:O Dude… it’s been short lived, but it was nice knowing you… !!! :O
I think I get the idea why it’s called chicken wing…. Someone(who? i can’t remember, havent’ registered the helmet colouring scheme) was flappin his/her wings on the straight as I was catching up….. Next question is WHY flap? Looked kinda funny 😀 Was tempted to do the chicken wing flaps too, but afraid that it might mean something which I didnt mean to say(such as the finger or other hand gestures 😉
It was great meeting up with so many ppl and I’m sure I’ll meet up with many more this Sunday. Now I’ve gotta try to put the names together with the nicks and the helmets and the faces. This is so confusing…. Thanks for all the 20mins of fun on the track…. In all honesty, it didnt feel like 20min. It was alot of good fun. 🙂
On the last lap, I’m not sure if I bumped wheels with someone from my-Kart or was someone else and then got lifted onto his kart(right after the wet patch after the esses). If it was anyone here, I’m sorry I held my line 😉
So, do tell me what are the dos and don’ts of wheel to wheel karting? I just follow what’s allowed/what i see on F1…. Of course none of the Schumi like moves on Damon or Jacq 😉 Thank God I didnt bump into 666 🙂
FYI, it’s been a year or so since I last karted on Shah Alam. So i did notice a few things missing. Plenty of curbs have been taken off – was this for safety sake or so that the public karters will stop destroying the underbody of the karts as they ride the curbs ;)?
Those that I can remember right now, the corner after the straight which used to be the start/finish or pit exit, the middle corner of the esses, i think the tight hair-pin corner and the exit of the corner right infront of the pits. Generally i feel that the grip levels are quite acceptable to run that wide, provided u don’t run on the old curbs with your wheels. Is it faster to run the normal line(ie not pass the ‘old’ curbs) or run wider where it’s necessary?
Who’s Jazeman? Was he there yesterday? I’ll be sure to speak to him this coming Sunday. 1:14-1:15s quick? I seriously thought I was slow when I saw the times of 1:10-1:11….. Do you think loosing 10kgs will help me get my times there? From memory there’s no weight penalty for being light and i remember they were smaller n thinner frames.
Naza, I’m not buaya….. Still learning…. I’m very sure I can improve with better competition, thanks again for setting up my-kart, fantastic idea….. So far, I hardly have good competition to practice/race with except on the actualy races itself(then it’s too late).
Mark,
My tip…. Loose 10kgs 😉 I’ll be on my diet to get mine down to 55kg on 1st Sept. Damn, I forgot, I still have to have my helmet weight included.

Damn, I forgot, I still have to have my helmet weight included.[/quote]..well, you met Azlan the AJK Makan yesterday…I was the one who went for Mamak snack, then came back for ice cream while waiting to go ut…unfortunately I can only give makan tips for you to gain weight >70kgs!…hehehe[quote=edwynlow]guys,
rd8 is ccw. any tips from the jedi master(s), i havent run a ccw before..[/quote]
Try and pop down to CK mid week daytime when it’s quiet… you can ask to practice counter clockwise if the track is empty 😉
As for tips, sorry bro I’m still learning and hungry for tips too!! I think I can safely say, you either love it or hate it though. For me, I feel that ccw is faster than cw, but then again it may also have more to do with track familiarity and being out of my comfort zone!

[/quote]azlan – were your weight like ruben’s last time? and now i know why ruben is named rawflesh !!! i was like ruben’s size 5 years ago.. maybe azlan was putting spells on me and i went up to 82kg.. now maybe he got sick on putting spells on me.. so i am 77kg now.. 😉
