Daytona Go-Kart Racing

GO-KART PHOTO GALLERY

I came to win, but I was born to lose. Or second to last. After work on Saturday the Daytona Raceway was booked up for Weta and we drove around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around… 60 times to be exact. Those little buggers are fast. You have to wear these nasty little nets to cover your head because, ya know, people be sweatin’ in the helmets. Erik displays this proudly in the gallery. I think all eight of the go-kart commandments were broken. We paired up into two man teams (orange), and the starting drivers have to run to their karts and begin the race. As your teammate does 10 laps you hold up the “1 more lap” sign, and he’s supposed to stop next time around. Then you get in the car and do 10 laps. Other than sore muscles, Deb was the only injury.
