Naw, we're all of different ages, but it all evens out since we all act like 7 year olds.  |

California Speedway in my Tony Kart with PRD Fireball engine...I remember the first time I went full throttle through a turn thinking "ohhh myyyy goooddddd this is soooo faaaasssttt aaaahhhhhh." It was way more intense than I thought it would be. Much much harder than driving the sports cars I was used to.
My favorite track I've driven to date is Grange though, I come from a canyon driving background so I like tracks with tons of corners. |

Thought about taking turn 1 "flatout" until I got there. After 2 laps had to pull off and compose myself, and check my shorts! |

First track was at Grayson County Speedway (1/4 mile Clay oval in North Texas with a small kart track in the middle) in 1978.
First proper kart track was The Whizzer kart track in the DFW area in 1979.

1/5 mile banked asphalt oval in Inman, SC. Had a Rathmann Xterminator with twin Mc-10's. My cousin ran his dual rail Simplex Challenger with twin modified WB-700's. You just don't forget those things.
