nope not the strip cuz the car isn't done....like that suprised anyone ;) ...

I went up to kart2kart for a little go-kart action.... me and my girl heather went on a little race put on but a fellow emplyee of heathers.... there was 12 of us. I ended up setting the 2nd fastest time from the whole day. and ended up finishing 2nd in the feature..... I had a faster lap average then #1 30.69 to 30.71 but I just couldn't find an opening to get by him.....

we have gone there before in the winter speed style and sound competitions... but it was good to be back..

on a side note I was beat by a guy who road races and goes to k2k all the time....

alot of fun.... but now my back hurts from the seats and my arms are killing me from driving the kart for 2 hours....lol

we should set up a "Drag racers try to turn" event up there one night....

if you never been there check out this video I made from last years S3 series.

Looks like lots of fun.

Did you strap a camera to your helmet?


What does the setup look like?

i did the kart thing for the first time a few months ago, i think it was at that place you mentioned also. it was alot of fun, but i sucked bigtime! it was really hard to get used to the steering (or lack of) on those things ...i finished 2nd to last :cry: guess i coulda used a few more laps to get the hang of it hehe.

Stoping and slowing down too much really sets ya behind.... Gotta keep a constant speed through the turns....Just my .02

I actually have a vacume suction cup mount that I mount a remote "eye" to then. I wear a pack that records what the "eye" sees.... it gives some killer footage... and alot of fun to mess around with.

yeah the steering kills ya, I am so sore today.

and like kev said its all about the smooth line... the brakes are in the back only so applying full brake when you only need 20% kills ya too.
