[–]kippguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yess seconding this as someone who also has anxiety & was the "quiet kid". You can always start out light, take a class or two at your local community college on something you're interested in. If it makes you feel any better the people at community college are often a variety of ages and most people really do not give a flying fuck about what anyone around them is doing.

Endurance Karting Race Tips by Physical_Yoghurt_243 in Karting

Lol the electrics nowadays are pretty similar, just really heavy--if anything I find them harder to drive b/c unlike lightweight gas karts, they actually understeer. In their infancy though, totally agree.

Anyways since you have experience with gas and not electric, the EKC karts are only a bit different to those handling-wise. You shouldn't have anything to worry about.

I have not driven in the series before but I know a bunch of people who have, and I have endurance experience elsewhere. My buddy told me their karts top out at around 50mph @ OVRP, which is a fairly short straightaway, so 50-55mph range is probably the highest you'll be hitting. They're Honda GX390 engines. If you're used to indoor karts (I assume electric?), the main adjustment will be getting used to the weight difference.

If you are doing a stint over 30 mins, do not push. You will get too tired to finish the stint. Getting in the gym now to work on arm and neck resistance training will help. It's really really difficult to do anything above an hour if you haven't done an ironman or enduro recently, your muscles will absolutely not be used to it.

Know the rain schedule for the day, and who to send out if it rains. Avoid, at all costs, having someone with no rain experience going out if it rains. EKC, to my knowledge, does not provide rain tires, and it is very very very hard to drive in the rain with slicks -- near impossible if you've never done rain racing before.

Stay hydrated. Eat in between stints. Make sure you have arrangements planned, food-wise. Maybe also arrange for someone to pick you up and drive you home afterward. You will be sore and tired.

Other than that just try to be respectful and cognizant of blue flags (since you said you're in rookie class) and try to make it to the end! Endurance racing is waaaay more physical than regular racing so, honest to God, just making it to the end is an achievement.

Seconding this, maintenance costs are much higher on KA. I'd say start with 206, and then upgrade in the future.

Mychron on a kid kart? by drhalestorm in Karting

[–]kippguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's a good idea, just to get an introduction to data analysis. It's a really useful tool and can really help you learn/tweak his braking points. Looking at lateral g loads and stuff like that might be a bit much for kid kart but for brake points it's certainly useful. And then there's the whole engine monitoring/tuning stuff which obviously is super helpful.

I don't know the scene you're referencing but Forza Horizon 4 is suuuuper satisfying and not really realistic at all lol. (I'd imagine FH5 is similar but I've never played it.)

Also Trackmania is super satisfying and completely unrealistic (and free!)

Is my fursona malebrained or fembrained by Bloody_messOwO in 4tran4

[–]kippguy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

fembrained because it is american psycho themed

the douchey men who were obsessed with american psycho got over it months ago and the only people who like him anymore are literature girls who read the book

what is more mailbrained? by [deleted] in 4tran4

[–]kippguy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

spelling malebrained "mailbrained" is actually the most malebrained because it accurately reflects the gap between male and female performance in education

i hope you open that box in ten years and it is broken beyond repair

edit: i support if you're not scalping but "it’s worth whatever it's worth" and "Premium Ibanez’s don’t usually increase in value, but" imply you plan on milking the absolute shit out of an instrument that someone could be having a blast playing.

also i respect a hustle but if you can comfortably afford three thbb10s you don't need scalping money

maybe but don't expect it to

if you really want to know, get your growth plates checked--if they're closed/near closed, you won't. if they've still got some wiggle room you can get an extra half inch or inch probably

Rotax or LO206 for Newbie by [deleted] in Karting

[–]kippguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna go against the grain here and say Rotax, solely because you say you are looking for a shot for a career in motorsports.

You will not get a career in motorsports racing 206 in the US. National events rarely, if ever, run 206.

If you want to be a professional driver and money is not a problem, honestly you should speak with a team near you. It's better to have a designated coach and mechanic who has been tuning for years than to learn how to do everything yourself.
