    Yup, full electric now. And yup, still have the burger, which I had before we raced. :D

    We did 4 races. At the end of the second race I got the time needed to get a bump up in speed. Fucking crazy fast, and that's not even the most you can get. And then in the 3rd race all 5 of us had the next level up in speed, so we were all flying around.

    Takes some learning and getting used to with the next level in speed. Need to go back and do it again to get used to it.

    Been to On Track and to the now closed facility (don't remember the name) in East Windsor or maybe that was Windsor Locks. Used to go on Sunday mornings in the winter with my auto-x buddies. Wasn't a day of racing until somebody was tapping on somebody else's chest and bitching about rough driving :smack: lol!

    And it sure will beat up your forearms!

    Ha! Told my wife we were talking about karts and she immediately started bitching about somebody's driving. Though I admit she was correct.

    They will ban you for life for that maneuver. Super dangerous. Can you say “car crash “?

    Let’s do it. It’s all about reading your tires traction, just like rock crawling.:bikewheelie:

    Hey guys
    my project of the day, it was supposed to be only a ECGS bushings replacement
    but turns out that some of the rubber seal around the cv axle were broken
    so a new cv axle went in as well.,
    ***** no more vibration *****
