Haven't heard from you in a long time …...
Was hope'n for an update on how things are going with the 4 wheel beastie.
My bad, thanks for checking in . . .
Participated in the regional race, and someone wrecked into me on the qualifying lap causing alot of damage. The level of competition was way above my pay grade, so kart being hurt or not, I wouldn't have been that competitive in either event. I was less than one second off the leaders during practice, so I was hopeful, but after the wreck it was al down hill from there. Which is okay, I'm still learning.
Fast forward a month, and the next race (in the series) is two days away. Motor is off at the engine builder getting "the business" and I also popped for new aerodynamics. (Do what the fast guys are doing right!?)
Next race is at my home track, so I'm hopeful I'll be more competitive. (Fingers crossed)
It's funny. Going back to my first race. Being new at the sport, I was completely concerned that I'd make a mistake and cause a wreck. People have some serious $$$ wrapped into these karts. So I was always mindful of the fact ,thinking its not good to get too wreckless/ loose out there. I was beyond passive, very concerned that would be the case, and I would cause damage to another racers kart. It NEVER dawned on me that someone (more experienced) would wreck into ME and cause a wreck.
Live and learn. . .
Still having fun. Still learning. But its about as much fun as you can have an inch off the ground.
But is also an expensive hobby. At this point, it might have been cheaper to get my credit card stolen.
