GoKart Racer

We went to this indoor Go Kart racing place tonight and I had an exhilarating time. I?ve never seen one of these places indoors, but I have raced the Go Karts at Malibu Grand Prix in Redwood City, CA. Just to get you into the daredevil/racing mood, they have you put on these full body racing suits, complete with helmet and neck protector before you begin. Apparently these things can go up to 35mph. Thinking about it, I?m not sure these things go much faster than the Go Karts at Malibu, but there are some significant differences that make this experience much more enjoyable. First of all you drive on the track with other Go Karts. It?s easy for you to bump (but apparently this is a big no-no and will get you kicked out) and cutoff other drivers. Second, you are given 10-15 strait minutes of driving time rather than having to stop at each lap. When you are finished you get a complete breakdown of your lap times to the thousandths of a second. Yours truly came in first but settled for second on the second time around. Anyway, this is a must for the race car driver at heart (although rather pricey). Check out the Gokart Indoor Racing Center off 101 in Burlingame (and if you go this Saturday you can try-out to be on the next Survivor, wippy :) ).
