Damn guys, jostling around and battling for position is half the fun! I know we're racing for lap times, but part of my goal is to GET AROUND YOUR SLOW ASS! It's even more fun to me if you're not that slow and I still manage to get around you.
I'll play by the rules if I have to. :-(
BTW, Welcome to the board Wes, I know you've been lurking! |

This is Jim E's friend Wes, aka Kenneth (since I signed the waiver using my first name).
I had a blast, and it was nice meeting you all. I'm like Jim, I'm feeling one of the hits that I took today (go Advil), but it is understandable with the tracks there. I think a lot of it was just unavoidable on some of the tight turns and with all of us taking (and learning) different lines through them.
I think one of the things I did notice goes to point 4 of Rob's post, is that if you are going slower and know someone is behind you, and you are not trying to be super-competitive, is to allow room for the person to pass (i.e., don't drive center of straights, maybe take a wider turn, etc.). I think the difficulty of passing is probably what led to people taking a more aggressive approach, especially if they were sitting behind the same person for over a lap.
I know on the last race I had to stop and buckle my seat belt again, and by doing so I pretty much had open road afterwords. So I think maybe avoiding the gran prix starts may help in avoiding the congestion (which is something someone mentioned in the other thread). In addition, I think going over the set of guidelines that Rob listed will help.
Anyway, I had lots of fun and hope to see you all again there, and hopefully the others will return to give it another try. |

I think we should take a lesson learned from this, because this may be a common thing with a percentage of "new blood". I don't think we can rely on TBC to actually implement anything too customized for us. They're all 16-18 years old and we'll probably get new workers every time. We should send out a set of our own informal self enforced rules before the event. I recommend the following as a start...
1) First rule is to have fun. This isn't F1, so don't take too serious, but do take serious enough because of safety concerns and it is a competitive event.
2) Intentional contact is not permitted.
3) Blocking is not permitted, although defensive racing is. Defensive racing, for example, is entering a corner on the inside to prevent following racers from passing you on the inside. Blocking is swerving back and forth thus preventing someone from passing you.
4) Results are based on fastest lap time, not final finishing position. Therefore, there's no need really for head to head competition. If someone is obviously faster, then it will be mutually beneficial to let them by so you can drive the optimal line for time. Also, following a faster driver will be educational.
5) About the only situations for passing are on straight a ways or braking into a corner. Any other passing attempts will probably just create unnecessary bumping.
6) These are fast Go Karts. They aren't kid toys. There is the potential for injury with kart to kart or kart to wall contact. Everyone will be sore the next day!
7) Race your ass off! Best lap time wins.

"New Blood". Interesting choice of words, Bob. I'm afraid I might have beat up on Jennie a little too, but her minivan kept getting in my way! It wasn't intentional, it was incidental. She's an amazingly good sport. |

Hey all.
Pdf and gif format scans of the data sheets are now up at http://www.strahan.org/FCA/carting/ along with a points standing/results file. Just in case anyone wanted it.
As to the other issue, we can just drop it. I don't really think further discussion will change anything.
So, let's look forward to the next one! |

I had a throttle problem in the first race (it stuck on FULL juice) and I rear-ended somebody, not severely but it was a pretty good bump entering the long course hairpin. Not sure if it was Jenny, Tamara or Linda but it was one of them.
Minor and often unintentional bumping seems about the only way to get around some of the slower drivers. Sorry we lost a few but maybe we can pick up some new blood elsewhere.

Like I said, I was beating up on my wife's cart quite a bit and she wasn't complaining. I wasn't doing that to anyone else. As for Alex, I only had clean light contact with anyone to that point. He made a bone head move by leaving his driving line and cutting me off. #1 - That's called blocking and will get you black flagged in racing. It's not legal for competitive and safety reasons. (Although I don't expect everyone out there to be versed in racing rules, I think it's appropriate here because that person is doing the finger pointing). #2 - Alex was running 3-5 seconds a lap slower than all the front runners, nothing wrong with that either, but I think his mood was motivated by being passed a few times a lap by most the field. #3 - Kart racing isn't a video game, it's real life racing that has some risks. No reason to have unreasonable risks, but why do you think we have that safety equipment, pre-video, lecture, and sign a release waiver. If you accept the risk, then have fun racing, if not, no big deal, watch from the sidelines.
I agree with Jim, why do you think the course boundary is made of rubber and why are there bump shields all the way around the kart. What fun would it be without clean aggressive driving.
I don't have any hard feelings towards anyone. If I do something wrong or make a mistake, I'll be the first to admit it and apologize in person. This happens all the time in club racing and they're usually expensive mistakes. However, I didn't do anything wrong last night that I know of, so no apologies from here. If you don't agree, make your case and we'll maturely talk about it or stop the whining.  |

As I said, I don't have all the information and I don't know who did what to whom except for what I'm told. I'm also not trying to umpire anything here. I'm just bringing it up for conversation, because it bothered me that some people didn't have a good time at the event I organized. It's just feedback -- how do we make this better.
Please understand that my friends aren't whining, they just were telling me their experiences and explaining to me why they wouldn't be back. Whenever _anyone_ has issues with something I'm responsible for, I try to see if the issue can be corrected. If it turns out that it can't be corrected, or doesn't need to be corrected, then that's the end of it as far as I'm concerned. That's just the way I operate.

