LOL, did PKJR deliberately wreck his kart?

More likely scenario would be Michael running into someone deliberately. After all PK jnr has only crashed deliberately once.

For anyone interested in following results, you can find all the practice, qualifying, and race sessions at the link below. The F1 guys are in the "superpro" class.

http://www.superkartsusa.com/supernationals/results/855-supernationals-xiii-mylaps-results.html

In the SuperPro class there are 4 practice sessions followed by a "SuperSession." PK Jr was DQed in the "SuperSession." I wonder why.

http://www.superkartsusa.com/supernationals/results/855-supernationals-xiii-mylaps-results.html?mylaps=type,run,runid,1370927

Probably didn't bother to go through the scales or did so and was underweight. Looks like several of the drivers were DQ'd, probably all for that reason.

I am incredibly jealous because one of the guys I race with mangaged to get himself into the Superpro class and is on track with MS himself. About 1 second off Schuey's pace, though. I'd be about 3 seconds off up to the point I spun into a barrier trying to keep up.

Here are the Heat 1 results from the SuperPro class. MS did not do well and was last of the 3 F1 drivers. He got caught out somehow in qualifying, started midpack, and did not improve his position. In his defense, I can only say that you have not known fear until you've found yourself midpack at a supernats karting race.

Note: Raphael Matos from the IRL was a late entry and finished 16th.

Michael should know more than most of the challenges of kart racing... he does after al own and run a kart racing organisation and racetrack.

I think it just shows he aint up to it any more.

Look at Ronnie White and Matt Jaskol!...and look who is still behind them after the 1st heat! Go Ronnie!

I heard Gary Carlton and Marco got together in the 1st heat towards the end. They were at the front. Too bad. Gary was top 3 in every practice session...and was looking to contend for the win. No way he can come back in this field. Perhaps me makes it back into the top 10....

MS did drive back up to 12th in the 1st heat! I would not call that 'not improving'. 14 passes! That is more than he made in some f1 seasons!

TOPKART...you posted the merged qualifying results to DETERMINE heat 1 start order...not the heat 1 results. HERE are the heat 1 results.

Meanwhile - wow, Buemi got game! Nice to see him doing well.

i've actually been pretty impressed with buemi all year - especially towards the end of the season. definitely nice to see him up there and the highest of the 3 f1 drivers. surprised the f1 drivers aren't doing better than they are though...
