It’s also very basic. It doesn’t have unnecessary features like a screen, or photo capabilities. Perfect for what I use it for.

Amazing ride Filip. How did you realize the tyres are overheating? I’m new to karts, been doing rounds on rental rotax for some 2-3 months.
@filipniemkiewicz10266 күн бұрын
Hey thank you! It really comes down to how the kart feels and lap time. I can tell while driving how the kart normally responds to certain corners and when the tires start to over heat, the grip level decreases and all around the handling starts to feel ‘greasy’. It begins sliding more and more, and you’re kind of waiting for the tires to bite and grip. I can also tell with lap time. I know what lap times I should be running, and when the tires are over heated, the times will be slower, maybe 1-3 tenths of a second. And once they over heat, especially on a hot day like this, it takes a long time for the tires to cool down.

@CominazziniDavide8 ай бұрын

@filipniemkiewicz10267 ай бұрын
"I would say this is a much better and more suitable option for karting. First of all, there is no need to spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on occupying and renting city streets for a week. The width of a city street is also MUCH too large for a karting track, the scale for these barrier tracks is much more appropriate and perfect for karts to race on. Wide city streets would make the racing dull and much harder to set up viewing and pit spaces. The temporary track also allows the track designers to design a much more interesting track than boring 90 degree city street blocks, as we dont have the budget of Formula one IndyCar to build our own tracks. It also measn a new track design can be used each year, wich means a "home track advantage" basicaly does not exist. Parking lots are also WAAYYYY smoother than city streets and roads here in the US, so we dont have to deal with lots holes and bumps that most F1 tracks have payed millions to repave. Also, being in a parking lot actually allows us to build a "street circtuit" with barriers and layouts that that very well replecate the feeling and required skill of driving on an actual narrow, barrier lined street cirtcuit in Formula 1, like Monaco or Baku, where milimeter accuracy seperates the front runners from the midpack. Also, these tracks are much safer, less light poles, stop lights, stop signs, pedestrians to hit and potentially seriously injure racers and participants which has happened on tracks orginized on city streets. Plus, the parking lot is also tehnically a street, its an extension of the road way, and is under the same rules and regulations as a public road, meaning its a street.
@badgumby95447 ай бұрын
@@filipniemkiewicz1026 Basically my point was the US lacks first class dedicated kart tracks like they have in Europe. Only thing close is New Caste or maybe Go Pro. They are great facilities, but even those aren't comparable to the best dedicated European kart tracks. And concerning the "parking lot track" at Vegas. It's private property and "not" subject to the same rules and regulations as a public street.
@filipniemkiewicz10267 ай бұрын
@@badgumby9544 Yea the US does lack some high level facilities, but GoPro and New Castle aren’t completely falling behind in that regard, but yes, they aren’t as good. Many great European kart tracks succeed because they have a great local demand for rental and hobbyist karters. So they have more money in that regard, many of our tracks lack that local demand which does suck. We are getting the K1 circuit, which seems like it’ll be a very high class circuit. And I don’t mean to be argumentative, but “if a parking lot open to the public, it may be private property but is still considered a highway under U.S. DOT safety regulations.” So yes technically a street. But also yes it’s not on the street, but it’s not quite on a prepped racing surface like a race track, but on road asphalt. So street circuit seems appropriate lol.
@badgumby95448 ай бұрын
Grand Junction is supposedly the best track in Colorado. But for quick lap times you have to drive right over huge, frame cracking, axle bending curbs. That's not a good track to me. Plus I don't know why they even have curbs or track edges anymore. Nobody stays within the track limits. They should get rid of curbs all together and have dirt or grass as the track edge. You get punished if you exceed the track limit with dirt or grass edges. And pretty soon it will be a huge drop off on the edge of the track.
@filipniemkiewicz10268 ай бұрын
I will most certainly say that Grand Junction is the best track in Colorado (there aren't very many in Colorado any more anyway lol). I would argue what makes a good race track is one that challenges the drivers skill and physical ability while also encourages racing while also being fun to drive. I do agree navigating the curbs in the chicane can put some extra ware on the chassis, especially in this direction, but the best drivers will be able to properly drive through the chicane with the best line to get the best lap time, which will in turn minimize the ware on the chassis. I think this section alone already makes it a better kart track than many in the USA because it requires much more skill and driving finesse to drive properly and quickly, which is what you want in karting. But realistically, this really isn't a concern in any class other than the shifter and the high power single speed classes, like ROK GP or OK, which need to carry a lot more speed through the chicane to be fast. In slower classes, even like the Rotax Senior Max category, this chicane isn't much of a physically or mechanically demanding section of track like it is in the Shifter class. And I know from practicing here that in the other direction, if you jump over the first curb, which is all that you need to do in that direction, you only gain about 1.5 tenths. I'm not sure about this direction. Having said this, as you can see, even in the shifter class we made the entire 15 minute session without any cracked frames or bent axels, and we easily made it through the whole weekend without any. I also believe that Action Karting (even though it is no longer open) was much more rough on the chassis and the driver (ouch) and that track had no curbs you had to jump over, it was just very rough. But in general, the the rest of Grand junction Motor Speedway is also great. The immense elevation change, the combination of tight 90 degree bends, fast sweepers, hard braking zones, tight hairpins and technical rhythm sections like the chicane make it fun and challenging to drive. I do agree that many tracks that have lots of runoff on the exits of corners can take away from the driving and racing, as the risk of dropping a tire and spinning out takes much more skill to be fast. But luckily this isn't much of a concern in karting, and other than tracks like AMR Motorplex and CalSpeed Karting (which has also closed down), there aren't many karting tracks that have this issue. But I do think tracks need curbs. At Finishline Performance Karting in Biloxi Mississippi, the track was narrow, and had no runoff, which made the track feel very mickey mousey and annoying to drive. While it was punishing if you made a mistake, the track was unsatisfying to drive. This track is pretty punishing if you go off and can cause major issues (other than the second to last corner), and actually has a very large drop off on the exit of turn 4 if you go too wide. I will add that the extra run off in second to last corner actually adds to the track in a positive way. It requires you to be much more brave, and carry more speed into and through that corner and the last corner, in both track directions. And if you go to wide on this runoff, you will lose time. I may be a little bit biased, but having to been to many other race tracks in the USA, I believe this is a pretty good track, and many national teams agree as well. I apologize for the long wall of text, I just feel it requires some elaboration. TLDR: I believe the curbs in the chicane add to the track and make it great by requiring more skill and finesse to navigate quickly and efficiently.

Thank you! We were using two because our main dash (the center one) which was a Starlane, was having some weird issues which meant we didn't get any engine data like EGT and RPM. But we were still getting lap times. So to make sure we got that engine data, we ran the second dash (bottome right one) which was a Mychron 4. Now, we would've just switched to the Mychron entirely, and just used one dash, but we didnt have the right sensors to get the Mychron to read lap time. Sooo we used both. Funny enough, after refusing to work all weekend, the Starlane finally started working in this Final event, which was nice because it allowed me to download the data off of it to use for the data overlay in this video!!! I have never had any issues with the Starlane before, and had never had any since this race, so I'm not sure what happened haha.
