i find out when i find out... could be 3 shift rotation for a month then continental for a month depends on how orders come in... it could be that i take a week off in august to make up a few days back to back which wouldn't even be that bad

ya last night was pretty good... i qualified first, my time was actually faster then the fastest in the lightweight class to which is weird considering they probably have 100 lbs weight advantage 
but good times... i ended up 7 in the final race but got past 2 or 3 times under yellow... so that sucked... i guess bob can't watch everywhere at once

u guys might be slower in the straights, but the added rear weight helps traction greatly in the turns.

Last nite was pretty decent... a couple pretty nice crashes (by other ppl) one guy almost flipped his kart as there was a 4 kart crash.. he was on his back 2 wheels but fortuinate enough to put his weight forward so he wouldn't flip back....
anyways I qualified 10th.. moved up to 6th after the pre race and finished 2nd overall so I was pretty happy with that

i think for my class when they did qualifying they go from heaviest starting first to lightest starting last... cause there was only two guys in front of me... both heavier... and i doubt anyone else in the field was heavier then me... i could see a few other people 200+ but not many...
i'd like to see how the standings would be with every cart carrying weights so with driver every cart is tugging 220lbs around... cause if i can put down lap times faster then the fastest qualifier in the lightweight class (me being at the high end of the heavy weight class) i'd imagine i'd be rather unstopable but it also comes down to the carts i find... cause that cart i ran those qualifying laps in was perfect, the one for pre race was mediocore, and the one i had for the race would scrub so much speed off in the corners...
oh ya for the tsn turning point last night, on one of my practice runs my cart actually had a blown rear left tire... so it would handle ok around all the left hand turns... but that big right hander it would just lose so much speed... like the side and rear bumper would scrape nice... i just thought the cart sucked but then they pointed me off and then we saw the reason

i didn't say anything about starting position for qualifying... i said the time i put down was faster then anybody else out there... for a 220lbs 6'3" guy is not to bad considering how light everybody else was... i should have kept those qualifying sheets...
doubtful for practice thursday cause we just went... maybe the week after if i'm ichin... but it'll probably suck cause no heavy weights would be out
