Hey! waytogo.

Well, today, I spent a half hour on each of my problem tracks and took my handicap from 62 to 44! My 1:29 at Mosport turned into a 1:25, my 1:25 at Kyalmai turned into a 1:23, my 8:57 at the Ring turned into an 8:51, my 1:32 at Monaco went to a 1:29, and my 1:10 at Watkins Glen turned into a 1:07.

Looks like I got A LOT of work to become an average GPL Player on GPL Rank. I'd just love to be in the top half and be above average :) Thanks, Alex

It wasn't too bad. I'd estimate the braking point, then I'd figure out if I'd need to brake later or earlier and just fine tune it. I got the driving down, so I just needed to get the braking points right! They should make a minors cup, then I can really see where I stand!

Trust me, you will. My times are only descent because I have a good memory so I can fine tune my braking points and I watch how my dad trailbrakes.

Hehe. When I was 9 I was the ultimate slider in GP2. I'd set the grip real low and see how much I could slide through the corners and catch it with my brand new T2 wheel :) I wish I was 9, then I could brag even more :) But then I couldn't drive the faster karts.

That's the one... not listed on GPLRank, unfortunately. Probably hasn't mastered all the tracks yet (probably a good thing, come to think of it). C'mon Tony... get your kid cracking at producing a time at all tracks... make 300+ grown men cry. <g> Jan./MikeyRank anyone? ;-)) =--- EldredP wrote...

Who said it would be me doing the cutting? <g> Be my guest however... look for JayVee or Obi-Jan. I'm not on there much though, at my age (30) one regretfully has to do other things besides GPL sometimes. Jan. =--- Alex Kihurani wrote...

I'd like to see how Mikey ranks against me :) Oh, I just put my Rouen time from 2:01 to 1:59, and my Mexico time from 1:54 to 1:51. I still need to improve my time by a second at Spa Fracorchamps and 1 tenth of a second at the Glen to beat Eldred in everything :) Thanks, Alex "getting cocky" Kihurani Jan Verschueren <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

No, the "Mikey" we were talking about is Tony Rickard's son, not you. I've given up on GPL for a while because I'm not getting any better right now...
