Clarkey Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Once again Lui - many thanks for organising this. Like any event/meet always a nightmare - especially when there's money involved! Well done mate!!! Throughly enjoyed myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see Jamie's mate Stuart come along in his Ferrari F355 bet loads would love to have a go side by side with that heh & Jamie mate your car sounds AWSOME Ro mate you car was quick on the way home shame for Clarkey's car playing up with manifold hope you get it fixed soon. Nice to meet everyone & Hogmaw your car is a quick motor too Excellent meal afterwards Hope all got home safe. Will be sorting out next kart race at Daytona within a couple of months time when weather warms up & nights stay lighter so keep a eye out for the next event Many Thanks Lui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 will let Clarkey say who won & possible reason why A guy at work that I invited ... very focused to the point of idiocy. Wouldn't give me the money to pay Lui - until today - as he thought that I'd rip him off! FFS - we work about 15ft away from each other - mores the pity. We all turn up at 18.30 (i think) - This guy has already arrived at 16:30 - he grabs a bite to eat and then procedes to do a 40 minute practice session to get an advantage over the rest of us .. as the event has a 5 minute practice session. Ignores - waved yellow flags!! He passed me 5 times under waved yellows & was black flagged once. Then to top it all off - the cheeky bugger just leaves without saying goodbye - or to thank Lui for organising it. I'll have a tactful word with him at work about that .. as I think that was taking the piss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also does anyone know where I can get a new arse and shoulders !!!!!! Thanks again from the TURBOFIT CREW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 You try going around that track - when your brakes are made of butter! Which would explain - why half way through the session - I hit a tyre wall at about 30 odd mph .. because I came up to left hand bend .. lifted off and touched the brake .. and nothing happened!! The kart was replaced with another. I found the Karts do shift!! But the 2 karts that I drove ... didn't stop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I found the Karts do shift!! But the 2 karts that I drove ... didn't stop! sounds like they need some uk brakes on em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 sounds like they need some uk brakes on em! Yeah! Got butterscotch J-Spec ones on them! You had to tiptoe around the track - well I did anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The fingers of my right hand are still all tingly and it's after 6pm the day after. I hope it is not permanent frost damage. I seriously expected my fingers to be black with frost bite when I took my glove off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
