ok,
Well I am Kristin, and I find it weird that there are not more girls in this club...
Anyway I am a Freshman from outside of Richmond, in good ole' Mechanicsville.
I have always grown up around some sort of racing, my dad has been racing go-karts since he was 16 and so naturally I have been around that most of my life and started racing when I was 12. A common misconception, these karts are not your typical yardkarts-they go 120 MPH and pull and average of 13,000 RPMS, pull 3 gs of force, and have a 2 stroke engine on them and are "automatic"-you slap one gear on the kart, so they start off slow but yell down the straights. So my first vehicle was my kart:

(That is my dad in it-hand me down kart)

Just this year all of sudden there was an increase in the girl population in racing and my class managed to win an all GIRL podium, so there is not a lack of estrogen in the sport, but I am used to being around a bunch of guys, getting all greasy and dirty and talking about different chassis types, what type of gear to run, exactly how much blendzall do i mix with this fuel, etc.
So racing is my thing, not neccessarily cars, but I love cars too-and I am such a girl in car choice because I mainly only care for the looks-the R8 and The Lambo Gallardo are my favs! I am currently selling my old car (can't tell you what that is) and looking into some sort of VW.



Ok I am not sure if the pictures are loading or if I am just stupid and don't know how to but visit the site below..it needs to be updated BAD.but it gives you an idea.

Can't tell us what the vehicle you're selling is? lol It can't be that bad...

[goodWIN]

Well..it drives nice and I will actually be sad to see it go, but as for profililng purposes..its not the car I want..a Cadillac. But since I will be carless, Iam sharing my mom's Audi A6, which is cool

Welcome to the club. Since you're into racing you're going to get along well with a lot of people here

thats for sure. one of our other members, GQROB, has (or had, not sure) a laydown kart...i think it was a coyote or something along those lines.

get out to a meeting or trackday/autocross!

[Madden]

wow those karts look like a blast, welcome to the club!
pressures on for you to totally dominate gforce now though

[Feersty]

Welcome to the club. I wish my wife liked racing. Don't worry about having a car freshman year, most people don't even have them.

[D_Eclipse9916]

Wow, definitely jealous. I wish my parents would have gotten me into something like that. Glad you joined the club, good to see some diversity happening at the current student level.

...uh oh, my kind of racing is way different from G-force!!-seriously I am not good, you can' go fast in the turns without looping the kart around...I have been to G-force a million times and I think I get progressively worse!-but no doubt its so fun!

I don't know what the contact rules are in laydown karts, but at G Force we make stuff like this happen :evileye:

You mean Evan makes stuff like that happen.

[D_Eclipse9916]

Unfortunately, I think we have had more than one kart on top of barriers before....

[JustinG]

i think that may be my goal this year, dont really care about winning anymore, im just gonna go after people, particularly peter tyson

fool you act like I have never been to g-force!-that is pretty sweet non-the-less. But I totally have gotten into some scary situations before, and some friends have died racing..so its way more BA then people think.

[Feersty]

<-- Never been to G-Force

[D_Eclipse9916]

G-Force needs to up their ante, VIR runs 9 hp karts, SPK runs 12hp karts....those G-force karts are going to seem slooooowwww...

[ScottyB]

G-Force needs to up their ante

you guys don't seem to have any problems getting into trouble with what they have :lol:
