i tried to get online last night/early this morning but the site was down i guess. i raced today, finally got to run with other karts and everything seemed to work right for once. I qualified 3rd in a field of 7, and it was my first actual race evar.....friggen shweet. i decided to take the back of the field though, since i had never raced before..didn't want to cause a wreck ya know. spun out twice in the race and still managed to place 5th out of 7....not bad in my book for me first time. did find out that i'm leaking oil, my engine is running about 125 degrees to cool, and i'm running about 1500 rpms too low. should be taching 7500 but i'm only making 5800-6000. still was friggen awesome........its been a long time since 4 this morning, so ima gonna clean up and crash. pics tomorow!! :gears
