    I have had similar advice, just not in those exact words. Will be trying again next month.

    I think some of this conversation would be better left/moved in the Wellington Bucket thingy..

    But, on the face of it the 45 second rule is working well (having watched a lot over the last few years).

    if you are pulling sub 50's then it wont be long before you will improve back down to 45, but chances are you wont be alone given the calibre of some of the newbies out there in the weekend.

    Maybe, if the b grade numbers are down a little one/two of the A graders could go out for a couple/three of laps in a non points race; to show what is possible... nothing better than following someone faster..

    Would it be worth having a bucket only training day where A graders teach B graders lines along with marshal training?

    Even a chance to walk around the track with someone would be greatly appreciated.

    I know I have a long way to go and a lot still to learn, so please be patient with me.
    Yes 4 strokes are for homos. Homo-sapiens that is, who have realized bigger is better.

    Join the club and let me know anyone who wants to learn a few things and I can come down and do some practice riding. I have a membership at the kart club. I'm not as skilled as Fishy or Glen but I think I have some things that might help. I'm no good with how to fine tune suspension but I know what can be reasonably ok for certain things (was talking to Sully the other day who is helping me out with my suspension).

    I would be more than happy to help some B grade riders go a few seconds a lap faster the safe way (i.e. not the way I was doing it for the first few months of me starting buckets).

    I'm going to join when the new financial year starts. After paying for the parts to rebuild my engine my funds for such things is near on dry until then.
