Topic: CRB

A bag for CRB can be useful. They tend to break or split once you dropped them an hard surface… Nico Van: Ross Vickers [mailto:...] Verzonden: zaterdag 9 december 2006 20:24 Aan: ...

Hi Rick CRB = Carbon Race Base. It used to apply to the bottom 2 sections (Base) of the mast where carbon fibre sections replaced the fibreglass ones. Now carbon fibre sections are available for the whole mast. But the name has tuck.

 Surely Grant, Some of us SFB have little choice but to revert to CRB's and 4 meter sails. Hopefully you shared my pain at having to spend the best part of several races at the NZ Open Super Heavyweight Class 'wheelchairing' around the course in order to finish.

It works, I'm here – yes really, I seem to have ticked all the correct boxes and clicked the correct buttons and now I'm here and I have to say I'm impressed. I thoroughly enjoyed the NZ Open and learned a great deal about blokart track racing. (One can only improve from coming last I suppose.lol!

Originally sent by: Denis Hi Richard, Hope your blast at Piha went well. About 7 blokarts were at Muriwai. A few of us were doing 60 km/​h consistently down wind using a 3m with CRB. Sure beats racing on tar seal.

Originally sent by: kembro45 Hey Mike, I have been told that the CRB's are more brittle, so I normally run the bigger winds over 30kts with the Std Mast. It gives a more flexible power delivery and the ability to freestyle without damaging the CRB's. From my experience it would be faster with a 2m & CRB in a constant 50+ knots. If it could take it, and you could afford the repairs. Much rougher ride though in the gusty conditions.

Originally sent by: Clinton Hi there everyone. Just an update to the Oz champs. All the hard work has been finished and is all ready to go for the champs. A new sponsor has come aboard. Red Bull will be sending some girls to give Red Bull energy drinks to competitors on both Saturday and Sunday. Entertainment has been booked for Saturday Night.

Originally sent by: nonerd Unless there have been changes to the weight categories of which I am unaware, the so called 'heavyweight' division starts at 85 kilograms . For those of us, (and I believe there are quite a number) who tip the scales at 110kg + those at the low end of the weight category will still have a 25kg advantage – that's a sack of cement, or if you prefer, the weight of a standard blokart – hardly fair competition, unless they...

Originally sent by: Paul Beckett Tim & Lee & any one else that interested! The issue of "Production" category is so that entrants to Karting are not disadvantaged. They buy their karts and that's it, they set up out of the box and go and not get discouraged by getting whipped by some deviate speed monger. So any rogering of masts etc. will be dealt with at scrutineering, and karts returned to stock.
