Thanks Jim, but if I attend this event I will not be driving the BS, it is still out in California getting a few more mods put on it. None of my "fast" cars get driven on the salt and ice covered roads of Chicago during the winter months. I'll drive the ML, its an MB.

I heard this is how the night went down:

SAMAS showed up, tastfully modded his cart to look like Darth Vader and took to the track. His W210cart, while being an older cart, is widely known as being the nicest around.

Marcus said that while it was great to see everyone the facility was not up to his standard and the carts weren’t either. He is friends with the owners of a much better carting track. He also said that while he is an expert on cart racing, he had a disadvantage because he is tall.

Aleksandar got there and immediately modified his cart to have lights underneath it. Everything was going fine until he entered the last turn and forgot to turn, heading straight into the tire barrier wall.

Nick, being so light, ran laps around everyone, but had to leave early to get home to be with the new wifey (who he recently purchased a BMW!!! for).

JRcart talked hella trash on the internet, showed with a pit crew of 12, worked on his cart for two hours, ran one lap, complained that his cart was losing traction unexplainably in the middle of the track and immediately headed back into the pits. He later headed out and was lapped 3 times by ENDSMTG. JRcart then called up brad from evosport to see how on earth this could’ve happened and pledged to do more mods before the next meet.

ENDSMTG showed up, took the rest of the group to school on the track and left. On the way home he got baited into a race with a punk kid in a mustang with modded exhaust. After putting bus lengths on the mustang, his V1 lit up with instant-on Ka band while doing about a buck sixty. He outran the cops, got home and told his wife “if the cops show up, I haven’t left the house all night.” He has subsequently decided to keep the E55 parked for the next month “just in case.”

Jtc55 had to sit out of the first race because he lost the caravan heading to the carting track and showed up 30 minutes behind the rest of the pack. (he has an E63 not an E55, nuff said)

C32used couldn’t make it because he had to hang with the kids as per usual.

Is that about right????

Jason showed up and modded his cart to include a smg transmission, but after the race was over he continued flooring the cart until the last moment possible,(if there was a passenger he would have peed his pants) and then proceeded to misinterpret the end of the drag strip, i mean uhhh track, and then crash and burn....


EDIT: Oh I just got the going off the track into the tire wall joke, very funnny...... not....

Pretty accurate! I'm sore as hell today though! Alex kept bumping me trying to pass, and finally spun me out in the last race. I have to remember to kep my distance when we are on the street!

Thanks for organizing a great event Nick!
