tonight... sucked... mostly...
tonight mostly sucked...
got to the track and ran my 4 practice laps... 30 minutes later its pouring rain and it didnt stop for an hour or so. so then we wait another hour for the track to be re-prepped and by the time it was done it was 8:30 or so. by the time i went out to race it was sometime between 9:30 and 10:00 but i was starting first in what we were told was our main event race. so i was in a good mood for it... starting first... brand new motor... track is nice and sticky and fast... but then the race started. the kid in 2nd jumped the start (and didnt get introuble for it) and by turn 1 i was 3rd or 4th and a few laps later thanks to 1 stupid move i was back in 10th working my way forward. i got all the way to 6th when coming out of turn 4 on the last lap some little kid spun one of the adults and he slid up infront of me and BOOM! im in the air for a second and i come down and almost tear down the wall. ended up finishing 9th or 10th. got off the track and i went up and participated in the huge angery meeting between the drivers on the track... everyone ganged up on the little kid. good. he deserved it. he got out of the pit and i walked after him and said to him "hey, thanks for destroying my kart asshole". i guess he didnt like that but i dont like my kart getting torn to shit and needing to bend my steering wheel back because i hit the kid so hard.
here are some beautiful pictures i got of my kart after i got home...
^hole that is now in my floor^
^left front corner of my kart^
^upper part of my left front corner^
^right front corner^
but other then that lets see... oh yeah... turns out that was just the qualifier. way to let us know. so we go and fix the kart a bit so its raceable and then it starts to rain... hard... race over... so that was fun...
