These were pretty fun last night until my PS3 froze.  I'll try to make it on tonight.

Looks good Brindle. I think I'm taking the night off though. If all is quiet here, I'll try to drop in for a few races.

Damn, I haven't driven a kart in almost a year.  I'll try to make it and I'll stay out of everyone's way if I do.  I foresee lots of spinning in my future.

Boston, they don't handle like they use to. They're much more forgiving, it seems.

Was looking forward to this.  Left the office at noonish, ran some errands and fired up the PS3.  It didn't take long to realize my wrists are shot again.  Driving isn't going to happen, but an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon has been scheduled for next Thursday.

Stay thirsty my friends.

Had fun last night.  The kart feels a lot more solid than pre 2.0, from what I can remember.  Had some good side by side racing at a few points.  I was surprised I can hit a lot of the rumble strips with little or no consequence.  Weak slipstream still felt pretty "strong" to me.  Definitely felt the downforce taken off the kart in turn 2 of Suzuka.  Thanks for the fun and good racing.
