[quote=edwynlow]talk about ironman challenge.. take a look at this – 24hours go kart race at dubai track

Great vid Edwyn and I gather that they were running water cooled 4 stoke engines (maybe Mark can comment a bit on these karts?). I think it would cost an arm and a leg to run for 24 hours unless a sugar daddy (ok la, sugar mommy oso can) is behind all this.

Lets do the one driver-one hour iron man challenge for a start on Feb 16 (that Vietnam dude will be grateful indeed). :up:

Btw Folks,
Assuming that races using the CRG karts will in fact be a reality come 1st December or in the round 1 of 2008, we need to discuss the pros and cons of the following:

1. Eligibility to participate
1.1 Only to my-kart members who have paid their current dues? However, there could be a possibility that this action could be seen by my-kart website members as ‘elitist’ perhaps?
1.2 The other option is to open it to all qualified drivers (will have to define “qualified drivers”)but giving “good discounts” to kelab my-kart members with the intention to attract more members.

2. Selection of Drivers
2.1 Current K2 and K1 categorised drivers can qualify automatically
2.2 K3 drivers or others will need to satisfy my-kart committee / senior drivers
2.3 A my-kart committee to approve eligible drivers should formalised asap.

Please discuss.

Folks, some update on the CRG kart:

After trying out the CRG for a few laps (ahem!…some of us did more than just a few laps), Fazz and I finally got AP to say it. The 10 CRG karts will be ready to run in conjunction with our one off 2 hour enduro on December 1. Of course, whether we can actually run it on 1st December as a K1 trial event depends on your interest and response in this category.

[quote=TheFazz][quote=naza]Folks,
We need a reliable weighing scale…does my-kart have one now?[/quote]

wouldn’t the CK weighing scale suffice?[/quote]

…you mean the big timbang kati one used to weigh driver and kart for the K1 races before? I was thinking of a small one just to weigh drivers with their gear.

Last Sunday, some of you guys (Patrick, Luen, Desmond, Jack Soo, Ruben, Mumu….who else?) managed to ‘hantam’ CK’s CRG/125 test kart a few laps each. So how did you find it? …..was it gooooodddzzzzzz?

[naza]

Ah Luen!,

Need confirmation on Qualifying Procedure:

Q1 : Each team is free to decide which driver or drivers will drive in the qualifying session, ie, no restriction on number of drivers for qualifying.

Q2 : If the team have more than one driver in the qualifying session, the quickest lap time is taken?

aiyooo…. how cud you forget me :shy:
me too lah…. no rezeki to test the CRG ;( huaaa!![/quote]

Aiyoooh, sorry bro, forgot about u. :shy:

This saturday, my man is our turn to try out the kart.

This time, Luenatic, Gooodzzzz, Jac & Rawflesh should try to catch us with the 100cc kart instead of us doing the chasing with the 100cc kart as per last weekend. 😉
[/quote]

aiyoo.. that one lap doesn’t really count. haven’t even step on it fully.. was only testing the handling, brakes and throttle. as i was going to start drooling, the sky drooled first.. sigh~ this saturday.. we test kau kau la..

anyway , saturday what time? please pray for the dark side to be at other areas and not CK. may the force be with CK~[/quote]
…the bomoh put his job second last weekened, instead he lanyak the CRG kart kau kau!

[quote=Nohad]Are we going to have some endurance races in between as there is a very high probablity that I’m going to miss the whole 2008 round series :O ;( [/quote]

We should assuming we can generate enough interest using the new CRG/125 rotax package that some of us was fortunate enough to have driven it.

[naza]

Luen,
As discussed, we are now leaning towards using solely ballast instead of the 6kg + penalty system. We also toyed with this idea since last week (Fazz was there) and this wet afternoon hours ago…….cheh! missed the CRG testing!

Right now we have 15 teams on the thread :

Assumption : 280 kg – MINIMUM total weight

Ladies : No weight handicap allowed.

0. Team Name|Drivers wt.x4|add ballast|
1. TeleVas I|286 kg|add:nil kg|
2. TeleVas II|292 kg|add:nil kg|
3. Dances wth Crocs|280| add: nil kg|
4. Supercross Inc.|281 kg|add: nil kg|
5. Hiroko-San|289 kg|add: nil kg|
6. Aliens |268 kg |add: 3kg|
7. Tail Happy|276 kg|add : 1 kg|
8. Matrix|267 kg| add: 3 kg |
9. Satria Neo I| 256 kg|add : 6 kg|
10. Satria Neo II|259 kg|add : 6 kg|
11. Furtive|252 kg|add: 7 kg|
12. VM Motorsport|227 kg|add: 13 kg|
13. Vertical Speed|256 kg|add: 6 kg|
14. Heritage|254 kg| add: 7 kg|
15. 360 Deg|279kg|add 1 kg|

Total ballast needed = 18 x 3 kg = 54 kg

Note A: CK ballast are in 3kg configurations. So, minmum ballast added will be 3 kg.

Note B: In the event, that there is insufficient ballast weights, we can drop the minimum weight requirement to say 270 kg so that a few more teams will not require ballast.

Note C: Since transponders are use, we can us the 10 or 15 minutes to test and qualify for grid postions at the same time?

[quote=timmsm]not for me… you cannot flap your wings on the 100cc. Also it would be a lot more costly in comparison to 80cc[/quote]

….also CK does not allow endurance on its 100cc, seems they are not too confident that the current crop of air cooled engines can run trouble free for long endurances. However, they are encouraging us to run endurances next year on the CRG/125 RotaxMax water cooled engines.

Folks,

Lightest team = 227kg, Heaviest team = 289kg, difference = 62 kg…! I gather that its about 1.3 seconds for every 10kg per lap. That works out to 8 secs / lap faster for the 227kg team over the 289kg team.

we need to reexamine the present 6kg + time penalty method whether its effective…..as we discussed this afternoon at during the chicken wings session.

Suggestions:
Introduce a two category race, one for heavy teams (weight to be determine) and the other for Lighter teams (weight to be determine).

…Guys, we need to get an alternative solution quick….3 weeks to go.
