Sorry, I cant really pay full attention to what is going on in the chat but if you PM the names I'll have a look. Me and Franky should be able to take care of whatever shenanigans people might come up with! :)

[rockclan]

Hope no1 is having a heavy crash atm. :Looking_a

I'm really hoping that Team 7 wins, not only because of Arox, but because my favorite number is 7. I'm not called Rocky7up for nothing. :D

I blame Franky! Also TVE has been swearing a lot on track today, must've rubbed off on me. :thumb: Still we're having many many beers and a laugh afterwards...

[franky500]

Jason, you've got some teams around the wrong way. Team 6 was Bob, Franky, Arox and Brood. We finished 9th and 6th.

Franky went to bed hours ago but this must be his laptop as I'm logged in as him. I'd abuse the moderator priveledges but unfortunately I'm used to them.

I'll go tea bag him in a minute.

Bed soon

meh it was me, edit it "driver of the day" :smileypul

[Jordan2007]

I notice never to come to a kart meeting as Bob Smith will probably touch me when he's drunk.

He's probably to drunk to remember this tomorrow, There was no need for asking me if i had smooth or hairy balls, Thank-you :D

[prOmo_LTU]

(06:11) lfskartmeet : HELLO LAYRUS YOU C***
(06:11) lfskartmeet : dunno who you are tbh

Why hello to you too :P

[der butz]

Status Report:

1 day after the kart race we've sent TVE away to watch some planes. Sadly he disappeared in one and is now on his way home. Dan has also just left, so Becky and me are the only ones left for a "who is more knackered" -competition.

Thanks to everyone who was there, and especially Jason, who managed to stuff his house with about 40 drunk fellas and even gave his own bed away and slept on the sofa!

I couldn't have had more fun with you guys, was a brilliant weekend!

greetz and get home well all of you!

der total kaputte butz

[Nick A]

Thanks Jason and friends/family for another awesome weekend. It was great to meet everybody again and the karting was a blast.

I'm expecting thousands of photos again so I've whittled mine down to 20-odd, though I'm happy to post more if anyone's interested. The one of Brood and Becky staring each other out on the main straight is a classic!

Enjoy, and hopefully see you all again next year.

[peterules]

Nice pics - need to get rid of my gut lol

Can't wait to see Daves (Cargames) photos with that camera which was almost as tall as him! :o

It was really good not to rush around at 5am this year on the saturday and stay in Wales for a bit, also great to see some of the guys back at Jasons gaff :)

Still recovering and hurt all over :nod:

[Becky Rose]

I didn't take any pics of the racing, but I have some other pics from the weekend, enjoy :O)

Is it just me or does Becky look like she is getting ready to murder someone. :D

[Töki (HUN)]

Great pics, Becky! :D My fave is TVE and the Scirocco :tilt:

[danthebangerboy]

Well im home now, an excellent weekend which was very enjoyable, good food, good drink, good company, the karting was obviously epic too!

Thankyou arox123 for the brutal t-bone shot which resulted in an industrial sized bruise too, but i caused it by locking the rear up coming into a turn when arox was planning an overtake, so i ended up parking myself side on with the front of the kart against the tyres when arox was probably less than 3 feet away from me, so he had nowhere to go apart from through me. :thumb:

Huge sums of thanks princess bexter for very kindly doing the driving there and back, and to jason for throwing his home open to all of us drunken lunatics and his brilliant hospitality all weekend too, you are an excellent host my friend, turkey is a legend! :thumbsup:

Unfortanately, due to me exceeding my fair use policy (crappy 3g dongle) all i can do on my pc is browse the web, no downloading files, uploading files, or watching videos, so my various vids of drunken people from saturday night will take a little longer than i had hoped to get them online, i will be comandeering mum and dads pc for that. :nod:

Thanks again everybody for what was a brilliant weekend! :nana:

[Bob Smith]

Split event talk off in to a new thread, as per usual. Sorry to anyone I might have offended on the chat Sat night, piss taking probably ran away with me. There is a reason I don't post while drunk!

Racing was good though, sadly there was a couple of slow karts but there's little you can do about that. Lots of close battles, some hard crashes, a couple of red flags (seems somebody accidently destroyed a tyre wall.... *whistles innocently*), gritter karts and even a flying karts (albeit briefly).

Nice to see so many friendly people, many regular faces and a few new ones too. Scandinavians are mostly mad. Great to see so many from abroad in general.

Thanks again to Jason for putting us up and all the bbq food. How I loved that chicken.

I think most of us who where there don't really get why people who where not present are bitching at each other in this thread :shrug:.

/end saysitall

-*-

I have had a marvellous few days, introducing Tor to the British local, "they come in pints!?" with Dan, meeting Der Butz, distracting Jasons Dad with crab fingers, making out with the pool table, descovering the long lost rally pack to name just a few of the highlights.

Jason is a true legend of the LFS community, his generousity and kindness is an inspiration to us all.

-*-

My team had a very good first race, all of us raced well and didn't make any mistakes. It was a tough race and very physical and a real challenge, i'm so delighted that my boys did good. Despite the mocking comic strip above, they all drove faultlessly.

We had some attrition issues in the second race, so we're pretending it didn't happen.

-*-

I hope to see you all again next year.

Love, Princess Bexter.

[BreadC]

im home now too :)

franky and arox prob still on teh tube somewhere as i dropped em at T5

Don't worry, Fel is pulling the IP's and they are going to match to forum accounts,
and it isn't hard to open two different browsers and have two different names in the same chat, besides whether you was a different name or not you was still being offensive under brt900 name.

