Thanks patrick (nohad) and sam (7:40) for the comprehensive report. I envy the fun you guys had. Sounds like a great day.
Love the team names, except for USJ (could be more creative huh?). HuruHara and Melvin’s Slow n Curious are quite cool.
Thanks to Sam for organising the thing. Glad that it turned out a fair success.
[quote=sevenforty]But the earlier incident in Women’s qualifying was far more serious. Kong Mun Yee of Sanofi-Aventis was hit from behind and thrown of her kart. She landed hard on the track. She was promptly put into the ambulance and immediately rushed to SJMC. This forced the withdrawal of Team Sanofi-Aventis from the Women’s final and Team Endurance involving ten drivers. All the while after the incident, her team mates kept me posted. I very much wanted to visit her but had to oversee the event. My partner visited her and confirmed that she had fractured her collarbone, lacerations on her face, injuries to her hip but what was worst was the injury to her L4 which would keep her hospitalised for a month.[/quote]
Ms Kong’s incident disturbed me though. As karting organisers we cannot afford this sort of things happening. I wish her a swift recovery.
On our part, what else could we have done better? I once had an incident in my former company’s sports club (well two, if you include my own incident *wink*) which involved a female staff. She was out of action for i think 2 weeks, and wasn’t too pleased after that. Since then, we had to make sure that we were comfortable with the capabilities of the respective drivers. And we insisted on the pre-race safety briefing. Sam – happy to discuss further on this subject to collectively improve / reduce risks of incidents in future events.
[quote=Nohad]btw, how’s the girl with the fractured collar bone? Any other major injury? She’s from which company?[/quote]
what happened to her? any learnings?
azzura68 – why don’t you try karting yourself first? useful to get a feel and understanding before getting your kid in one. and do try out the yellow two seater with your son.
[quote=Huffiz]totally agree! EA sports F1 2002 (PC-based) is the most accurate simulation game ever.
played for 3 years before started karting. proven results.
even F1 drivers practices on simulation games[/quote]LOL! Huffiz reveals his secrets! 🙂

[/quote]am afraid i will not be able to race. will only be back from my residential course on sunday 13th afternoon. but pls go ahead. besides, my luck not so good this year so you’d probably do better. 🙂
[quote=naza]Morning unlikely but after 2 pm can. Hopefully, more mykarters will turn up to enjoy the PLUS Speedway curves…nice!
Btw, the future enduros can alternate between Sepang or PLUS Speedway using KartQuest’s 100 cc karts.[/quote]
I’ll have to skip the 5th as I will still be away. 🙁 would also like to try the funkarts on the plus speedway.
as for kartquest and our future enduros… certainly we shall alternate at these two tracks.
[quote=alvinkhorfire]Okay, thanks to all. Besides the corners Nohad mentioned that require heavy braking, the rest I will try to take with as minimum brake as possilble.[/quote]
alvin – good luck with the practice. as mentioned to you the other day, the best form of practice is an actual race environment.
i am not sure whether kartquest is taking over, but I am told that they would like to organise racing there. i’ve heard all sorts of stories about who is operating the USJ/elite track… but as far as I know it is not kartquest.
then again, i may be spectacularly wrong.
[quote=alvinkhorfire]1. One of the problem is that I can’t found any reference point at the track. At other track for example, we can use pole, marshal post as reference point for braking and turning. At Shah Alam track, we can’t see any of these. So, how do you all find your reference points?[/quote]
alvin – i suggest you look for small markers such as the kerbs, bumps / tyre marks on the track etc. use these markers as relative reference points. you may go on basis of 10m before or after a particular bump on the track.
once again. practice.
[quote=alvinkhorfire]4. Do you know any budget accomodation maybe near Puduraya or Shah Alam Track?[/quote]
not sure. perhaps someone else can help. but btw, how often do you plan to be in the klang valley? are you moving down? what is your occupation right now?
