HEY! Go-Karting is AWESOME! (Free ride from Taipei offered)

It would appear that a lot of people will be “indisposed” on Sunday after MTK’s birthday party Saturday night… :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought you had a full car? I got out of going to the wedding by mentioning to my girlfriend that I made out with the bride once before…and her new husband might not like me being there. It’s her brother-in-law’s brother that’s getting married. So I’ll be there tomorrow. I plan on getting there earlier than usual…maybe 11am.

[quote=“turkey_dinner”]So I’m just picking up on this thread. Who’s going to the track this saturday the 25th?

I’m feeling frisky.[/quote]

Sorry turkey…we seem to only go on Sundays…Saturday is ok with me…but so far it’s always been Sundays. Hopefully you can make it out tomorrow.

Well, I did have a full car… but people started to cancel left and right and they’re probably wiser than me when it comes to dealing with hangovers. :wink:

Won’t make it tomorrow anymore. Drunk watching rugby, no parties for me. Paintball today was fun, Mordeth’s own team shot him in the head. Be there next week, enjoy your hangovers.

I was supposed to hit the old-growth forest up on Lala Shan… If it doesn’t come together in the next hour I’ll come down there.

Is anyone still going to the track?

I’ve heard stories about you rockin the pack Mordeth… I’ve got a 5 gallon jug that we can fill with water and stuff under your legs.

Give me a head count. I guess it doesn’t really matter how many people are going but it’s way mroe fun if you have a few people at least.

Llary might still be coming…but he usually doesn’t show even when he says he will (unreliable white folk), I’m going and I got a friend of mine who’s coming with me…it’s his first time, but he used to race modified VWs back in America. I think Nonsequitor might still be coming…he doesn’t seem to mind racing while hungover.

And if you speak Chinese I can introduce you to the regulars there who I am pretty good friends with.

There are a couple of guys who are a lot heavier than I…and still manage to beat me. My weight isn’t my only advantage…thankyouverymuch.

Hey guys…thought you might find this interesting…I did a 40 second lap (35,36 is our norm) yesterday at the go-kart track and got it on film: one.revver.com/watch/109189

except for the fact that you have to log in at revver…

Sorry, fixed it…no login required for link now: one.revver.com/watch/109189

not bad… now it’s time to get some mods done to the swift to actually make it swift… then you should be able to keep up with your go-kart time… wonder if the old swift GTiR engine would fit in?

it’s a good little car, but too small for my family oriented needs… and if i need performance… that’s what two wheels is for :smiley:

I like the track. Looks like a mixed bag of open and closing radius corners. If someone blows it it looks like they’re going to skip across the grass and into oncoming traffic though.

Thanks for the peek.

Well, it looks like we’re going to be rained out tomorrow… :frowning:

Mordeth, here’s one for you and your paintball outing! :stuck_out_tongue:

It was supposed to rain today too…but it didn’t. I’ll see how it looks tomorrow.

EDIT: Only 30% chance of rain in Hsinchu…that means 70% chance of no rain. Should be fine.

30% chance of rain tomorrow… looking good. Those who would like a ride from Taipei and back please give me a call either tonight or tomorrow morning after 9am. Pickup will be at the usual Howard Plaza Hotel on the corner of Fushing and Ren-ai roads. 10am sharp! We leave at 10:15am.

Cheers!

My phone is: 0916-810-679

Taht was an old post…the 30%…for Hsinchu I think it’s 0% chance of rain for tomorrow. And I think 0% is less than 30%…but I could be wrong…math isn’t my strong point.

Dunno about the 0% chance :smiley: This is Taiwan we’re talking about here! :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m working ~~ :frowning:

Anyone else going today?

I was trying to find someone who wanted to go with me in my car. It feels wasteful using a car by myself. If anyone lives near Chung-Li and wants to go some other time…just send me a PM through here.
