Youngster's a good guy who really looks after his friends, but I don't need to tell you that. There are a lot of us here are like that. Welcome to this board, we're very glad to have you here. I've heard you've been to Sears Point a couple time You have a cool driving bio. . . Maybe you can share it on the forum. |

I dont know about the back? Last time I lost my grip and almost made us crash!! GUYS I gotta tell ya--IM NOT WITH THE TRACK ANYMORE. Yep I quit. The reasons are many, but what i can say (as i put my politicaly correct hat on) is that the current admistration (at the track not the white house, although the shoe may fit) will not let me take the track in the direction it needs to go. Quiet frankly it stopped being fun awhile ago. I have some other irons in the fire, so i will still be around, (can you spell go-kart racing?) Youngster, you got my number, when Kim will let me ride HER bike, Il be there and get some more instruction! Untill then I just have to keep watching and learning on the TV. If anyone in this club needs any help that i might give, please dont hesitate to call. racerdave  |

Side note. I will say that I heard the the go carts interests groups who have been there in the past have no interest in going out to that track in the current condition. I know that go carts have no suspicion and they break the most unusual parts. That is why they called it quits a few years ago.
I hope things are realize soon that are ovois to me. Decisions are made by the big heads who in my opinion in any multi-million company's in which I have successfully worked for (up to a 20 +billion)years for have no no understanding of real world events, conditions, and practicality to the success of their business and mostly there customers. It has become more of price per a square foot and a get ready for the next session. Just like today, I went to wall-mart for a life jacket in mid July for my son and they had zero in stock. Is this because they sold all the ones they had in stock two months ago when you could touch one without three falling in your lap? No it is marking. Is x-mas coming in.
RFRT doesn't have marking its needs to be successful. Or just the money.
I/we love the track in the c configuration

Yes, I have spoke at length with the karters, they will come back if the track fixes the hole at the top of the slide on H configuration. There is a low spot where a culvert crosses and the karts literally geet airborne there. The track knows what it has to do to fix it, lets hope they do. Youngster, do have ANY of that camera footage we shot that day? I'd love to see it/have it. Let me know if the track bike is available-when.

Justino- you must NOT have graduated from a Nevada public school.....lol just kiddin New Jersey. I graduated 172nd out of 176, though. None of my classmates recognized 173, 174, 175 or 176 on graduation day. On commencement day, 173 was wearing full navy dress whites. Kenneth told me he was with Seal Team 5 during the Gulf War (part one) which I knew to be false because my parents were familiar with his parents and he attended a 'special school the previous 3 months. I did what anyone would do when faced with a pathological liar. With a straight face I said "Thank you for your dedication and service to our country" |
