Been there once. I found that there was no need to use brakes around this track.

Haha not a challenge, just a tip. I wasn't that quick... was probably getting shown up by all the 10 year olds who regularly go for the kid races.

To the victor go the spoils, says the adage! I don't recall any disclaimers regarding the origin of the spoils themselves!!!

Wish I could make it, but we're going to be in VEGA$$$ for bowling sweepers (for two teams no less) and can't skip.

I'd have to do some dieting and slim down to stand a chance, else I'd be like the DarkMastyr and try to shove the gas pedal through the floor! Just kidding... well, sort of.

Have fun friends! Take some photos - gotta see how this turns out!
