Allsports GP Karting

I went out to Allsports GP last night for a little bit of karting action. My buddy and I are both qualified for the super karts, so we chose to do 3 of the super kart races. The track was cold, and it took a little while for our karts to warm up [I'm guessing we were the first people of the day to run any of the super karts] but once the tires and engines got up to temp, I was able to put down some pretty quick laps for the track surface being as cold as it was. I hit a best of 22.5, with my averages being in the 22.7 range I want to say. I'm confident enough in my abilities to say I'm pretty sure I can get into the 21's but I think it may require a slightly warmer track temperature. [For those that don't know, Allsports is a slick track, meaning you have to maintain mostly controlled slides throughout the turns. Warmer track will equal less sliding.] Anyway, we had a good time as always, and I came out on top.....almost as always. Here's a video of someone racing there, same track, but our karts would be going a little faster, that and it was just the two of us out there racing mano-a-mano. I need to get a better helmet cam so I can take better quality videos of this type of stuff too.

We should go out there as a family. I promise I won't put you into the wall.........more than 2 or 3 times.
