Yeah, karts are a blast, but if you weigh more than about 120 pounds, weight just kills you.

Karts weigh around 200, minimum weight (with stock ignition) is 385 with driver. With programmable ignition, 420.Tin Bui wrote:I need to lose 90 lbs then!Kurt Rahn wrote:I resemble that remark!Steve Ekstrand wrote:I'm still trying to visualize Web in a kart.

If you ever need a co-driver to make a class in the future, just let me know.Tin Bui wrote:Thanks for the insight. I'll bring it out to maybe the March event.
Hey Quoc-Viet, I got it----non shifer kart. That's even better than an automatic---Quoc-Viet Dang wrote:If you ever need a co-driver to make a class in the future, just let me know.Tin Bui wrote:Thanks for the insight. I'll bring it out to maybe the March event.

At National events, they weigh you AFTER you run, so that could be a problem. Ask me how I know.......Darren Cole wrote:I would be at min weight with a full tank - Lets GO!Rick Brown wrote:I resemble that remark!Tin Bui wrote:I'm still trying to visualize Web in a kart.

Remember - water weighs 8#s per gallon. And in a pinch you can drink a lot of water. Sometimes while they make you make you wait for the scales. Or a second time on the scales....Rick Brown wrote: At National events, they weigh you AFTER you run, so that could be a problem. Ask me how I know.......
TaG's are eligible in F125, just to be clear (they aren't competitive because of the standing starts in Solo and some tight corners). But you're right in that there is no class specific for TaG's only (i.e. no other karts allowed such as shifters).Darren Cole wrote:I was considering a TAG too, but ran into the no class available, and stopped looking.

You guys are killing me! I did figure that out - after the fact. Actually kind of stressful when you are told you may be disqualified for 1 pound light. They certainly gave me plenty of tries to pass, including several locations on the scale and letting a few cars get weighed then trying again. All that time with a water cooler sitting there and I didn't even think of it............Steve Ekstrand wrote:KJ Christopher wrote:Remember - water weighs 8#s per gallon.

You can lead a kart driver to water, but you can't make him drink.
