I won't be there today, we've got freshman recruitment stuff going on. It sounds like most of the team is going next week though.

I'm pulling 31's in whatever I get into now, you need to come battle me.

I should be there tonight with the team

Just remember, fat kids get a one second handicap.

30.548, 3rd fastest of the month.

Got a ticket on the way home. That's what I get for going to the track instead of street racing, I guess

Just paying my fair share to keep Michigan's highways maintained.

Liam, my phone is broken, and I moved, I'm gonna PM you my new address

Got it, I usually work till 1 today but I may be stuck here till a little later today so I'll get up there ASAP. Also it's my friend Kevin's birthday and he may be coming with.

anyone going this week? no longer have a job so i can go whenever

I'm going, feel free to come over for a ride as usual

Don't think I'll have time tonight.

Will be at EIKR tomorrow

I'll be there today

Damn it sounds like EIKR is the new OOC meet spot

It's usually just Liam and me It's the next best thing to having something of your own you can race. Since EIKR is cheap enough to go every week, I'm going to take advantage of it as much as possible.

Went with Berk today for the 2nd time. I only did 2 laps where I tried to go fast (until I lapped him) then I just stayed with him to make it more fun. Those jr karts are so much slower... I got a 33 something and a 34. I guess I need more practice.

There's a kid who came in when Liam and I were there a couple weeks ago who ran a high 32 in a junior kart. He's 14 and has been going there since he was 8.

Holy shit! I think berk's fastest was a 42 or something. The top speed of them is soooo sloooowww. Either that or he needed the pedals adjusted up more because he couldn't give it full throttle

I might be down to go with you guys some wed if you are still doing that. But I will be pretty busy until January.

We go every Wednesday, it's a regular thing so any Wednesday is the day. We'll get you into the 32's no problem

I want to be in the 31's. More motivation to lose weight

Liam and I do 31's, you don't have to be that light to do it.

Doing a lot more than one heat when you go helps. 8 heats used to feel like a lot, now I just want to keep going.

I really like doing enduro's. Different karts require different techniques to go fast. Doing 30 minutes straight in one kart really lets you learn the kart and improve times.

Or go early and use the same kart for a few heats

I'd like to do enduros if I could get into one that was happening.


I love when I'm in a kart that feels very slow and then I figure out some things and by lap 4 or 5 I'm back down into the 31's
