Official: Jan 22nd Go-Kart pic/post-event thread

First of all it was good to see some old faces and new.

Competition was fun this time. I had a lot more fun this time then the last and I did pretty decent as well.

And surprisingly I didn’t hear bing scream in the stairways this time.
Wonder if he finally got tamed/whipped :noes:

Here’s a few pics from Justin (and his dad Gus):

i would have but i didnt get to walk down the stairs with a crowd of people this time.

i would just like to say…

BING WINS

yeah… i won…

no excuses either…it was all fair game.

Cleaned up by Gonad. I think your Return key is gettin stuck with something bing. :hay:

lap times?

there were 2 heats.

Derek, Theo and I finished with times around the following

33.40 = derek (kart 19)
34.17 = theo (kart 12)
34.27 = bing (kart 5)

only the top 3 OVERALL would be allowed into the final round

Greg won the second heat but his best time was 34.36 (kart 14), so even though he won his time was still a bit worse than mine.

so Derek, Theo and I were set to go in the final round then Greg and another guy bought in to race as well.

we were debating on who would get to use kart 19 the last time around because we were all convinced that it was the fastest considering the gap between derek’s time and theos.

when we were set to go for the final round no one was in the 19 kart, i was in th 12 kart that theo had driven because i was convinced his good times were the kart and not him…lol… i also knew that some of the really slow drivers in my heat were pulling on me in the straights and they were heavier than me so i knew i didnt want kart 5 again.

just before the race began i saw that no one was in kart 19 and someone said that we could use it if we wanted to. Greg was about to run back to it, but i unbelted first and hopped into kart 19.

we lined up and i was 5th of 5… but after 2 crowded turns i pulled into the lead.

after 6 laps it was apparent that the 19 kart was the superior kart because i was pulllling away so quickly.

i was called into the pits to use a different kart.

in the end i had the fastet time in the final round with a 33.42 in kart 19 and a 33.77 in the second kart i had to use.

derek had a 33.46 in the final round and theo had a 33.6-ish i think.

thus…

bing was fastest in the final round = bing wins…

YAY

" no one drives the 19 the 14 or the 1 car"
Bings fastest lap time: the 19 car, cheater
I had the fastest time of the day
33.40

punk

well Derek, perhaps you should have gone a bit slower in the first heat and saved some of that spunk for the finals…

dont peak in qualifying, save it for when it counts dude…

sorry for your luck, but fastest in qualifying doesnt mean WINZOR!

What did you get for winning bing?

crickets

nothin…

boooooooooooooooooooo

You forgot to mention that I won the race at the end. We were in a bottle neck in the 1st to the 4th corners, leaving me in the last place. I climbed my way up to 2nd and started pulling on bing, one lap I would gain, the next he would pull.
I gained the lead when he pulled into the pits for disobeying the set rules, and couldn’t be touched after that.

Qualifying is about lap times, the feature race is about the race. We had all the good karts out there so you can’t blame the karts for the feature.

I had a great time, lots of really good driving out there. That is nice to have on a rental track.

Here is my final race lap record. I think I had the best average lap time.

And Derek, it was the 19, 14 and 12 that were not to be used in the final because those were the cars we had set the fast times in.

i set a faster time than kart 14 in kart 5 and it was a pig…

had i known that the placing was going to matter i wouldnt have entered the pits… i wish i had of known.

Well, you kinda deserved it for grabbing the forbidden kart heh. They would have hit you with that stick if you ignored the black flag.

Theo for the win?

I think so.

I saw the final race and I saw Theo pass everyone.

So Theo > *

Next was bing. Even with the ‘shitty’ car he did good.

Then Derek and then Greg or Scott (or Sean?).

needless to say it was close, all within 3 tenths of a second anyways.

Derek had 2 of the 3 fastest times of the day and i was second, then theo…

cant wait to do this again.

Sasha and varun are always up in there too, in fact no one can ever beat sasha.

:oops:

Yeah, other dude was Scott. Him and I used to race Karts back in the day (our own on dirt then later ashfalt), he drives a stock car now.

Props to Derek, we raced almost one full lap wheel to wheel in the qualifying, that was the most fun all day.

I had an absolute blast battling with Bing and theo.
theo and I were side by side for the majority of the track.
really gets the adrenaline pumpin.

its a shame we cant run my track day teh same way. bumper to bumper, pushing people to get past.
now THAT would be fun

Great event. T’was fun. Derek was FAST out there, even overcoming Bing’s light weight and aerodynamic driving position! :lol:

Was good to see some old/familiar faces, and meet a few new ones… got me very excited for next season. I expect to see you ALL out at future meets!

More of you should have come for food after, wtf!?

Grats to the winners. Thanks John for setting this up, it went off without a hitch!

:wtf:

Still haven’t gotten a stable running FC? :dunno:

wish i coulda been tehre guys

sounds like the karts were slow

yeah last time we were all in the 32’s i believe.

so long as we are all close it will still be fun.
