It must have been the day for indoor karting because Kyle and I did the same
thing this morning.  We joined other members of our MG Club in answer to
a challenge from the local Triumph club.  This place has slick concrete
floors - they apparently add talc to them for even more fun - and electric
Karts.  Great fun.  You end up basically doing a drifting race around each
corner.  I think Kyle got FTD (he had a significant weight advantage over many
of us there)  but drew a really loose kart for the final "championship" race
and came in mid-pack.  Oh well, we're doing it again in a few weeks.

Willy Thompson and I joined the Chicago MINI Motoring Club today at Chicago
Indoor Racing
http://www.chicagoindoorracing.com/
We had the whole track (most events run on one half or the other) for a
45-minute enduro. 17 teams of 2 randomly assigned people each. Doesn't sound
like much, but I am going to be hurting tomorrow! There isn't much time
between one turn and the next. My teammate does the Joliet Autobahn track on
his
motorcycle and he assures me that this is a lot more work. I think I believe
him. We opted to do it with a single driver change halfway through rather
than
the more usual . Fun though... I have been to the CIR a few times before, but
this was the first (and probably only) time I have done 23 minutes at a time.
Sure sounds pathetic, don't it?
