I should have this on the back of my racing gloves so that I can refer to it when in extremis.

I missed the flow chart item for

"your rear wing has separated from your 911 mid-turn".......

I could have used that one last weekend :-(

I'm pretty sure I just heard all of the responses in one of my instructor's voices and ducked from the incoming beatings at my desk accordingly.

When I got back to the pits his dad actually came over to me and yelled that I should have known his son was the fastest kart on the track and that I should have let him buy. Right before I threatened to beat him to death with my wrench I stuffed the qualifying times in his mouth so that he could digest how I out qualified his kid by more than 2 seconds ( and I was mid-pack!).

When he reported me to the police because I wanted to beat him to death, no one in the pits backed up his story. Put my kart up for sale the next weekend and bought my first 911.

Hi there Coco. How's the not-lifting-mid-corner going?

Gotta love the similarity in our userpics.

Jeezuz.
Did the kid driving the other kart by chance end up buying a cup car?