Isn't Alex the one that got stuck under the railing on the short course? That happened when he ran into Jennie from behind and he nearly took me out in the spin as I was behind him. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Maybe some of us are just more competitive than others, but it does get frustrating when you're faster than someone ahead of you and you can't get around them because the track is so tight. I try not to knock anyone out of the way, but I'm also going to get around you. My back is sore as hell today from getting pushed into the wall at full speed by one of you yo-yo's. But I'll be back!
Sorry we alienated your friends Tillman, thanks again for setting it all up. |

Well that is unfortunate that they don't want to come back. It was nice to have them there.
I did see somebody's car actually come off the ground and I thought it was going to roll..(one of the girls), not sure how it happened as I just saw them with their left rear up in the air. Anyway, the track is tight so it is hard to get around people no matter who you are.
As for the compeitiveness of it all...It is a race, we are men and some of us are sucessful and you dont' get that way by being a pushover. Now running over girls in a gocart.....we should be caned! |

Greetings.
1st, thanks to everyone for coming out. Like most others, I too had a good time and am looking forward to the series as a whole.
Here's the results, and the points standings (if we were counting the points, which we didn't this round). The points standings are based on F1 style points, with the first two heat race values being 1/2 of the normal points. Why? Because I can I'll scan the sheets soon and get them up on a website. I'm supposed to get some pictures from TBC also.
First Heat:
Name Points
Rob 5
Bob 3
Jim S 2
Jim E 1.5
Kenneth(?) 1
Chris .5
Second Heat:
Name Points
Jim S 5
Kenneth 3
Rob 2
Bob 1.5
Linda 1
Jim E .5
Main Event:
Name Points
Rob 10
Bob 6
Jim E 4
Jim S 3
Kenneth 2
Chris 1
Point Standings:
Name Points
Rob 17
Bob 11
Jim S 10
Jim E 6
Kenneth 6
Chris 1.5
Linda 1
Tillman 0
Tamara 0
Alex 0
Jennie 0
All in all, this was a sucessful event, and I think the series will be fun. Six weeks out places the next race on Oct 1, 2002. Is that cool for everyone? Also, any input on the points will be considered.
There is a point I need to bring up. I apologize for doing so on this forum, but I wasn't aware of the issue at a time when I could do this face-to-face.
Tamara will not be returning to one of these events, and it's unlikely that Alex or Linda will either. The problem that they had is that they were actually physically hurt by some of the driving by other members at the race. I'm not going to name any names, because I don't have all the information and because it involves multiple people. However, they each (individually) came up to me after the races to discuss it.
I understand that "rubbin' is racin'" and incidential contact is going to happen out there -- that's just part of it. There's a difference, though, between incidental contact and repeatedly beating on someone you can't pass cleanly, or deliberately running someone into the tirewall. There's a sign that says no bumping, and while it's mainly observed in the breach, there's still a lot of sense in this.
I know there's two sides to this, and I'm trying to not take one. But here's my thoughts: we need this event to grow to make it stable. We can't grow the event if we scare the newbies off. I know we're racing for position, and that some of us are _serious_ about this, but it is supposed to be fun for everyone. I'm not sure how to make that happen. Does anyone have any suggestion? I'm open to all opinions on this, including "shut up and race!" ($1 to Eddie Gossage)
In any case, we're still on for next time. Does Oct 1 sound good? |

I don't mind "rubbing" as long as it works both ways. Now T-boning somebody in a tight turn is probably not good, but being competitive is fine.
Oh yeah, thanks Tillman. |

yeah, you have to watch that Bob, he's really shady with burn outs and the like. ;)
thanks Tillman! this is going to become a great series. we can talk more about it here, but after you left a general consensus was doing this maybe every 6 weeks. 4 weeks seemed too close for some and 8 weeks too long. Of course we can adjust as we go.
Was your friend Alex upset with me? I think he made a few jesters my way. I think I drove clean all 3 races except for about a dozen incidents with my wife and maybe one with Alex. Bob and I were racing for the lead and lapping Alex he cut me off, so I put him in the wall next lap. Rubbing is racing. ;) I'll tone it down a little if people think I should. I believe most of my contact was clean as I would just rub people on the sides a little as I cut in late braking. It should be fun, so I don't want people getting mad. |

Single story garage is attached to building, come in through side door. It is basically the old loading dock for the warehouse. Races are inside. It is hot out so you might prefer to park in the garage unless you want to show off out front. |

So where are we parking the F-cars.... in or out? I guess I'll know more about this in a few hours but is the indoor garage part of the building where the racing takes place or just a covered multi-floored garage out back somewhere???
Does the racing or the drinking begin at 7:00? Do I need to get there a bit earlier to partake in both???

