Karting Race


Cargirl ok all those who were interested please see the other thread we need numbers people .//... and don't miss out on seeing our star mystery guest ....
MaaaD ya you can cheer for me :P XRW-147
Don't worry, I'm sure people who know what they are doing will lend their assistance. Corcovado can i be in even though i dont know how to drive? MaaaD I am in too ... XRW-147 I'm in. Cargirl Hi All So how does everyone fancy a bit of sport. I know a lot of you fancy yourselves as a bit of a closet Shumacher so how about a bit of a Kart GP We can hire the track at the autodrome one evening for a reasonable fee and they have all the kit you need. The evening can be organised anyway we want from an enduro with teams or a solo driver event. I think we will be looking for about 20 people ... Let me know if you are interested and I can get an appriximate price :iroc: KeithL Whats the approximate cost like :?: Cargirl
Just waiting on a "special" price from my mate ... Corcovado i can learn

Too right. Its easy, just point the wheel and stomp your feet on the pedal :D Corcovado khalas done.. i am in or not :wink: XRW-147
Mabrook or not :wink: Cargirl
or laugh as I whip his arse ;-) Cargirl
Its easy and its a great laugh ... XRW-147
Yes, some girls get ponies, some (one) get go karts :lol: fayz I’m in Cargirl
Daddy said I could have a pony as long as it could get hung up in the garage over the winter too ... Concord Depends on how dangerous it is. Tentatively in. There is a reason why in life one begins playing with basketball and ends playing golf.
XRW-147
You must have been fortunate at birth then buddy.
But no reason why you can't go through life playing both. Cargirl
Its not dangerous - although if you want me to list my karting broken bones ... no I am kidding you will get bruised but thats its at this level honnest Concord I suppose SZR is dangerous enought and not as fun. Cargirl
indeed Concord Got a list going? Cargirl As requested : 1. Cargirl 2. Wafaey 3. Concord 4. XRW- 147 5. Maad 6. corcovado XRW-147

hmmm...never driven in my life...and there are some real kamakazis here(you know who u are :P )...should i or shouldn't i?... easternjewel You have a point C, that makes me more nervous!! constantine we could always carry some nails with us.... :evil: :evil: apl I'm in. I grew up in the same village as Michael Schumacher and I hope the skills are transmitted by the drinking water. when & where? XRW-147
Isn't that part of the new "safety is cool" campaign? Without sandals, now that would be scary! KeithL When is this event being held tentatively :? Im def innerz if im in dubai in time for the kart race XRW-147
I've seen the way you drive... not too sure you should be the one who is nervous :wink: Corcovado Const. i am in and i have no clue how to drive ..... careful everybody i am coming ..verrummmmmm verummmmmmmm constantine what the heck...i am in...now fayz can you please drive me there?... :lol: :lol: easternjewel
:lol: :lol: will be right behind you or ops no, next to you. I don't wanto be the nail victim :lol: KeithL
maybe we could get HP to chauffeur you round the track ? :wink: easternjewel
MAYBE WE COULD GET HP TO CHAUFFER **YOU** ROUND THE TRACK!! :twisted: constantine getting into all that gear in the heat will be interesting...sauna on wheels...but if you take any pictures ...you do look like an F1 driver...i am in just for the photo OPs... :wink: KeithL
Nah...i heard that he requests for too many chay and parata breaks...
*whispers* his manager at carrefour told me that :wink: easternjewel
erm, I was just being a noble driver the other day :D XRW-147
And I thought u had caught the F1 bug. Cargirl Time and date to be decided - it will probably be one thursday night during August.

