    Nice to see everyone again and to meet Tom and Scott there. That Blue on Tom's car is just a beauty and Greg's car is one of my favorites :)

    It was my pleasure meeting all of you as well. Looking forward to many more gatherings. Still working on trying to clear my calander for the 29th. (It's not looking good). Cheers.

    Tom, thanks for the beer.

    Did anyone beat Rob's time of 42.045? It was the fastest time I saw posted before I left.

    Rob did, with a 42.03something :D

    It's nice to see Tom isn't a figment of Jim's imagination after all. Beautiful car, Tom, good to meet you. You too Tim

    Our times have remained somewhat consistent, so the karts aren't too flakey like TBC.

    October 2004
    Rob 41.6
    David 42.2 (The new ringer!!!)
    Jim 42.7
    Ron 42.8


    March 2005
    Top 3 Grand Prix times...
    1. Rob 42.2
    2. Peter 42.5 (this months ringer)
    3. David 43.2 (October's ringer - crappy cart this month)

    June 2005
    1. David 42.731
    ?. Joshua 44.79

    Here's what I'm doing, but know it probably isn't the best…

    1) Line up at start far right angled a little bit at left apex.
    2) Nail gas once tree turns yellow, the delay will launch you right at green.
    3) Go over the curbing, not by them. :)
    4) Slow in - Fast out.
    5) Because of delay getting back on power, avoid brakes except in the corners you have to brake. I think I was only braking at 6 or 7 places.

    Anyone try braking without letting the gas up like we did TBC? Any other hints?

    My first time there...I got down from 52.5-odd on the first lap to 47.5-odd on the next 2...but I know those extra 5 seconds come a lot harder.

    My car stalled out 2x and thats why I got out after the third lap.

    Tim, Scott, & Tom. Great to meet you guys & I'm looking forward to any of those action karting photos. It was also great to see the usual crew as always. As for my best time, 42.974 but like Rob said I tried to stay off the brakes a much a possible but felt like I was about to spin it completely out towards the end of the course.

    Perhaps, but you need mercy on that Sega motorcycle game! :D ;P






    PS: I'll concede Tillman beat me in the 355CH game though.

    My work took us to Speedzone tonight. My best time on the big-kids cars was 43.333 seconds.

    I know it doesn't count in the F-chat registry, but its certainly an improvement on the last time I was there. The Slick-Track is the only time I've been allowed to "take out" my managers and not get written up for it. :D
