I was at Pole Postition in Las Vegas over the holiday. Its an indoor facility and it has a few NICE straightaways and it was fun. Hope they have the space to do it right…
Curt,
I have a Tube TV 32″ that would fit the bill just fine. Sure, it’s not a Flat Screen but it’s nice and I have the remote.
Whaddya think?
Welcome.
We’ve got a karter’s dream in tracks available to race and a lot of good eggs to race against. In the pits it’s all good and we’ll help you get your rig on the track vs. sitting on the sidelines watching. Good Cameraderie off the track and a very competitive attitude once the visor goes down. Looking forward to seeing you and everyone else once the weather warms up.Cheers,
Shave your head, it keeps them away and your life less complicated.
Told the same thing to Tiger last year but he (obviously) didn’t listen.Rick: That’s why you put the monitor on it’s side. Creative thinking out of the box amigo!
Curt: It’s called photojournalism. I got two shots for the price of one!
😀
Will this work as a peace offering?
Didn’t want to show any photos of Rick’s Chippendale guyz so this’ll havta do…Heck, I did that this morning heading off to the gym. You should have seen my 180 Degree parallel parking job… 😀
Rick always does a good job and I would highly recommend him and his boys.
That said, the “minor” issue was the fact that Rick drove it and he left some of his Chippendale’s literature in the passengers seat, wasn’t it? Since the SuperNats the RIO says they no longer have the Chippendale posters that (used) to line the corredor of the convention center. But hey, if that’s the only issue you have with a car repair from Rick then all’s good.
Isn’t it Rick? 8)

Good job on your post Mike. It is always good watch and learn from the best, we should take note on what a good job SKUSA does. This is what we can expect to see in our region. You all should make it down there next year, I don’t know how it could be any better but knowing Tom he will do all he can to try. I got to see alot of friends that I have made throughout my years in karting and made a few new ones, it was great.
SKUSA didn’t do a good job…
They did a FANTASTIC job. I heard a lot of complaining all year long about the track and the danger of the high barrriers and the street canyon feel to it. SKUSA said nothing about it they let their actions speak louder than their words and made a track where you could see past the corners (due to lower barriers) and a track that was relatively safe IMO. The track flowed and worked. Hopefully they’ll do the same here in Colorado!
Nice avatar Jay. Who’s the guy next to you in british racing green? 8)
if you go you have to watch the distance from apex (inside) to the line. The difference between greatness vs. average is about 12-24″. Then, look at the hands and see a deflection of 2″ and commit to that amount of feedback, there isn’t ANY correctoin from that point on. Again, the braking is the primary thing you’ll notice. VIOLENT braking at the Nth degree with a 1 foot margin of error. You honestly have to see it to appreciate it.
Photos done tomorrow, I’ll get them posted as quikly as I can.
If you’ve ever seen the movie RIDING GIANTS about surfing and they interview Pat Curren about Laird Hamilton’s epic ride on TeaPuh that was on the cover of SURFER magazine. Anyway Curren says with A LOT OF HUMILITY, “even in my best, i couldn’t pull that off.” That is exactly how I felt when I watched some of them come around certain corners.
Y’all have a great night.