[danthebangerboy]

My videos are being uploaded as we speak, although they all seem to be of the drinking at jasons, no karting at all! :D

Do we have any luck as yet with regard to a picture with everyone named, as all my vids have a few names plus lots of ??? as im not sure who's who and i would like to add everyone who was captured into the description at some point, ill just edit em in once i know. :shy:

ok then, i know it wasnt me so i dont care

[adamlfs]

Hey all, got home around 6:30-7:00pm

Would like to say a massive thank you to Jason, you are a legend. Had an amazing weekend, and met some great new people.

Journey home was interesting...

We followed Breadc, Franky and Arox to the M4 and on the way we had some fun :P Gotta love Dual Carriage ways. The lot of them were filming most of it, so im sure you guys will see it on Youtube soon.

Had a bit of traffic on the M25 but all in all a good smooth journey home.

Can't wait to see the video Passo will make and the pictures that Cargame.nl took.

Just damn sorry to Mr Butz and co I didn't get to say goodbye :( I went to bed lol

[danthebangerboy]

ok then, i know it wasnt me so i dont care

To be fair brt, i don't think any of the rest of us do either, this thread is supposed to be about the meet, not about what xxx said to xxx over a live stream chat or whatever, does it really matter that much??

Eeeenyway, videos are all up, although some may look a bit blocky as they may well not all be fully processed yet.

We have, a couple of drinking games, how many people can be shoved through a serving hatch and pool table wrestling.

Will do, just give me a couple of hours to get off this bloody train...

[danthebangerboy]

Oh yeah shi... thats a long way to travel :schwitz:

No worries, i have managed to work most of them out from pics of the last 2 years, just the odd one or two i cant remember. :Looking_a

EDIT: Here's the bruise i caused myself to get from arox :eclipseeh

http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac9/clarkey1984/bruise.jpg

Im sure i will live :D

[franky500]

I am back!,

Gag, i managed to secure some munchies for the journey, Arox was last seen getting off the tube at earl's court.

Was an enjoyable weekend, But now i really wish i had not tried to get some sleep last night as it sounds like i missed some important moments!.

Will post again with some FTP details for some storage space shortly.

Right now i need to collapse!

[cargame.nl]

Special thanx to John Hilton, our driver during the weekend.

Managed to catch our plane just in time. And I really mean -just- in time.

Because I putted my harddisks in my hand luggage with my pillow it got a special bomb check as well :shrug: :D

Rudolfa was amazed that I do almost everything to delay a flight LOL

--
A big thanks for Jason of course for arranging the weekend... Really enjoyed it!

[The Very End]

I am so wanting to hide under a rock after watching these movies..

And I just wanted to say sorry for beeing a completely bastard, I blame Bob's "wonder drink" :(

Jason - great event. I'd happely join a other any time, and I am sorry I could not be there to clean up today.

Good laugh seeing the pictures...

----------------

The event:

It was great. A lot of known and unknown faces, and I had a real good time. Becky beeing kind letting me sleep at her place and driving be half across England is really kind, and I ow you a BIG thanks! Also we were the fastest team wwehey! Thanks to Dan and Der Buttz for that aswell. Also Becky you were the fastest in our team, way to go girl!

Der Buttz - your a nice chap, very kind and funny lad. I hope to see you more. On the track you were fast. I envy your ability to not get hangovers, can I haz one?

Dan - Thanks for a fun weekend! I personally hate you for the videos, but I guess beeing a retard (me) is shown best in movies 'aye? ;) On the track you were good, you did not spin and the consistency of yours helped us taking the win in race 1.

Franky - Your a good lad, and I really apreciated the discussion we had last night, got to know you a lot better then, and some prejudices I have thought about your way doing things have been liftet. Good we sorted that out, wankface :)

Bob - I failed, thanks to you. First you give me drinks, then ...well I don't even know how it started, but you raping me on the pool.
Was fun getting a little more known to you, and I had a great evening. Sorry for the kicks in the face, I did mean no harm by those, just..drunk legs does what drunk legs wants.

Felplaced (right spelled?) - Thanks to you and your other swedish people there. You were very fast on the track, and very much fun on the evenings. Forgive my shitty language, and I hope to challenge you on the track some day.

There are a lot of people that deserves a thank and sorry I guess, but for everyone I did not remember to write: THANK YOU! It was a great weekend, we had a lot of fun. I hope seeing you more at a later time!

PS: Where is the rallypack?

can't belive i got you there on time!!! :thumbsup:*




*70mph max speed :schwitz:

[Mp3 Astra]

I cannot believe that you got to the airport on time. That is pretty amazing.

As for the event, I'll be doing my traditional montage this week.

Many thanks to Jason for once again being a brilliant host; providing us with all the food/alcohol required for good tiemz.

[cargame.nl]

I got a first class seat because the plane already was full, Rudolfa said to the cabin crew that someone else still was underway :)

Somehow the stewardesses wanted to give me an extra feeling that everything was OK.

The guy right next to me was not amused .. Everytime when I wanted to look through the window he holded his book he was reading in my path of view. Really funny behavior.

[BreadC]

glad u guys made ur plane!!

id like to thank jason and SR too. awesome host allround nice guys!

:thumbsup:

[felplacerad]

The Swedes safely made it back home! Including Mike who is now able to be with his beloved Anna during the delivery! :)

Time for me to return to reality, or to be more precise, the bed since I've got work in the morning! Will post again tomorrow!

*falls asleep*

[Andreas B]

We're home alright yeah, i just want to thank Jason and family for the great hospitality!

