Greetings all,

I recently participated in a go-karting event organised for our team and got lapped 3 times by everyone. Now though I admit am not that bad, it was just that all of them were very good. I tried hard to compete with the last driver(in front of me of course) since she was a girl but just managed to not get lapped a 4th time. I then heard from friends, read and saw videos about Finns and thier racing history !!! Awesome !!!

That also explains the wide grin on everyones face before the race started, and also the good luck wishes

!!!

NHL noticed also this special genetic talent of Finns, and hired Finnish goalies.

So, Finns are ancient hunters (stereo vision & fast reactions) without social skills, unlike indo-european farmers.

Long time ago I was in Vancouver with my colleagues from Calgary, and we stumbled into a game hall. Two local "professionals" challenged us to rally driving game competition, 4 players 4 machines, one game. Never seen the game before, it was an outrage for them that I won. The second game, same thing. And third. Those guys didn't want me to walk out of the hall, but we were not going to spend the night there.
