g-force was pretty badass last night. i like the section they re-did. my first race i owned a superkart in a regular kart. i dont know why it was so slow... maybe im just that good my best in the regular kart was 23.9-- and i had 11 laps qualifying for superkarts, so i ran that the second one. it was hard to get used to. the rear end kicks out alot easier than the regular ones. my best with a superkart was 23.3--.


zach - since you know the owner, do you know if he gets mad when people drift the karts? that guy marcus that was with us wasnt that good the first race, so all he did the second races was try to kick it out. i did it a couple times in the superkart just because they have enough power and dont bog down. at the end of the run, the owner looked a little pissy. i would understand because of the excess wear on the tires.


your lucky you got out of it, i know if you were in chesterfeild you wouldnt of..

Yeah, he probably doesn't like it. What really gets them mad is generally stupid driving; anything that may cost them lots of money!

If I was anywhere but Richmond City then there probably wouldn't have been a problem because I would have slowed down!

Hey Zach, you're still going to be around later right (today)?

He's coming down for the exhaust, just waiting on an exact time to be expecting.

I'm gonna see the 7:15 at the Byrd, so I guess I could meet up at 10:00. Really not a good night for me.

It's not your fault and really not a big deal.
I don't hold grudges anyway, but I DO let people know what I think.

yall missed a GOOD event today. we started the drift event at 8... shut it down at 3:30. there were 15 cars, you made runs as you wanted. i got sooo much seat time it was insane. by the time 10 hit, i was content, but everyone wanted to go faster, and sideways...er. i got to be pretty decent with a little practice, im definately a WHOLE lot better than i was.

Hey guys, I saw my first RX-8 in person today! I was on the powhite heading north when I see a red RX-8 get on behind me. I slowed down a little so I could get a closer look; it definitely looked better in person than I thought it would!

The guy driving noticed me admiring his car and gave me a nod before giving it some gas. It was pretty quick too, I couldn't keep up very well in the miata.

Have you guys seen any in the dealers yet?

We went to whitten brothers and saw a black one with about 5 dealers out there detailing it for a customer who just bought it.There was 2 at quality in petersburg but both sold next day,i have a buddy who works at quality he told me to come test drive 1.I went up there the next day and they both sold that morning.
Well im gettting a addition to my toys tommorow morning (a 18 foot 2001 maxim boat).So if anyone hears of anybody looking for a jet ski,ill let mine go cheap since i wont be needing it anymore.
Hey,joe when you wanna check those switches?
