All is well?

Have you ever had a feeling...a good feeling but it ended up very badly? For example when you are planning to go to a fancy restaurant with a date. A beautiful date, you got your salary to spend, traffic's not in the way to disturb you on the way to the restaurant and when you reached the restaurant you found out that the restaurant was burned down and you had do with the restaurant nearby which is a contrast between the restaurant you originally planned? Dirty, filthy and such. Even if you want to turn back, the traffic's full and your date is complaining that she's hungry. Enough about that, it happened to me last Saturday in the My-Kart K3 race. The 1st heat was good, I finished 2nd with a slow kart(the kart ahead was too fast for me and eventually the kart won it all). However, the track conditions made up for it. Wet and slippery that's what I needed for a slow kart. Brandon Lim and me finished 1-2 respectively but we were demoted 10 places down due to jumpstart. This angered me and Brandon because the jumpstart occurred obviously during the start of the race. Yes I do admit that what I did was wrong and was unaware about it since I've raced in real karting competition, when you see a green flags been waved, FULL SPEED AHEAD!! No one is going to give you a chance! The incident happened at the 1st lap of the race. The real penalty for that is a drive through penalty. That would the most fitting penalty for that kind of behaviour. Otherwise why would we be pushing as hell until the end of race? Somebody needs to buy a drive through penalty flag! Moving on to the 2nd heat. So I started legally this time ;) but before that my kart stalled at the rolling lap so I had to take a spare kart(Its ok no brakes but nvm bout that who needs em in 80cc). Again I bit the dust of the fast kart that dominated the whole event. I finished a very safe 2nd though just like the 1st one. That made me qualified for the Group A Final(just). This is the hard part telling. There was a confusion during kart selection. I picked '11' but the kart wasn't there at the grid so I picked up another spare kart which was so so rubbish! I started at the middle of the grid. Right after the green flag waves off, everyone overtook me and yes I finished dead last in the end. No matter, its just a fun race anyway I have other big races to focus on =) . The Yamaha SL Cup final round would be in a week's time. I hope Mikko's back soon so I can enter the competition as I craved for real competition for awhile already. I also booked a hotel for the 13-14th Dec KKS Championship =) . I also made a plan about next year's racing activities including a BIG ambitions to enter the Formula Renault Championships next year. With Rotax Max Challenge, KKS Championships and Yamaha SL Cup, it'll be a packed year full of motorsport activities.

Also this week I brought my 2 lovely cars to take on Sepang F1 track. On Wednesday, I brought the GTI. It's business as usual as the car behaved pretty much safe at the track. Albeit too safe for my reckoning. On Thursday I brought the Alfa 156 GTA which was a terrifying experience. Well a good terrified though. The car was pretty much safe with the traction control on, so we decided to off it and.....all hell breaks loose. We were all over the place! We enjoyed it so much until the brakes eventually fade due to much stress that was put into the car and...we realized it at the last corner at the track which was a 2-3rd gear corner and it requires heavy braking as you're going flat out before that. We did went flat out, then when the braking part needs to be done, it didn't work =0. I was doing the limit of the Alfa could take so yeah we almost end up crashing or maybe totaled car. We survived though the ordeal and hurt our face muscles because we were screaming non stop at the track enjoying the sideways trip =).

All and all I had a great week, a good start where I left off from the eventful last week. All is well I guess.
