Go Karting in Plentong

Yeah!!! Go Kart was fun!!  Went to Go Karting in Plentong, Malaysia.  It was much cheaper than Singapore.  For S$100, you get about an hour of drive, first 2 round, you will be given 15 mins each, and you can complete as many laps as you can.  For the 3rd round, it will be the heat, where you would be given timing and ranking.  The last round is the actual race, you need to complete 12 laps, and the race will stop when first 4 is out.  In Singapore, it is about $30 for 10 mins!

I didn't know how to control the kart, so first lap was moving like a tortoise, and at the first turn, the car died, and i had to get the technican to restart my car...haha what a start!

The 2nd lap was slightly better.  And with more confidence, i tried to be funny, and caused the car to go into the kerb when i turned.  At one of the bend, I almost crashed into a friend, so i jammed break, that was a mistake to break, it cause my kart to spin.  Luckily i did not crash and continue to drive.  I also tried to "drift" and once again, the kart spun...
In the 3rd round, i saw C's car spun beside me, because she committed the same mistake as me, jammed break when she thought she was going to crash into me.
4th round, no more stuns, tried to slow down at the bend..so my overall ranking was 7, out of 10.  Not too bad! :-)

Great fun, don't forget your sunblock and bring your own helmet if you are going.
