[quote=TheFazz][quote=Nohad]This experienced by my friend but he is a bit lucky though. My friend approached XXX brewery company for sponsorship and he was sponsored RM20,000/- worth of beer.
He has to look for a pub to take all the beer in order to exchange the beer for cash and he was lucky that a high volume pub bought the beer from him.Some companies don’t have the policy to sponsor you in cash but in kind.
[/quote]lucky he found a pub… otherwise he would be drunk silly.[/quote]..hey, I know a my-karter who owns a pub….that beer exhange programme might work out after all!!…but then again…non-halal laa…aiyah….need syariah-approved sponsorship…..
[quote=RawFlesh]Yea, Brian Fernandez….
Tell him it’s the karter from Murdoch University & we karted together with a few others from my-kart (Yusnee & Thevan Nair~Did he get to do his race training overseas?), 2 years ago.[/quote]
waah..my-kart now reuniting old friends….we should start a new service…yeah, Brian’s around, not been joining my-kart races lately but I’ve spoken to him recently…[quote=saa73]If I’m not mistaken Team MAA HPC Racing car 33) finished 5th in Class A and 16th overall, which was a truly amazing result considering on Friday we were concerned about qualifying for the race!
My-Karters formed the backbone of this team, from team manager Brian Eravelly, driver Ashraff & James Veerappen, Yusnee, Alvin, Jules, Angeline, Siak Jin, Huffiz & myself working in various pit crew roles throughout the night and morning. Also spotted on the pit wall was my-karter Steward Loke working for Cartrade, and of course Luen and Ramsey Sabelt were driving for their respective teams.
Anyway it was a great experience for me working alongside Jules on the pitwall communications to the driver. It was 11 hours on the job for me (32 hours awake overall!!) , with a 1 hour break between 6am-7am to catch some sleep and to change shoes as I got wet around 3am due to the thunderstorm! Yup, our TV monitor also got wet and that was one of the more memorable moments, with the best moment being Ashraff’s hand gesture signal around 11am that got the entire pit crew suited up and on alert, despite the fact that Ashraff only wanted to look at the engine! We were a little confused when he sped off and did respectable lap times, and deduced that there was no trouble at all!
Anyway, I’ll post some of the unofficial photos on my fotopages shortly!Well done to all My-Karters who participated in the MME, and to Brian for a job well done in getting Team MAA HPC Racing a great result![/quote]

[/quote] she embarassed a few guys did she??…i wonder who?? 🙂[quote=Nohad]Any updates for the coming event on 10 June 06?[/quote]
Yeah, Brian Eravelly sent out a note stating that the HPC event for June 10th is now open for registration. Go to http://www.hpcevents.com for details.Question now….what about the instructors from my-kart? We need to sort this out b4 June 10th. I’d like to volunteer for race control actually..that’s a cool (literally!) place to be! Brian/Yus…any feedback?
since I didn’t know what a Honda Atom was, I went on the ol Google. Aah, here’s a couple of articles on it…waah, got VTEC engine just like my City!…yes, yes, let’s bring this into Malaysia!!

[quote=sabelt][quote=des_k]Yeah man they told me that they will update their website by 19th April.. and until today nothing..
the 270cc 4 stroke carts are quite normal.. too me it feels slightly slower than the shah alam 80cc 2 stroke carts
Fazz, i was told for those under 60, weight will be added..
Now how ?? is it on this 30th ??? if yes what time ?[/quote]
no need add ballast la… just makan banana leaf cukup la..
[/quote]
banana leaf? now you’re talking!…if you need recommendations, call your friendly neighbourhood “AJK Makan”…I suggest you bring along Tom Tan, Khairul, Henzee, and yes, you too MildSeven (smoking suppresses appetite – not good) and all the K45 underweight dudes along too! heh heh[quote=OSFlanker]I think most of the junior series like Formula Ford, Formula Renault and Formula BMW are still expensive in terms of Ringgit, and the Ford & Renault brands are not strong in this region either.
Perhaps a different concept can be used, such as racing the Ariel Atoms since they use Honda engines whose parts are easily available (look at all the “standard” Civics in the MSS and MME!).
The price of the road legal Atom (in the UK) is not totally outrageous, and if brought in tax free it can be quite affordable to the series promoter.
I believe local mechanics can easily be trained to maintain it and do it’s setup (as opposed to a formula car).[/quote]
can you convert my Honda City into an Atom?….heh heh…that would be funny!…I must have been the only City out on Sepang track during the HPC event…heh heh..other places to consider….where the mini club hangs out every Wed..Centrepoint Bdr Utama…or perhaps DiKayu mamak place next to Ikea but parking may be a prob if early evening….another place to consider would be Rasta’s in Tmn Tun…either at the Coffee Hut or the Mamak next door…got big screens there…obviously all these places are around where I live so forgive the bias!…
[quote=TheFazz]Re-visiting this topic. Any ideas of a good place for members and their partners to join in?
pre-requisites of the place should be:
a. easy access
b. ample parking
c. good food & drinks
d. opens till late
e. got tv screen
f. must allow people to hang out, and not shoo us awayAlvin – how is shoru?[/quote]
I’ve hung out at Shoru with the Liverpool FC Malaysia fan club…despite being a Man Utd fan ..it’s all for my cousin’s sake…comfortable, ample parking, good TT, stewardesses next door…oops..
