Had a company outing at the kart place in sterling (I can't remember the name). WTF DORIFTOHH!!!!
Lol seriously though, those little RWD things are weird. Surprisingly, I didn't have as much fun as I thought I would.
I don't know what it was about the experience. Maybe it was because the karts were slow, the ass end slid out way too easily, or because the faggots would never give me a blue flag! I'd be right on someone's ass for a whole lap and I'd never get it =/
It kind of promoted my latest progression toward drag racing. I still want to autocross my car to see how fun that is, maybe take it to a big road track, but there's something about going fast, then slowing down and turning that isn't very fun to me.
I was thinking about it on the drive home, and here's the only way I can describe it. When I was in that kart, I was in a zone. I was really focused and in a heightened state of awareness, but there was no adrenaline at all. There wasn't the excitement so much as the focus. When I'm accelerating in a fast car, and the front end bucks up and you feel the car twist with torque with your head slamming the back of the seat, I feel the same feeling as above but with a HUGE surge of adrenaline and excitement.
Flame away, but that's the case! And no, I wasn't that slow. I put up the best lap for my team at 25.412, 3rd overall out of 30 people.
