    I think he needs to stop half assing it and over dub some condescending remarks about how those people shouldn't even be allowed on track with him.

    I can't believe this. I make the subtle suggestion based on sophisticated track timing data that the once great Josh Owens might have lost the edge and be embarking on a downward slide to rock bottom and he tells me to fuck off.

    Nice Josh. Real nice.

    Past Glory I still have several AVON calendars from the 90's

    'josh7owens' can lose all four of the races that are on tap for the "showdown" day for all I care, if 'Robby-Bobby' doesn't beat that lap time, he has to hand over the $1000. Remember, it was 'Robby-Bobby' who enthusiastically embraced the "lap time" wager. Are you implying that 'josh7owens' set a trap and got the best of 'Robby-Bobby'?

    It's that old school advice. Pretend you don't care, then knock on his hotel room at midnight. He'll take you.

    Well tonight was a complete shit show!

    Qualifying
    1st time out 20.177
    Second time out 20.174

    This put me third because the 15 year old kid edged out a 20.169 and this employee that ran with us hand picked his kart and picked the hot kart and ran a 20.067.

    During the race I quickly moved to second place two turns in and was reeling in the employee that was in first. I got within two karts of him and the other asshole employee that was behind me cut the corner short (off race line) and t-boned me. This gapped be away from the first place guy by about 6 karts. After that I closed the gap back to about a kart but couldn't get around him before the race was over. After passing the finish line I put him in the wall. I'd say another two laps and I would of got by him and won but me getting tboned gave him back all the distance that was made up but then the clock ran out and the race was over. During the race I ran a 20.197 and the guy that won couldn't break a 20.3. Which makes sense considering the only reason he was on pole was because of the hot kart he hand picked to do qualifying in.

    I took home a smooth $100 and everyone was pissed at everyone after the race was over due to bumping and dirty driving. I'll post the video tonight or in the morning.

    That's what you do boys when you are the king on your way down. You make all kinds of excuses about why you didn't win.

    Yeah, it's best you stick to running with kiddies in electric carts, you aren't ready for real racing.

    Serious question.

    Can you just lodge a protest or appeal that the employee knew which was the hot kart?

    Seems to me they basically took $60 and bragging rights out of your pocket.

    Unless the manager was in on it also...

    It also sounded like your kart wasn't turning as many rpm as the the guy in front of you.

    Do you think they turned yours down a few hundred rpm?

    Something is fishy.
