Not particularly hard on tires. Last year I was able to race all weekend on a one race old set that I used at Hallett on a hot day and then I was able to race again with them at Garnett and Afton I think. I did rotated them on the rims after the weekend and side by side from Saturday to Sunday. there is a lot of Right hand turns that make the left tires wear a little more.

Chris, my guys thought it was hard on tires. Of course, it was HOT, which it should not be this time, crooked, and pretty abrasive.

Chris,
I will say no but, weather, chassis set up and type tires does make a difference.

Sounds like we will have some guests from the East at this event!!!!! SUPER.

I think it's the best track we run on in the series...........and yes I think it is hard on tires. Hope I get my new one ready!!

2 down 2 to go!!! Very Happy

Any volunteers to put new bodywork on Lindsay's???????

Roger,
Set chassis up right and it's not hard on tires!!! Laughing

I do believe the cooler weather will make a difference on tires. Any track that is demanding we run on during the hottest time of the year, will make a difference on tires in my opinion.

MPH entry form and event schedule is on the KART web (www.kart.org)

People have asked what type gear ratio to run at MPH. I can tell you that we gear MPH 2-3 teeth more then HPT, Afton or Barber in a laydown Piston Port kart. We have on 15-74, 33" tires.

Any you KART shifter guys help on the shifters??

You can go on the KART web and click on MPH and watch a video of the track.

Sounds like the numbers should be good. Appreciate those from the East who are coming, you won't be dissapointed!!!!!

I was informed that shifters should gear for around 98-100 mph top speed or so. I set up two mod CR125's at 18/23 on 34" static tire circumference.

Can't tell ya how that will work out.....I've not been to Hastings yet.....but I do know who to ask. Wink

Two more weeks, but who's counting?
Hey, all, as some of you may know from my raving about Valentino's Pizza, I love it! And because of that, we (Baldus, Jim E., MARRS) thought it might be a great idea to have a pizza party Saturday night @ MPH. Haven't worked everything out just yet, but we will be ordering pizza to be delivered to the track, and have some beer and pop available. Count on it, and I will circulate through the pits during the day to get a head count on how many to order for.
See ya.

Sounds great to me! I'm looking forward to the event for sure. I am down to only about one hundred 5 min. jobs and I'll be ready to head north with 3+ karts. We'll probably load up and head north to Hastings before noon Friday. Hoping for a great weekend.

Linda, I won't say that one word four letter word, but I will say that I would love to use those tires that have been drying out on the tire rack for the last several years!!!
