[Tashko]

I feel for ya Doug. If you want, we can trade places...assuming you're going for vacation and not a lobotomy...:eek:

[WannaBeRacer]

Sorry is this 945am or pm? Sucks if it's pm if I'm coming from London.

Cool John, we'll see you then. We need to reel you in so you don't get too much of a lead! ;)

[Tashko]

We're up to 12 drivers...should be another competitive event!!

[WannaBeRacer]

Now that it's AM I'm there did you get my PM lol.

[Tashko]

Hey Curtis,

We'll save a spot for you in case you can make it. No worries!

Tashko.

[JoeT]

Thanks everone for coming out, lots of fun clean (99.5%) racing, and lots of fumes breathed in by everyone. (That must be healthy, right?).

Even WannaBeRacer turned out to not be a wannabe, I think some people are going to be sore tomorrow.. Muahahahha..

See y'all next time!

[WannaBeRacer]

LOL I am sore. I wish I filled the seat up a little more so I didn't get slammed around while sitting in it. The worst is my left ribs because I hardly ever used the brake to support me on right hand corners. On a side note they should really try to equalize those karts more. The final race for me was awful the rest was great fun though.

Ok so now I will have to ask, which one were you? Tall guy that drove the 13 kart for qualifing?

[Tashko]

On a side note they should really try to equalize those karts more.

Last year they paced all the karts for us in the morning before we started. I was surprised there was a group before us on Sunday! Crazy early, and it doesn't offer time for pacing.

I will see what we can do about the next one to get them paced. It only takes 15 minutes or so to get done and I think it's worth it.

However, that kart #1 was FANTASTIC to drive in the last race. I had a smile on my face the whole time. Aside from a bit more top speed, it handled great! Even if they reduced it's top speed to be the same I think it would've still been the kart to have due to it's handling.

It made up for my first race were I stalled while sitting on pole, only to have the green flown and the field stream past! That was sad. :eek:

I'll have the results up tomorrow! :D

Thanks again to all those that showed up. See you for Round #3 in March!

Yeah kart 13 was great except for the transponder. I wonder how they "pace" the karts. They probably just adjust the throttle stop. Someone must've screwed in the one on kart 18 all the way in the final race lol. I should've known when it barely started in the first place.

I had number 18 in the first race, that thing was a piece of crap, and it could hardly keep running. It was also hard to start.. Grrrr.

[WannaBeRacer]

It seemed to get slower and slower as the race went on. You know how else I could tell? I finished last and got lapped that's how.

ah ok I was the other guy that qualified in the 13 kart but I had the 6 car in both races and like that one.

[WannaBeRacer]

The only kart I liked was 13. 4 handled well but lost out on the straights.
