30 minutes in a kart is pretty much all I can handle in one sitting. Maybe if i did it more, I could stick it out for longer.

awesome write-up's dizzler

karting was soo much fun, and i can't wait till we go again. Hopefully this time i won't be drifting like an ae86 in Japan throughout the entire course. I guess i just got a feel for a mid engine rear wheel drive contraption and couldn't help it Big Grin ...next time bitches...next time.

I feel that. But it was too much fun oversteering out of the corner before the hairpin not to drift. Dr(op)(ive) it like it's hott.

Wassup guys, i went home(richmond) over break and saturday night i got together with a bunch of my friends from high school and went karting. This was the first time i was in a superkart and OMG they are f$*%ing amazing. The feel of the kart is so different, a lot faster and more stable in the corners, the extra power is awesome for exiting the corners, and down the esseses you can just fly. Oh yea and a lot of the guys that went were talking about how you can almost drift the track in a regular kart, well the superkart can drift like no other. It is realy worth it to become a member and qualify for the superkarts. I can't wait to go back the next time that I am home... Big Grin
