Ok, that's not exactly how Kaar fared at the Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia. Not even close, by the way.
One word sums it up: disappointment.
With such high hopes - so high and heavy, that Kaar wilted not to carnal loads (it weighed a neat 145 kg) but under the weight of these hopes - it was convenient for us not to anticipate problems. That proved to be Kaar's undoing.
There were sideshows of the seat belt (that cost RM 199 and lots of headaches), the fuel tank (a small glass vessel for which $ 218 seem absurd), and the suspension (lightening may strike twice), but before the technical inspection, Kaar seemed to be running perfectly fine.
But when the chain tensioner decided to go on vacation, it all stopped palpitating. The chain came loose. We fixed it. The chain came loose again. We fixed it again.
Just moments before we ran out of time, everything seemed to be working - the starter motor, the spark, the fuel line - but it wouldn't just start. Anyway, Kaar did go through the Safety and Technical inspections ok, but decided it had enough on the slalom. Yeah, BAD.
So, when everyone was away...we sneaked Kaar onto the track...hang on for the pictures.
