I thought I'd have a weight advantage on you, but maybe not on Ryan. Anyway, when the flag drops Thursday we'll see who is the best.

True story Tim. But, as long as I stat from pole, none of that will matter!

Ok, Schumacher.
The pole is all yours buddy. It's way more fun to pass anyways.
And just in time for your arrival: A new unofficial track record from last night.

seems like you'd have to be going quite a bit faster/better driver to pass someone if the times are only separated by 0.4s.

With such a short track, and short time between laps, a guy going 1 second slower looks like he parked it.
The karts are very equal...it's all about the driver which makes it even more entertaining.

any of the indoor karts i have done, there's not much room to pass, except for gross driver error (given equal karts, which you pick up on the ringers prrtty quick). The big outdoor ones like they had in S FL, had plenty of room. sounds fun!

You may be right. Even my roommate is saying I'm going to get waxed. But, I've talked enough trash, so there is no turning back now.

this is one of the most fun short tracks around. There are several great places to pass. Just need to be patient, and pick your points. There is tons of passing going on during the laps. Sometimes we pass the same people more than once per lap!
