No, he referred to us as "Nissan Enthusiasts". I was trying to be nice to him, because he could make our lives more difficult than he already had. I wanted to tell him to .

And this fool really did own a hybrid? He's a tree hugging enthusiast

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.

My only complaints are really just about the officiating staff. :|

It's cool. We know how it all operates now so we know what we can and can't do.

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.

I know I speak for everyone else when I say I had a great time and am highly appreciative of Jon for putting everything together for us.

I just ran against myself... really I was no where near the level to compete with even the "ok" guys in crappy 80s civics lolz Quote:
I have a friend that refuses to go to HDPE because he feels its a waste of money to go racing, with someone in the car telling him what to do... he feels as though he should be able to spend the money to... RACE... which kills me. I told him he will just end up killing someone. He doesnt understand the learning part. AutoX isnt about racing anyone... just race your own time or have a nice competition between friends... who cares about the mods/skill/other people. They sure as hell wont care about ur car... no matter what the mods done. If you plan on staying in AutoX and running in their series, then yeah I get the car issue, but if all you plan on doing is using it as a step up into HDPE for the experiance... then go ballz out with your modded car and beat the bajesus out of it.