And to the rest of You all:

Watch out, I might be out there somewhere!! :ernaehrun

[Mackie The Staggie]

Been back for over an hour or so, needed to get some food in :D

First of all, thanks to Jason for putting us up (again) and getting this sorted, hospitality second to none. Also thanks to my teammates who managed to put up with a slow fat Scotsman (not DC either) and we put up a good show despite our problems.....and it wasn't just the fat Scotsman either.

The race was good, Franky and myself had a great battle in the first race swapping place positions lap after lap. It was so much fun it was a shame to see his number get called in for him to pit.

There were some moments when some of the racing was a bit susceptible but I suppose with 37 drivers there was always going to be some issues now and then and overall the quality of racing was good.

I have over 700+ photo’s to download and sort through, but on holiday tomorrow so it can wait till then....I need my bed very shortly.

[danthebangerboy]

I think i am needing my bed also, been to my local pub (and workplace) tonight since about 8pm, its amazing how p!ssed you can feel from not much beer when tired and drained as im sure all of us karters are ATM, only had 6 pints and i feel like im off the bleedin planet! :Looking_a

ZZZZZzzzzzz time methinks!

[boothy]

Home finally after two 8 hour train journeys, about 9 hours sleep in total, cuts, bruises and sore everything, but it was a good weekend and great to see new and old faces, thanks for putting it on once again Turkey son :D:thumbsup:

Nice to see Dave and Rudolf get up to Liverpool in time, I'm sure John will be invoicing you the speeding fines :razz:

See you all in 2011 :thumb:

Oh and have a group photo (hope I got the Swedes right) :schwitz:

Thankyou SO much for that mr booth, my videos now have zero amount of ??? in them, thanks again, legend my friend! :nod:

[Storm_Cloud]

Back safe and sound. Great to meet everyone for the first time. Racing was really good and made up we got 2nd in the enduro.

Thanks to Pete and Nigel for the lifts. Unending thanks to Jason for being such a generous host and excellent organiser! A couple of things to remember to do next time:


Beat Pete at pool;
Ask Count Bazeley if he is a real Count;
Win;
Drive down so we can do a Petrol vs Diesel Top Gear Challenge against Pete;
Offer to tidy up.

[peterules]

Ask Franky for some tips on the pool lol he's the only one that managed to beat me i think :Looking_a

I'm a bit gutted that Lisa's camera broke on the day though, but will never forget the 6 hour journey :)

[CSF]

Did she have to go in the back so the legend could have pride of place in the front? :D

[Andreas B]

...(hope I got the Swedes right) :schwitz:

Yup, You got us all right! :thumb:

[peterules]

Did she have to go in the back so the legend could have pride of place in the front? :D

Yup - Plus i was scared he was gonna break his back trying to get in the back lol! (hope the old guy don't read this) :p

[tongey]

It was a great day. Karting was great, accomodation and food was great, and the BBQ was 1st class (because I cooked it LOL :thumb:)

Well done to Jason again. Thanks for organising mate, was another great success.

A silver medal in the sprint race for me, Paul, BreadC and Daniel. This was one better than last year' bronze, so next year I want a Winners medal :D

Well, it is 2 days later and I am still having difficulty moving without my legs and arms screaming in complaint :em31:

Looking forward to next year though :thumb:

I also tried to record some telemetry using my phone's GPS but the resolution wasn't good enough. If anyone wants to have a look it's here though (click on end to show some almost useful summary stats):

Feature race:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=115242335544429671557.00048c31136b204e7185c&t=h&z=18

Wow, that is a nice quality from such a cheap and small camera! Can I know what exactly is it? If you would stick it to the helmet properly, would be nice onboard IMO.

And that telemetry won't be probably much accurate by what I saw how google tracked the way you go lol (completely different every lap seems like).

I didn't take any pics of the racing, but I have some other pics from the weekend, enjoy :O)

Nice :thumbsup: comics talent :D

Eeeenyway, videos are all up, although some may look a bit blocky as they may well not all be fully processed yet.

We have, a couple of drinking games, how many people can be shoved through a serving hatch and pool table wrestling.

[1993weeman]

Well i got back last night but never had the time to post anything. Just want to say thanks for such a great weekend i really enjoyed it and thank you Jason for accommodating us in your amazing house. And also thank you for organising all this its greatly appreciated.

I am sorry to jasonl220 Rudolfa and boothy for having to put up with my awful driving and i blame myself for not getting better positions :)

Also sorry to Bob Smith who i spun in front and he couldn't do anything about it except go straight into me for a head on crash.

Ah and my crash which i did find fun in ways. Just brake failure is not great at all and really overall going into a tyre wall at a high speed sideways ain't that amazing either. But at least i think i got the biggest crash of the day :D

Thanks again it was great fun meeting some really nice guys


:thumbsup:

[KayJay]

Thanks everyone for making this a weekend to remember. A special thanks to Jason for organising the event and allowing all of us to stay for such a cheap price. I must have drunk more than my fair share of beer! Finally I'm a winner at last! :D

I'm now in work feeling sorry for myself as I still feel the pain!!! Why does everything still ache? I wouldn't change a thing though.

My full speed tyre crash were not that smal either, but don't think anyone filmed or saw that, since from spectators veiw it was behind the building. Hurt much getting a wheel at full speed up your crouch :p

Thanks Jason for a great weekend with gokarting and food/drinks evrything was great.

See you all soon.....

Hey I'm sorry I hit you! Maybe I could have tried to drive around you rather than just brake as that clearly didn't help much. You were certainly far more bruised than I, but that may been from the next corner. Do you know what caused the brakes to fail? Brood managed to snap the cable in one of our karts.

