this was proof that running the series and competing at the same time is very VERY exhausting. my highest salute to all who were involved in running the show successfully
Anyway, Naza, how was the follow up? Tak call? Else I will join you
Ya loh, I was discussing with AP on 3 things :
1) Damages in rd 1 involving :
1 no. K1 kart (bent steering tie rod)...paid RM50 (Azlan to confirm)
1 no. K3 kart 14 (both tie rods snapped)....not paid, got to locate the driver.
2) Asked him what happened if the kart is damaged so bad and is written off. Will the driver(s) liabilty to pay still remain at RM600 max? Bear in mind that a new chassis nowadays can set you back up to 16K. He will respond soon.
3) CK's mechanics is not too happy with having to frequently fix and unfix the ballast before every race to the affected karts. He suggested that every driver will be given a pair of spanners (FOC) and fix / unfix the ballasts themselves. Personally, I thought its doable along with some simple pre race checks as follows:
- Check tyres and tyre pressures (standard is 0.9 bar cold)
- check radiator coolant level -
- check drive chain tension- too loose can cause the chain to snap or jump out of the sprocket.
- check battery is securely fastened - bad contact can cause power loss or engine to stop / and wont start at all.
- check fuel level whether adequate
- Report anything loose.
Guys, we have to learn to do this to ensure that your kart remains in top condition. These CRG karts are full racing specs type and will serve the driver well if we take care to do the simple check above. We are not suppose to mess around with the engine or carburettor to ensure a level playing field.

Wanted to go down the track today but was raining when I was about to leave the house? Was it pouring at CK at about 3pm?
