@Chris, no one ever said the reason you were fast was only because of weight. The only reason we fast fatties couldn't keep up with you, though, is because of weight. I know I can definitely run up there with you if we had similar race weights, because we're good drivers. Same with Bobo, Ron, etc. It will be a really good race next time.

The heavier people are the only one saying I was fast because I am light(er) weight. So yeah, that's what it's sounding like. :icon17:

And weight doesn't even matter considering I wasn't the lightest out there... So if you want to use that excuse, even I shouldn't have won.

lol so rather than accept you're experience may be the reason you won vs some lighter people... you derail it all by saying something like weight not mattering? :icon17:

in any case, there are far to many variables. Not only can there be variations in weight, but we all know no kart is alike. Some may have better tuning, more/less gas, newer tires, better brakes.

I got in one cart and the brakes were awesome... the last kart had almost nothing. You could also tell one being more *** happy then another...

Only one way to settle this, lets all go to SPK right now and do night enduro race in the rain. Fgts.

Never said we'd be better. We just said it would be a close race. :hello:

I think you're taking offense because you think we're trying to discredit your speed saying its only due to your weight. That's not true at all.

Agreed on the karts. 10 and 14 were good for me. 16 was complete sh!t.

I'm not saying it doesn't matter. I'm saying that other people are saying I only did "better" because I am lighter than them... Well there were people lighter than me, so by their logic, I should have not done as well...

I know all too well the truths about karting thanks to my experience with them. But you are exactly correct there, no 2 karts are the same. No matter how much you try to make the "weight factor" as balanced as you can.

I wish I could have Kart 29 all day. That thing had some power! I posted my best time of 64.2 on that one lol.

No one is saying you did better because of weight. I'm saying I was not up there with you because of my weight disadvantage. I know I can wheel it and can run up front in equal equipment.

Whatever, though. We'll sort it all out next time.

You're hearing what you want to hear. No one is discrediting you. Quit being stubborn.

Masa 04-29-2013 09:13 PM

Less talk, more planning for next kart session!
