366. Sepang track day

Reached KL last nite and immediately disaster struck. My exhaust was leaking. So had to get that fixed. Problem was it's too late a nite and they can't do it. Arrrggghhhhh!!!!!!! I'm left carless! Darn it, after coming all the way here.

Lena took pity on me and offered her Kancil. I initially thot against it as I might ruin her car. Alas, temptation was too great. I'll baby her car on the track, as long as I get to go on track and learn the lines. Chong offered his car to me as well, but I turned it down (though very reluctantly) coz I figured he'd want to enjoy the track too. Appreciate the gesture though.

Well, woke up bright and early and headed over to the Dengkil rest stop to meet up with all the guys, then headed to the Sepang F1 Circuit. Didn't know what to expect, especially that now I'm driving a kancil :)

We reached the circuit and immediately registered ourselves. We're allocated 3 sessions for the day. About 15mins each with an hour breaks in between. As it turned out, I had a really good time. It was well organized and everything went smoothly. I'd definitely do this again. Seems like the next session is in June. :)

All of us at the track:
(Standing L-R))Dennis, Jack, Adrian, Chong, Lai, Roy, Nicholas
(L-R) Me, Tony & Wood

Got back to Sunway area at 3ish, collected my car from the workshop. It costs me RM420 just for them to screw in a screw. Screwed I was. Apart from being the track clown (everyone wanted to take photo with my kancil), the RM420 bill became the joke of the day. One day, I'll be able to look back at this and laugh.....one day....some day.

We had dinner at Marché Movenpick, was really looking forward to the hearty meal after a long day. At nite, the guys decided to party at the Loft. I had enough fun for today already, so I'll pass. Some of us just decided to chill at Starbucks. After that, we just walk over to our hotel.

My Random Thots:

Well, did 3mins 30secs on the track, not exactly blazin time, but pretty darn good for a kancil. :) Was really glad that I went ahead anyway. Didn't think I'd have as much fun as I actually did. Thanks Lena for loaning me your car. Thanks to Chong also for offering and the rest of the guys who had to wait with me while I get my car sorted out. Overall, this was a really pleasant trip. Oh, I'd like to thank God, my mom, all my friends and people who believed in me......bla bla bla.
