Hi all,

First of all, john, im glad you enjoyed it as much as we all did. It was an animal all day! Going round cafe curve on half throttle keeping up with the max's, give it full throttle and end up going broadside up the rumblestrip like a mad man! The circuit photographer was there at the end of the day and got some epic shots, including one at the bottom hairpin with the inside front wheel in the air while im on full opposite lock.

Ian, the rears are only in as thats how it came when i bought the kart, i did think i would need to move one of them (front/rear), but i wasnt sure which end, and by how much? What would be your recommend increments of movement? As for the hopping, im always up for learning so please do :) When i was describing it to others, i was saying the inside rear wheel was lifting up, but lifting too high, causing the outside rear wheel to loose grip, causing it to slide and put both tyres on the ground, then the inside would lift up etc etc the cycle continues, is this along the right lines? or am i being completley stupid as usual haha

Hetherip, The bumper was done up tightly as i've lost a bumper before and its extremely annoying, so i had it tight with some zip-clips for good measure (haha) As you say it sounds like i need to move the rear hubs around. As for the practicing, i'd love to do it again but i wont be able to for some time, i had to borrow some money to buy the kart so need to get it paid off before i get the beast out again, but should be nearer the end of the year, i'll give you a shout when i can if you like?

Thanks for the help, Thomas......................
