a Review - Personal Critic

This is how it end after 10 races in Plentong Kart Track
for 2009. I had 43 points.

But what does all that mean?

Not much, frankly.

A quick review of the year 2009 will see the earlier part of
the year been bad because of race accidents, settings issues
and even engine problems...etc

Then when I feel I could race more competitively with
KP's kart, the engine gave way. mellow.gif

However, it gave me a glimpse of what I can do with a better
chassis and a better engine. Basically, I realised if I do want to
do better I need better equipment.

So arrived brand new GP10 chassis! ButI struggled somewhat
with the settings. Even worse was when I hurt my ribs pretty
badly.
Six weeks out. Can't run, can't swim, can't even sleep properly...
During then, I did not really realised how much fitness was
lost until I started to race in the last 2 races. It was tough.

Have to pick up the pace through more running and
swimming.

During which I also constantly looked to improve the
chassis settings, and the driver skill, technique nod.gif

I think slowly and painfully the overall package had
improved during the period of time.

But make no mistake, there is still so much more to be
done in improving my own technique and understanding
the equipment.

I think I will have to move on from just focusing in driving
to Racing. Race Craft.

To improve in racing, I guess I have to say out loud to myself,
' i'm no good in racing!! '
' i have to prepare to take more risk '
' i want to overtake '
before a race and have my own mentality ready for a race.

At times, I feel or being retold to me that I may be too 'gentle'
on the track.

Perhaps I am... but I will be sure to adjust that attitude a little
once the green flag dropped the next time out. wink.gif

Yes, that will be one of the main point to improve in 2010
along with the rest

A tougher mentality.
A meaner attitude.
A 'I Wanna Win' way thumbsup.gif

I will take this opportunity to wish everyone who chance upon
this humble blog of mine Merry Chirstmas! Happy Holidays!

cheers!