Mike - we all want to see photos of you baby when the time comes now. Hopefully you won't plan any more little excursions in the next couple of weeks. :)

[cargame.nl]

Those helmet cams need to be placed on the kart itself, the next time.

[boothy]

I didn't bring my actual camera (probably should've but meh) so here's some random ones from my phone, and err, my souvenir left hip :x

Just got back about an hour ago. Had a great time, even more so than last year.

Highlights for me include:
Passo trying to put up his tent.
Meeting the legend that is Storm Cloud/Dave (top bloke).
The throttle sticking on my kart, thankfully I managed the situation quite well and got back to the pits riding the brakes.
M4 fun with Bread, Franky and Arox.
Epic bruise on my left elbow which measures approx. 12cm.

Thanks to Jason for hosting, Passo and his family for giving me a place to stay on Thursday and Sunday, Adam for driving us to Wales and back and everyone else for an awesome weekend.

:)

Firstly, thanks to Jason (and family) for going miles above and beyond the call of duty and giving us a great weekend for the second year running.

In the car on the way back we were discussing the quality of the drivers and in particular in comparison with the previous year - much improved overall we felt.

Those helmet cams need to be placed on the kart itself, the next time.

At £8 a pop next year we might as well all chip in a few quid each and stick several around the track - on the apex's and walls etc...

Oh, cargame were you the chap wandering around in a black leather jacket taking pics most of the weekend?

You may find you have a picture of me sticking a figure up at you - it's not personal - just an in joke whenever there is someone with a camera - that only NickA would appreciate.



And that telemetry won't be probably much accurate by what I saw how google tracked the way you go lol (completely different every lap seems like).

Blimey! You should have seen mine - more like a spider's web - by comparison's Nick's was brilliant!

You're right though, the GPS resolution on these isn't quite cutting it yet the average speeds and max speed look about right though and show the slow kart in action - a full 5mph slower on average!


Special mention to the pool table frolicking - I hope you're happy you screwed up my game of pool (with dollarek I think) with only an easy black left for me to win.


And a mention to Bob Smith for snuggling up to me on the sofa and saying "hello darling" and then attempting to squeeze another man's nipple - top bloke!


P.S. I should probably confess at this point (given the technical bods will work it out anyway) that it was I that was "tit1" "tit2" and "tit3" posting in the chat room on friday night - apologies if I offended anyone but it was great fun!

My favourite moment was posting that I wondered what action was going on behind the camera to which danthebangerboy shouted "There's a wall behind the camera you ****" Brilliant!

I did do a good deed by returning his jumper left at the kart track so hopefully I'm forgiven.

See you all at the next one!

[The Very End]

Good! I could try to make some sort of meeting over at my parrents place. They have rebuilded a old farm, should be possible having many people there (30-40np, sleeping space for around 20-30). Then we could have social weekend with drunk brawling.

Not far away from airport and such either (roughly 45 mins from one), and within 1 hour there is North Europe's biggest kart track aswell.
More here, sadly only on norwegian:

Edit: And rofl, sorry for that pool table game :D

My favourite moment was posting that I wondered what action was going on behind the camera to which danthebangerboy shouted "There's a wall behind the camera you ****" Brilliant!




I had all but forgotten that i said that, glad you liked it! :D

Thanks for returning my jacket as well, top bloke! :thumb:

i like your idea about the cameras as well, we may well need a laptop present to set up alignment of them and stuff, but i doubt that will be too much of a problem lol.

[cargame.nl]

I'm not really quickly offended. I'm used to some strange pictures of myself. If your inner is in balance the outside does not really matter (well a bit, but it's less important :) )

Good, my zip will be available when I'm bored with the Facebook thing.

[peterules]

@ tor... Full fart på Vamoen - are you sure you want us to take part in that lol

[1993weeman]

My full speed tyre crash were not that smal either, but don't think anyone filmed or saw that, since from spectators veiw it was behind the building. Hurt much getting a wheel at full speed up your crouch :p

I actually saw that crash as i was right behind you when you got pushed over i think into the tyre wall. yeah i have to say that crash didn't look great and the marshal's took ages to get to you :P

Hey I'm sorry I hit you! Maybe I could have tried to drive around you rather than just brake as that clearly didn't help much. You were certainly far more bruised than I, but that may been from the next corner. Do you know what caused the brakes to fail? Brood managed to snap the cable in one of our karts.


Its alright, when i saw you coming round i pretty much knew you wouldn't be able to do that much about it, just got ready to get hit. And yeah the next corner didn't help me. I think when you hit me the collision snapped my brakes so when i went to push the brakes there was nothing. That's what am thinking.

[The Very End]

Haha, well that can be misleading :D
On my language - yes, yours - well..sure why not? :p

Edit: Weeman - yes lol, I was cursing and shouting while swining my arms like an idiot, but they tok like two-three laps before even trying to get me out lol!

[Becky Rose]

Edit: Weeman - yes lol, I was cursing and shouting while swining my arms like an idiot, but they tok like two-three laps before even trying to get me out lol!
Well that's because the marshalls where from "Torfaen" ;P

Haha, I love that name, silly Englishmen (I meant ofc. also the parts we were visiting, more corret term would be UK I guess) and their names :)

Edited Becky :p

[Becky Rose]

Haha, I love that name, silly Englishmen and their names :)
*facepalm* You do know what country you have just visited, don't you?

[danthebangerboy]

Its alright, when i saw you coming round i pretty much knew you wouldn't be able to do that much about it, just got ready to get hit.

Pretty much what i did when i spun it coming into the chicane..

