...they were her words not mine. 
It was our elder son's 13th birthday today, and I had arranged a session on the local go-karts at Formula E. The fastest electric kart track in the country. I know the owner very well, so he sorted us out a session before they officially opened for the day. :headbang:
I told Cameron he could invite a friend (Josh) along, and of course little brother Jacob was racing also. Mum was on camera duty for the morning.
I have some video at the end of this thread showing the group that followed us...all young guys in their 20's...on a stag party (Bachelor party) - they only did 2 laps and nearly got thrown out for being idiots - too many crashes and smashing into each other.
Pre-race with tickets in hand
Driver's briefing ....
Out we go for a warm-up lap at half speed...
The black smudge on the nearest pillar was made by some clown with the right-front tyre of a kart...the staff leave it there to show what can happen if you disobey the rules....
Podium finish...(in no particular order) :grin: ...even though Dad had the fastest time :headbang:
Had lunch at Wendy's followed by dinner in the evening at a fine Steak House....
Prime Fillet Steak with blue cheese sauce and bacon. :hello2:
here are the guys that followed us....this circuit feels fast when your butt is only two inches off the floor.
