Finally broke the 33 sec barrier!!!

I've been having 60 hour weeks at work for almost this entire month (I normally work 36), so tonight on my way home I decided to stop by the GoKart track. They were getting ready to close so I was racing by myself (place was empty except for staff and the 3 guys that were racing before me)!!!

I haven't been there in months and to be honest didn't think I was gonna be any better than my previous best 33.3. by the second lap I was at 33.1. I got really excited!!! They have a huge projection screen right after you cross the finish line, so I was able to see the time...

The numbers kept coming down as the tires got warmer...by the fourth lap I was at 33.0!!!

The sixth lap changed it all for me! I did a 32.8!!! This is hardcore stuff... you'll have to be in a race league and race all the time to be much better than that!!!

by the 10th lap I set my current record 32.7!!! I was ****ing screaming thinking I was by myself so who gives a ****! I heard echo and thought, ****, the attendant is gonna think I'm crazy :biglaugh:

So anyways, I'm ****ing pumped!!! I'll probably go to the casinos right after this - I don't work again until after thanksgiving, so is all good

I'm #6 for the entire day!!! #48 for the entire WEEK!!! I actually made the list by a hair!!!! I skipped being on the list for the month by .5 sec!!! Anyways, check out the pics...

That's tight dude. Looks like Lehigh Valley? Thats how their sheets are printed anyway, and the times are spot on. I've hit 33's there as well! My buddy used to be in the league there. Would run 31's all day when the tires were warm. However, I don't see sloski at the top so maybe its not LVGP?

Yeah, I was told slowski couldn't make it, but it is the fastest so far...




I went back last night. Tough crowd last night at the Karts... From what I found out from talking to people, most go there every Monday for Monday madness... Some belong to the league as well...

The fastest for the night was warren wallace with a 31.3... The guy has been racing for a while and has been working at the place for 2 years... he gave me some pointers...

I raced 7 heats! each heat I did 13 laps and it was tough keeping up with the fast people and also overtaking the slow drivers... some slow you down as they don't follow the flags sometimes..

Anyways, My best time was 32.9... Couldn't beat my current record but my average improved by about a second!

I'll try and get to the track at least once a month...

Something like 45mph.
My brother and I went a few weeks ago. Cut the slowest times we've ever done and had the most fun doing it. We had some really slow guys, and gals in out heat. Seriously, like 1+ mins/lap. With so much lapped traffic my brother and I must have changed position 10 times. Not having the lines you wanted, passing where you didn't plan, and getting wide out in that loose **** makes for some wild drifting!

I love karting places like this. So far the only I have raced at is F1 Race Factory in Phoenix, lots of fun.

I used to run 32.6 (I am 210lbs) when I was addicted to going there. Now I have a Racing Shifter Kart to have Fun with.

I should really go there. All my other buddies that i race with go there. I bet I could do fairly well first time out. I may driver circles, but i can drive road courses too :-)
