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.
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.
