    Guys like us, Kevin, eventually learn to hide the fact that we are highly skilled, focused and detail orientated. Usually right after they tell us we're not allowed to compete with them anymore.

    The kart track, how many of you play GranTurismo? That track is the same as one of the kart tracks in GranTurismo 6. LOL. Not sure who copied who but it is the same. Too funny. Nice work Kev landing a 2nd starting spot and a VICTORY IN THE MAIN!! Those karts look to be perfectly set up for the track, not too fast, just fast enough to be fun but not so fast as to over run the layout if you drive a tight line. From back in the pack all you can hope for is some carnage in front and you get lucky enough to get around it.

    That's the general rule for rental carts. Luck of the draw and avoiding the kids and intoxicated people. Lol. Interesting thing I've noticed about rental carts, unlike real cars hitting the apex isn't always ideal. Depending on the turn rental carts get bogged down. Great driving I'm surprised Garret hasn't started a cart event at the FF yet. I know him and Jeremy used to be big cart racing guys.

    Kevin, hope you got into the track at some point. If not, next time you’re in town, just look up Indy racing museum tickets. They aren’t too bad on price and you get a full track tour. The museum inside is also really cool. Lots of racing history in there. And a lot of old former winners of the 500.

    The baby giraffe should set up an exhibition Freedom 500 using karts in the infield short course at the Freedom Factory, could call it the Freedom 50cc. Give invited drivers a set budget to buy and build a kart then race enduro style like the real race.
