PS - the current track record is a stupid fast 18.18.

The kid that set that record is only 12 years old.

My fastest laptime, last monday, was 19.100. I am trying to break into the 18's, but it seems like it is impossible to do so at the moment. I thinkI have room for improvements at certain areas of the track. I weigh about 185.

Would it be okay for you to describe your racing lines...that would be much appreciated.

I think they tried a subaru meet before and only 8 people showed up. Maybe a go-karting event would have a decent turnout.

Turn 1 and 2 are pretty obvious, out in out in out. You shouldn't need to lift the throttle at all to get through. Sometimes you can't use every bit of track cause the edges are slippery.

Turn 3 I normally turn in early and cut it really tight to set up for 4.

Turn 4 I like to set up around 2/3 or halfway from the left side. Don't go to deep or slide out too far in preparation for 5

Turn 5 is the regular out in out, but you start the turn about mid track and not all the way to the right

Turn 6 is the infield hairpin make a late apex to set up for the last corner

Turn 7 is the sharp right hander. I usually use the white lines for I think 5 and 6th starting positions as my exit. I think 7 is probably the most important corner on the track because you go full throttle all the way until turn 4.

Lines change based on conditions and karts, but this is generally how I drive it. I'm usually down there on Saturday mornings, but probably not for the next couple of weeks as I have stuff going on weekends.

It was fun on track because we didn't have to rotate through, but it was a pitiful Subaru day.

Are you referring to Turn 4a and 4b?
