Great racing tonight in the Jr. Karts. I messed up at Nurburgring track which ended me finishing 3rd. Congratulations to all who won tonight.
 
Tell me about it. I had the speed to run near the front in all races and managed to blow it one way or another. Probably could have legitimately been top 3 every race. Must be nerves or something.

My kart was pegged all the way around the Speedway and wouldn't get over 70mph even with a draft. Couldn't keep up. The 75mph/4.62 didn't work for me for some reason.
 
Grinds hasn't been on it about a month I think...

yeah, I havn't seen him in a while. Just thought I'd throw it out there.. maybe entice him to join us for our first Senna kart race. :) If he doesn't respond I'll have somebody who raced last night pick one.
 
Oh, me? ^-^

High Speed Ring Forward. I loved the drafting action yesterday at Motegi and Brands Hatch, and I want more of it. :D

Huh! What? Really? Wow! I'm in total shock!
At Motegi;
Gotta thank @racingchamp30 for the draft work, in front and behind of me during the last laps, I would not have been even close without that team work!
I was told @TEX36 gave me the last bump to shoot me into the lead past the three cars on my left and he finished .050 behind, tex didn't have to do that but what sportsmanship! 👍

I must also thank my unofficial sponsors Marlboro and Coors light, my right and left feet, my two hands and Mom! ;)

Just know i draft better from the back than i do with any driver behind me Chatva. Glad i was able to help you get the win, looking forwards to racing you in future races and all other members of SNAIL as well.
 
Well, since grinds hasn't been on in a while and I don't think Handlebar isn't doing much karting lately I'll hand one pick over to @Digzeh.

@chatva - I know you always tend to pass on your choice, but being this weeks points winner we'd be honored to race at a track of your choosing next week.

The current lineup is:
High Speed Ring
Indianapolis Road Course
 
@HSAXET You're still unable to edit the spreadsheet? When I'm on it shows that you have access to edit. *shrug* Are you logged into Google when you access?
 
I intend to kart, but soccer is just wrapping up Saturday. Then I can possibly rave 1-2, then after our big hiking trip.

@Lessen In the Senna cart?
 
I'll choose a track - not sure how I can, but... I should be able to attend! Once I get son from soccer, I'll test a few - I tend to lean towards Circuito de Madrid (either direction), but I'm not sure how that kart is geared.

@chatva Yes sir. Senna kart (it's a 100cc)

@Handlebar The Senna kart turns a lot of rpm's and just keeps pulling. I was working on the gearing for Indy yesterday and set the top speed slider to the highest position and still had to adjust 1st gear by .100 shorter to make use of the revs.

The Senna kart is a bit tighter than the PD karts. You can get much more aggressive with brakes and steering angle.

@Handlebar do you play soccer man?

Both of my kids do, my son is decent. Both of them, like I was many years ago, are defenders. My daughter sometimes is a middling midfielder, but both have learned the joy of reducing a prima donna forward to petulant insults, catty or concealed fouls, and to return the favor with a smile, a wink, and a "Yeah, whatever" or no response. Wind em up and take the high road.

I play the Russian chauffeur now - Piekup Andropov. Fell asleep after last practice run - I will find a track right after work tomorrow.

Defenders? Crap. I usually play as a forward hahaha in the likes of Torres, Ibra, Luis Fabiano and so on.
