I'm Gonna Get You Sucka

The souped up engine rumbles beneath you. You rev the engine and it responds with a roar and a cloud of thick black exhaust. You eye your opponents with an evil glint that says "I own this road, just try to take it from me." Time slows, the 15-year-old in charge waves you to the front with a nonchalant wave. You push the pedal to the floor and shoot out of the start, hot in pursuit of ANYONE ahead of you.

Let the best go-cart-er (is that even a word?) win.

Our friends had some passes to a local fun spot and a bunch of us got to race around like a pack of teenagers. Some of the rear ending got a little out of control!




Can you see some of the fire in my eyes. I am trying to keep it pleasant but lurking beneath this kindly smile is the heart of a competitor. (I seriously got into it with some teenage boy sharing the track with us. It all ended is smiles, I pinky swear! I think I may have earned some street cred when I shot the gap and went to the inside of the curve to pass him.)




Jer and I even ended the night as friends. Darn all that FBI training! I could never catch up to him or pass him. I blamed it on the go cart even though we got a different one every time and mine inexplicably was the slower of the two! No matter what we do, he always wins. Someday I will beat him at something. Someday.

    I am loving the sassy jacket. I can't get enough of the cuffs!

    Also - warning, Debbie Downer here (waa, waa...) but I heard the most horrible news story about go-carting a few months ago. I'm glad we didn't talk before you went because I would have been a bundle of nerves. It's totally one of those freak accidents (i.e. I can't quit walking outside just because one window falls out of a building) but it has completely shattered my go-cart world. Thanks for this post. It was a little positive PR for GCs. :)

    I love the wind-blown hair look in that picture of you in the go cart :) Jeremy and his FBI skills...phoo.
