Wrapped up my first kart race at SP - GQROB - 04-11-2005
Well, my first weekend of karting was very fun. I started by running a full day of practice (4, 10 minute sessions) at Summit Point on Friday in which my best time was a 1:42. I ran a couple practice sessions and the 45 minute race on Saturday and am uncertain where I finished but managed a best time of 1:40.02. I think I finished mid pack. I saw a bunch of racers that ended up as spectators, and was involved in a slight altercation at turn five with two other karts which put the other two guys out of the race (they admitted was not my fault, I left plenty of room). After that I ran somewhat conservatively in order to complete my first race. I also ran the engine slightly rich all weekend as I do not have a spare. I think that I will manage to knock 3-4 seconds off of my lap times in the next race as I learn to brake later, carry more speed through 1 and 5 and set the kart up better(engine/clutch).

My next event will be at Summit Point again May 7 & 8. You can recognize me by my shoddy setup, consisting of using my Subaru as a tow vehicle for my $200 4x8 Harbor Freight trailer :lol:
