OK! So it was a great night boys! Had a lot of fun, good company.
Before you all rip into me me while I am asleep and defenseless, You beat me fair and square, sort of...................................

The experienced blokes were all teamed up with guys that hadn't races before and , well, my co/driver had a few offs then had to go home crook half way through the Grand prix which did leave me a fair few laps down.
He was a little bit of a lot off the pace beforehand. Anyway, there was no way that kart was going to do much so yes h2hoo and delux, you pants me!!!
Cheers guys, enjoyed the social atmosphere anyway. Good to see a new member there with the blue R32. What a top looking Golf! Roll on 2007 challenge! ( and next weeks Melbourne kart meet?) Will post some pics tommorrow if they are any good

Text message from gtimk5 before the grand prix!!!!
U gonna lose mate, you are a loser. Wear that stupid fox hat beanie and some high heels and see how you go after the real men race!!!

Well stuff me Mr racer, what a night, team Skaife won the event, a team with myself and ben in it. Mate dont blame your co driver, you were that hard on him, thats what made him sick with fright! Anyway you were punching laps with the rookies and still getting done. Mate you werent even in the running, you were getting further and further behind me on each lap in that last session, no co driver to be seen!! I even creamed you when i finished the race with the hand brake on once the chequered flag was unrolled two laps from the finish!!!
And to top it off , jumped in the gti and legged it real fast afterwards, didnt even join the rest of us for a beer!!!

YOU WEAK PRICK MATEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved the win, thanks to Ben aswell, who i think thought we had no chance!

LOL. You won, fair and aquare, well done! Sent the sms to gee you up. It was deluxws co/driver thet put mine into the wall and sent him home. There was a heart issue going on. He vommited 3 times on the way to Lauderdale. Shiny Bob had to follow him home. Bobs kart was hitting the govenor on the straight, anyone elses? Mine wasn't close to it. No excuses, was a good night, had to pick the daughter up. No excuse though. Sorry bout that!

And to finish this topic, a few results.
Winners were H2hoo and Ben
Fastest lap was shared by delux/Tim and Mick/Josh teams. Beat Shiny Bob/Evan by 100th sec.
The top 3 place getters finished on 120 laps with 4th and 5th finishers on 119 laps. Last, myself and Kevin only did 115 laps. Crap....
