Open Kart Rentals - Oct 28 - BeaveRun Wilson Circuit

[SeanB]

I am thinking about going up and renting the karts for either half an hour or an hour. ($55 for a half hour or $80 for an hour, most of us will not last an hour.) The karts are direct drive Birel karts with Honda engines.

The course is 0.44 mile circuit featuring 12 turns, average lap times are around 42-44 second range with an average speed of about 35-36 mph. Top speed down the front straight is 45-50 mph.

If anyone is interested post here, on rental kart days they allow a max of 10 people on track at any time. Their rental time slot if 10AM - 2PM on Oct 28.

We have 8 karts reserved... list so far...

I'm definately interested, I haven't ridden a real go cart since I was 12.

[SeanB]

I think Johnny is in as well
Nate probably so... he wants to kick my ass

So thats atleast 4 of us... ricer can fit 5.

[Brucey]

In that case, shotgun.

[johnnytavo]

Yeah I am like in unless something serious comes up

[johnnytavo]

haha jk I am in

[administerturbo]

i'd like to come also. not sure yet. how can we be guaranteed to ride if we come up(get there an hour early)? g/f might want to drive for 30 mins too.

[SeanB]

Basically you call in and reserve the karts, what I'll end up doing is reserving 8 karts for the 1-1:30 time slot.

[administerturbo]

dang. wish i lived a little closer. will know if i'm going in a day or so.

[SeanB]

Do it dude... its gonna be a blast.

I'll post once I have the karts reserved.

[SeanB]

I have 8 karts rented from 11:00 - 11:30 with a possibility to go longer. That was the only time slot they had that would allow us to run as a group by ourselves. (They changed their max rules, its 6 now but I arranged for 8.)

This means we have to leave Morgantown no later than 9:30AM.

List so far...

Is there a website where I can find more details? I am thinking about going.

[administerturbo]

count me out :( too busy. being grown up sucks!

[SeanB]

That sucks... we gotta make a trip the next time you are out this way.

List updated, possibly only 2 karts left. If anyone is interested please let me know asap.

[Brucey]

We still on for this? Johnny bailed cause he's a loser.

[SeanB]

Yeah we are still on. Heck if no one else goes I am still going.

I will make Johnny unbail...

[Brucey]

And I will make society capable of faster than light travel.

(Because its easier)

I'm definately still in though :D

[SeanB]

FYI:

You will need to wear jean or some long pants, socks, shoes (cannot be sandals or open toed shoes), long sleeve tshirt. They will provide a karting jacket, neck brace, helmet and gloves.

[SeanB]

Johnny is out... so we have 3 empty karts.

[Brucey]

will rain be a problem? Or will it just lead to mad dorifto?

[SeanB]

We play rain or shine.

[SeanB]

Bunch of losers...

I am not arranging any more kart things.

[Brucey]

Can we go next week? I didn't know my motorcycle class was all friggen weekend. I've got to miss the road rally too :(

[evilnissan]

My heart is telling me yes, but my brain says no.

[SeanB]

This is the last weekend this year, they will be back next year. I will likely arrange a 1.5 hour enduro next year, but I can't have people flaking on it. That being said, I'll run their regular rentals again next year.

[Brucey]

There was no information regarding that this MSF class was an all weekend event. It simply stated '6-10 friday'

That being said; my bad.

[SeanB]

44.8 when I ran earlier in the year
44.4 this time around, lot cooler today but the track was less grippy.

I still lack consistency, despite setting 2nd best time just 2/10th off the top time my times should have been more consistently in the 44s and instead were mainly in the 45s. (While traffic was a factor, I should learn to judge it better.)

I'll be back there next year, if anyone wants to come along let me know.

[Brucey]

Why's everything got to close in november?

[SeanB]

They have a pretty packed schedule, so the remainder of the year has other stuff going on. The Wilson circuit is used for regular kart racing, rental kart racing, open rentals, bike racing, time trials, etc, etc, etc.
