JonnyAE86 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 True! Of course, you don't HAVE to start on the Pole if you don't want to. It's good clean but hard racing.An unexpected perk is that every kart handles differently, so you learn to adapt to different vehicles quickly. Some turn well, some brake well, some accelerate well. Just figure it out and go!According to Speedworlds website all the carts are tested weekly to ensure accuracte and consistent performance. That being said, good to know I can blame my noob skills on the kart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 They can turn the same laptimes, but they do it differently. Mark does good work to tune them. Sometimes you get a kart with awesome power, but it doesn't turn nicely. The next time you get one that is an animal in turns but gets walked all over on the way out of the corner.

MRS Joe Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It's fun starting from pole position with a Miata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conebasher Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Our new software tracks every karts every lap. We can pick any time period and look at average lap time, quickest lap time, total hours and total laps. Every Monday we compare all the karts from the previous Friday to Sunday and adjust the power to get them equal, then do the same thing on Friday, comparing all the performance from Monday to Thursday. Of course anomalies happen on any particular day because things go out of adjustment when karts are crashed but for the most part they are pretty close and each kart has it's own personality.

Jeff Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 So if the 29th is booked, what about the alternate Thursday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conebasher Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 So if the 29th is booked, what about the alternate Thursday?I have the group booked for every 2nd Thursday-isn't that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Eh. Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I think Jeff took "it's booked" ( http://forums.wscc.mb.ca/index.php?/topic/10264-speedworld-league-20152016/?p=118734Â )Â as to mean ...

Mohamed Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 BTW I think there should be a cap at 10 people (I think thats what we did last year) as I don't think there's enough karts/room to race more than 10 karts at a time. And splitting the racers into two groups would just make the whole event quite a bit longer.So set a cap at 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyAE86 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Just to clarify, we will do 3 races each event? Can we buy the races in the bulk package (I was thinking the 15 races for $150)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohamed Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'm not sure if we can do that or not. The format of our races are different compared to the regular races.We used to do 5 minute practice, 5 minute qualifying, and 10 minute race IIRC.Mark can possibly answer that question.

Corey Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 It was a short qualifying session and then two races of the same length. I can't remember either length though.... LOL! The first race starting order was determined by inverting the points for the series, and the second was inverting the result from the first race. To win the points battle you need to pass a lot of karts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks all for the awesome and clean racing. That last race was insane - such a tight pack for so much of it. It felt like everyone was two-wide for the first few laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conebasher Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 We need to know what format you are doing so we can set it up properly in the computer. The first race is qualifying? how are drivers lined up for the 2nd and 3rd race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohamed Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Same way we were doing last year.First race: qualifying (only for points)Second race: rolling start race. Line up order is reverse of league standings.Third race: rolling start race. Reverse order of the previous race's finishing order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohamed Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Link to the league scoring sheetLet me know if you notice any errors in the scoring.- Qualifying points: 5 for 1st, 4 for 2nd, etc. Only top 5 get points.- Race points: 10 for 1st, 9 for 2nd, etc. 1 bonus point given to the person with the fastest lap in a race.So maximum possible points is 27 points. 5 for qualifying, 11 for race 1, and 11 for race 2.
