clubs???

if he just cranked the lock on instead of steering straight he would have got round

heres a vid of a tiny bit of all the video, i got in trouble for the 2nd one, but i wasnt looking for the flags, just for the gap. he didnt slow down either, he got in trouble with me.
the next lap the stupid idiot left the gap open AGAIN... almost as bad as some LFS drivers!

nah man, luckily im too stupid to worry about that, i got checked over today and i have a cracked rib, so if i got checked over yesterday i wouldnt have been able to continue the meeting.

2 people rolled in one meeting, after my final i was watching the juniors and a fella went FLYING!!

@kieran, i didnt get a chance to practise because the event started 30 mins before i thought it did lol, so the kart wasnt ready!!!

@we1, collisions always happen LOADS of times per race, some worse than others, i have just learned to accept it, and in a strange way, enjoy it LOL. The starts are violent, any LFS driver would have kittens.

put it this way, if theres a collision ahead and u slow down, the person behind will ram u because they dont want to loose time!!

its really good fun if you think about it in the right way, if u know what i mean.

i was clean, it wasnt my fault! it wasnt brilliant that day, 1st heat setup was crap coz i didnt do praccy, 2nd heat i smashed my kart and it wasnt ever the same!!

very good fun tho, i thought i was gunna get some broken bones tho!!

grats!

its a race between vMax and T7R to see who can break the 100 members mark first

whilton mill

its hard to get worse, but ill attempt it

yo bruvs dis is da teem site of spirit of speed da best team wot ever was abaut. we got good membas now and da teem is loking good.

hmmm nah, its too hard

yea, so obviously its not bad english, coz its japanese

i think thats japanese

wow man, ive never seen a site written in worse english.

Guys, we have ONE more week to get 10 teams. We have 9 teams now, if everyone confirmed still comes. Thats 1 more team. COME ON FELLAS!!! if anyone else wants to be in a 2 man team then thats fine, we would have 12 teams if everyone did a 2 man. the more karts on circuit the better it is.

If you are on the 1st page but have not confirmed PLEASE PM Tristan to tell him if you can come or not.

Maybe tristan can update the 1st page with lippy and the new 2 man teams....

this is a pic of me (28) and the guy who i had a fight with was number 20

seriously i think that i mgith have done a bit of damage to my head. ive got a massive head ache and everything does litterally feel like im drunk. my neck CANES. i think ill take a trip to the docs tommorow.

but like i say, none of it was my fault!

right dudes i know most of u dont care but this is seriously the most flukey and luckiest thing that has EVER happened to anyone. EVER.

right, my day started off badly when my engine fell off in practise.

1st heat i got bollocked big time for fighting in parc ferme.
2nd heat.... now, this is mad.

karts are fast machines, and the starts are crazy, side to side and back to back, 30 karts filled with testosterone filled teenage lunatics. anyway the race started and i passed about 3 people around the outside. so, i tried to cut back in to the inside for the next left half way up the massive straight. sum1 just tagged me and spun me round as i changed lanes. so i spun, and when u spin in a kart your engine stops.

so i was facing 20 karts all doing 60mph with me sitting there facing them with my engine stopped doing 0mph. Lots of them shit themselfs and swerved to avoid me, but 1 guy didnt see me. he slammed on the brakes and went sideways and hit me at about 50mph. my head went right up facing the sky and i closed my eyes. as my head returned and i opened my eyes, i found myself FACING THE RIGHT WAY AND MY ENGINE WAS RUNNING!!!!!! WTF!!! it takes 2 grown men (or women) to start a kart engine from the grid!!! so i laughed and carried on. i looked back and the guy who hit me was travelling along the track WITH HIS KART ON TOP OF HIM!!!! HAHAHA!!! my kart got a crack which got worse throughout the day (kart is now a write off)

3rd heat i got a good start then got involved in a bit of push and shove and lost a few places, so started to make my way through again. passed some guy and he didnt back off and give up his line, so my rear went over his front and i crashed. looked at his kart at the end of the race and his kart was written off. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! he did it in the heat before and took someone off so, meh... he deserved it. wasnt my fault anyway.

in the final i almost rolled in a 65mph corner but with a totally knackered kart was only 0.3 secs slower than the winner HAHAHAHA!

Then had a barbeque from a really rich person with massive motorhomes and 10 engines. BRILLIANT!!!!!

so all good fun. and none of it my fault!!

PS AHAHAHAHAHA

Tristan, this 'steering straight' u talk about is you controlling the car with the throttle, not with the steering.

this is an impossibility to this degree with an F1 car because the TC would kick in, so u HAVE to steer to correct it, and if u do u can hold quite big slides, so ive seen.

it was obviously on purpose, but like the guy above says very clever and i would have done the same, and probably will in my next kart race

in my opinion if u dont do anything fun then life isnt worth living anyway. i crashed into a car at 35mph on my cycle but ill still carry on to ride quickly. aslong as i dont harm anyone else with my fun then meh.. which is why its so bad when spectators die.

nah he took his car to south city and some local scum south city druggies nicked his wings.

oops i forgot to add, when there is a slow guy braking early on a real track it usually does end up in a crash. so its not that they dont want to crash really, they are nutters and it doesnt matter to them.

watch this

u notice that everyone goes flying into turn 1 like lunatics, but there are no accidents because there isnt anyone braking early, in formula 1 u get the same. i remember seeing an interview where coulthard said that he just goes flying in so that he doesnt get hit from the rear.

(When i say turn 1 i mean the harpin where they brake hard)

yes, same as last year, drivers can choose how many people they want in their teams. the more teams the better! its more fun with 15 karts than 10.

Its no advantage to run 2 people, and unless u do a bit of excercise its a bit of a disadvantage, but believe me, driving these karts (which are alot faster than the indoor ones) is alot less demanding than the indoor ones. so definatly if people want only 2 drivers, thats fine.

even 1 driver would be ok. its up to u.
aslong as we get 10 teams then its worthwhile for the circuit.

Quote from Linsen :

now that's just about the safest way to cause a huge pilup in T1 illepall. how an experienced driver can actually say and probably do such a BS is really beyond me.

well m8, its safer than braking and getting rammed yourself. another example of this is in the chicane at classic, now i do try to avoid people there because if i push them theres no runoff (not that i put them offline at the start) but i usually end up getting rammed and a massive pile up ensues.

ask anyone with real life experience and they will tell you that its the ones who brake early that cause all the bottlenecking and problems.

it costs like £2 more than last year for a team of 3. and i doubt many people would want to drive for 1 and a quarter hours each to be honest.