Im not brilliant at that section at the best of times, but i knew i only had a lap or 2 left before changeover and i really didnt want to lose another position so i thought it would be a good idea to push a bit harder and drive more defensively, which lead me to try and out-brake arox, which didnt work, i misjudged it and braked just slightly too hard, combined with having only done 1/2 a lap after the red flag we had when breadc went tyre destroying lol, which meant the tyres had lost what little heat they had, brakes had cooled somewhat, meaning they were more 'bitey, which i failed to take into account, and i spun it.

Arox was no more that 3 or 4 feet away from me as it spun, i guess he was setting up an overtake for when i went hideously wide in the chicane (as i was consistantly doing there, i just cant hit the apex right) but it didnt go to plan for either of us, and i left him nowhere to go but into me.

I was even shouting 'F**K!!!!' as i spun and waited for the bang coz i knew it was coming.

Damn my sucky driving! :razz:

[1993weeman]

The Very End - lol i know i saw you, i passed you like 2 times while you were still in the gravel :P

[peterules]

Everyone take note for next years event, i didn't cause 1 yellow flag in the traditional [SR] Pete fashion :P

Although, I still have the image of one of the marshals jumping out of the way when our brakes failed :)

[count.bazley]

Pete, how the bloody hell do you drive so fast whilst looking behind you all the time? I could have grown stilts and tried going over you and you would have still bloody covered my line! :D

[jasonmatthews]

Well everyone, I'm almost recovered (well not really). Had about 6 hours sleep all weekend, but was well worth it.

I would like to thank everyone for coming and hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I did. Also thanks for looking after my house (apart from the serving hatch stunt which has left a hole in one of my new walls and a bit of repainting to be done :smileypul)

It was great seeing lots of old faces again and also the new ones. If anyone is wondering, arox was a lovely guy and it was a pleasure having him there, more than welcome to come back :thumb:

I think the whole weekend went really well, and seeing how knackered everyone was by the end of the karting, we had plenty of track time even with the increased numbers. The karting itself was a blast, the karts were definitely better than the year before, although there were at least one super fast kart (number 6 in last race), and one slow kart (number 1 in last race). The fast kart didn't matter so much as Franky500 had it :D. but I did feel sorry for the Swedes, who should have said something BEFORE the event finished, as I'm sure the marshalls could have taken a look at it.

My personal karting day went very well. The first race Mark (my brother) got black flagged, then KayJay ran out of fuel, swapped karts, then I did an extra unneeded pitstop, so to come 5th wasn't so bad. In the endurance race we were determined to at least get a podium and drove like a bat out of hell, and I think all 3 of us drove very well, and to finish 4 laps ahead with the win was great!

It was good to see 6 teams take home something from the day, and Franky500 getting the Driver of the Day was a nice, and deserved touch.

Alot of us partied hard on the Friday, and I have hazy memories of Bread getting his ass out a few times on the live stream, which of course he had to better on the Saturday :x The Saturday started off slowly with everyone being knackered, but after a bit of food (thanks alot Tongey for cooking!) and a few beers, turned out to be another legendary night.

On Sunday I missed saying goodbye to a few people, so sorry for that (although I did stay up till 6am). We then had another BBQ, a few more beers and watched the F1 (with LFS style remote and timing). A perfect finish to a great weekend :D

Thanks again to everyone for coming and making it a great Kart Meet, and of course you are all welcome back next year. I have spoken to the missus and she has OK'd it, so if you would all like me to do it again, I'd be more than happy to. It gets easier each year to organise, and it also helps that alot came last time. Next year I want my bed though, not mentioning no names cargame.nl :D

[DavidTiger]

Sounds like great fun :nod:
Watched the live stream for 5 mins or so, wasn't much happening but it was early :thumb:

Maybe by next year I'll have a wheel and join in on some LFS racing :thumb:
as I would love to maybe go next time, just depends on dates/work etc
Also transport getting from Scotland shouldn't be too hard :nod:

[peterules]

Pete, how the bloody hell do you drive so fast whilst looking behind you all the time? I could have grown stilts and tried going over you and you would have still bloody covered my line! :D

It's all about predicting what your about to do and keeping a good line to keep the speed up :thumb:

@ Jason - I can't thank you and your famo enough for letting us have the event for the past couple of years! I think i can speak for all of us that we would LOVE a hattrick of G-Force karting! But don't think of that too much until we have recovered from this year! Wish i could send Lisa around to help you tidy up hehehehe :)

[BreadC]

dont ask a drunk brit to do shit when drunk xD

[felplacerad]

In the car on the way back we were discussing the quality of the drivers and in particular in comparison with the previous year - much improved overall we felt.

I might as well open up that can of forms and come off as whiny, but I, love and behold, disagree! In my most subjective opinion the racing spirit was, at more than one occasion, dreadfully low. I quickly got used to having my rear bumper bumped (once off the track!) in T1, t-boned/dive bombed in the corkscrew as well as the following tight left hander. I, if I may say it myself, am experienced enough to know when I've been fairly beat, then I gladly make room and tip my hat to the person who overtook me, but loosing a position to someone who simply cut your line and push you out of the way spoils the fun and becomes very, very frustrating.

I am not a saint, Becky can vouch for this - But I really think we all could help to improve the fun and racing quality by trying to remember the basics of racing that this sim of ours has taught us! :)

With that off my chest,

Everyone! Thanks for another wonderful meet! :D I had loads of fun at the track as well as at Jason's! It's great to have been able to put a few more faces on the names from the forum and to have made another bunch of friends (I hope! :x).

I will do my very best to attend more meets in the future!

