Learning to Drive

Know what? I have been saying this for the better part of 1 year. I have to learn how to drive the kart. The fact is, I don't know how to go about doing it.

Talking to people at the track is not much help.

Trying to find information on the net invariably leads to how to setup your kart instead.

And now, there is a huge problem, I cant find out my time. After the huge shunt last December, my cable for the magnet to the Alfano got ribbed off. Its now with a friend of mine, asked her to find out the cable type and see if she can build a new cable for me.

I was sent a video of me entangling with Tony and Alan hitting me and flying off. But from the video, I saw how I took that corner, and was instantly behind Tony's back. I guess learning to drive now would be learning how to break a corner down into parts.

Entry
Rotation
Apex
Exit

And remembering each and every details of what is happening. In each and every corner.

Race One 2010

Track C - Full Track
Qualified 10th.
Heat 1 finished 8th.
Heat 2 finished 6th.

A few top drivers did not attend, so finishing in the points may be due to that.

Only hit below 59sec one time on Heat 1 Lap 4. And kenna hit by Alan Smith in Heat 2 Lap 3 after entangling with Tony. My front left bumper got stucked in his rear right wheel.

Tested with rear sprocket at 80 teeth, but felt the engine really struggling at the end of the long uphill straights. So changed to a 78 as well as a new chain as old one is stretched at certain location. Was "advised" to use a 80 teeth instead for the next race.
