K1 Speed Mokena 2024 Challenge GP - April 7th

[@WindyCityIndy27]

Never been to this track, looks pretty slick, especially in the hairpins. Some pretty good passing opportunities (take note Buffalo Grove). Great recovery drive!

[@AlexDevineKartRacing]

Thanks! I think the newer kart models (compared to BufGrove) help here too. There's a surprising difference in laptimes between diving/defending and sticking to the racing line, but passing a good defensive driver is still tough unless you're multiple tenths per lap quicker.

Good race Alex, congratulations on 2nd

[@AlexDevineKartRacing]

Third place this round, and second place for the season at Mokena!

Great job in your qualifying session despite you were just couple thousandths of a second short for the pole position. Has anyone in your GP hit in the 20s yet? What is the current all-time track record at Mokena? You put up a one hell of a fight on the track and great recovery drive on finishing third.

Thanks Eric! Things are getting settled down and tuned in since this location was bought out at the start of the year, so this month had the fastest times in the 2024 GP thus far. IIRC from 2023 Accelerate league racing (on this track, with these newer models of karts), the fastest laptime I've seen is a 20.7. My personal best is a 20.958

Hey, how do you do these "official" races? Ive been here multiple times but its only a open race, where you just arrive and drive.

K1 Speed has league races once a month, with adults 18+ on the first Sunday of every month and junior/teen league nights two nights later. There's more info on the K1 Speed website: www.k1speed.com/racing-leagues.html
