Default Empire Grade Run [Tonight]

Going on a S2K burn and turn run [as safe as my hips allow]

Warning this is a steep weathered road, trailer queen will get a good beating.

Forcasted Temp tonight of a low of 65 and a high of 78 in the hills we (or I most likely) bring cold gear.

Ride height should be set to scout mode.

Turns durring the run I logged when Tom, JP and myself hit it the day before sc run was fastest exit speed was 60 slowest entry speed (up hill) was 25 with a 5 story incline (Epic). I swear a few times I could have Reached the ground it was so steep.

Cheers!

Expect a 150 mile run round trip unless you down to go the distance. Then off to chase the sun. Living the s2k dream was the best thing ive done for myself and family to offset the hustle and stress. Who needs anything else?

Not fast man.. I've only had her for 6 weeks. 54k then 59k now. Im still trying to get used to the gear ratio and how crazy quick this go kart slows down when you down shift / rev match, and double clutch it to catch the engine on the exit. When you catch her in v tech on exit it's Like the world is at peace.. LoL.. I tried heel Toe entry and she don't like it..

Empire Grade is for pansies. Everyone knows Felton-Empire Grade and Ice Cream Grade separate the men from the boys.
