while I don't disagree entirely; a workable solution needs to be found with our governing body.

The basic premises of the changes made (read: club and national license); was to get more membership and also provide a little more $$ to enable further support. baby and bath water blabla

but there isn't currently enough to worry about it at the mo...

4.10.8 At closing date for entries, if a minimum of 6 valid paid entries have not been received then the championship class will not run for that year provided that if the event is part of a series then this will apply only to that round.

Also, the thought of driving the chair over the blind left at toke has me both intrigued and a little afraid

Got some lap times from Mary..

Race 2 your best time was ............. (drum rolling) .......... 35.780 woohooo!!!!!!

I won't ask what our best lap time was, it may have been the one we pushed the chair over the line for the chequered flag...

How about some context for us out of townies?

What's a good A grade lap time, what's a B grade lap time?

record is about 29. 34 you can move to A grade, 32 you willa be kicked into A. 36 you can be in C grade.

I usually manage mid to low 32s to mid 31s. You'll be a couple of seconds faster

What could possibly go wrong? We should get someone to follow us around with a helmet cam at some stage though if that doesn't sound too dodgy.

**Henk** · 24th September 2012, 21:16

Second thoughts maybe we should try and go a bit faster and head straight to A grade, B grade is scary.

Obviously quoting the wrong person, as I'm lucky to get in the high 30s (as in 38, 39)

My thoughts are that the larger wheels would be be better, but possibly a limited rubber selection, where as kart rims can run sticky kart rubber.

Opinions?

Hey Pumba, seen photos of your sidecar

it's now sitting on my mates front lawn in Marton. Only took two months to get there from Fielding, at this rate you should get it by june next year. That will give you plenty of time to save up for some new 10 inch mini tyres, none of those roller skate wheels and tyres like Rick and Henks and Gazzza's ones . It's got real wheels and tyres, will PM you latter hopefully with photos.
