So, the task is simple, gather 1-3 friends and go race a go-kart for 2 hours. With qualifying, driver changes and strategy. Simple concept...of course if we actually GOT to race this blog post might be a little more interesting. We were on the waiting list and well...everyone showed up for the Nov. 26th Kart2Kart endurance race.
Our Team
Scott S. (officially car chief of TF American Racing...if he likes it or not) and great friend and now former co-worker, who knows his way around a car, but prefers only going straight (i.e. Has a 1/4 mile Mustang...topping out at over 500hp).
Vidhyesh K. - former co-worker and wicked fast in a go-kart
Emmanual V. - co-worker and wicked fast in a go-kart
And somehow...when we do race on Dec. 29th...I feel like I will be the anchor. I feel it has a little bit to do with the 60-100 pounds I add to the kart versus everyone else!
We did stick around for a little bit. And watched a little practice, before I headed to my weekly visit to the Home Depot for home improveement materials and tools (future blog entry). There were fellow Waterford Hills racers there. Jon Horgas and Jacob Carpenter ended up taking the win (info via Facebook). Also there was Dennis Baran and Bill Wise. All open wheel drivers...hmmm...interesting, light and nibble karts and the open wheeler drivers are driving them.
Goal - finish in Top 5...out of 12 teams...when we race on Dec. 29th. Can't wait!
