I was looking over the times from the 10 Dec MiniGP and yesterday's races. The lap times seem to have dropped dramatically since December. On the order of 2.5-3.0 sec/lap. I know they changed the track layout a little since before Christmas, but I wouldn't think it would account for that much time. Maybe the karts got a good overhaul: tires, clutches, etc.

Anyway, I thought it was some good racing last night. There were 3 of us dicing it up for all 40 laps on my first race and it was all very clean. In the second race (C Class) I was lucky enough to get on pole and was able to get off the front while everyone else was jockeying for position. I was racing hard for all 40 laps of each race and I have the bruises on my ribs to prove it Speaking of bruises, I noticed some folks with some padded vests. I think I need to invest in one those. Any idea where I can find them?

Cheers,