[jasonmatthews]

I agree Thomas, there were two drivers who spring to mind that weren't the cleanest shall we say. One was my son, who had never karted before and didn't understand the CRC rules (to say the least). The other I think was a rush of blood to the head....

Let's hope that it will not be repeated next year, as it did spoil the spirit of the day, and I saw that it was team 1 who seemed to be on the receiving end of most of it :(

Apart from that, I thought everyone else drove with upmost sporting behaviour, except me (see below)

I was about to overtake Dave (stormcloud, my own teammate in lfs), had 2 cars behind, and braked quite late going into the corkscrew. I got it wrong and bumped Dave to the outside. I overtook, said sorry but didn't give the place back due to the 2 cars behind... Really sorry for that one Dave, was a genuine accident with the bump, but I still should have given the place back no matter how many places it cost me..

[danthebangerboy]

I personally cant see any problem at all with divebombing myself, presuming there is no contact of course, a typical racing thing that i for one would expect in something such as karts, quite a common place move i would expect?

I had it done to me plenty of times, but all i could think was, if it was possible for someone to divebomb me then i couldnt have been driving a tight enough line to start with. :razz:

[jasonmatthews]

Well I didn't divebomb as such, it was more like punted him to the outside.

[Mp3 Astra]

Just spent the last 8 hours on the video. It's 11 minutes long! Should be uploaded in a couple of hours. I have to say, I'm very happy with how this video turned out; there's lots of action and some good helmet cams. Thanks to dollarek, adamlfs, brood and NickA who provided me with the helmet footage. :)

EDIT: I reckon the video won't be uploaded until tomorrow because the rendering is going to take around 2 hours, and the uploading itself will probably take a couple more. Good things come to those who wait.

On the subject of driving standards, there was a lot more bumping and ambitious overtaking this year. The video proves it, as does my first-hand experience. I got a tad annoyed while I was driving the slow kart; people had so much more speed than me, and yet still bumped me every time they lapped me! But, that's life. Overall it was still an exciting day's karting.

[jasonmatthews]

Great, looking forward to it, last years was great :thumb:

[cargame.nl]

I am not a saint, Becky can vouch for this - But I really think we all could help to improve the fun and racing quality by trying to remember the basics of racing that this sim of ours has taught us! :)

If I recall correctly, Becky got black flagged for aggressive driving :x

[Becky Rose]

The pace was quicker, the racing was very physical and amongst the toughest I've ever done.

Part of that is because of the nature of racing slow vehicles with wheel surrounds on a tight track. If you put an iron spike on the steering wheel you'll get a different kind of racing.

It could have been cleaner, and probably would have been if the pace wasn't so high.

I expect next year to be tougher still as more drivers will be near the limit. But I don't think standards will improve markedly without going to twin engines where the increased speed will create a different kind of racing.

That's not to condone bad driving, there are limits to what is acceptable and what isn't and that difference isn't always known to less experienced racers.

I'll always go for a gap, I'll always run you wide, I'll readily lean on you - but I'll never deliberately crash you, even in revenge.

That said this meeting is less about the karting for me than it is about seeing my boys again, and what happens on the track stays on the track and is quickly forgotten :)

[peterules]

yay! I hope i get to see the back of my SR helmet in the vid ;)

[Becky Rose]

If I recall correctly, Becky got black flagged for aggressive driving :x

Incorrect. I was black flagged twice for mechanical failures in race 2.

[jasonmatthews]

Seriously tempted to buy a helmet for next year and pimp it up :D

[The Very End]

and what happens on the track stays on the track and is quickly forgotten

This.

I want to appology for two things.

1: Jason, I have a fairly fresh memory of what paint job you are refering to. Let me know how much it costs to fix it, and we'll take care of that. It's not you that should have to pay for drunk guests ruining your house, and you have my full appology, I just got to effing drunk on those ugly drinks from Bob and the big beers :shy:

2: Team 4/6. A lot of bad words were said in the heat of the battle, sorry for letting this go out on you guys, it were not needed nor deserved. The racing were too tough, but at least I should have been a sportman admiting my own flaws and seeing.. well that it's just racing! When battling on both physical and mental limits it's doomed to boil over for someone, and mistakes will happend.

Might aswell do a third sorry for language usage, but it can't be helped, it's a bad habbit that needs to go, but such takes time.

I'll more than happy sign up for more of this stuff, the arrangment were solid and great. Wish Becky's Iphone and Google maps were as solid as it ;)

[Mackie The Staggie]

Also transport getting from Scotland shouldn't be too hard :nod:

Thats what you think, 11 hour journey down, 12 back up.......fecking trains.

Next time I'm seriously thinking about flying down to Bristol then getting the train across, works out the same cost and should be able to cut the journey time down a bit.

[JasonL220]

SR team helmets :D

Incorrect. I was black flagged twice for mechanical failures in race 2.

Ah OK :razz:

I will have to try something different next year also :thumb:

Well, I though everyone were going to run after me with forks and flares when they realized the surprise buttsex a... and..(insert personal joke here)..

Joke aside, ofc I will book later next year. It's such a shame I did not get more time talking with you. I enjoyed our little talk on sunday, and if it hadn't been for that I would been in bed sleeping 22.30 :tilt:

[Becky Rose]

Not for polluting the track?

Ah OK :razz:
Whilst overtaking around the outside through a gravel trap isn't a conventional method, it wasn't what I'd call aggressive. Insane maybe, but it worked.

Likewise I didn't protest being overtaken under yellow.

