Yeah I don't have any experience with any of the indoor tracks around here.
All the ones I have been to were back out west in CA. Those indoor karts were gas not electric.

I didn't bump anyone either. I wanted to bump.

Masa · 04-29-2013, 10:32 PM

I bumped two people and was driving aggressive. No black flag for me either.

I was super aggressive but never got to bump anyone. I did force some 3 wide moves in T1 that probably shouldn't have worked, but did.

T1/T2 were PRIME passing opportunities. As was the long T3, because there were SO many lines for that corner!

Yep I did a lot of passing there. T1 was a little difficult to setup with the little kink before the braking zone, but still doable. More often than not I would set people up by getting a killer run off 2 then making it no contest into 3. A good pass starts on corner exit

9 and 15 worked pretty well too.

Yes, getting a run off of T2 worked amazing well.

I was originally taking T3 verrrry wide, but I started to tighten it up a bit, and it saved me some time. T1 and T2, when I nailed it, felt so good. But I was usually a little off for T1 and that usually ruined my run out of T2.

I think this was the basis for some of the frustration. Spinning and hitting the tires are potentially dangerous, but so is bumping. If you got bumped and then spun out or hit the wall, you could get a black flag. I guess that's just life, though. Some stuff gets called, some stuff doesn't. We just gotta enjoy the times it doesn't.

No more HPDE's planned for a while. Maybe in the fall.

Also, I dunno if it was with Bobo, steve, or someone else, but about Replacement/Tinted Lenses for the helmets being expensive, this is what I meant:

Accessories | HJC MOTORSPORTS $70 for the smoked one for my helmet

Probably because it's a racing helmet, and not a motorcycle helmet.