I've formulated a procedure to circumvent Robs aggressive driving behavior. He won't spin me in a tight turn again!
Bob, the track is on the West side of Stemmons. I'm not too concerned about drinking and racing, it's the drinking and racing HOME that might be interesting! |

The Ferrari will make an appearance, all 8 working, but minus A/C.
I warned Greg that I would Gentellozi him, for those that don't know Paul, he won the Trans Am championship last year and is famous for the saying "Move or be moved!". JimE knows what I'm talking about and sounds like the other Jim knows how to implement the same technique.
First round on me! Nothing like drinking and racing. |

coming south on stemmons, exit regal row. It is on the service road on the right thru the light. Turn right on Viceroy and circle around back to garage if you wish to park inside or park out front. BIG parking lot so should be able to do whichever you please. |

Hey Guys...
I am not able to make it after all. I have been having major car problems while on vacation in NC and the repairs were going to cost more than the trade value of the car, so I bought another car (not a Ferrari ). I can't pick it up from the dealer here in Greensboro until tommorrow morning, so I won't be back in Dallas for another few days.
Too bad I am going to miss the fun. I will try my hardest to make the next one.
Ken |

Actually, mine started suffering electrical problems after we bumped in that hairpin. That was my fault. Still a blast, though!
Here's the list I have so far -- anyone else?
Rob
Jim S
Chris
Jim E. and possible friend
Bob and possible brother
Alex and probably his wife Linda
Tamara and I
So that's 7 to 11 so far -- hopefully we'll have a few more join us.
Who's bringing their Fcars or other interesting rides?

I only broke Alex's car (T boned him in a turn and chain came off). Tillman's car had some electrical problems or the battery just ran out of juice. I think he was just scared to race us so he feined injury. |

As Jim mentioned, we had a blast. It should be noted that both broken cars were direct results of "on-track incidents" involving Mr. Schad, so beware
We're going to have the LeMans room as a meeting room. It's right by the front door of the facility as you enter. It'll be a good place for any FCA/DFW business, if we have any to discuss. The garage is functional -- big, lighted, covered. It's part of the main building itself -- it was the loading dock back when this place was a warehouse. Should be fine for Tuesday.
The garage entrance is off the side road by the facility. When you're coming down the access road, go just past TBC and take the first right, and the entrance should be obvious. There's a front and rear entrance to the garage - I don't know which will be open.
I'm going to try to be there early to make sure everything's OK.
Remember -- we're being charged as a group for this event. 3 races is $35, with tax it's $38. Please bring cash with you. The first two races are qualifiers -- lowest track time wins. The last one is _supposed_ to be based on lap with the winner being the first to cross the finish line, but because they've never timed it that way before this may be subject to change.
TBC's website is http://www.tbcindoorracing.com/ There's a coupon for a free Tshirt on their website -- maybe they'll actually have the shirts this time
A map of their location is http://makeashorterlink.com/?S2AC12781
Some pics of a previous Fchat gathering is in this thread http://server.ferrarichat.com/~ferrari/ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/6532/36575.html?1021429053
Once again, this is officially an FCA/DFW event, but please invite anyone you think will enjoy the event.

Went last night to TBC with Tillman and a friend of his. Had a blast. Met the mgr, gave us a tour and let us race for free as it was a "site visit" for FCA-DFW. Some guy who plays for the Indiana Pacers was there too. Forgot his name. Anyway, out of 3 cars we broke 2 of them so watch out come Tuesday!! |

Great!
So far, we have Tamara and I, Rob, Chris, Jim and friend, and Jim from this board. I'm not sure how many others we'll have, but hopefully we'll hit the 10 I promised TBC.
Jeremy, we originally chose a weekday to avoid conflicting with other events. We'll see how the turnout goes and what people think, and go from there. A weekend event sounds like fun, but we're hoping to get a semi-regular series going here also.
I'm looking forward to this coming Tuesday. |

My theory so far is we'll get more participation on weekdays for these small events. I've been told the Ferrari crowd usually always has major plans on the weekend. Also, FCA Houston runs a Kart series almost monthly I think. Link to their site from the national FCA.
I think Tillman is going to experiment around though. |

Bump
I just spoke again with Eddie Hill, who is the special events coordinator at TBC. We're still on for the 20th, with a meeting room and parking in their garage.
One note: there's just a single bill for all of us for the racing, so _please_ bring cash for the racing.
I'm going down there next Thursday evening to check out the meeting rooms and the garage, and also to run a race or three. Anyone interested? |

This sounds like fun. It's a little too far out for me to commit, but I'll be there if I can. How many races did we do last time, 3? I recall feeling like that was enough when we were done. |

The last gathering at TBC Indoor Racing ( http://www.tbcindoorracing.com/flash/index.html ) was a blast, and it's time to go racing again!
Tuesday, August 20th at 7:00 pm, TBC is going to have some track time set aside for us. There's a covered garage for the cars, a meeting room, and three races each. And if you like, you can always buy more races.
This is a FCA DFW event, but everyone is encouraged to attend. At some point we will be discussing how (and whether) to organize a regular points series similar to that of the Houston chapter ( http://www.fca-houston.org/Events.htm ).
The cost for the event is $35, which includes the three races, use of the room, use of the garage, etc.
Interested? Sign in here, or buzz me via email. Remember, everyone is invited.... |
