Told Brian I’m in for the HPC event. Has the Racing for Children date been set yet? Tried finding it on this site without much luck.
cheers.[/quote]
Racing For Children launch will be on the same day after the HPC and during lunch. We have pretty much been working offline on this – but hopefully you will see some materials soon. For now, Ronald McDonald’s Children’s Charity are our Racing For Children partner.
Adi’s incredibly fast. Met him yesterday at Elite. Saw him putting his specially modified machine through its paces.
Basically his steering wheel is replaced by a bike-like handle bar system.
Rock Island GP looks cool. racing used to be done on street circuits & public roads before custom built tracks came into the picture. Street races creates a lot of buzz and brings in the curious onlookers. Some oohs and aahs as the event goes by. Awesome. Rock Island Photos.
[quote=mikko]actually the genting event was held at the theme park kart track. 125’s did only time trial as it was pointless to have a race. 85cc’s had an endurance race complete with driver changes iirc.
The best public street kart race imo held in recent years in Malaysia was the Johor Kart Prix in 2002. Roads were closed for use by the karters, a short ~30sec course in 125’s with tyre chicanes. During the weekend I damaged two axles, two tie-rods, steering shaft, a radiator, and cracked my seat. The track was a bit dangerous.. with a fair bit of improvements that could’ve been made, but there was a crowd!
To see a bit on how a street kart race really should be organised try a google search on “rock island grand prix.”[/quote]
thanks for the input mikko. a 30sec track for 125cc karts is probably a bad recipe for costly repairs. 60sec is about right for any form of kart track.
[quote=luen]Hi is this open for other car club as well? I am interested, wodering if i can pull more ppl from my club?[/quote]
YES.

[quote=Jules]Mikko Nassi raced there, so maybe he can share his experience. Driving a 125 there was not easy.
A few years back, a full competition race along the beachfront road at Johor Baru was also held……
I know we can all dream but this ( street course ) requires far more logistic and connections to pull off…..[/quote]
The Genting race sounds cool as does the beachfront in JB. I know this is but a dream now… but not totally impossible.
[quote=Jules]in 2002 ( not exactly sure ), the Astro held a challenge along the Bintang Walk. ( simple course, but I never saw it myself )
U want exotic? – there was a full 125cc race along the undulating streets of GENTING HIGHLAND….yes, the normal road around the casino. Bent shafts from kerb crashes – common. I chicken out on that event.
Heard it was damp, cold but exciting! Monaco style.
[/quote]
The Genting Highlands route sounds interesting. You mean, they actually raced there? When, who organised it? What was the outcome?
As for Astro’s bintang walk, I saw that… and it was a simple tight course – more suitable for funkarts or less.
Agree with OSF on the straight streets of sultan ismail etc. Lake Garden is nice, but not sure what routes exactly. Around PJ state would be good starting from the front of the old JPJ office, down to the roundabout, and u-turn back towards the same road.
[quote=alfagta]also must remember the first thing to do is to check the cost from citykarting or kartquest & the venue for having such event.
We also must have a sponsorship letter proposal on this event for the sponsorship parties,so that we can cover all the expenses….[/quote]of course, the cost, license and the rest of the promotions matters will have to be worked out… but I just want to get your ideas on a specific route in town… I am thinking of somewhere within the Golden Triangle, something like:
Start-finish along Jalan Bukit Bintang along the landmarks like the Marriot, StarHill, Regent. Then there is a right turn at the traffic light after the Regent into Jln Sultan Ismail. Followed by another right turn at the traffic light opposite Genting into Kia Peng(?). On Kia Peng, we can do a bit more configuration (for a some mixture of left and right turns) as this part is fairly wide. After this complex, we then turn right again into Jln Bukit Bintang and onto the start-finish.
This is a fairly simple layout. I am sure there are someparts of town that has some interesting layouts. Remember we can re-configure some wide parts of the streets for hairpins, esses, chicanes etc.
