Pretty sure those are fastest laps.

Like you, my knowledge of race craft and basic race car physics is what helped me improve with each session. Just need more seat time... and must add lightness. :tup:

Haha. TO THE GYM!

Look Chris, I know how you feel. You had the skill. You had the weight. By all rights, you should have won, probably. I'm sure you are a little upset about that because you wanted to prove it, so here I am telling you: you did well. Very well, and you should be happy with your performance. You have nothing to prove to us: you are good at karting. If you got black flagged for a fluke, well...I guess that is racing.

So for what it's worth, all that karting may prove beneficial whenever you HPDE. But don't expect to be a pro day one :-P

From what I saw in the last race, you need to go more YOLO into the corners. Attack them with some anger! :icon17:

You done fugged up.

It's stupid, actually. If you spin, they black flag you, and you have to come into the pits to serve a penalty. IMO, the time lost by spinning out should be the penalty.

Dana was pissed because when she spun, the guy gave her some (angry) lecture. She felt like they rubbed her the wrong way by treating her like a noob so she quit. She knew why she spun but the guy wouldn't quick yapping. I was upset about that because she would have done well if she stuck with it. Oh well... there's next time.

No, he spun out in T1 to keep from hitting you.

Masa 04-29-2013 09:39 PM

To offset my 205 pound girth, once I got comfortable with the kart capabilities I began left-foot braking into the corners. This allowed me to keep my revs up with my right foot planted onto the accelerator while shedding some speed. This is what allowed me to creep up on Cwiz on the semi-final race. :D
