Badger is a pretty nice track. It's tight and technical. But you can tell it was not designed for modern karts. I guess not many tracks are. But overall, I like it.

Ryan and I spent the whole day trying to learn the track. I am still trying to learn how to take some of the corners, but I had a fun time doing it. Ryan did a good job on 1 year old Bridgestones YHCs and got into the 39's. :clap:

I can't wait to watch the TAG Masters race on Sunday. It should be entertaining.

Rick,

What about you??? What lap times were you running???
Very technical track......right??

38.29 was my best at 365lbs. I bolted on weight and ran a 38.34 at 374 lbs (6 lbs shy of TAG Master's weight at Badger). I was on old MG Yellows. I think I can still set the kart up better, learn the track better and most importantly improve my driving skill which should give me at least a tenth each. :redface: I would imagine the fastest guys have to be in the mid 37's.

Rick,


Those are good lap times......you should be OK tomorrow for Masters.


Good luck!

I am running TAG Senior.

Rick, track record in senior tag is 37.6--. Your not far off! Those are awesome times for your first time out there. Yellows may have better grip than YHC's. But still those are FAST times!

Be hard to sleep tonight. See you there in the a.m.!
