Tony,
Thank you! This is excellent! I can blame my fat ass and the POS car they gave me! (really, I'm a great driver -- no, I can't see behind me -- oh, are all my competitors heavier than me?? -- oh, I can't see people who wave colorful flag -- oh, oh -- I may have been "outed".... I may need more help out of this one..... :-) Kidding aside, I'm dead certain you're right. The idea of building a bunch of cars that are officially "the same" would prolly freak most car builders. It would me for sure. Actually, having more than one that started equally well would be an issue.... but I digress.... kim. |

Kim, If you come out to the 914 club day at Leman's I will switch karts with the slowest driver for a session. Most likley their time delta will be larger than mine (only because I "kinda" know how to drive, right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif), but there will still be a difference in my times. Lap times at indoor kart tracks is determined by these factors, track surface(how dirty is it), track temp, tire temp, kart set-up, then hp. AN individual driver adds, skill, and a weight factor. Weight DOES have a large effect. The current lap record at Speedring is held by a woman that wieghs about 115lbs.

I can't stand it anymore. All this talk about Karting is making my blood boil. I'm going to lemans karting on saturday afternoon after Roadglue with my little brother to settle a score. Lets hope age and treachery will over youth and skill this time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)
How close is the Hospital from there anyways? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

ah, getting some of that "cheating bastard" practice in for the 914Club meet eh?! (only the greatest of the websurfers know where that came from)
I guess the lemans karting meet on March 15th good for most of you guys? We need to pick a time, and also a head count. Then I, or Tony C (cause he knows the owners) can call to make the appointment. |

I'm thinking the 15th will work fine for me, but I won't actually know for a week or so.
(very low chance that it won't -- no worries) Definitely get Tony (or even me) to make the call -- always play your "who loves you baby" card when setting up group events. (I'll just play the "name drop" card -- lol) Actually, my buddy may be able to make it out as well. He's an ex-P car driver so he can fake it. kim. |

Remind me not to take you for a ride in a "prepared" 914 after lunch.

you gotta do the swimming thing.
Eat, then wait 1/2 hour before you race. I take the other route, skip breakfast, be lighter than everyone there, make the bet, win, then have everyone treat you out to dinner. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |
