Okay everyone, the enduro season is about to start back up at G-Force Karts here in lovely Richmond VA.

The first event in the series is Sun Sept 14 from 3-6pm. It will be 120 minutes or 300 laps (whichever comes first), for teams of 3-6 drivers per kart, for just $220 per team. This is cheap, fast, competitive, super fun wheel to wheel racing. And there is nothing else going on that day within 500 miles of here that I know of! Details are at this link.

Anyone? Cortez? MM krew? Mike P? Solosol?

If you can't form a team I have seats on my team, $40 each, run til you drop.

C'mon down, it's a blast I promise

Jon

 

MM will own team mullet

 

I always have so much fun when I get to do this...Its a great way to sharpen your MAd sKiLz! YO! Doing any more than 50 laps in one of these karts and your plain busted. Covered in sweat and your arms feel like Jello, Its ******* great! You guys need to come out and get your azz kicked by 6.5 raging,fire breathing horsepower.

 

why can't there be something like this in nj or pa?

There's gotta be a facility like this up there somewhere... I know they're in Boston, DC, Richmond, and Charlotte...

PS- NJ/PA is only a 4-5 hour drive from G-Force, c'mon down

Is there a diagram of the corse layout? Didn't see it on the website.

VIR is about 8 hours from my house. I would be so down for the drive if I didn't have classes. . .

 

I'll only be there if we can go get pho afterwards.

There was, but they recently changed the track (shortened it along the pit straight to make 3 pit lanes, for 4hp junior / 6.5hp adult / 9hp super karts) and I haven't yet had a chance to scan and post the new (week-old) track map, sorry!

It's ~1300 feet long with 14-15 turns, depending who you ask. The most recent (not current but accurate on 90% of the course) map is at:

http://www.get-fast.net/kart/trackmap03.jpg

The current differences apply only to the area "two squares up, five squares across" relative to the pit lane detailed on the above map. That area has essentially been shortened (i.e. pushed "upward" on that map) to make room for 3 pit lanes instead of one, although it retains the same angles and conceptual approach, but due to shorter length and faster entry the lap times have dropped as a result. A competitive lap time in the 6.5hp regular karts (the ones used for enduros) is now in the low 24 second range... making 300 laps in 120 minutes that much more attainable, finally

Stay tuned for an updated map soon...

Jon

 

I will be running an enduro this weekend in Richmond........

a drinking enduro at RIR and I bet I lap the field

 

LOL not until it stops RAINING here!!!

Jon
edit: english as a first language

 

OT but that did look like an action-packed race at RIR tonight. What the hell happened right after the finish - who was trying to fight who? By that time we were in a bar and we couldn't hear what was happening while it was on tv.

Jon
who tailgated at RIR all afternoon but couldn't afford $85 for a grandstand seat

 

Call me dumb (or too lazy to read the website thoroughly), but what does $220 cover? Suits, kart rental, helmet rental, gas, etc? Or is that extra?

Way OT: you're sellin' the Miata ALREADY? Jeebus.

LOL good question. $220 covers all that stuff. G-Force is an "arrive and drive" facility so the enduro entry fee covers karts (if you break yours just pit-in and get another one), helmet loan, driving suit loan, kart gas, etc. JUST SHOW UP WITH A TEAM AND DRIVE AS HARD AS YOU CAN... yes it's that cheap and easy!
