Lap times at K1

| | Comments (4)

Manuel recommended the local K1 go-karting track recently for one of my bachelor parties. Well, it's a serious load of fun, so a handful of us went back this last week for a few more rounds.

The thing about K1 is that they charge a good deal ($20 a person for around 20 minutes of racing) but between the track and the extras, it's barely worth it. The karts are really quick (capable of mid-30s with a big guy like me in the cockpit) and the course is a good load of fun—and each and every one of your track times are recorded as you go around the loop. All of it is printed out when you're done (mostly for ranking) but it's also available from the company's website, which I find to be supernerdy.

So here are the results from my last four lap sessions—the most recent session is at the front in purple, and the laps progress from left (cold tires and unfamiliar course) to the right (flying through the corners without entirely too little restraint).

Since I'm a lazy nard, the depth axis is in increasing age of session, the lateral axis is in increasing lap number, and the vertical axis is in numbers of pirates seconds for each lap.

You should mention those big spikes caused by being stuck behind my slow ass...

What you can't see in the graph is that once I got around you, we were both leaving skid marks.

Yeah, but yours were on the track and mine were in my pants.

I see you found the innuendo—and out the other!
