The first heat I had a shitty kart, so my lap times were down 6 TENTHS, so that sucked. You could see the texture of the cords in the tires. I hate it when they wait till the tires are completely trashed. Just a waste of time and money for me.
The second heat, I had a fast kart (good tires) and was pulling some kick *** clean laps, lapping almost all of the other superkarts on the track. When I came off none of my times registered so I have no idea what they were.
My laps were so much smoother than last time. I know I must have pulled a low 23.7, which would have put me in the top 50.

Hey. I had a good kart first heat, got a 23.8xx. Second heat the tires were fucked and it understeered all over the place. Best I could pull out of it was a 24.0xx. I like that second hairpin.
Mike: They have a graphite gray mr. They got it in last sunday, so it was there all last week at least. They also have a silver gsr with sunroof/leather package. Man that MR was fun.

mike: well, we are interested in buying the car, and my dad was with me. the guy was reluctant to let me drive it, but he was fine letting my dad. my dad drove it some then we switched, and the guy just said I couldn't take it out on like midlothian or tell people at the dealership I drove it, lol.

Failed Inspection
Does anyone know where I can get my TII inspected that won't hassle me about the lack of emissions equipment?? I have a nice rejection sticker on it after the service station I took it to today had a quick look. Thanks for the help.

If anyone see an FTP lense on the side of the road down in Chesapeake somewhere along Greenbriar roads it's mine. (at least it was on the passenger side maybe I'll just leave it as a free mod)
Anyone know where to get the inside door handle assembly drivers side, it self destructed as well this weekend.

Hey Rob- Very good question. I am in the same boat as well. I have heard that the Village Exxon is a 'good' place to go for inspections. Although I cannot attest personally.
If you find a place, please let me know. I will have to bolt the Bonez cat in and go try it out!

Anyone know a guy that drives a red S4 with a black (or dark blue) hood?
I was just out for a smoke a minute ago in front of my house (Cary St.) and it drove by.
Just curious.

yea, technically you can do whatever you want since its your car. its kinda for if you have a rejection sticker, you can take it to the same place and they have to issue a sticker to you without charging you for another inspection fee, legally. if you scrape it, and take it somewhere else, theres no foul there.
honestly, send it to lexus of richmond, and wait on it. they will look at lights, brakes, and windshield wipers if your lucky. do it at about 11:00-11:10, they wont give a **** and just slap a sticker on it. (i cant promise, but im sure thats what will happen)

I actually found a guy on Broad that will pass it for me so I am headed that way tomorrow morning. It is going to cost me an extra Jackson...not too bad for a guaranteed 11/05 sticker I guess.

I'm still installing my single turbo. I got frustrated trying to get parts... I sent out some emails this morning so hopefully I will be on the right track now.
It is killing me having this turbo sitting in my garage for so long.
