Change(s) is Good

i am quite the opposite from the KP's take on changing the setting
on the kart. of cos there are things which i'm uncomfortable in
changing, e.g. seat position.
basically, once the seat position is right and good, there is no need
to change it as 10mm lower may or may not help in the stability of
the kart. also not to mention, the hassle of moving the kart seat can
be take up quite a lot of work and a lot of time!

however, i will happily change engine jettings based on weather
condition, widen front tyre width setting when the tyres are going
botak, widening the rear tyre width settings if the rears are new.
& vice versa. this changes can help the kart to handle better and
it's simple to deal with.

the power of observation can and is a a powerful tools to be better,
Agreed!
but the advices of others have to be tried and then to determine
whether it is good & suitable for us.
else, we will only see what others are doing. and without trying it
ourselves, we will not know if indeed that's the one change
(read: improvement) that we are looking for.

however, every one has a different take on it. but KP's take is his,
and mine is well, mine. i'm not changing it.

Zero Visitors

Just checked the site monitoring I have subscribed to. And its reporting a big fat ZERO in the number of visitors here. Cool.

No Karting for me this July. Most probably in end August. And maybe we will have shifted to the new track. But with a new track, there will be even more confusion when it comes to kart setup. Lucky those who have coaches. Here, I have to learn everything practically by myself, just like how I learnt how to skate all by the power of observation and just going out to skate!

At the moment, I still believe the biggest setup that needs to be done is the driver. Once the driver is consistent, then move on to changing the kart itself.
