I don't claim to be Ricky Bobby, or anything but, "I like racing and going fast." That's probably one of the most obvious statements I've ever made, but with good reason....cause I do. Yesterday afternoon I headed out to my local track for some more go karting action, because I simply cannot get enough. My buddy and I did 3 super kart races, and the video below is from race #3 [although you never see my buddy, he was behind me and having an even harder time with the sliding than I was.]
The track however was very odd yesterday. It was really hot outside and they had their big bay doors open at the track, which usually translates to a stickier track surface, but not yesterday. Yesterday it was the slickest I can remember in a long time, and we were even in the super karts, which supposedly have stickier tires. As you'll see in the video, when I slide there is very little squealing coming from the tires, just no grip and sliding sideways. Given that, I was extremely happy with my lap times. It wont be long before I need to start traveling and looking for other places to go race and test/further improve my driving skills. One thing I know for sure is that you can never stop learning, and someone else will always be faster. Boogity Boogity Boogity, let's go racin'!

Are there more tracks in the area or are going to have to travel to find more? I like that you're putting that new camera to use so much!
Hey, #37 definitely knew what he was doing!! You almost got him a couple of times!! Fun stuff!
I would have to travel to find other 'real' tracks. Haven't yet researched yet, at least not a lot. I did look up some driving schools and more endurance kart races though.
As for #37, I got by him pretty easy our first two races, and had this been a real race, I would've easily gotten by him with a little convincing. Just out for fun though so I stayed back and worked more on technique.
