Tom's Race Log
League Prize Day 6 (5/30/2009)







Features



Not nearly as sore today so I tried a pair of races, one on the Yokohama track and one on the Monza track.

The Yokohama race was another lap fest, though the slower karts were pretty good at getting out of the way. The kart's seat and pedals were perfect, but the engine was a bit off, though not much. My best lap was only a couple tenths of my best ever.

The Monza race was an adventure. Lapped everyone at least once, but they weren't as nice as on Yokohama. In fact one guy did everything he could to keep me behind despite the fact that the course worker were actually walking on to the track and hitting him with the passing flag. I finally got by him on my own. He was very angry after the race.

My lap time for this race were a bit slower than I'd hoped. I seem to have settled into a certain speed, which unfortunately is the slightly slower pace I adopted for the enduro. I guess I have to relearn how to do sprint races.
