MAZOC Karting Challenge 27 April (Sat.)

MightyBobo

Haha. TO THE GYM!

Look Chris, I know how you feel. You had the skill. You had the weight. By all rights, you should have won, probably. I'm sure you are a little upset about that because you wanted to prove it, so here I am telling you: you did well. Very well, and you should be happy with your performance. You have nothing to prove to us: you are good at karting. If you got black flagged for a fluke, well...I guess that is racing.

So for what it's worth, all that karting may prove beneficial whenever you HPDE. But don't expect to be a pro day one :-P

So by that, then a 1:03:00 is a 63 seconds correct???


It's just, I take it very personally. I'm very compeditive. And honestly, I saw you as my primary opponent. And it really chaps my azz (and not in the way shado likes his azz chapped either... )to have been cheated out of it by some stupid reason I wasn't even told. I Know you have skill which is why I was gunning for you that last race when I got behind you. I concede that your name is at the top of the last page.

I'm not expecting to be a pro at an HDPE the first time out at all. Honestly I know I will be VERY hesitant/cautious (pussy) because its in MY car, my DD, my baby, etc etc. So I will be hesitant to push... Until my comfort grows, as you well know. That's why I come to you with 50 questions all the time.

Of course you took it personally lol - I had a feeling you did when I never saw you after the race. I tried to shake hand's afterward, because I feel it is the sportsman-ly thing to do. No matter how hard a race I run, I respect ANYONE who goes out and puts their best effort, no matter how fast they go.

I knocked out a 70 average time on my first run (69.7x was the best in Group B for session 1). And then you knock out a 67 your FIRST time out compared to like, 70 as the best in your group - you think I didn't know you were going to be gunning for everyone up top?

Hell, I saw that and I KNEW you were no rookie at this, and I knew I'd be seeing you in the finale at some point. And I knew you'd be gunning for me, because I knew you felt you had something to prove: beat the MightyBobo at his own game. Sure enough I saw you that one corner before I immediately took it back (although if I remember right, we had some traffic right then that jacked us both up), and then never saw you again. I ran a tight line for that lap after I saw you, KNOWING you'd be going for any opening. I have no doubt you were all over the place behind me, just waiting for an opening, and good on you for that.

RACING is about closing those openings, never giving an opportunity. Whatever caused you to spin on turn 1, you shouldn't have. Period. You were pushing hard to pass, you found the limit, and you exceeded it. It's not a first in racing - happens all the time. Patience is one of the most amazing virtues - waiting for JUST that right moment and preparing your line, setting up a pass not one, not two, but maybe even three corners in advance.

So, here I am conceding to you: you were fastest on that track on that day. You should take nothing personally, it was a mistake. Mistakes happen in racing, and you must learn from them, else you risk repeating them. You have skill, so don't doubt yourself.

But, this old(er) dog knows some tricks, and next time I'll be coming out harder than before

I didn't see you after the race cause I figured you were set on your plans, and didn't want to distract/keep you from that. I would have congratulated you on a good race, and to be fair you were not making it easy. Yeah we did have traffic come up and that's what put a wrench in the works because I didn't expect we'd catch up to them until the following straight, and then there we were right on them.

I think we need to do this again, and soon. Not a waiting until the fall thing.

I must beat the BoBo! (Even though they pronounced it BooBoo)
