I guess this year, im just gonna be a midfield driver Sticking out tongue 2 rounds down the drain, it wd be hard to recover.

Had battery problems in Rd1 that caused me unable to restart after a bad spin.

Rd2, had to use Kart 16, which was good overall, but it had worned out sprocket. Had to pit at flag off. Thanks to the mechanics who worked frantically to change the sprocket as I told them, I dont mind finishing last, but I need to finish. Rejoin in Lap 6.. and finished last for a solitary 8 points.

Hope CK will pay attention to kart maintenance and preservation of batteries after kart use. This round alone saw multiple incidences of engine seizures and other problems.

Dare I look forward to Rd3? For the fun of it, of course!!

Just a reminder to the competitors, be courteous to fellow competitors. Its more fun when we race ethically and improve our skills together.

Yes, I concur with Rizal that CK needs to buck-up on the kart maintenance as we had too many casualties this time. The kart I shared with Daniel (14) had a worned out sprocket in my 1st Qualifying causing me to DNF, while in my 2nd Qualifying the spark plugs and battery had to be changed, causing me to DNS. This also affected Daniel's 2nd Qualifying, but because he is the champion buaya, he still managed to clinch the title for Rd2. Anyway, by the time we got to the finals, the kart was sweet and superb.

But yeah, I'm just ranting as my elbows and shoulders probably need to be re-greased anyway according to Muhaymin! Eye

congratulations to Daniel.

Still, up to round 2 we (Rizal and I) have never truely driven our primary kart #12. The engine died on us during the early engine warm up . Both of us bump to spare kart #23.

Kart #23 one hell of power slider, takes awhile to adapt the kart characteristic. After all the kart is kind of fun to drive though it does not have the top end and kind of power overwhelming at buttom low.

Overall not much comment on this round.
