I didn't want to blame my kart last time but this one had so much more grip out of corners and was far more chuck able

Big thanks to Gareth and the guys for letting us stay on for twice as long. Whoever didn't come missed out big time

Gareth, just a suggestion for the place.

Do you think one of the staff should take out each kart for 10 laps and see if the lap times are close or consistent between each one?

The one I had tonight (16) didn't understeer anywhere near as much as kart 5.

tbh we do try and it is something that i have suggested gets done every morning but a kart could be fine in the morning and then some sack of shit sticks it into a barrier and ruins it, and then unless we drive it again we dont find out

also the same when you have some silly tart who goes out and drives around at about 4 mph. it floods the carbs and the engine keep stalling

all in all though not a bad little race, thanks to those who turned up. like i say il organise ice karting at some point in the future, will cost around the same.

Me and Paul been discussing it, other week Tom lapped me twice in 30 laps? This week I was at the front all the way and was lapping people. Only place I changed my style was corner by pit lane hanging it out wide and keeping it flat and main straight braking hard and getting back on gas quick.

OJC has been making out on facebook chat that he beat you even though you were doing 29 second laps.
I kept asking him 'How come gareth didn't win?' and he just kept changing the subject / ignoring me

Not bothered at all why would I be? It's only a bit of fun, not the indy 500 mate.

Not tonight, it wasn't until we got caught in traffic and got bumped by two people and dropped to 3rd, caught you both up and got back into 2nd then spun you off that wasn't intentional

My kart was spot on responded to every input

I find it interesting that the kart I won with last week came last this week... does that just mean I won with a duff kart last week?