Apl 10.Keith L ?? constantine so you're saying EJ is in fact a good driver...so i am the poor sucka who's going to be left behind in a trail of dust... :cry: constantine
you forgot FAYZ(cocky kamakazi :P ) again...(the rest of you know who u are :P ) XRW-147 Now once is understandable but missing Fayz twice... hmmm... In any case, if its "one Thursday night in August" you will have to let me know ahead of time as I will be in China for at least a couple of those nights. easternjewel
we'l make sure that you do keke constantine
it's on... XRW-147
I would use the term "enthusiatic" HP constant Please make it sure that my sweetheart is safe and no one hurts her :roll: constantine HP i think in this instance...she will have to protect me... XRW-147
Ok, so is that your past, present or future sweetheart? HP
i am talking about Corcovado :roll: , she is quite naive in this field .
Btw, u r the only nice and sweet indian i ever seen in my life :roll: constantine thanks mate...as i said earlier...hope indo-pak relations get better...and we are starting right here with you and me...brotherhood(though i dont take any responsibility about your comments concerning the ladies)... as for corcovado...she like me has never driven...God have mercy on us... kanelli I'm tentatively in - but might travel again in August so need to know the date for the karting. Cargirl Race entry list 1a. Fayz 1. Cargirl 2. Wafaey 3. Concord 4. XRW 5. Maaad 6. Corcovado 7. Constantine 8. Eastern Jewel 9. Apl 10.Keith L ?? 11. Kanelli Oh my god sooo sorry Fayz - I got distracted my the grand prix ... No exprience nessersary but you do need to be over 14 - I have emailed to check if that is mental age as we could loose half the grid ;-) Anyway girls rule on the track - anyone who disagrees can take it up with me !! :-) :twisted: HP
Nothing is in fighting and killing the poor people. I suggest that you guys can have Kashmir , just give us ASH, shilpa shetty , sania mirza :oops: Jeevan I am in i have driven at the autodrome before and man is it fun :lol: :lol: . but i have a better suggestion. i would like to cover the complete race and post the photographs on the website that i work for if you people dont mind. rather take a video and compile a CD for everyone whos interested?? i have done this before for Albabworld go kart challenge that happened at autodrome and wanna do it again. i am being open bout it i need to generate hits to my website. but if you people dont agree i will just be there as a participant:) :lol: :lol: you can check the albabworld photographs here cheers Jerry KeithL Jerry your website is interesting and the layout is great...except for that annoying banner that scrolls down everywhere :? Jeevan yea keith, i know its the table causing problem. i am gonna get that sorted out, on 800X600 it scrolls on the text but on 1024X768 it works fine. thanks for the complement, its gonna get bigger and better with loads of information and gifts to win from time to time:) :) cheers, Jerry silhouette I'd like in too ! any dates set? & $ per head ??. Shud b fun at AUto!.. Vroooommmmm :iroc: the_zooter Guys Really wish I could be there for it, but I doubt I'll be in Dubai then. Gees, and I'm a real racing aficionado (get it from my dad - he used to be a proper racing driver unlike us amateurs!!). Concord - as for getting hurt at golf, well I've played a few times and nearly got hurt!! In fact, I played last year and had a 6 foot birdie putt. I was just about to take my putt when a golf ball thudded on the ground about a foot away from me!! Talk about in shock - I 4 putted from there!! Concord
No, no. The reference is that the "older one gets the smaller the balls". PrettyPenny Anyone volunteering for the roadkill vacancy? Corcovado
where have u been :?: the_zooter
What do you mean? Corcovado
its been a while the_zooter
I'm with you now!!! (a little slow sometimes!!) the_zooter
A while since what? yshimy
12. Yshimy
I herbey i'm above 14
note: i need powerful car as i'm too heavy for the tiny cars they give us, we need to maintain power to weight ratio to have fair competition XRW-147
Interesting notion :lol: Corcovado men and cars :? *Going to my happy place* llalalalala :hippy2: Jeevan no reply from anyone as yet :cry: do i get to take photographs and shoot the video? :roll: cheers, Jerry XRW-147
Depends what and where they will be used for Jerry. Jeevan XR The project that i work on is a sports and fitness portal. from time to time we cover events ( just started ) and post the pictures on the website for people to see and download if they want to. i dunno if it will work in this case coz on this forum most of the time people interact virtually and would mind coming in the open. I am being open, i need hits to the website as its still in a early stage. the video wouldnt go on the website. i will compile it ,burn it on a cd and give it out to people who are interested. i know its a long shot but still would love to do this. if you want to see the go kart event i have covered previously please go to this link cheers, Jerry XRW-147 Cheers for taking the time to clarify Jerry. I think you have hit the nail on the head with regards to the mind frame of some members. Not everyone is keen on having their picture posted on the internet but having said that I personally don't think 'action' pics where you show the competitors on the course would be an issue, as their faces will be covered by the helmet. Videos you would have to pay attention to the scope of your distribution. Giving it out to people who are interested would not be ideal and I doubt members would be comfortable with that notion - same as releasing pics of the DF meeting to those who are unknown or did not attend. This is only a representation of my views and please do not take it as anything more than this. Jeevan thanks XRW can i get a view from other members as well. as far as the video goes i guess i wouldnt do it. for the pictures would take action pics and ask people if they would like their pictures to go online if not then they wouldnt go on. In a racing gear no one would be able to identify whos who. and no names would go along with the pictures. if people are willing please do let me know. cheers, Jerry fayz
You're just afraid of some competition hehehehe. I was starting to get a complex. If there are not enough forum members in, I may be able to get a few non forumers to join if that is acceptable?
Please keep us posted on the dates and I’ll see you at the checkered flag.
Const, no probs with the ride. Cargirl [quote="yshimy"]
Yes I think that comes in as #129 in the racing drivers book of excuses... Cargirl
Afraid of the competition!! Afraid of the competition!!!
Thats fighting talk where I come from!
Yes of course non forum members can be brought into make up the numbers ... if we are racing in teams be sure i will bring in a load of ringers to make sure I win ;-) Cargirl Race entry list 1a.
