More like Randy preparing to pass me!

My weight advantage wasn't enough to compensate for my lack of skill. I'll just have to practice!

Next time we do it we are gonna weigh in and get the appropriate ballast for our karts. The racing will be close then.

Mine would be the most boring video ever. Creeping up close to Cwiz in the corners, then watch him put a gap on the straight. Rinse and repeat for 10 laps. :|

Would be fun to do a longer ~50 lap race.

4r3s said you might need a cushion... I guess you would need one for the longer races...

actually dee - this was my first time.
and I came in 11th in the final list...

there were a couple turns that i just couldn't get on the right line - and those carts were very unforgiving when you lost rpms..

I watched about half the video, and it looked like you were passing people left and right...

I actually wore my padded cycling knickers.

They helped make those hard plastic seats marginally less uncomfortable. It's the vibration on acceleration that would get me, though. I wasn't pushing it hard enough, and weaker acceleration made the kart shake like crazy.

One of the few situations where being shorter could be considered a good thing.

It bit me in the bum at first, though - I didn't know you could adjust the pedal distance and so I just pulled myself forward with the steering wheel to be able to work the pedals.

Muscle groups I didn't know I had hurt the next morning.

Aww, c'mon man! You were a first-timer, too, and you destroyed me!!!

Dee, you missed a really fun event! You would've had a blast. The best part (for you) is that you would get to drive a vehicle that you don't have to pay for the ga$.

Seriously though, it was a blast, you should try to make it next time!
