Sunday Racing

I went to Shah Alam Karting Circuit today to have some fun and practice with my friends and family. Also, I passed my helmet to Edwyn so he can get it done soon :) . Me and my friends raced in the 80cc karts and I gave them a try for 100cc too! The race for the 80cc was not that great honestly because the curse of broken karts were there again every time we want to race each other. Mine's had a problem with well everything. The karts weren't up to speed, in a group of 10 people only 2 will get a decent kart to toy with. I had 3 rounds with the 80cc whilst my friends had 2 rounds of it. First round sucked badly though as my race was hampered with a low speed kart. 2nd round was decent, Naza and Danny was in the track but there were too many karters so we can't manage to race each other because the of the slow pace of the other karters. We managed to get a race for about 2 laps? Danny's kart was too slow and by the time we're about to race, times up! Blurg! The 3rd round was bad though. I did have good kart(handles pretty much the way I like) but falls short on top speed. I know I don't use my top speed as my special trait but Afiq's kart speed was kind of obvious that the kart was so much better but I don't want to make any excuses here as long as they're happy, I'm happy with it. Then came the 100cc tryouts. Everyone had a problem with their karts. My cousins fuel was too low and it slows down everytime he's in the corner, Afiq's spunned off and Aiman couldn't find a way through pass with the 80cc karters. Mine's ok but I just realised the kart weren't balanced enough as the weights for the kart is removed. I thought it'll be fun having a light kart but really its not! you go sideways everytime, the power response wasn't accurate, the brakes were not biting and it's scary a little bit. Honestly I always had a problem with Shah Alam track and I can't understand why. I kart there often, understood the track and pretty much seasoned with the track. Rental kart perhaps? I don't know but for the other tracks I don't think I have a problem with it.
