Summit Point Go-Karting

On Saturday night, a bunch of my motorcycle buddies and I headed out to Summit Point Raceway in WV for a little 'racing under the lights' action at the go-kart track out there. I love karting so any time I get to race a new track, I really enjoy it. Most of my kart experience is on indoor slick tracks, so it was fun to get outside again onto an asphalt track, even it was almost semi-slick. Temperatures were probably in the low 50's that night as well, so the track itself was a little cool. Even so, I did very well and learned the racing line of the track pretty quickly. You'll see in the video below, it doesn't take me much time to dispose of the racers in front of me!

We ran three races that night, and on my last lap of the last race, I threw down my best lap of the night, a 48.344, dropping about 1.5 seconds from my previous best lap. The last full lap in the video below is my fastest one for the evening, and got me a top 5 time for the week, not too shabby for never racing there before! Anyway, enough chatter, on with the video!





P.S. - Sorry about the lack of posts lately! :)
