I had a fairly ok weekend which started out with some meetings with people connected to my-kart. The first meeting didn’t go well as there was a mis-match in expectations from both sides.
The second meeting on Saturday was alright, but I went to the wrong place. Eventually I got there, but late! I hate being late. Anyway, the second meeting was in relation to my-kart’s Racing For Children initiative. We are getting one step closer to getting the project off the ground. So that’s good.
Anyway, then Ju and I went looking at some houses in Bukit Jelutong. Nice. But expensive. Hmmm…. must work on the money generator machine.
So it was back home to watch the first F1 race of 2006. Let’s see how BMW and Jacques Villeneueve fares this year. Not so good it seems. Qualifying was average mid grid kind of show, so not a complete disaster… but rather the middle of the road performance that you rather not have. The race was not so good either… with Hiedfeld slipping down the order after a first lap spin. And then Jacques’ BMW blew up spectacularly. Haven’t seen those in a long time. What will happen in the next race?
As for the A1GP – Alex Yoong qualified in a best ever 4th place at Laguna Seca. But sadly, the conditions for the sprint race was torrid with heavy rain causing Alex to spin down the order. The feature race was slightly better as Alex managed to claw back to 10th. This drops Malaysia back down to 10th in the championship standings. Aargh.
Not a great weekend from a racing standpoint. Let’s hope the Malaysian GP weekend next week is better. For now, go and read some info on classical music.