[franky500]

I enjoyed our little talk on sunday, and if it hadn't been for that I would been in bed sleeping 22.30 :tilt:

I still cannot believe the 3 of us did not notice storm_cloud in the corner until 20 minutes later when Jason told us!.

And i wish i had stayed up later that night, but i have the stream footage so i will have to review that i guess.. although it sounds like theres some bits i need to try and avoid!

[franky500]

Likewise I didn't protest being overtaken under yellow.

not many people did.

Whilst i was doing some timing no fewer than 3 teams that i put the clock on (ours included) slowed down much for the yellows. for instance.

hot lap: 28 seconds, Yellow flag lap: Just under 29 seconds!

although this was later in the 2nd session i was doing this timing and it seems there was a trend going on with almost everybody.

[danthebangerboy]

I will have to try something different next year also :thumb:

Yeah i remember that, just before i went out for my first stint of the day, you stood next to me with your visor down in complete silence (much like the stig would do :razz: ) before lifting it and saying oh sorry, i was trying to be intimidating!

Quality line that was! :thumb:

Haha, yeah!

"There is a dude there you know"
"No there isn't"
"Wait.. what the.."

And I have to agree with Jason regarding Arox, he's a great lad. Very friendly, and he is a beast on the track! Even if he did have a good kart, he did drove extremely well. Also he managed to produce one of the biggest stunts at the track, trying to drive over one of the other karts in the hard turn :D

[franky500]

I cant remember who it was he was running over but i remember them being "dis-pleased" about it.

Arox got black flagged the very next lap, but it was not for that, it was just because his helmet strap was loose lol.

I totally agree, despite the questionable stuff he has posted, and the silly things he has written in the past, he really isnt the same in real life as he could come across by his posting style and content on here, i found him to be a genuinly pleasant lad who knows whats what and had his head screwed on right with a good senisble and logical attitude considering his young age.

Hehe, well, everyone whent apeshit each time something unfair happend, but then the "unfair" is defined by the one beeing hurt / who lost something in the incident(s). I don't think there are any hard feelings. As me and some of the swedish guys said to eachothers - when we get back we'll get so drunk we don't even care, and trust me - that did happend. Speaking on a more normal language I think everyone agrees on that what's happens on track stays on track.

Proves that every man getting behind a computer can be an asshole.
I am sure that when Arox is back he'll be a good lad. I did not speak much with him, but I am just left with good opinions about him after the meeting.

hot lap: 28 seconds, Yellow flag lap: Just under 29 seconds!

although this was later in the 2nd session i was doing this timing and it seems there was a trend going on with almost everybody.
I slowed up more than most under yellow. I followed drivers who stayed flat out. I didn't. I eased off, and I always past the incident slowly (and on full throttle to be fast after it).

Going by laps complete in race 1 28 seconds doesn't sound like a great lap, but then again most of race 2 I was swapping karts and constantly had cold tyres. I recall 1 yellow where Marshall 1 stopped waving the flag and ever me through, but Marshall 2 was putting his flag away as I got to him. No idea if that's the same lap - or if you timed me when I had the kart limited to half throttle.

:shrug:

I wasn't aware anyone had complaints over my driving or conduct under yellow. Seems there is some frustration in this threa though.

Please if there is any incident talk to me about it - preferably soon after it next time. I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong or made an error.

From this weekend just gone I don't recall any such incidents.

[The Very End]

Becky, I think I remember the situation they are refering to.
What's happend was that you passed this guy before a yellow flag post. But it were in between the yellow flag zones. If that should be counted as passing under yellow I don't know. The first flag were on the long straight, then the other were in the tight turn, some people might misunderstood and beliving they were in the zone from tight turn - start/finish since those patchs are side by side.

I don't know, might be a other situation, but that's the only one that seems making sence. But since the marshals didn't manage to wave properly / giving clear signals I don't think you can be blamed for this.

Edit: Sorry for posting this much in this topic, it's just one of the topics that's actually is a good conversation and that brings forth many opinions :)

Edit: A pint for you Jason next time. Sorry for the pool thingy, please let me know if there will be need for some repair on it, I'll cover those :)

[jasonmatthews]

I remember in the enduro race, I had 3 cars ahead by a little distance under yellows. I watched the track ahead, saw the yellows go, and passed all 3.

A totally legitimate move, but the look on their races was priceless :D

Also @ TVE - no price whatsover for repairs to my house as I do all the work myself, and tbh, a little filling and painting is to be expected. If it makes you feel better, you can buy me a pint next time :P

BUT.... If you guys had ripped my pool table, that would be a different story ;)

[franky500]

The fastest lap i timed in the 2nd race was actually 27.53 by Arox, Bob was doing consistant 28.4 - 28.6's and Brood was doing not quite as consistant 27.9's - 28.5's

Whereas i was doing 30.5's on my good laps!

I know your kart was doing an occasional high 27's but mostly 28.2 - 28.4's when you were in it, i remember timing dan doing a few 28.9's

So the 28 - 29 second mark was the pace.

I'm not interested in lap time, especially whilst driing a buggered kart.

Was there an issue with my driving?

[jasonmatthews]

Not that I am aware of.

[BreadC]

tongey timed a few of my laps,

i was doing mainly 28.8 - 30 sec also

[franky500]

not that i know of becky... who said otherwise?

Stormcloud pulled off a few 27's :) but it was mainly 28-30 the norm :)

[jrd.racer]

Shiat, Ive just seen this thread.(well about 30 mins ago). Dam i forgot about this whole kartmeet thing. Wow you guys really seemed to have an awesome time. Ive looked at every vid and pic i could find sofar and its all good. ENVY.

btw. jason how many wheels and PCs you got. and becky go easy with the wheel:D

[cargame.nl]

Arox told me to say that he left his charger.
Lol, all weekend he was caring about his phone and charger and then he forgets it :)

Somebody forgot a helmet camera I think ... And the USB cable somebody gave to me to use it for a moment.

