it was a wicked time out.

Thanks kelly for organising such a great event.

Good to meet a few more SAU'ers

Was a bit sore the next specially when i went to pick up the wheels from Adrian

Team SLAM (me and my co driver of the night)....managed to break a kart

even the guys at kartmania didnt know what went wrong.

but we were displaying a Mark Webber sort of drive...

5% to finish we stuffed our kart up lol

Me and my mate came second on the night.

Great night, but i think some people were driving like they were out to hurt people. :happy:

It wasn't a Mark Webber drive, you actually finished the race! lol

i dont think any one went there with that attitude mate.

umm not in the kart that we started young one.....lol

We started in kart number 17 and ended the race in some other kart.

and i dont think any of us went out there with that attitude shaun.

certainly i didnt...i was just out there to have fun.

now u will get a bit of crashing and bashing in any form of motor race, even in F1

its just part and parcel of the whole thing

Some pics of the night - some in the foyer at Kart Mania, and some in the carpark/in Maccas Enfield afterward

I was one of the team of 4 that rocked up well late. So at least one of us owns a skyline and on this forum (I just spend most of my time in the classic line's section), we weren't just complete randoms :) well we were but ya get that.

But yeah we started last got up to 5th snapped a tie rod whoops back to last again, ended up finishing 5th so I reckon we did alright. There is no way I could race and open wheeler, I'm way to rough for that.

If they drove like they did on the night on a race track they would have no car to take home.

Just because you have guards around the car doesn't mean you have the right to use people as a brake and shove them out the way.

Some of the incident that i saw and were involved in were plain stupidity.

But i did have a great night and a few people let themselves down by being overly aggressive.

thats pretty soft mate, we all went out there, to have a good time, and go for gold.

rubbin is racing mate, i got hit a few times, but is my fault, i was to slow on the racing line, you get that.

maybe think twice bout comin next time if it hurt your feelings to be rubbed a little.

Adrian and I were giving it in equal amounts. Anyone would think we were overdoing it ... hey, we probably were, but we both had fun doing it, even if it was him going into the wall in the end. I was half expecting to be put into the wall eventually myself. If both parties are there for the rough play, then they're only hurting themselves. Not some innocent driver. The staff let us be, so we couldn't have been that bad :)

End result was: we had fun! :( I didn't care so much were I was on the grid, but what I did while I was there. I had some fun rubbing it up to 3 other karts all night.

You're only as fast at the guy behind you clipping your heals. :(

We need another kart night again. Thats the most fun I've had in a while. Get some real competitors in for some paint swapping. :) Softies need not apply.

here here ^^^ +1 with ya ruby

i was involved in a bit of bumper to bumper action with a lot of ppl

specially adriano haha...he went into the wall and some one hit me at the same time....

i remember scandyflick complaining about kidney damage after wards lol

+10 for another kart night

it was soo soo much fun

hats off to kelly for organising such an eventfull night

more then willing to spend $50 and go gokarting then chuck in $50 worth of petty in the line and only worrying about getting defected

Don't ever go to a hire kart track with a group of sprint karters then. Last time I did that I woke up sore the next morning thats for sure. I don't think I have ever seen so much carnage before.

Edited by DR JOSH
then dont complain.

:)

I agree we should do it again! There are other formats of racing, if we want to look at a smaller group ... a smaller group of elite carnage drivers ;)

answer to that one would be me and you ruby

me and u gave young adriano some good smacking lol

count me in for the next time

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
