Tom's Race Log
New Year, New Karts (1/12/2009)







Features




Haven't raced since October. How did that happen?

The new karts are cool. They seem a bit heavier than the old ones, but have a lower center of gravity. The seating position is more leaned back, which gives you a little less feedback from the track, but feels cooler. The seat seems to adjust easier than the old karts so I was able to get a nice pedal position. The steering wheel seemed kind of high, but I got used to that quickly.

So the race itself was uneventful. It was just me and two other guys. I was a couple seconds a lap faster so I pulled away, but they were fast enough that I wasn't able to lap them.
