Went Karting
I'm on travel right now and have a free weekend in San Diego. There's an indoor karting place not too far from where I'm staying, so I finally gave it a try today. I probably should have done it about 30 years ago.
The course is tight enough that the exit to most corners is also the setup for the next corner. Also, I wasn't expecting anywhere near the lateral grip that these things have. Brake feel was next to nonexistent, and anything more than a dab of brake while cornering makes the tail try to come around on you. Luckily not much braking is needed during a lap unless someone has an oops in front of you. My goals were to not get black flagged, not bin it, and not be last. I finished 10th of 12 despite being the only first time racer on the track. I decided one heat was enough for today, but I'll be back tomorrow for the three race special.
