Hey All,
Some photos can be found at:

Great to see everyone today. Looked like fun. It's times like this that I curse my geneology! At least i can fit in a MINI!!
Jim

 

WOW Jim! Those photos are awesome! You did something right, with the karts being clear, and the background blurry. I don't know anything about photography, but you rock!!!
Thanks for those,
scott

 

You guys looked like you had an awesome time, sorry I missed it . Great pictures! Love the classic mini photos. I'm going to get one............... someday . Did you guys have to wait to get track time?
I'll catch the next one.

Ya, next time I'll have to make it in time to get into the run group with you guys. I really want to try the place in fremont http://www.lemanskarting.com/

And nikki, my exhaust is jcw...but no resonator and the mufflers are completely gutted.

 

Scott did great for a rookie at this track (as did everyone else!)

 

LMK is alright, I haven't been there in a few months, but when I was, it wasn't "kept" up very well. IMO GKR is better of the two, but if there's a Nikki Run for LMK, I'll be there


ahh... that's why you sounded the way you sounded pulling out of the parking lot.

 

A good time had by all!
Jim took some pics, maybe he'll post them this week.

 

I already posted them on my Photo Page at MSN Groups. See Post #51 above.
See Ya!
Jim

 

Looks like you had some fun. Sorry Heather and I missed it, but the family poped in from out of town. Have to save my driving for the trip to AMVIV.

Catch you all at Nikki run #6

 

Sorry I missed this one but I had to wait at home for a delivery that never came. But I was able to get my GRS, M7 hood scoop and Unichip installed. Hope to have the suspension mods done by the next Nikki run, that is if we get a dry weekend soon.

 

Jim.
You have an amazing talent as a photographer!! Great job!! Guys/Girls, we definately need to do this thing again!!

Hey Thanks!!
I guess you looked at some of my other stuff. The kart stuff was not up to par. Really dark in there ! Was shooting 1/30th wide open at ISO 800.
Jim

 

I was sooooo looking forward to going kart racing with your all and I was soooooo disappointed that I had to miss the event on Suday because of the snow storm that I stopped by GoKartRacer toinght on my way home and drove the Monza track. So nice!! I don't know if you all drove the same track, but my best lap time was 32.85. Did you all drive Monza? If so, how does my lap time stack up with the rest of you thrill seekers?

Thanks for taking the time to post this data! Based upon these numbers, it looks like I would have been in the middle of the pack.
