder…"

"I will also agree, if you look where you drive in the dry, try to drive on that part of the track as little as possable, brake to the inside of the race line, cross the race line then drive around the out side of the corner, then cross the race line…"

"I ran my pipe length from 385 out to 405mm. Didnt seem to matter what changes i made to my pipe or kart which were minimal my times and revs stayed the same, should i be trying to hit 15 300 or there abouts all the tiime or be happy my times were…"

"What are you trying to achieve? More speed at the end of straights or more punch off corners? What is your pipe length? "

"Thanks guys, do need to practice in the wet. A lot of my problem id say is i was staying on the racing line. Will try troys ideas next time and i am confident i will go better. Thank you everyone "

"Hi Rodney,   my advice is soften the kart up. Loosen pods , middle bearing etc... Most important thing is tyre pressure Alot of rain = 40psi steady rain = 30psi wet track no rain = 20psi drying track = 16psi   The rest my friend is in the…"

"Were u still taking a normal racing line?? No grip on the racing line in the rain. "

"Hey david,  i have the owners manual but am looking to know what you do with the rest of the kart. Do you loosen stuff like rear bar, side pods, tighten third bearing or loosen, loosen floor tray, seat stays that sort of stuff. Did the basics…"
