I ran another race at Summit Point this past weekend. I managed to knock another two seconds off of my lap times (1:38's) and finished 8th (17 karts). I will need to drop another 3-4 seconds off of my time in order to podium. With the proper gearing and more seat time I will get there.

man that looks like fun!!
not to mention that those times are pretty quick for a cart, wow.
keep us informed when the races are
It is fun and the speed sensation is a little different compared to driving my car there. I should be running 1:34's which isn't bad for a 15 hp kart. Heck, if ya think that is fast for a kart, the unlimited Super Karts run lap times as low as 1:13.

1:13's?!? That's crazy... I know Expert Class Superbike riders that couldn't touch tose times with a ten foot pole!
Looks like tons of fun!
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

Unlimited kart.
The record at Summit Point for an Unlimited Kart is 1:13. They usually run 1:15 - 1:16.

...which is faster than anything on the track save Formula Atlantic I believe.
congrats Rob, it looks like you are doing fantastic. 8/17 on your 2nd race kicks ass!
you going to have the Subie out this year at all?
Thanks Evan, Ryan
I might run the Subaru in the October NASA HPDE. I miss driving it on track and miss the NASA crowd.
I also might be buying a new car this Fall although I will keep my 2.5RS. I am looking at a WRX Wagon, but want a Saab 9-2x(Saabaru). Unfortunately ALL 9-2x Aero's are sold.
I am happy with how I did. My goal was to complete the 45 minute race mid pack running 1:38's, which I did
