What I REALLY want to post after said comment would result in detention after work 😯
To Quote Nascar:
Well Darryl, to be honest the Protos PizzaTurnbull Mortgage sponsored GP was really huked up at this thar race at Steamboat. We had a top 3 kart this weekend…
And the knob on the steering wheel is a Rick memory of his first car. Photos to follow….
That last photo was of PEPE my little mule. He really kicked and bucked. Then I learned how to adjust a chassis! I for the life of me cant figure out where that was.
Don’t let the other “paparazzi” photos fool you. Can you say PHOTOSHOP? And as any good lawyer would tell you: If you don’t see, it mustn’t be me! You guys creating havoc on a terlit. Have you no shame??? And yes, I had to cross my legs all Heterosexually challenged cuz Rick kept wanting to look at my package. I help Roman pick up girls at a Red Lion Inn after a CSC banquet and he’s STILL wanting me to share my mojo! I tell ya, it’s a good thing I have the aerodynamic ‘do nowadays or I’d be beatin’ em off like flies and it wouldn’t be fair to all you other guys.
Driving lessons start Sunday after the race. Check out the Deason/Fields/Jansen pits. Appointments strongly encouraged…
I checked the TTAC blog and it said #102 was getting passed by a grandma with her walker. They also said that the yellow tennis balls on the back of her walker were under scrutiny. The agony, the shame of it all!
I’ll be there, tanned and loaded for bear. Weather looks like it’ll cooperate too. And I LOVE going downhill. Nothing like that entry corner onto the main straight…
That last photo says it all:
Successful promoter and all around helluva good guy.
You my friend are a force in Karting whether you know it or not. Looking forward to the future from the sidelines with Popcorn in hand. Karting only gets better with guys like you on board.
Thanks again for putting on one helluva show. Safe, efficient, great track design, officials, etc.
Has the Hullman family approached you yet cuz you could take Indy and open wheel racing back to prominence if you wanted :bow
Simply incredible.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. I knew OF Jim Keesling via sailing when I lived and sailed in Southern California. Gang, he’s going to do the same thing in Karting and his actions are speaking louder than his words! Hitch your wagon to a rising star!
This race rocked, period. There is NOTHING that needed changing. I liked the pucker factor coming around the transformer corner onto the back straight. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FLAGGERS!!! Not once did I feel concerned about my safety due to your lack of inattention. Not once. :clap:
Next year I’ll be ready to race and I’m already counting the days and saving my pennies.
JANSEN OBSERVATIONS:
1) It was great racing against the likes of Andy Seesman, John Crow and Alan Rudolph. You got a serious gauge of how your talent measures up against the best in the nation. I never had a chance to talk to Rudolph but John & Andy are top notch guys who were open and approachable. Many of us could learn a thing or two by asking them questions and watching them drive.
2) We all have complained about the lack of media exposure and racing in the rural and remote areas where no one comes to see us race except for Greeley (and I cannot make ANY comments about thast race since I wasn’t there) THIS WAS YOUR GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY!!! We had several cameras covering us. JUMBOTRONS like at major sporting events! Announcing. And it’s going to be replayed during prime time. Pinch me, I’m dreaming!
3) I heard a few people say the entry fee was expensive and not affordable. Let me get this straight: 495 included a set of tires; It included a pail of VP fuel (a 60 dollar expense?); a test and tune (normally a 50 dollar expense); a pit pass (a 20+ dollar expense for all days covered); and 6 pit passes included in your registration (a 60 dollar expense); a 24 hour enclosed security so you could leave your kart under your tent without worrying about it being gone the next morning; Now I’m only a mortgage finance guy but if my math’s right you paid how much for entry fees? That my friends was a BARGAIN… I bet a lot of racers are pinching themselves today! 8)
4) Officiating crew and tech crew did a FANTASTIC job! They DQ’d a guy who ran away with the race because his header was cracked. That’s racing and that decision took guts. John Crow, you truly did win the race and my hat’s off to you. I look forward to racing you next year!
5) Watching people you’ve known for years yet never been able to see them race because your working on your stuff was great. I hate the fact that I HAD to spectate but watching TaG Senior was the best race of the day by far. My hat’s off to the whole class. You gave this guy something special to observe!
6) Hitting barriers hurts. I hope everyone else who did so feels okay today.
7) Freezeman (Rodney Ebersole) it was great seeing you out there in battle again. Glad you could make it, hope to see you more!
8) Spectators I’ve never seen walking through the pits and the parking lot next to the Pepsi Center was full! I think those 6 pit passes were used and used well! It was great seeing people lining the fences on the outside of the track and gathering near the JUMBOTRON!
I have to save a little over a dollar a day to race THE PEPSI CENTER next year. Jim, when’s the date? I wanna mark my calendar now. To quote Paul Tracey about the Indy 500, “this race owes me!”
Jim,
Spectators (friends) are asking the following and I don’t know the answers:
1) where do they park?
2) should they bring chairs or will there be bleachers?
3) can we bring a BBQ grill for post race and post qualifying festivities or will there be a caterer?
4) I imagine we should bring a fire extinguisher to keep the DFD happy, right?@Jim Keesling wrote:

Sounds like guns to me. I like guns. The more bullets the better. A dead offender is better than a repeat offender.
I best get off hold with Blackberry and get a life. Or get an iPhone…
da flooz doesn’t have an iPhone. It’s a toy IMO and a Blackberry is for the businessman. Crash Sandi’s got the iPhone.
Bob Varsha said that the announcing team have no say so in the direction of FOX because it has to fit a certain time limit window and include commercials. Thank God it’s over and we can go back to live racing, practice and quali on the same channel!
FYI… the iPhone application that Machette was plugging is nice. 3-D (okay, really a 2 D direction of coloured dots around the track) showing positions is a really NICE addition to the live timing sectors shown live on the official F1 website. pricey at 26.00 but for the true fans… I guess another reason to date someone with an Iphone or get one yourself!
