AMS2 Shifter Kart @ Buskerud Kart, Tuesday 20th December 2022

[Redvaliant]

'Twas the week before Christmas and all was peaceful and quiet in the land, except in Norway, where the bonkers Buskerud track played host to the banshee wails of the 2 stroke shifter karts. We'll be throwing the wee karts at the scenery over 3 short sprint races on this very challenging, up hill down dale track.

Whether you are a rookie racer or a seasoned veteran our casual club races are for everyone and every skill level. We combine fun events with discord chatter and a warm welcome to all our premium members.

Hey Adrian, added. Yeah they are a very different driving experience, and this track is wild.

 

[Eric S]

Sign me up as a maybe. My son will turn 13. Maybe he will have a stint.

He has some experience. This was him when he was 4 years old.
Still one of my favorite photos of him.

 

[Redvaliant]

That's so cool! I'll add you as a maybe. If we don't really get enough signups, I'll probably make it 1 short race and then maybe an open server.

Would a short version not benefit from a smaller field as we would have more interaction with each other? Karting differences are quite big and overheating the tires or getting on a kerb easily gives a spin.

Dan, sign me up. I will be on for the practice, qualy and first race but will need to leave after that to pick my wife up from the station.

 

[Redvaliant]

Hey Malcolm. I think this event is going to be changed to a short race around a short version. There's not much interest in the karts, but I thought we'd give them a go.

 

[GeekyDeaks]

Should be able to make this! Never tried the karts before so that will be a nice change.

 

[Redvaliant]

Hey Scott, added. There's a few of us now, enough to cause an accident!

 

[jimortality]

I'd like to sign up please. I'm hopefully doing a couple of beta test races from 1900 till 2000 then straight to this. That's the plan anyway, might be a bit late but ive done some laps with the combo earlier. It is the 6 speed karts?

 

[Reefabus]

I'll jump in and mess around..Thanks

 

[Redvaliant]

Welcome guys, I'll add you. It's the shifter kart - with gears - and the short version of Buskerud. 3rd race is another kart track altogether if we feel like doing that one.

 

[Bas Kriesels]

Daniel untill now I didn't think I could make it. But I can join! Sign me up please! See you guys at 20:00!

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

I keep being semi-disappointed when I read this track-name.
When they decided to make a track in "Buskerud, Norway". Karting with hills etc. Why not just reccreate an actual hilly track in Buskerud, Norway!

Oh well, karting is fun! Enjoy guys!

 

[jimortality]

Great fun tonight, thank you.

 

[Eric S]

What an unbelievable evening this was! Great fun!

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

I didn't exactly plan to do this, but felt like testing the karts. I don't regret that!

Also @Redvaliant you talked about the Superkarts. They do race at Cadwell Park in real life

 

[Redvaliant]

Great night of crazy Kart fun and worn out arms!

Man! After R1 and being a bit more dialled in, I only got 4 invalid times for the last 2 races, all 4 when I spun/half-spun and lost more time than I gained.
With these karts I'm actually more proud of that than the results
