Indoor Karting -Henderson

[FROSTY]

Indoor karting at its best . come down and strut your stuff
the last time it was a total blast with 20 rabid KBers fighting it out to win the trophy and win some races.
The action was fast and furious with a couple of close calls .
With 18 corners and evenly matched karts the better driver wins.
The venue is Auckland Raceway
which is at the end of The Concourse henderson
turn away from henderson at the lincoln rd offramp
Cost per person will be maximum $45 each
For that money you will get a practice and 5 races
Its about 1.5 hours but youll be pretty tired afterwards.

The track has been changed recently and theres a couple of tricky new corners there to catch new players unawares.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Make it before the 2nd of March

[bugjuice]

hell yeah, I'm up for that. Put me down. That I'm up. So put that down.
Was wondering if things like this happened.. being all about 2 wheels n all

[Wonko]

In with a grin. 2 March sounds good to me

[jrandom]

You think I'm getting on a kart track at the same time as YOU, Frosty? Not unless I'm driving a bloody HMMWV.

If you buy that MTB in time and work hard, maybe... just maybe, you might loose the love handles, enough to slide into one of them miniature 4 wheeled contraptions. Common big guy you can do it! :niceone:

use that as the inspiration to go faster! If you're in front of him, then you'll beat him.. If you let him catch up, then he could pound you into the side.. so don't let him do that. But you can't get ahead of me. period.

[Posh Tourer :P]

No, no, BEFORE the 2nd. If it is the night of the 2nd, thats too late.....

[Motoracer]

Ha! Gotta catch me first!

I'll see if I can afford to come. It was good fun the last time round.

[bugjuice]

[Two Smoker]

Im a good honest driver.... but i have a problem of being slow.....

AND they have to derestrict the karts this time, i dont want to feel like i can get out and walk faster.... I mean when it is restricted, there isnt one place you have to brake for....

[curious george]

[Devil]

[Yokai]

Im thinking its about time we had another Kart challenge.
It will be held at Auckland raceway at 7.30 on a wendsday night soon.
Ive just gotta call and confirm dates
Its the most fun ya can have on 4 wheels
Mind you KK and Two smoke --this time--Im gonna have the inside line

NOOOOOooooooo - I LOVE Karting but Wednesday is Date Night... Man.... Let me know instantly when it is, cos I might be able to adjust date night.

[loosebruce]

I'll be keen for that providing it's after the 26th, so i be all recovered from the op, thats the place next to the m/way right, looks cool with the outside section, haven't been there before. How much?

[bugjuice]

I went to that track once, after it'd been raining. it was drying up, but still wet patches outside.. they opened the doors and extended the track. About 10 of us flying around in the wet!! was wicked. I copped a head on smack tho, I was coming round the hairpin just after you come back in from outside, and some other guy was racing in, then braked instead of power. Slid head on thru the tyres and into me and 2 others behind. Huge pile up.. Lets do that!!! we can get the hose outside, and wet it up a bit..

[FROSTY]

details are up on the header post now ---first come first served --and I need definites not --aww I might make it.

[bugjuice]

aww I definately will make it

[Posh Tourer :P]

Damnit!

The day AFTER I leave......:angry2:

[MadDuck]

The last one was such cool fun...umm I got the same prize for coming last as the bloke got for coming first. Sometimes life is fair!

I am keen to tag along - BUT watch out I have gotten better at this than last time

[FROSTY]

I would just like to warn everybody that in our Ambo challenge we had ther a few weeks ago I got fastest lap overall... SO.. bring it on Mo' Fo's
all I can say bro is --BRING IT ON --ohh and if ya aint pullin sub 50s ---ya might as well sit in the pits -ohh and thats FULL track -all 19 corners of it
I made it a thursday so the skint bruvvers can scrape up the coin to come along.

[Two Smoker]

sorry guys, looks like i am poor for the next 6 months.... so cant do anything like this...

[FROSTY]

yep was 46 point somthing seconds for full course (outside and under the power lines)

The skint bruvvers can save their pennies from the thursday before if they really want to go. why do they get priority over the non skint bruvvers. and the bruvvers wot are going OS??
NZ First.. goo winston.. oh wait.. wrong forum..count me out again Tony.. unless the night changes
sheesh ya aint been there in awhile have ya ?--3 new corners
it adds at least 4 seconds to the lap times

[Posh Tourer :P]

OYYY PT--i made it the bloody date you wanted


Make it before the 2nd of March



No, no, BEFORE the 2nd. If it is the night of the 2nd, thats too late.....


Methinks you need some glasses.... :Pokey:

[Two Smoker]

I got ferry tickets for you dude if that makes a differnce.

Cheers for the offer, but i still cant make the night as i really need the $$$

[Posh Tourer :P]

So you want us to change the rally so you can come, but wont change the kart thing by 2 days for PT sake and SM RR etc????
You change kart day and I'll vote to change the rally date.

[jrandom]

Just drive trouserless. I'm sure the staff won't mind cleaning the kart after you're done.

