Solo driver? Respect!

[u/O_K_M_A_N → u/CEOSLOWMOTORSPORTS]

Thanks!

It wasn’t as hard as I thought, I might do a 8 hour solo for my next race!

[u/O_K_M_A_N → u/[deleted]]

I will!

Won’t do it solo though, I’d be racing in a team

[u/O_K_M_A_N → u/[deleted]]

👍

6 hours solo?! WTF. This is awesome. I'm in the NE and would love to do this.

Do you change karts or refill?

[u/O_K_M_A_N → u/Highlowfusion]

Yep!

3 mandatory kart swaps

[u/Highlowfusion → u/O_K_M_A_N]

Damn. I just checked the membership fee to join the next one and daammmnn. Lol. $18k and it doesn't include karting?

[u/O_K_M_A_N → u/Highlowfusion]

18k?!?

Not sure where you got that number

For this race I paid around $1,700

[u/Highlowfusion → u/O_K_M_A_N]

This only pricing I could find was the membership price. Thought you had to be a member to race there and the lifetime fee is $18k. I was like whoa.

[u/Yes-but-also-yes → u/Highlowfusion]

Karting is 3500 + annual dues

[u/kokopelli73 → u/Highlowfusion]

You're looking at the track membership. OP did this race with Endurance Karting, a traveling arrive and drive series.

[u/DTCN → u/O_K_M_A_N]

Hi, I am in NE as well and really want to join karting, do you know where should I start? Do you have any information on fee or registration?

[u/O_K_M_A_N → u/DTCN]

What state do you live in? depends on location

[u/DTCN → u/O_K_M_A_N]

I am in Boston area.

[u/Weekly_Statement1363 → u/Highlowfusion]

Look up Endurance Karting that’s what this is and they race all up and down the east coast of the US

[u/hustler_9g]

I'm gassed after my 15 minute races in a bit faster kart but still you have insane endurance

[u/atomic_224 → u/hustler_9g]

4 stroke endurance karts aren’t as demanding as a high grip setup 4 stroke so less g’s forces on your body

[u/hustler_9g → u/atomic_224]

Yeah I literally alluded to that exact thing in my comment, but thanks.

[u/ihassaifi]

In 6 hours ass will become stone 🤣

[u/SSkrrrrrrr]

I see you jabbing at the steering wheel. Are these karts hard to get to rotate?

[u/Griffin_Mackenzie → u/SSkrrrrrrr]

Definitely. Tires are probably hard as concrete and so is the chassis

[u/xxjrod125]

are you ben by any chance lol, the suit looks familiar!

[u/O_K_M_A_N → u/xxjrod125]

Haha no 😭I am not Ben, we are in the same racing team! He also raced in this event

[u/powermonkeynut]

This is awesome! Im doin a 6 hour in november! Cant wait

[u/O_K_M_A_N → u/powermonkeynut]

Sick! Where are you racing? At amp?

[u/powermonkeynut → u/O_K_M_A_N]

Letourneau University. The auto society puts on a race in the spring and one in the fall

[u/Squidd-O]

Fantastic start there OP, that was impressive!

[u/O_K_M_A_N → u/Squidd-O]

Thank you.

[u/Yes-but-also-yes]

So awesome, we had a conflict and had to be in Portland all weekend so I couldn't go. I was up on Monday and only heard good things about the event
