I still plan to post up some replay videos.  Just haven't had time unfortunately.  I've put in about 135 hours at work the last 2 weeks. 

Sorry y'all.

I'll need someone to send me the replays from tonight though.  Can anyone that saved them send them to me please?  Thanks.

I would like to apologize for my abrupt exit from the second race.  My daughter was wanting me to do something and racing and listening to her was not working.

Just out of interest when is the next kart race?  I'm not very good with karts but I would like to give it a go.  Or is this series going to move on to a different series now since it's February?  Either way, I would like to join in.

Here is the link for the next series.

I should be out a few nights this week if you or anyone else for that matter wants to get some track time in with company.

I had two great close races Friday night as well.  It was only my second showing at this series, partially because of technical issues a couple weeks prior... but this evening was pure awesome.

I ran a very close race with Baked to beat him out on race #1 by .003 = very fun.

(btw, I'm sure I probably unintentionally separated baked from bada's draft and he probably should have been up there with him, but our back and forth (probably at least 6 times) battle was really really fun :D

Then, Pete gave me a great battle in the 2rd race that lasted for quite a while!

That's what matters most over winning stuff like this -- having a GREAT, close, yet hard race with someone near you on the track!


MrFibbles - check out GT Saturdays (listed here on this site or on PSN) because we will be doing one of the single-gear karts in a week or two...  It will be a good way to learn especially if you show up to the lounge early and turn some laps with a few of us.

Thanks to everyone who braved the waters to start their career in karts. The opening season was filled with tight racing that provided some spectacular passing and great finishes. It will be interesting to see what these future stars of racing can do as they get to the next level.

The final two races were at Laguna Seca and Motegi East. At Motegi Brindle took the pole and the victory with badaboya getting runner up honors and ex_stream rounding out the podium. Then at Laguna Seca the top two from the last race flipped qualifying and finishing positions with Baked taking the third spot. Congrats to all podium finishers.

And now for the season ending points totals

Brindle       780
Baked        640
badaboya   580
TunaWiz     500
peyepete    400
Grumpy      390
ex_stream  230
jlbowler      190
Mondo       150
Turbo        140
crackshaft  130
Dude         130
nosoks       110
Ballistic      100
dlrws6         80
AgentWD40  10

Congratulations to everyone this much fun for me I am hoping many of you felt the same way.
