Carried it well enough for 2NZ (fuck I get a lot of secondsOriginally Posted by scrivy
You had a 250 superkart????
How did it carry your weight????no Scrivy not that kind of seconds,) and fast enough to go 10 sec a lap faster than you've ever gone around Ruapuna
I may have been about 10kg lighter at the time, it was a pretty good time back then, sometimes I raced Karts, Buckets and Sidecars at the same meetings

Only 60 kgs????fast enough to go 10 sec a lap faster than you've ever gone around Ruapuna
Not bad when all the other karts were going 20 seconds a lap faster......
I may have been about 60kg lighter at the time
You raced sidecars???I thought you just did parade laps......
Is it still beastiality if ya fuck a frozen chicken??

Well, an eventful and successful day today.
Took the chair up to our secret test location for some better testing and open her up a bit.
First impressions of carrying some pace... Holy SHIT does this thing boogie! Crickey but I do like these hyper bike motors! Turns pretty well, it's stable and predictable.
We ran it with no fairing so it would have been a bit light in the front, but it's hard to get the thing to keep turning right out of a turn, when you wanna get the throttle open hard. Leanne's chair was the same, but I don't recall having the problem on the Windle. Ride height is a touch high at the front, so once that's sussed I hope it improves things. Softer front end will help too.
Great result all things considered, and plenty of helpful info for us to improve things and be more ready come race day!

Toss it in harder and get your swinger further forward, you should be able to light up the back and steer it on the throttle

That works for the slower turns, but when we're carrying a bit more speed through a turn and coming onto a straight it's a bit harder.
I know it's one of the challenges of riding a chair, I just thought someone might know of some tricks.
Al is also used to a much larger deck area. He was saying that on the small test track it was all he could do to hang on in places.

Thats exactly why I have to square the corners off on my pig. It simply wont turn under acceleration. You either have to quickly shut off the throttle for a millisecond, and it helps bring the rear around, and enables you to turn the front, or, you have to try more throttle - good luck getting that one right.......
If ya look at my on board footage from HD at the BSTT, you'll see it's turned hard to the right, but it's going straight to the outside of the corner.....
Oh yeah, when I raced without a fairing, it made no noticeable difference to the down force.
How far forward was Al around rights?

Pretty much half way up my back. He can't stay that far forward under full throttle though, thing goes pretty well.

Not even if he's giving you a reach around?
edit: actually now I think about it there's probably nothing for him to hold onto

Hand hold is too small.

I made a new rear brake lever today. Twelve mill alloy plate with a couple of bearings to run on. The old one was all kinds of shit.
While you sit there liking things just cos' everyone else does, I'll be standing up here keeping it real.

Can ya take a pic of the right hand side so we can see the whole brake system in one shot?

I'll take one once the new lever is mounted up. It'll probably be mounted up higher and further forward of the current. Drew hardly has dancers legs.

That looks great bro. Your tig welding skills are better than the dude who did the head stock.