[Dodgyiti]

I will come along and support [ read; constant stream of verbal abuse]
but am far too gammy for racing yet.
The last time our car club did the racing it was raining, bloody neat fun as the inside gets wet as the karts drag the water from outside into the dry.
Slip sliding away!

[loosebruce]

I go in tomorrow to get my cast and op done so thats all good, but wouldn't ya know it, my work has gone and sorted a confernce (sp) thing down in rotovegas and don't get back till wedensday, so thats me out. Although i'm trying to weasel my way outta it, but it aint looking good :weep:

[Devil]

[Joni]

[FROSTY]

[Two Smoker]

[FROSTY]

Looks like work have shuffled things around.. on an 8 to 8 tomorrow now instead of 6 to 6.. so 8 pm finish means i will totally late. Im at Mt Well so expect 830 at Henderson.. Will this be an issue?
Given racing starts at 7.30 yep its an issue.

[Devil]

Looks like it'll have to be another time, as you said.

[bugjuice]

so far i see 3 confirmed--who else is a definite

[FROSTY]

[Milky]

I will be there to make up numbers ;) Pity things have fallen apart after all the interest when this was first mooted...

[Posh Tourer :P]

Well, this was awesome, despite the slight lack of people.... I think we got 9 people, after I arrived slightly late, having run dead out of petrol 3km up the motorway, using "Maori reserve" and then filling up at Rosebank Rd.... Ran up, paid and got straight in. Well, the first 2 races were a bit rough, a few bashes and crashes and a spin. Nothing too major in losing time though...... Well, the third race was good, tho frosty cut me off at the start, and again coming onto the bridge, getting the front end up, then waggled HIS finger at ME!. Nice man that he is though, he spun at the last tight corner, and I got past, but not before he'd crashed into me *again* as I went past.....

The 4th? an absolute shocker.....
The cart died twice going round right handers, losing me a lot of time. I also crashed twice, losing me more time. However, I put in some mighty fast laps, as the cart ran well when it ran, and I had empty track by that stage.
The 5th and last race was just awesome.... after a pileup at the start, me and frosty flew past, and I followed him for a few laps, learning the lines and getting the speed down pat. Then, a lovely pass up the inside coming onto the front straight, at which point he tried to run me into the tyres (again)... I got past though, which had me sweating for a while with the man himself behind me. Luckily I managed to dive down under brakes at the hairpin, and take Milky.... luckily Frosty didnt make it past, so I had a relatively easy run to the finish..... Awesome race and a great one to finish on.....

[FROSTY]

A bloody good evenings fun,
as for race results -What happens at the track stays at the track says I
Ill post em if people want to
Let me just say one thing --Hey Bugjuice :shake: --hehehehehehe

[bugjuice]

Let me just say one thing --Hey Bugjuice :shake: --hehehehehehe
yeah? bite me.. I demand a rematch as soon as my ribs/back/neck/elbow heal. :ar15:

In all the times I've been racing there, I have never been involved in such and so many horrific crashes! I'd name them, but there were so many. 3 of the worst would be
1) Swanny putting me into the dirt outside on a right hander (I so had that line, and you put me out and made me fly!) :angry2:
2) Going flat out then all of a sudden finding Devils kart side on and stopped with others on the other side of him. ouch. :gob:
3) Loosing the back going round the new corners, then to see 2 people pile into the side of me.. :buggerd:
1 & 2 was the back injury, and 3 was the ribs, with a few more crashes to boot..

With plenty more crashes, and could give a few reasons why my results were so crap, but who's going to listen? Mostly down to traffic. Everyone drove really well (despite some pile ups) and passing on that track is tricky at the best of times, so it doesn't help when people race well, so well done guys.
Now I have go nurse whiplash, some strange lump that's appeared on my back/spin (being serious, might have to get it checked), and very very sore ribs. Good fun, just some recovery time now.. :doctor:

Anyway, here's a couple of pics of the night, courtesy of my camera and Papz who was too chicken to race. I'll have you next time Frosty, I wasn't that far off the pace, just wasn't my night.. :baby:

What can i8 say young fella --Ohh yea--the bullshit sytops when the flag drops

[bugjuice]

I've just got back from Taka ER where they xrayed my spin for fractures. They reckon I've damaged the bone and cartilage that holds the ribs onto me spin.. fukin hurts whatever I've done. Signed me off work, and told me not to ride :weep: thanx guys..

Wait til I get better, then we can go again.. :yeah:

[Storm]

Time for the No Fear slogan then:
Bones heal, chicks dig scars and glory is forever :apint:
Nice to see you putting your body on the line

[bugjuice]

when it's something that's as important as a chocolate race car, everything goes..
oh, and to wipe that smug grin off Frosty's face..

[FROSTY]

I told ya and told ya to pad yaself up --ya think I had that fancy padded seat for no reason?

[FROSTY]

I sorta thought ya might get the hint by how the locals all know me.
mate actually being serious (honestly) I was just playing around
I diddn't even do a sub 40 lap all night
