[quote=saa73][quote=Jules]I cannot understand too and we will never do standing starts on 125….PERIOD. Foul plugs will be 50% reason all will be stranded.
Actually the 1st corner after the start on the 1st lap is taken slower than norm so I dunno why this is dangerous. Controlled agression is called for and I expect some bumping here as well, all done at slower speed so it’s ok – so that’s part of the accepted game.
Of course spinners are not welcomed….he he he
[/quote] …agreed, I think everyone was controlled at the first corner…except that spinner dude…
[/quote]yeah lah.. basket lah that spinner dude.. panggil die … kasi hantam..

Mikko – would u agree on above? [/quote]
jules,
it is just my opinion.. and my feel… but 1st corner is where the nervous really kick in… so ur judgment at 1st corner is really bad.. the tire is cold, with hard compound is even worse. again i mention u guys all pro driver.. my 2cent become 0.2 cent already..Don’t Just DRive IT, fEEL it!!!
[quote=mikko][quote=feekey]Greetings,
anyway my humble opinion is that if we are running on a hard compound tire, we should not go for the rolling start, its too dangerous. 1st corner is the main killer, what happen there was the enthusiasm of me at the 1st corner. but again there are pro n con about this starting style.
[/quote]Pro would be that other than some shifter kart categories a rolling start is the only way every kart series anywhere starts. Care to explain why you feel it’s more dangerous than a standing start? Usually a rolling start is considered as the safer option. Also why does the hard compound make it more dangerous than when using a soft compound? Just curious ’cause I can’t really see the reasoning.
As kart engines aren’t designed to go good from 0 you’d see massive differences on how karts get off the grid on a standing start.[/quote]
my reasoning, is simple.. too enthusiast at the 1st corner when rolling start.. and hard compound is dangerous because no grip especially with these machines 125cc, which u racer dont even use it when practicing..do you think when im in the hard compound chassing the front runner i want to brake early?? i rather go outside the track or bang the front runner’s kart from behind…but yes i might be slower going off the track.. arghh dont care.. (ppl can be like that u know) but we are frenly driver i guess. and lucky we have fazz as a father that will talk to u if u driving too dangerous.
and yes i know the kart is not so good for a standing start.. but again, its for fun.. most races u mention doing rolling start, well now are we adapting the most races system?
that is what i feel.. but u guys should know more.. since u all racing professionally.. rite..

Greetings,
To me the overall race was superb…. the lap 10,10,12 or 12, 12,15 is ok with me, but not sure if im fit enuff to run for 15 laps. anyway, my experience with the kart, tire play really important part of my chasis setup and the way i drive. hence we make so much adjustment with the chassis.. what is done.. emm secret lah hahaha. anyway my humble opinion is that if we are running on a hard compound tire, we should not go for the rolling start, its too dangerous. 1st corner is the main killer, what happen there was the enthusiasm of me at the 1st corner. but again there are pro n con about this starting style.I pity most of u guys that rented the kart there. the kart is really no in good condition and machanic support is not there as well. but again that fall in the cost n budget section.
In this condition, hard compound tire, cold weather and slipery track surface play important role in setting up the whole kart thing. from engine, chassis and driving style. mayb im a little faster because of i like to drive in wet… hehehe i like it WET!!! told that to jen.. hahahahaha.
Tires should be at least run for another 5 races. It can last … that long, plus we only do 40 laps per race so not much rubber burned. i use to do about 20 hours of karting on a hard compound. and the tire are still good. if only we can lower down the cost for K1.
Just wondering yeah guys, what about the K2 if i use my chassis with 100cc engine. can that be arrange? i can use the hard compound tire again… let c if i still have my yamaha 100cc engine in the store.??
Tarmizi is a good driver, but he need more experience in guarding his racing line and overtaking manuver

[quote=luen]true true true. Wow it just like having affair out there, can not let wife know about the truth and is costly….
———————————-
neat, balance and practical[/quote]hahaha man.. is all of us sharing the same concept??
Don’t Just DRive IT, fEEL it!!!
lupa to thank all of u for the great event… hope to race again.. if im not sent to other country or state…
Don’t Just DRive IT, fEEL it!!!
if you guys are talking about the hidden cost, well i have to pay them as well.. im just comparing the race fees. i still have to pay for transport to bring the kart there, plugs, lube, fuel, and mechanics cost.. yes it is expensive to race.. but again the tire we running can last for another 12 races.. trust me.. i know. from that we can save a lot.
as for CK for giving a discount yeah i assumed they do that. the main things is the mechanic is not helping.. alwaysss in a race like that. even with my own kart i race before, the mechanic told me.. need to go fast.. buy another kart.. wtf…
and yes running ur own kart is much cheaper partly… not much different.. ask fazz lah how much he spent…
Don’t Just DRive IT, fEEL it!!!
the price is expensive if we need to buy the tire..but going to use it only once. if on not mistaken, the rental kart is about rm500 rite. but for own kart only rm 330
ok let see,
track rental rm 50
tire rm 280
kart rental is rm 170if you recalculate the cost its not that expensive. the tire we are using can be use again for at least 20 races. meaning for rental kart you guys only pay rm170. and K2 you guys pay is around rm150? so i feel its not much different. so next race we dont have to buy the tire… amacam?
