What a great test this past Sunday at KK for the WildKart brand.
The setup recommendations from Barrick Racing in Orillia proved to be brilliant! With very easy to duplicate settings for different Driver weights and class weights....
The WildKart SL 28 Sbar turned wherever it was pointed, no oversteer or understeer not too loose or too tight! It took only simple tire pressure adjustments during the day to match the track grip. I was amazed as it out turned and out accelerated all the karts around me at will, and I would attribute that to ( 28mm Sbar ) a free running chassis design, as it had a used thin ring motor with 6 races on it not my good Tim motor. I used the same kart in 6.5 Med and 6.5 Heavy with the addition of 20 lbs and yet the handling was completely consistent.
Unfortunately I missed weight on my Qualifying, otherwise it would have moved me up to a better starting position and let me battle for the podium.
What a surprise it was with Rains on, and although some slower drivers on dry tires held me up,the WildKart's performance was stunning! Once on some clear track I quickly caught the 4th place Kart and with another lap would have been by, easily.
So on the day, and despite being very rusty with no practice or racing in many years I moved up to 5th in 6.5 Heavy at the finish. I would say that it was all my WildKart that moved me to the front as I made plenty of driving errors and overdrove the kart most of the day.
I have another of the 2008 machines with 6.5 thin ring motor(5.5 motor also available) both with 6 races and nice cosmetics, (the one I displayed near the club trailer) for
Only $2999.99 complete!
Anyone interested in buying a WildKart can arrange a test with me, just call the shop 596-0007 or email me.
PS Check the lap times, my WildKart was incredibly fast, first time out with no practice!
