Whoever goes for the casting, please try and get some samples for me OK!!Just Googled it and got this…
Trail braking is a motorcycle riding and driving technique where the brakes are used beyond the entrance to a turn and are gradually released up to the point of apex.
In applying this technique, motorcycle riders approach turns applying both front and rear brakes to reduce speed. As they enter the turn, they partially release the brakes, as to keep only partial brakes throughout the turn. This will give more traction as the front tire is forced into the pavement.
This technique is commonly used when racing, but can enhance control and add more evasive options for street riders making it very worthwhile to learn or at least understand. Be aware that excessive trail braking can result in a loss of grip as the tire’s adhesion is split between braking and cornering forces. It will also noticeably affect the motorcycle behaviour (as in handling).

MITQuestions 1 and 2 – Mikko Nassi has written a complete guide to the Shah Alam track which tells you everything about braking, accelerating, cornering, steering etc. Take a look at http://morris-racing.com/kartingmalaysia/shah-alam-karting-track-driving-guide.php
Question 3 – Jeans are acceptable, however I would always recommend you to protect yourself with as much protective apparel as possible. If you have gloves, I strongly recommend you use them and make sure you wear sensible footwear and not slippers!
Question 4 – Refer to http://morris-racing.com/kartingmalaysia/driving_tips1.php
Hope this helps you. Have fun in your event and remember to put SAFETY at the forefront of your mind at all times.

MITI’d like to suggest a charity named “Rumah Solehah”. Although originally not a child specific charity, this organisation was originally established to provide medical, emotional and life support to single mothers who are HIV positive, who have been shunned by their families through, in most cases, no fault of their own. Over the years the charity has been able to provide excellent medical care and provided a better life for the mothers and children. As such, teh life expectancy of teh children has been increased and now many of the children require not just medical care but education! This is a new challenge which Rumah Solehah has selflessly undertaken.
Rumah Solehah (RS) began as a shelter for women suffering from HIV/AIDS in July 1998. In 2001, RS opened their doors to children who were either infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. In 2004, they won the Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah Award in the category of HIV/AIDS Care & support.
Since its inception, over 70 women have Γ’β¬ΛgraduatedΓ’β¬β’ from RS. Armed with both emotional and spiritual counselling and guidance provided by RS, many of these women who were once abandoned and ostracised by society because of HIV/AIDS have now returned to their families and communities. Others have even found decent jobs and become self-supporting. Today, RS houses 5 women and 22 children and hopes to expand their facilities to provide hospice care for those living with HIV/AIDS.
In my opinion, this charity is highly worthy of consideration – these poor children are not only suffering medically, they suffer emotionally, are isolated in a self opinionated society, become social outcasts and ultimately orphaned from their remaining loved ones.
