Default Winter Boredom Fix

Webz and I have been going indoor Karting almost every Sunday for the last two months. Z06_505 has run with us as well.

Today, the Cincinnati Corvette Club got together and we hit it again.
It really does help and is fun as hell.

I think every last one of us though got blacked flag once or twice today.
It got a bit brutal out there



If you haven't done it, I would highly recommend it.





PS
One trick I have learned is to take 800 mg of "pre-emptive" Ibuprofin before hitting the carts.

Man my ego (along with the rest of my body) is taking a beating from you and your family of enforcers (ie Brian and Brandon).

I guess getting black flagged has been more than over due.

A bunch of us form the forum went last week to a new place in NY. It wasn't open to the public as of last weekend, private rentals onyl. But man, did we have a great time. Electronic timing, you run three heats, we had 24 racers, the best 12 drivers run a championship. I came in 6th in the championship, not too bad for one of the old guys. the track is amazing, it has turns designed to scale in relatio to the size of the karts, after real track corners, like the ring in germany. Elevation changes and a 90* hairpin. I'm wearing one of the track issued suits, and a track issued neck brace on my head in my avatar pic.

Where's a track at near Cincy? I'm just north of Dayton.

Found it...Competition Racing.
