Embarassed


Needless to say when Prime, Funk, Dox, DEye, & Azuriel really showed up there was no way in hell I was going to approach them! Funk finally asked if I was waiting for someone.

We really didn’t have any komplaints complaints about the rides, except one minor nibble from D Eye, which we’ll discuss in a few…


So what is this minor nibble

The Winston-Salem Nimrod Chapter had the pleasure of heading over to Raleigh on Valentine’s Day for a meet-and-greet with Troyski. We decided that the best way to deliver Troy’s GameStop gift card – his prize for winning our Super Bowl pool – would be to hand it to him in person! Horribly shocking, yet utterly refreshing.

Troy suggested we meet at a place called Rush Hour Karting just south of Raleigh, not too far from his home. Us Winston Folk hadn’t driven Go Karts in a great long time. Funk, D Eye, Aezuriel, and ParadoX piled in the back of my truck for the ride down I-40, all the way to a quaint, fairly nondescript warehouse-looking building. Troyski brought along two of his brothers making for eight in our group; which was perfect for a Sprint Series. The Sprint allowed for a warm-up and qualifier, followed by a 10 minute race. We went through a brief orientation (Safety First, D Eye…) before helmet selection. They gave all of us “head socks” to wear with the communal helmet, and required that we all wear neck braces. Aezuriel topped out the XXXL, but had to make do as XXXXL helmets are a special order kind of thing.

We were seated in the following karts:

One of the cool things I really favored is that they kept us in the same whips from qualifying to our race. We really didn’t have any komplaints complaints about the rides, except one minor nibble from D Eye, which we’ll discuss in a few… Oh, and the Dumba** listings above are Troyski’s brothers Tim and Chris. For these races, the only thing that matters is time. Rush Hour uses your single-best lap time to determine placement. Our qualifying fell out like this:
Place Driver Qualifying Time
1 Troyski 33.626
2 Funk 35.502
3 Dumba** Jr 35.788
4 Prime 36.345
5 Dumba** 37.720
6 Aezuriel 38.017
7 D Eye 38.407
8 ParadoX 43.928
Troyski really was hard to catch! Funk was riding his rear almost the entire qualifier, until I T-Boned him on the rib crack* corner. We were both on a hot lap, so that little mishap really dragged us down. Also, I can’t write this post without pointing out the irony of D Eye besting ParadoX. For non-Nimrods, y’all needn’t read too far into it. For Nimrods, though, I expect y’all are rolling on the floor right about now. The Sprint Race results a a wee harder to decipher, so we’ll be posting the final results as soon as they’ve been clarified. ]]> Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:24:27 -0700
