Hence me buying used am29 birels and not thinking about new chassis ever.

Teammate of mine flipped an arrow, or a comet eagle, i think theyre just rebrands, at 50 mph thru a hay bale and kart was perfectly fine, although he broke his hand.

Their pretty popular here among the high rollers but they have a reputation for being pretty forgiving when they are new. Kart dealer always says if you really want to learn then don't buy a Tonykart.

I have a pre-bankruptcy PCR and the thing is a loving tank. It's from like 2007 and you really gotta drive the poo poo out of it to get it to work. Saw an Arrows shifter get into an accident that tore the control arm and wheel off another kart on a standing start and the Arrows was totally fine, those things look like they could survive a bomb hit.

Take a look at that McLaren mechanic at Mexico near the end there, goddamn. Nearly turned me gay, that guy, just look at him. Imagine if he had logos on his uniform of a team that could possibly win something. I think the fraudulent British would say "phwoar." By the way I said nearly, cause I'm not gay, I'm totally straight obviously.

That'd actually be pretty sweet. I haven't touched the adjustments in the few years I've been doing it other than a few minor things so if he had any recommendations for a baseline setup that'd be awesome as I'm pretty sure I've knocked the toe away from whatever was put in the kart before me.

The live streaming package is awesome and fairly cheap (like $80 USD for the season, I get mine as part of a club membership). It's a Good sport.

I guess if there's any race I should miss due to business travel it's the annual snoozer in Barcelona.

Also I would be more than happy to see the Fast Heikkis return.

No why would Tony pick Ricciado when Alan Jones is a WDC and from Melbourne which is in the greatest and most glorious state of Victoria?

E: no joke those 2005 Nobel prize winning ulcer guys were really hardcore. They had a theory that these incredibly painful and often lethal ulcers were being caused by a specific bacteria in the gut and not stress, so they developed a drug that would kill these bacteria. Then they hit a snag, they couldn't test this stuff on mice or pigs because it wouldn't work the same way as it would with humans, and without testing it can't get passed for use. Can't test it on humans because it would violate the human rights laws.
Their solution was to drink the bad bacteria themselves, get ulcers and then hope like hell the cure would work, which it did.

There's a similar situation going on with Chron's and UC research right now. FMT is showing promising results, but the drug companies pushed the FDA to require that it be made in sterile conditions. It's bacterial laden feces, how exactly do you make that in a sterile environment?

Drug companies don't like cures, they like maintenance, and they're not going to invest in anything they can't patent.

Also, speaking of poo poo, almost time for Mclaren to embarass themselves! Bolt prediction: At least one of them starts from the pits, one of them catches fire at some point

Honestly he just went out and did the lap you need to be qualified. No reason to do a hot lap.
I mean he's not great but his best most realistic place was last either way.
