Incidentally, I had fallen for one of the oldest tricks in the book when before the race Anton told told me "you stay high and I'll follow you; that way we'll stay out of the trouble on the bottom". Well, the green flew and as we came out of 2 I felt somebody trying to squeeze into the half-kart space between me and the pole sitter; guess who? It didn't work though and like I said above I managed to hang onto second. Was Anton being aggressive? Sure he was but he didn't try to dump me or anything. Was I ready to thump him? Heck no, I thought it was hilarious, but I sure gave him an earful (in fun) after the dust had settled from the hockey fight.
