Below are pics and video from our K1 Speed go-kart race & meet.

I narrowly missed getting a podium spot (4th place) :icon17: but props to Leong for winning the event and Killerbee & Phelan for placing on the podium.

We purchased a package that had a 14 lap qualifying and a 16 lap race, here is a short vid of the qualifying action:

:roflpuke2::bowrofl::roflpuke2:

Andrew, your car is looking clean! When did you get the SLs??

-Kris

Kris I got them early January. I like the color complement a bit more than the CE28s :tup:

:rolleyes:

Next time bring your Go-Pro and we will mount it near the podium.

I should have told him zoom is worthless on my camera :icon17:

We had a great time and that bento box was my lunch LOL

Nice parking job in that pic podium stealer!! :icon17:

This thread is slightly upsetting.... because I SHOULD HAVE GONE! Looks like you guys had a great time, always loved carting but I wasn't the greatest haha.

Jamaica: love the step lip. ;)

:tiphat:

thank you sir.

:tup: Sure looked like fun with good eats (and Phelan didn't even have to use his wing)!

We'll do it again in the future, just don't try to pass Jamaica or he will put you into the wall :icon17:

The wheels were on point :yum:

:icon17:

When are you actually going to make it to a meet?

gangsta!
he might even pull his gat out and bust a cap on yo a$$...drive-by beeyatch
:roflpuke2::roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

Thats just ghetto

:bowrofl::roflpuke2::bowrofl:

but :iagree:
vegas!

You should have listened to some music for that second race to wake yo azz up!!

:icon17:

i was drifting TOO much :roflpuke2:
and the tires of the karts they made us use were cold so it didnt work out too well

gotta give me props yo!
first time karting...no glasses...and still qualified first :tup:

and don't forget...my big a$$ didn't fit in those damn karts hahahhaa

Yea right! :rolleyes:

:tiphat:

I see that 12 hours of GT5 you played the night before was helpful.

:icon18::driving:

Haha, that is a good question. I have been slammed at school recently with mid terms, research papers, and business frat stuff which seems never ending.

Then he will shoot you again and again as he laps you lol.

First of all, you guys are lucky that I wasn't around! I would most certainly give you guys a good competition. I am a big time Karting fan! I wish I lived in the area. Karting is sooo much fun! :tup:

Looks like you guys had a great time. The food looks fantastic too :yum:

If anyone has a GO PRO HD, you can mount your camera like this on your helmet and get some fantastic videos:

I have done inside and outdoor karting. It's a very fun sport without breaking the bank! I do love outdoor karting because of the amount of speed you can carry. In our indoor track in Delaware, when I started, I would be lucky to break 25 seconds. Now, I'm running 22.175s trying to break into 21s to get into big karts ;) . One thing I LOVE about indoor karting is the preciseness. You have to be VERY VERY precise. You gotta have a line, know exactly where to speed and brake and take turns without giving up too much speed. Outdoor tracks are much more forgiving that indoor tracks.

Here's an outdoor video from our last event in October. I attended via a friend. I raced 32 people and finished 1st position(technically 2nd position due to "best lap" policy) ! This last run is BEST 12 driver from 3 group (top 4 drivers from each group). you'll see how competitive me and my friend (s/n alefcole) gets


One of these days I'll just show up to one of these meets :tup: .

:tup: i think its time for AK to take a trip out to cali :driving:

That's awesome AK :tup:

Are those considered shifter-carts?

awesome run AK! Nice hitting those apex :tup:

Damn AK! I was happy with my 29.775 lap time, wonder what you would've rolled? :rofl2:

No shifter karts. I would love to drive those. These are just regular karts.

lol better than 29.775 for sure! haha :owned:

One day!

:tup:

I like that hand gesture to that guy in front of you lol.

Great pics!!!!
