We have the opportunity to make it down to Daytona and run kart week this year. We plan on running CIK/LO206 Sprint if we make the trip. We have never been to Daytona so I am hoping to tap into some of the knowledge that some people here have.
I am guessing that the pits are huge, garages are available. Is a garage worth it? Not worth it? How far is the "non reserved" parking if there is any.
My understanding is that we should start on a 21/58 gear, is that in the ballpark?
Tires? Hoosier R60B? Vega Green? Maxxis Prime? We have two brand new sets of Primes, but if they won't work we will go and get something else.
Kart set up? Same as a sprint track?
Essentially we don't know what we don't know, and I am hoping to close that loop up somewhat. I grew up around road racing (cars), so the road racing aspect is not new to us, but taking karts to Daytona is. Any tips/tricks/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
