While I'd LOVE to start this report, I think Rich (or is that Crazy Rich?) would like to get this one going.

You, my friend, are still suspended. I don't think you are even allowed to participate on the forum.
I will give you my update. My son had major engine difficulties in Jr1Clone. I had major difficulties keeping up with adjustments, gear changes, jetting issues, and hunting for the problem.
For WF after an exciting day the finish order was

But the best part was.... And you are quite correct Mr. Ron. I have no idea how he is even accessing this board. I suspect that with his lack of scruples he has paid off the hosting company to circumvent his suspension. But then again, who knows. I am sure we all THOUGHT we knew Simon...well, at least until his recent admissions....  At least MyLaps is honoring our agreement. |

...set aside. Quite unfortunate given the excellent driving displayed up and down the grid. As it turns out the absence of the NFRA President from the race

You, my friend, are still suspended. How can that be ? My sentence (which incidentally was handed down with no court session whatsoever) was : have all driver privileges suspended and will not be allowed to race at the NFRA sanctioned event this weekend in Davis.I'm not suspended any more, unless some other double secret court session took place while I was in exile, which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest ! |

The double secret court session where you were put on quadruple secret probation was, in fact, secret. All participants were required to wear a paper bag over their head to maintain confidentiality. I pretty sure most of the court were NFRA members, but there could have been a couple homeless people in there too. As you know, we welcome anyone....considering your actions we are now reconsidering that stance. |

OK Where do I start ! Qualifying, P1-#9, P2-#19(outside lane!)P3-#5,P4-# ,P5-#90 1st heat, boring! #9 1st, #19 2nd, #90 3rd. #5 loses chain 3 corners in. 2nd heat, Oh my. At the start #19 was obviously contemplating the meaning of life, or wondering if I should get some more of those neat toe socks. Because when I saw the green flag the Inside row had already put the hammer down. I watched three karts pass me by turn 2. However I had caught up and in my ever mature decision making process saw a hole when everybody went wide in turn 3. By the middle of turn 3 I had decided that this was a stupid idea. I was on the brakes and trying to slide in behind the #90. Now due to the unknown extra kinetic energy applied to the #19 kart. I am going with the theory of secret government laser weapon testing, but did hear of some long lost toxic waste under that corner that alters the known coefficient of friction/heat/mass and effects the intelligence of all drivers in that corner. #19 makes contact with #90 with the usual touch, bounce, touch again. The result is the driver of kart #5 passes both of us on the outside, up the hill. The race stays in that order while I conduct a personal Kangaroo Court inside my helmet. ( Your a dumb&*($@, No your dumb#*!!). The result of this Kangaroo Court was that #19 was going to give his position back to the #90. So on the last lap #19 was trying to slow down and give back a position to #90. At which point there was a see who could go the slowest and last across the finish line contest. The Main, Here we go again. With out going to all the details. Lets just say that that #19 started in the P4 outside row. The whole group came into turn 3. #19 took an inside line of turn 3. Because you know,it work so well last time. The #5 kart was following thru on his proper racing line when two karts tried to occupy the same space. The following double pirouette by the two karts would have been a thing of beauty in any ice skating contest but there were no bribed judges( as of yet ) present. After a couple of infield donuts # 19 reentered the race just ahead of #5. At which time another singular session of Kangaroo Court was called inside of #19 helmet. It was determined that this incident was completely caused by the idiot driver of the #19. After driving angry for about 8 laps and wondering if I could just ram the barriers at the end of the hairpin and drive down Poleline Road all the way home. The driver of the #19 followed the ruling of the last Kangaroo Court and let the #5 kart have his position. I am sure other witnesses have much more to add. 1st Place Brad #9 2nd Place Ron #90 3rd Place Ray #5 4th Place  #19 5th Place Scott # Post Post race report After a pleasant post race beer with Brad. We were all packed up and ready to leave. Bid Brad goodbye and noticed the Blue Max brain trust having beers over by a big trailer. Thought I would go over and again offer my sincere apologies to the driver of kart#5, the owner of kart#5, and other assorted Blue Max bigwigs. After the consumption of multiple 24 packs of Bud lite( of which the I had one beer) The driver of kart#5 and the driver of kart#19 are now best buds and I have a standing invitation to all Monday Night Football parties of #5 house. With that much social lubrication I am now up to date on all race track gossip, man gossip, and the general valley karting scene. I think I drove out the gate just before dark at 8:30  |

All I know is in the Main right next to the #5 at the start I was screaming in my helmet I am not going to lift, he is not going past me, I am going to wreck before he gets by me. I prevailed in my spot with minimal contact, which given the #5's reputation and mine is surprising. All I know is I am extremely sore after this weekend. As for the Jr1Clone kart has parts on order and I think the problem is valve train related as everything else checks out. He went from 2nd place last week, battling for first, to have a kart with no power. It was hilarious when Rich and I were both slowing down to let the other one to the finish line. People in the stands were probably weondering what we were doing. And Rich, next time do not give me that spot back. It's all good. I chalked it up to racing incidents. |
