When: Saturday, May 24th, 10-11AM Organizer: Mark Sterner Where: K1 Speed, 2207 NE Bel-Red Rd., Redmond, WA 98052 (located behind Ethan Allen Furniture) With 2008 marking the production of the Tesla Roadster at Hethel, I thought it might be fun to try out electric karting. Sykart was a lot of fun, but has gotten so busy that it is impossible to organize a Saturday morning event there. The K1 Speed track in Redmond is about half the size of the Tukwila Sykart, with lap times ranging from 16-18 seconds. The European-style karts at K1 seem to handle a bit better with more actual HP, have almost instant torque, and are fume free. Rather than try to rent the track ($1000 an hour) or pay the fees for an organized "race" ($45-80 per person), I thought we could just take part in one or two of their "arrive and drive" sessions. The price is $20 for a 14 lap session and a $5.95 one time computerized registration fee (if you have not been there before). Try to arrive a bit early to get this taken care of, so that we can all try to drive together as a group. As with Sykart, helmets and liners are available.Lap times and overall finishing positions will be printed out at the end of each 14 lap session. The "race" will be against the clock, with the person posting the fastest lap time declared the club winner. I will make sure that we have a small prize to award!Please see the attached video taken of the local Ducati club event held there. Should be fun! See you there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuWHhQpA4p0

This sounds interesting but I have so many items to catch up on because of some down time after a hernia operation that my probability of attending is somewhat less than 50%.

The high torque of the electric motored karts is an equalizer. Weight is not as big an issue as with the gas powered karts.
