lying in my bed, i think to myself, wat's for today?
soccer at Eagle's Club tied in with Matt's baby's
shower or.... go PJ for karting? tough choice?
not really?
the traffic is fairly smooth today. managed to clear
both immigrations in abt 30mins. return trip takes
about the same duration too.
since i went in alone, i tried the route that KP lead
last week. nearly turn earlier than i should as there
are quite a number of GoodYear bill boards, which i
use as a marker
went Jusco 1st... for my kopi and ipoh chicken hor fun
not bad, in all it cost RM9+. but the kopi is a bit toosweet, and the hor fun.... well i never like hor fun
in the 1st place. however, i like to try it anyway, and
it taste 7/10. hahaha
tried kart 916 today. wah liew... the tail-end always
swing sideways. torque is good, but the back tyres
practically cannot cope with the torque generated
by the engine. had to fight hard to keep the beast
in check. end of 1st session best time is 49something
not good.
spoke to this Jap guy who was there to kart as well.
but he was on 125CC, rented. his previous kart (88)
was sold to, u never guess it... DENNIS LIAN!!
whom i met just now, did not speak to though
2nd session, either there is more grip to the track
and tires or me getting used to it... time is better
at 48.82.
my initial plan was to go for another session, knowing
that i will definitely cut that time further to perhaps
a lowlow 48sec.
then, there he goes again. Louis, the boss, talk to me
again to get a personal kart. as it will be cheaper in
long term, and more improvement to karting skills
then i tried the kart.... 250cc, 4 strokes.
although, he told me that the tires were not too good
i did managed to go full throttle after 2 laps, as the
kart feel very very stable in braking and cornering.
so much so that i realised i was still on the throttle
thru all corners.. i stopped after 6 laps of test run.
the aftereffect?
my neck hurts from all the sideway Gs! i recalled
on one of the lap thru the hairpin, i felt my neck is
really strained..
WAHWAHAHA
but darn additive lor
wanted to try one more session of test run. but the
skies open up.. rain. the race is going to be delayed.
spoke to a few more guys, David, Yeo and some others
before i head to Jusco for a quick lunch and then home.
instead of having the usual, i went for KFC, 2 pieces
meal. less than RM10
eat with my hands. yumyum!!one revelation i found out today really is this:
with the kart we rent to play with, we are in fact
racing against a couple of elements 1st before we
can set a good time.
kart condition.. tires... chassis stiffness... seats
it will be never to our satisfaction, and hardly can
be tuned out to our liking.
thus, i called for Stage SKR soon
