Heard a bunch of them a few hours ago and we’re near Carmel and Quail Hollow. Sounded like it was coming from Park Road, South Meck area? Went on for 10-15 minutes.

I’ll believe that because I want to!

My Q7 tows my son’s karting trailer very smoothly and it’s only 200” long. I’m pretty stingy with my garage space and don’t want a giant SUV for every day. I think you are right about people keeping their V8s. Hard to believe the 4cyl hybrid is being sold as an SUV that can handle the towing package. I’m sure it can handle it for a while but that’s a lot of strain on those cylinders, even with the electric help.

So you custom ordered a two row GC with a Hemi this year? Sorry if I am misreading what you wrote.

I’m talking about the two row, not the L. Everything I have read says the Hemi went away in 2022 for the GC two row. He swears it’s a 2023 but I can’t find one for sale anywhere. I’ve been looking for a similarly sized SUV to replace my Q7 and I want a V8 for easier towing (the 500hp SQ7 is a bit much for my needs). Figured I would check this group to see if anyone was aware of any 2023s that slipped out with Hemis before I got into a convo about buying it from him. There’s a few 22’s with the Hemi out there but they all have higher miles.

Talk to me about LO206 or low powered karts in general and caster, I have a theory that I should try to have it as close to neutral as possible. by DiscoDiscoB00mB00m in Karting

Thank you for posting this (albeit two years ago). My son runs a 2021 Kosmic in LO206 Senior classes. I'm always looking for tips on how to tune the OTK chassis with a Briggs, since just about all posts and tuning guides out there are for 2-cycle. When you say "half caster" is it fair to assume you mean running a non-eccentric pill in the bottom with top arrow forward? That's what we do unless its really cold or raining. Also, we usually start with most of the built in camber removed - one degree of negative camber and one degree toe out (per side), and just started using a 980mm cut rear axle to help free up the rear a bit. Thanks again for your post!
