that is awesome. Do you guys race dirt or asphalt? We run on dirt but my father in law has ran an asphalt car before for a while. You should get your daughter into go carts, they race them a lot around here. I am serious though i have only been here a month but you will love my articles i have done if you love racing. I have one posted up about a wooden half mile track they used to have here in kansas city. Yes, it was made of wood.
I started in go karts at 8 years old, hoping to get our daughter in one by 4! I’m looking forward to reading your blogs!
dang 8. thank you. a little protip from my brother in laws kart racing days. when we would watch him he could never tell us what the car was doing so we put 2 big zip ties up like bunny ears so we could visually see if the car was tight or loose. made tuning it in a lot easier being able to see where the car was actually being turned instead of relying on driver feedback.
\ / .............like that on the steering wheel.
That’s a sweet idea. Especially for young racers!
yep. we also have a saying for when we are trying to explain handling terminology
--tight is when the front of the car hits the wall first
-- loose is when the back of the car hits the wall first
--horse power is how fast you hit the wall
--torque is how far you move the wall when you hit it
Hahaha, I will have to tell my dad those.
