MAZOC Karting Challenge 27 April (Sat.)

ZCarMan

Just so folks know. The SPK guy with the hat was Jens Scott. He runs the SPK kart track. I've been coordinating with him every since we started to plan for this event. He contacted me the day after the event to ask if we had a good time, etc. He truly wanted to get feedback on how we felt about our karting event. I told him to come to the board and just read the comments and find out for himself. Okay, not really.

I told him that we all had a great time and that many want to come back again. He said that if we wanted to do an evening karting session to just let him know when and he would work with us to make it happen. I'll leave the coordination for the next event up to someone else though.

He probably referred to us as Nissan Enthusiasts because that is what I told him we were.

I completely understand the safety aspect of it and wanting to keep the hooliganism to a minimum to prevent injuries. I didn't really have any complaints at all, I had a blast.

I agree with the safety aspects! It would have been a real bad situation had somebody gotten hurt.
But in Dana's situation, it seemed like he overreacted a little bit. She was not being aggressive and bumping people, she was just driving in the warm up laps getting used to the kart, and when you have folks learning in that environment, it is easy to miss a braking point, or discovering that a little pressure on the brakes can lock the back tires and around you go! Personally, I think the video could have been more involved in the "unique" handling capabilities of the typical kart.

Jon, as far as you not setting up this next time... If I gave you the impression that I was not grateful for you setting this up, or for the coordination you worked, that was not my intent.

I think I can speak for all, even those that had issues, the overall event was great and a fun experience that most of us want to do again! I was trolling with the hybrid comment, as I respect that some people like those cars, they are just not my thing. And if you give us a hard time... I may troll a bit. His direct quote was "I guess driving those Nissans don't instill good driving skills?". That was after the first warm up laps for Group A and B, but before any of the races. Later in the day, he seemed like a good guy, but my comments were based on Dana's experience and his statement to me.
