Craig 6703 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I did an 3 hour endurance race with work a little while back. Teams of 3 picked at random and we had to take half hour stints. I went first and built up a decent lead and then handed over to the lass in procurement who's only just passed her test. Fuck me if she'd gone any slower she'd have stopped - proper pushing and pulling on the steering wheel Third person in the team was one of the project managers who's a fucking lunatic. We'd all about got it back together and was in 4th when he decided to make a stab for 3rd with a kamakazi move on the pit straight. Ended up destroying the pit wall and handed us a minute penalty so last it was! Still, I still got the fastest lap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15873 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I remember going on a cracking go-karting night with the first company I worked for, over in sunny Mainz. It was pretty much the only bit of fun I ever had in 2½ years there (that didn't involve serious alcohol consumption, anyway). Admittedly, the memory was tainted a little when a trainee doctor friend later informed me that the hospital where he works "gets people in from there with shattered body parts at least once a week" - but then that might just be down to German competitiveness, because lord knows we were pootling around at speeds that your average 6-year-old would scoff at.

I tell you what I'd consider taking my own lid in future - all they do is spray it with the same stuff they do the shoes you wear for bowling so basically it's dripping in the sweat of the person who wore it before you.... You can practically hear the "schlurp" as the thing slides on your head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate had crashed, yellow lights came on so no overtaking, one of the marshals was trying to get him back on his way got him just about out and back on the track, me brother speeds round the corner and crashes into the back of him, the marshal jumped into the air and screamed me mates back was fucked and me brother got "sin bined" for 5 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good deal if you ask me. Went there on a Stag Do last month and it was indeed cracking. Canny funny because there was about 12 of us just taking the piss and another group of lads treating it deadly serious. Good laugh though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7336 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Without meaning to sound like a cunt, are you sure you did 57mph? Ive been karting a few times and the ones ive been on all top out at about 30mph. I would imagine crashing into a tyre wall at 60mph would be good for some internal injuries!
