Let me guess the context of your google search for THAT one.

OK here’s my first attempt with my new avatar. It may be under review by the censors

the “hot shot” teenager they are referring to is me, Nick Burton. In the main yesterday i came up on somebody a lot faster than i had expected adn i ended up driving over the top of him. My kart kept running and i kept driving. after that incident i kept my driving clean although you may believe i punted someone on the last turn with a few laps to go…the reason he over drove the corner was because he was trying to look back after i had bumped him going down the straight away, when he looked back he went straight instead of turning. I apologized to the driver i ran over after the race and i dont want anyone thinkiong i am a dirty driver because thats reall not the way i drive. I apologize for my actions and i will try to make sureit doesnt happen again. I want all of my competitors feeling safe when im racing with them.

Nick, I didn’t mean for my post to turn into a public lynching or public review of your passing techniques. I am kinda new to this game and I think I was a bit shaken after watching the incident. I know that ‘racing incidents’ DO happen…this isn’t ping pong and we all know the potential for injury and bent parts. If it wasn’t a little bit dangerous, none of us would be out there with big giant grins that we get from the perceived risk.

I, however, can’t cut it in your class right now. Your accident was cited in my post as supporting evidence for why I need to move; and Yes, I understand the potential for the same exact thing to occur when racing with the old fat guys, but at least the aggression might be turned down a notch or two at the back of the pack where I’ll be.

He was the one in the weeds all day. There was more carnage in the masters than the teenager class.

Thanks Doug! I was in the weeds because I lost a bolt holding my master cylinder to the frame. I thought pulling off was better than heroically trying to finish the race with no brakes.

I’ll point you back to #’s 1 and 2 of my original post as to why I am moving to masters. #3 was just the capper and helped make my decision easier.

LOL, Or could you say you are ready to be rammed and climbed on by a man? 😛

I don’t care who you are, THAT was funny.

ugggh..looks like we will pay a heavy ‘mud-penalty’ for any off track expeditions on sunday.

I’ll bet an enterprising teen could make a few bucks with a hot-water pressure washer…or should that be a job for the Hooters gals? Then they could have soap fights and sponge fights in slow motion…sorry, errrr, ahem, what was I saying? Oh yeah, do your SUN DANCE!

Jim or whoever…….In what order will the classes be run in? Any idea?

Per the first post in this thread:

Rotation posted Sunday morning on official notice board.

[Kirk Deason]

Actually I may ask him to drive mine for a few laps so i can see what the KART is capable of and how far the Dominator Driver has to go to reach ‘par’. Once he smashes my fast-lap by 4 seconds, I’ll then start screaming that I need front brakes..that HAS to be the reason I’m slow! 😥

I know he’s good. Never met him though.

I’ve still got about 20lbs of Centennial mud to clean off the kart from the last geo-sampling mission. I’m psyched.

[Kirk Deason]

Dustin and I are coming out to rub wheels with ya Kirk….get ready

Pssshaw…you better bring your A-Game, I’ll be rocking the DOMINATOR. Sunday, right? That will be a blast.

For those who don’t know, I am driving Chuck’s old Easykart. And now I’m going to embarrass him in his new slotax kart. :cheers:

Eduardo, are you and the rest of the International Brokers team coming out to practice on Sunday?

If not..perhaps you are afraid of my DOMINATOR kart? I had a great time racing with your team last time out.

Kirk

(can you guys tell this is a slow day at work?)

[Kirk Deason]

phew..thanks for the clarification. I’ll still be running on cords with THE DOMINATOR in an effort to embarrass the Motori guys. OK, so I’ll be happy with beating ONE person this year in Seniors.

There was a new Easykart at the track a couple weeks ago, I think I can beat that guy…even on old tires.

[Kirk Deason]

HOLY CRAP! I thought they were about 100 bucks cheaper than that! wow…maybe I’ll be racing on old tires longer than I thought.

[Kirk Deason]

And we need to get you in a Tag that is not so “Easy” but maybe competitive. A new 4-stroke? Come ride Romans Motori? Spin a Tax? a water cooled “Easy”? You’ve such a skinny little butt, but we can pad you into something that’ll fit. Heal the wing and come try a few new things this year. After all, you have the most beautiful crew of anyone (I’ve met your daughter, it doesn’t get any better) You’ll have so much fun this year regardless.

Thanks, Rick! My crew chief will be with me again this sunday (57 degrees!!)at the Track. I asked her last night before bed if she wanted to go to the racetrack on Sunday..her eyes lit up “I LOVE going to the racetrack, daddy!” Hearing things like that can make a crappy day at work just disappear. I’m a happy dad.

Now as for the Easy, I’m going to rename it THE DOMINATOR. So far, the equipment is not my problem. Last year I was learning the basics of maintenance, prep and buying the necessary gear to have a succesful day at the track. Some people pick it up right away and know what to change on the kart to fix any handling problems. I, however, am just now learning what a lap should feel like and this summer I will begin changing the setup to improve handling. It took me longer than most to get my a$$ calibrated to the speeds. A couple weeks ago (last warm spell) it felt like things were beginning to click and I could tell in at least two specific corners that I needed less rear grip to get the kart to turn. (last year I was oblivious to such things and was blinded by my huge grin)

I would LOVE to drive one of the new 4-strokes, if anyone is offering. That class will probably be my upgrade path in the next year or two, provided I ever get last year paid off, hahah.

I imagine I’ll be seeing a lot of karters out practising on Sunday, will you and Roman be at the Track?

[Kirk Deason]

Nice pic, newguy. I’m jealous. I need an avatar now, this will take time. Bhole is really on another level, he has advanced the game.

[Kirk Deason]

Make sure doug sells you a few hundred ice-screws for the tires, too. Think the snow will be gone?
