Post by: Watchnewby on November 02, 2011, 01:46:16 PM
Am not into go-karting but judging from this thread, I counted 5 or 6 members who are keen on go karting.
(ancs88, siodee, watchmanu, takashi, chris)
Maybe the TS can organise one go-kart session for MWF members, once the quorom of 8 pax is met.
Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: takashi78 on November 02, 2011, 02:01:38 PM
Is 8 person the min?
Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: siodee on November 03, 2011, 08:00:41 AM
Nope, just that depend on weekday or weekend, if nobody queue up, even you are alone, they still let you go, cause Business ma, unless weekend or public holiday, then they are very strict. We can try Sunway  :Dancing_banana:
Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: takashi78 on November 04, 2011, 07:51:16 AM
Weekend is best. We can do early session.

Isnt Sunway just an oval track?
Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: ancs88 on November 04, 2011, 10:28:56 AM
The Shah Alam track is very nice, flat and lots of interesting turns!
Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: siodee on November 08, 2011, 06:39:31 AM
We can do the Shah Alam track, just next to the "Sea Hum" Stadium, I think is like RM35 for 10min. If go for 100cc, then different price tag, more expensive. What do you guys think???
Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: takashi78 on November 08, 2011, 06:56:23 AM
I am up for it.
Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: siodee on November 09, 2011, 07:10:09 AM
We will have the Go-kart at Shah Alam then. I will create a session there after this coming Sunday Charity run, so not confusing members for different activities.  ;D
Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: takashi78 on November 09, 2011, 07:25:16 AM

Last time i went, had 3 rounds of 15mins each, palms blister!

You can get those gloves at Jusco or Carrefour or Tesco under sports section. They do sell gym gloves as well as motorcycle gloves. Else the motorcycle shop which sells accesories.

The only time i went karting in Msia at Sepang, 3rd session my friend borrowed me cycling gloves.

Last few laps i totally no more energy.

Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: kenixck on November 11, 2011, 04:24:19 AM
Shah Alam track is tough one ... i am really keen to try the 100cc, the 125cc no kick (i think the 125cc is slower than 100cc).
Tracks are full of pebbles, expensive watch not recommended ...
I think I should be able to join, getting my karting gloves as well with takashi.  :Cheers:
Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: takashi78 on November 11, 2011, 05:58:01 AM

Post by: kenixck on November 13, 2011, 05:34:55 AM

after that maybe can go eat "nasi ganja" @ Raihan at glenmarie.

Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: takashi78 on November 13, 2011, 09:02:51 AM
Straight 90mins is too tiring if no break in between.

Spoke to the gang this morning we aim for coming Sat and 10am session.

3 rounds.
Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: kenixck on November 13, 2011, 01:56:27 PM
90 include briefing and intervals la .. actual time on track maybe less than 25 mins :P
Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: takashi78 on November 13, 2011, 02:38:15 PM

Title: Re: Go-Karting!
Post by: takashi78 on November 19, 2011, 02:35:54 PM
No la each also witiin 2-3mins of one another.

Cant believe Alan wore his PAM for the race :o

Another friend Jason wore his UTS also for the race.

Both came out fine :Dancing_banana:

Joe's arm reminds us that motorsports IS dangerous :o

Had GREAT fun today :Dancing_banana:, the 2-stroke 100c karts is really world of difference compared to the 4-stroke. Acceleration is crazy. Towards the end my neck muscle starting to give way.....

For those who wanna go to this track i highly recommend it for now. ALL their karts are brand new only 1month old.  When we went today they still applying on the stickers for the karts.

been karting at City Karting Shah Alam all these while. The karts might not be in the best of conditions but the track is not too bad. Gave blastacars a go, not a fan of drift karts
