KSC Karting

One thing that I'm very sure of, is that I have a passion for racing. I think its in my family blood. I'm quite certain that my dad and uncles all have some genes that revolves around racing. Naturally, we can hop into a car/ go -kart/ bike/ Motorbike...whatever it is with wheels and be able to ride it pretty well.

No one actually thought me about racing lines, braking , trottle control and etc... It just come natural for me <--- cheay!

Now that can be a good and bad thing... The bad thing is that if you develop wrong techniques that you thought was good ...its very hard to unlearn it. The good thing is that, naturally we are better than others no matter how hard they try...LOL.

I think people with natural abilities tend to learn and grasp things faster. Example, I've known people who are naturally good at music...take up a guitar strum the same song...and it sounds so much better that the other person. I call this natural talent.

Then there are those, who are trained to have these 'skill' or talent...but somehow lacks the special something compared to the person with natural talent. But I believe that we all need to continue learning and honing the talents that God has given us. Those with natural talent are ones that I guess God has given a head start. Having said that, if the person with natural talents just sits back and do nothing with it, sooner or later the person who is trained can over take the person with natural talents.

Anyway......few moons ago, I participated in the last KSC endurance race of the year. Here are some pics and will talk more about the race as I show u the pics....

The race started by 'rolling start' meaning everyone must not overtake before crossing the start/finish line. However, things didn't go according to plan some people started overtaking me even before passing the start/finish line.

Me looking good...on turn 1

As the race went by, I was battling for position with Nicholas who is infront of me. This is me sticking to his back as I plan my overtaking manuever exiting the turn...

Ohh yea....in front now.





This is nicholas after the race...see racing is friendly...still friends! haahha

Finished 2nd this time...its weird because we actually crossed the finish line in front of the others. Somethings are hard to explain if you know what I mean.


This is Teck Wei my race partner... He was the fastest man on track that day!
Anyway, was just happy to have won and stand on the podium for 3 times in a row... =)
