#030 - Coronel in Huizen (17/01/2009)

On Saturday I went karting somewhere other than DFE (wow) because of my brothers lasergame party, so I just tagged along.  It's a really really bad kart track though. Seriously.

The staff is horrible, they have no idea what they are doing and don't even help a karter when they crash in front of them. I had to ( Read more... )

#029 - Racing Night (13/01/2009)

Last week tuesday I went to Racing Night, but wait, I went alone! =O My dad was in Russia for business and I actually really wanted to kart so I just decided to go.

On social level; I was a complete loner, kind of. It was better than I expected though. The pro's came sit with me, but we didn't really talk much, I ( Read more... )

#028 - This totally deserves it's own blog!

About two minutes ago I was informed about something AWESOME. This guy that works at DFE (apparantly, but I've never seen him on shift) and also races in Racing Night (which is where I know him of), Joey Palm (another Joey, I don't really know this one) asked me about my time just a couple of minutes ago, ( Read more... )

#027 - Halloween Horror

Last night Victor told me about something really scary that happened at De Fabrique last year. It was 31 October.. (it's true, really) and Victor was standing at post 2 (the turn after the one when you go out of the pits) and there was no one at post 1. Then suddenly a man headed for the tires, but made no attempt to slow ( Read more... )

#026 - It's all in the name

Yesterday I went out with two of the guys from De Fabrique; Joey and Victor, and three of their friends, and amongst all the other things we talked about karting - of course. I found out that Victor was 'Powerranger Vicky' on track, which was one of the names that I didn't know who it belonged to, and we talked about how ( Read more... )

#025 - Ugh.. (06/01/2009)

The title of my blog says it all. The word describes exactly how I drove tonight. Firstly, it was -2 degrees at the track. Honestly. Even my super-holy-gloves-that-I-love aren't made for that. On the first heat I kept on my hoodie, but it was relly hard moving around and shifting my weight in that.. I couldn't even put on ( Read more... )

#020 - Design me a suit

I found this really cool brand that makes kartsuits. It's called MIR-racing. It lets you pick a model, customize it and they can make the sizing specifially for you. Or me, in this case, since I doubt ay of you will want one. ;)

I don't know how bored you are, but if you've really got nothing else to do.. Design me a race suit ( Read more... )

#019 - Briefing

A couple of months ago I went to De Fabrique (DFE) with some friends, which was a lot of fun, and Tim asked me if I wanted to give his briefing (the explanation before karting), but I kindly refused the offer because I wasn't sure if I could remember everything. By now I've memorized his entire speech and I can cite it practically ( Read more... )

#018 - My Terminology

Some of the words and people I mention you might not know. So let me broaden your horizon.

Racing Night: This is every tuesday night. It starts at around 7:00 PM and ends at 9:30 PM most of the time. Usually we do three heats. Racing Night has kind of become the meet up of all the professional karters of my age. My dad and I are ( Read more... )
