well the problem w/ the Karts are that the seat is your only thing holding you in and mine is a XXL for now.

but we could set something up with a water ski vest to fill the space in the seat.

yea, I use a ribtech II

I was talking about Jay going 4 a ride, he is quite a bit smaller than me and would flop around.

btw, I wore my Honda World shirt home after the race

Welcome to karting! Nothing else is as much fun!

Look what happens when you miss the apex on this corner. (Courtesy of my helmet cam and $400 of damage.) I thought #14 in front of me was gonna lose his rear end and slide out in front of me so I went wide. Bad idea....

See me crash and burn....

If you haven't purchased a helmet cam yet I highly recommend one! helmetcamera.com.

Majorhavoc,

I am running the 125cc Moto class. This was my first race and I got my lunch eaten for me by the field. I would like to get out and try some oter events, but for now I am just working on dropping some more weight and being able to compete with some of the class @ the club level.

TrojanHorse,

Couldn't get the vid to work I will try later when I don't have to leave for work and I will also check out the helmet cam thing that would be cool to have for fun as well as learning.


As for the ambulance, I have been out there 3 months and never even seen them leave the rig.