I almost forgot my jacket, which wouldn't be much of a problem but my wallet was in there too :schwitz:

[jasonmatthews]

Great vid, seems like it was more than just the 2 aggressive drivers, but always kart 1 receiving it :D

I have arox`s charger. Ask him to mail me his address.

[dadge]

dont ask a drunk brit to do shit when drunk xDthat's not just a Brittish thing dude. i have a friend who like to "balls out" every chance he gets, once the beers are in that is. atc rogue and i were on our teamspeak when you unleashed eclipse #1. you can imagine the words used lol. the stuff of legends though so fair play bud.
going by the stream alone, i would say that you guys deffinatley had a blast.
i'd be tempted to put my name down for the next one. but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it me finx.

[CrAZySkyPimp]

Marks tent, wtflolpwn

[[SR] Keith]

I may be one of the guilty "aggressive" drivers in the Enduro. :x

In my defence, I was punted off on the first lap which left me nearly a lap down right from the start, so I had to drive like a bit of a nutter just to catch up...

And being in a team with legends like Pete and Dave (StormCloud), I so didn't want to let the side down, so once I caught up with the pack, I came over all Senna and if I saw a gap I went for it. My motto became "if I caught you, I'm faster than you. So GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!" :D

It was me arox ran over btw. He actually drove up my right arm (I have a wound on my elbow where he made the contact :Looking_a and was amazed my arm wasn't broken as it had the full weight of his kart on it at one point) and down my left hand (I almost went to the docs yesterday because I thought my finger might be broke - hurt like hell!). Yeah, I wasn't at ALL happy at the time! :D

To echo what others have said though - in person arox was a lovely guy. Genuinely. I'm starting the campaign right now "Free Arox!" :D

I do apologise to anybody I might have annoyed when driving like a lunatic to make up for lost time. I only got black-flagged once though, for, as Dave put it "an erm... optimistic pass" at the laguna seca corner. :whistle:

By my second stint though, all thoughts of aggressive driving were gone. I think I was whimpering round ever corner and seriously thought about pitting early in order not to die of pure ow. To actually come second after such a bad start, the black flag and my last stint being one big long cry I'm well pleased with (big thanks must go to Pete and Dave for that - who were awesome throughout :thumb:)

The after party was awesome too.

Some highlights for me:
All of it!
Meeting people again/for the first time.
Actually getting to stay and get drunk this year.
BreadBallz!
Dan's one-man rave.
Taking the piss out of the guys on the live chat.
Just watching the antics of TVE/Ben (I think they should get married and have children)
Not being able to beat Franky at pool when I really shoulda!
Drinking slivovivovivovivicich(?) and swapping stories with Ben, derbutz, Bruce, the Swedes Andy (SKOL!) and Mike (got home in time for the delivery \o/ Congrats!!! Boy would your life have been hell if you'd missed it "to go karting with your mates" :schwitz:), and others in the "Welsh Air" (rain to you guys) - very interesting, funny and top guys all.
Tongey's BBQ
And so much more - Yeah - all of it.

Awesome karting, awesome group of people, awesome time.

Thank you to everyone for coming and making it such a success.

Finally, a massive, massive thank you to my li'l brother Jason - I'm sure I don't need to tell you guys how much effort he puts into these. I don't compliment him often (big brother - duh!), but credit where credit's due - You're a legend our kid. ;)

Can't wait for next year.

[jasonmatthews]

Just catch a plane, on these relatively short distances it's still cheap.

We paid 125 Euro for the flight tickets, already a bit expensive compared to the other options (Ryanair) but we booked late and had relaxed flight times (no early morning crap). It's once a year, I couldn't care that much.

[der butz]

Okay, back from hospital. Luckily my shoulder didn't need any huge fix, they just gave me some sedative stuff, cut a 3mm hole in me and hammered the little titanium thing back into me bone. So now the only worry that's still left from the meet is a strange kind of tiredness :thumb:

So once again (and this time with a keyboard layout I actually happen to know pretty well) thanks all of you guys! Jason for letting a germ stay, eat and drink at his villa, Bex for acommodation and the drive, Thuur-olae for just being brilliant all the time, Dan for not looking backwards and being a great team mate, Passo and the photographers, Adam, Franky, BEEEEN, oh, I could really list all of you for having been special and great lads!

It's off to work for me again tomorrow, but should you ever feel the need to visit western bavaria, you'll be more than welcome to stay at my place, honestly!

So, next kart meeting at your house yes? ;)

[BreadC]

yea that shot was erm, not very nice to say the least :P burnt my throat a bit had to down some beer right after to not completly set me on fire lol

[der butz]

Well, we could have played on, the secret to success wolud have been to ask someone else to get off the glass for you :-) By that way I got 3 schnaps AND 3 beers for free in some discos around :-)

I'd sooooooo love to gather all the people from the meet around here, but it'll be much harder in a 3 room flat and quite expensive accomodation around...
3 or 4 of you, no problem at all. 6 or 7 will become slightly stuffed. 40????????? so sorry! We've got a quite nice indoor kart track nearby, 2 small and a big airport, but it'll just be too expensive for most of the people to sleep here.

Well, what about making a LFS camp festival hen? :p 2 days in tents, karting and alco-lol, probally will not be that expensive?

Either way, kart meeting - tell me when and I'll be there.
