Easier to catch a taxi at Subang station but need to work out a bargain first before boarding. [/quote]
Alvin, I can promise you a free ride in my jalopy from Subang Jaya Station to the track on Saturday morning, 7.15 am…..provided you can confirm before my beauty sleep Friday night 2200 hrs….hehehe..!

Imagine if the crew had found the sweet set up earlier, Alex and co would have got the French men pants wet (I mean sweating…). Yup well done Alex but double the well done to the crew!
Ahoy Petronas, wakey wakey!….Saya rasa lebih baik Atok sokong Team Malaysia A1GP selain F1….
Adi is a regular at City karting and there a good chance of bumping into him on any weekeneds. In fact, he did asked about joining our k2 races but withdrew at the last minute. Just look out for a quiet unassuming person next to a kart with bike handles who would’nt let life’s misforgivings to keep him down.

…..At one point in the final I had two guys trying to overtake me (left & right!) down to the first turn. I was not going to let that happen! And Naza gave me quite a run – that move round the outside was not something I was going to allow him to pull off! lol[/quote]
That 3 way dogfight around turn 1 was top class entertainment for spectators otherwise seen in F1 starts. Indeed it was wishful thinking for that guy trying the outside line..kah kah kah !Rd 3 was no different than previous rounds with respect to kart conditions…..totally unpredictable. You can win one round and lose the next. There were at least four or five k2 drivers who had to retire due to mechanical problems….problems that were avoidable…pity!
However, out of the many problems, I thought chains ‘putus’and ‘brakes tak makan’ or sprocket ‘dah habis gigi’ are the three common occurances that can easily be detected and rectified. All of these components are fast running items of wear and tear and more so if they are rented racing karts. What this means was that citykarting did not do sufficient tests or checks on the karts prior to mykart’s raceday. Drive chains (like your car drive belts) should be replaced after so many hours. Sprockets have teeth which can be seen with the eye whether its ok or not. Brakes, my god!, citykarting should have tested it before raceday at the very least.
Granted these are rental karts, but the components above need to be checked and replaced anyway sometime…and all we need is citykarting to give mykart, a very good long term client, a little bit of premium treatment and check the 3 items before raceday. Yes, I would have given Fazz a better run to the finish in the finals, if kart 27 had some decent brakes …..hehehe!
My concern is that, too frequent of these avoidable mechanical failures could lead to more feelings of frustration from members and make them lose interest….hopefully not.
I suggest the Technical Director’s team (who?)to meet up with citykarting on an agreed date to discuss this issue.
Hidup my-kart!
Jules / Kaaz38,
A little diversion guys,
Where can we buy this MRF tyres please…..someone said that it is made in India?
Cheers.
[quote=Iskandar Zulkarnain]……..I think after graduation and a job, I’ll get busy with my-kart for real, maybe make little “iskirina” quick so i can spoon-feed her towards karting early. I’m gonna make a baaadddd father;)[/quote]
Iskandar the Great has spoken….!do make many Iskirinas please…LOL!..(gurau aje!)
That incident or accident is a classic overtaking situation that will be a subject of argument till the cows come home as to who is the guilty party.
Its illegal if Alex insisted to carry through the passing move when he is not fully parallel and knew that its a very very slim chance of success. It is also illegal for Jos to close the gap if he clearly saw Alex’s car front wheel by his side.
However, if Alex decided to continue the ‘illegal’ passing (he could have held back) and Jos did the closing the gap move (he could had let Alex thru) as described above and they consequently ‘touched’, it can be considered as a risk deliberately taken by both drivers who must have anticipated with full awareness it’s consequences…..where both or either driver could be the bigger loser depending on the dynamics of the incident. This was why many similar incidents in the pass was accepted as just an unlucky racing incident and treated as close…..or just : “ah well, sorry, better luck next time mate!
As racers ourselves, I am sure we have been faced with similar situation on numerous occasions. In most cases, we would have passed our friends cleanly without touching and thats because that friend decided to “make way” for us to execute the pass. Well, if he does’nt, very likely, both or either driver would be spinning like a top (hopefully not this bad!). Have you experienced this sort of incident before?….sure you have!
…my 2 sen opinion.
[quote=ed][quote=alvinkhorfire]Hopefully, once Team Malaysia gain enough expertise and financial resources, we can see Alex standing on podium.[/quote]
Did you see how Alex had to scramble down from the podium to get the Jalur Gemilang (seeing the other 2 drivers standing on the podium wrapped with their nation’s flag)?
Bet the M’sian team will have the flag on the ready from now on![/quote]Ed, did you notice that Alex and Team did their best performances in Sepang and now in Sentul. Well, its because they can get their supply of nasi lomak easily in these places…..sure you did’nt have a hand in this?….(grin)
It’s good for Alex and Malaysia. That podium finish has caused many critics to sit up and eat their words.
[quote=ed]Yusnee gave a round-around solution to the problem.
If you really cannot (and need to) read the missing text, click on “quote” and read from there![/quote]Yes that’s what I did but using firefox is much more convenient…try it.
