Thanks John for organising a great evening

I have no idea how Stace & I ended up 11 laps behind the lead cart.

by **Leon** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 10:19 am

That was some wicked fun.

Thanks John!

Well done Tara my team mate, good drive ... much cleaner than my effort where I got hooked on the back of Revheads kart and speared into the tyres, then just plain old speared into the tyres all by myself later on.

Im noticing a trend here, mine and Warwicks front tires got hooked together... now that was interesting to deal with coming onto the front straight

Indeed was a good night...should be done more often I say

Big thank you to the Zorba man

That was fun. But some of my joints are stiff today. Must have got old over night.

Yea , good fun , thanks for organising it , it appears that the transponders were a bit doggy and not counting every lap .

Toy_baru , your joints are probablly stiff from the drive TO the karting lol

Classic moment when Pete had it pointed out he was still wearing his bib at burgerfuel :oops:

yeah something was definitely up on that front, Al & I had to change karts (I killed one :oops:

) we were passed by everyone at least 4 or 5 times, yet only were down like 2 laps at the end & there is no way we lapped the whole field 2 or 3 times :lol:

by **AngelTwin** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 1:00 pm

Yeah, thanks John!! Awesome fun!!

I'm glad that Nat and I aren't the only ones that think the timing was messed up!

Neither of us crashed or spun out at all, during our entire time out there and we were very acurate in couting all of our laps (we are girls after all), we were pitting in sync with everyone else, so it's very strange that we were 11 laps down at the end!!!

Still had fun! Really need to get a bit more agressive though - just don't really like the idea of crashing, so I had to keep buttoning off the gas to avoid carnage! GRR :lol:

Thanks for organising that John... neat fun.
Yep, the official lap counting was definitly not working, so we don't really have a winner... maybe the official winners were the ones that went over the start line the slowest giving the transponder time to do its thing :wink:

BTW I did return the bib this morning. :lol:

I didn't have the problem.

Probably how we came in second rather than first

People getting past me while I was parked in various tyre walls.

I can neither confirm nor deny that.

It was a good night for a 4WD car - is all I can say. :wink:

by **Nat** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 2:47 pm

Our kart was making some real bad noises by the end of it all, I was waiting to come down the straight & have it all fall apart lol

by **Mr Revhead** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 3:01 pm

we killed ours

Pfffft as if... we never crashed or wen't into the tyres in the entire race, and I was only passed by 1 or 2 cars I think. Some people just can't accept losing to a midget

Working it out last night it turns out we ended up doing atleast 3 extra laps anyways haha

Cheers John for a great event!

and you expect us to believe Brendons lap keeping ? :wink:

Great night for sure

by **Cakky** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 6:09 pm

hahaha was awesome fun cheers john

my gokarting skills were pretty crap, i think i kept trying to overtake people in dumb places which usually ended up with me in the tyres

that kart deserved to die revhead hahahaha POS it was, probably never had oil in it the whole race!!

hey my lapkeeping was perfect, it's my teammate driving with his blinders on when I'm holding out the last lap sign that's the problem :lol:

At the end of the day the results say that we won, So I'm going to bask in the glory as us fat people don't get much oppertunity when it comes to go-karts!! :lol:

Big ups to Jonny boy for the awesome night, And a special mention goes to Leeaaarrr the fastest pirate on 4 wheels for impressing me with her driving skills
