You have mistaken me for not living in the boonies. No kart track around here that I know of anyhow except for some indoor place in Omaha. If the car doesn't sell then more seat time next year.
Woodhouse event, yes I plan to be there. I have registered for both days. I hope the car at least shows some improvment at the track. There anyhow I can quantify any improvment or move backwards. Several hundred laps of the track so I know when things are good or not.
couple of tweeks to the car for the track day. First is the original tank is now back in place. Never had a starvation problem with it in so it will likely stay. With the stock tank I may also be able to make more than a couple laps before empty. Also the exhaust went back to the damn that sounds good pipes. With just a bit of stainless wool to save the ears drums. I swear removal of the muffler just changes the entire attitude of the car.
I had to tie the wool to the screen. I am not sure why but it would suck several inches back up the pipe when the engine was turned off. At idle you can see the wool pulsing to the beat of the engine. When reved it is plastered against the exit screen. The stainless scrub pads total around 4" thick on each side.
