A race to forget

4 Nov, it is the 2nd race that Tony and me are going to take part in.

but my race was in tatters before it begins.
since my birthday was on friday, some of my good frens decided that
i shld go drinking with them on saturday and watch the Big match
at Paulanuers. ended the session close to 1am.... slept at 2am... with
much alcohol in the system
good catch up session with frens, but i would think it'll be tough for
the race cos of the session. something gotto give, i guess

Sunday morning, i wanted to wake at 9am. but in the end, only woke
at 10.15am. have to make Tony wait for me for close to 30mins as
i'm driving him in... sign of trouble liao

reached the track close to 1.30pm, and boss told us that the race will
start in qualifying at 2pm. wat the!?!? cos, tony and i just had lunch
at Jusco before going to the track.

Qualifying.. managed to get about the same time. 1min7sec+ .
was 7 then fall back to 10th when there're a few late comers.
i was behind Kenneth.

Heat 1
Disaster struck during the warm up rolling lap! Kenneth was going
SO SO slowly that he is (thus we are) all half a lap from the leading
pack!
then we had to bunched up to do another lap. it was super slow for
all. and at the hairup.... my kart stalled. cannot start again!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

luckily there's Heat 2 for me, but i will be starting from the tail end.
but no DNF for me yet

Heat 2.
Start Position 16!!! cool!!! most easy to park! hahahaha
2 rolling warm up laps. this time, everyone got it rite.
at the start of the race, i overtake 2 before turn 1.
somehow, after that i can do no more....
tony and kenneth were in front of me. within 7-8 karts, but try
as i might i just cannot move an inch nearer...
and i was sweating more so than the previous race.
my hands are more tired.... why???
oh.... Bier! the magic of bier and late nite at its best
anyway, i managed to finish the 15 laps
Tony, in his haste to overtake the little boy was taken out of the race
Leo had the same fate cos of the boy. Louis had his bumper Bump off
all because of the boy whose dad works somewhere high up in the
JW company.

next race, 2 Dec.
have to train for it. no more late nite drinking on 1 Dec.
prepare all item and equipment early.
aim:
qualify 1min 6 sec. the rest will follow from there, i hope.
