    There's not a lot to write, but hopefully some pictures will suffice.

    Richardktm, Serpentza, Tom and I managed to get permission to take our bikes onto the the local Karting track that we've been going to on and off for a year or so. Bikes were loaded up into a Ford Transit outside of Shenzhen, and delivered to the track.

    There was Richardktm's Galaxy 250 and Tom's Qingqi - Suzuki - Zhongshen hybrid. When we got to the track, some critical high weight components like headlights and the instrument cluster were removed from Tom's bike, we go suited up, and headed out. It was one man at a time starting out and Richardktm had the first go.

    Serpentza was there that day to work telemetry and hopefully help us cut off those tenths

    Tom headed out for his first go. Serpentza still a bit nervous about the fuel mapping. Turns out it was spot on.

    Obviously safety is paramount. The kart was parked on the apex of the corner for reference.

    I had a go myself on Richardktm's bike and had a blast. At 40RMB for 10 minutes, it's hard not to be happy. No foot-out for me though

    Then Tom and Richardktm had a go on the track at the same time. Tom's hybrid did a great job keeping up with the Galaxy, and all riders ended up within a second of eachother. Again, thanks to Serpentza for setting up the hybrid.

    Richardktm seeing a crowd, CANNOT help himself

    And that was that. We finished off the day with cold beers and watched the now thickening crowd of Chinese wreck and demolish the karts.

    We WILL be going again and we try to get the word out for any to join with their bikes.

    Seacrest out.


    note: weird things happening with image sizing. All images were shot on the same camera, and all resized to the same size. Then set to display as "large" in the post editor. But as you can see, ever image is a different size. What am I obviously missing here...?
