    Great night xj....I'm up for the next one whenever it is....as long as its not right before an exam :S That format worked quite well, but maybe a one race on one race off would be better. Slightly harder to work out, but I think in all the format was really good. Everyone got to be in a range of karts and grid positions... Good stuff
    Any tips on how to pass SPman without shuntin him into a wall somewhere?
    Queiro voya todo Europa con mi moto.... pero no tengo suficiente tiempo o dinero.....

    I could tell ya but its a trade secret Um what you don't do is try to cram 3 carts into.... Nope I wont go on about that one.
    I would like to lodge a complaint about the conspiricy to nobble my cart-pushing me into the wall at turn one. Hrumph lol

    Yeah, wait for someone to try and take him on the inside, when he goes to push them into the wall overtake on the outside.

    Or just shunt him into the wall.

    Firstly id like to say thanks XJ for an evening nothing short of awesome carnage *cough*, i mean Fun. And second up id like to protest that it wasnt fair as i had the slowest car every time and everybody else had the weight advantage!!!
    nah nah now on a more serious note it was great and my ribs are sore as expected from pure payback - i put the old man into the tyres ONCE and once only! I got put out onto the grass and dropped the kart off a ledge which broke the steering somehow, once. then got shunted into the tyres TWICE! now i never was one for fast maths or anything (which is why this post has taken the last 5 minutes for me to write) but that makes 3x the eye-for-an-eye payback i deserved? Ive been hard done by, and think i best not be invited to the next one if that nobody who i gave one of my 400's to for the night (which he undoubtly thrashed) turns up!.. Grrrr, he best check his tyre pressures before he next rides his bike.

    Anyway, great night and the father/son battling going on was great but the highlight of the night was surely the 3 abreast overtake going on out of the hairpin aiming for the next... Something gave alright, god gave TS the way and it just wasnt FAIR!!!

    Thats called doing a Ralph Schumacher (he had 2 offs on the first corner on the first lap in the last season one a DNF one he finished 5th after being dead last twice.)

    Or were you trying to do a Rossi (passing on the.....)

    ROFLMAO.

    Your problem might be trying to explain a Bhudist concept (Kharmic retribution = what you putout into the world you will get back three fold) with christain analogy (eye for an eye)

    e;fb

    I definitely prefer the Buddhist way of looking at things. It's less about retribution and more about personal responsibility.
