Gran Prix Racing

Last weekend I went and did something I don't think people would normally assume I would do. I went go kart racing! I know lol! Well it was so much fun. It's so real and the people at Gran Prix were really nice. One thing is for sure it's safety all the way first. When you first get there you have to register because its a membership type place. After that the send you off to his private room to watch a video. It sort of reminded me of the video you watch when you take your 5 Hours Class at a driving school. After the video is done you are instructed to go to the changing room and gear up. Gear Up!!! That sounds so official lol! Anyway, I mean you have to put on a jumpsuit, a head sock, a helmet, and a neck guard. It was so much on me, and you all know I'm so tiny, that I felt weighed down.

Now once you're geared up you go on to the track. Now these go karts go 40mph with 6.5hp around this bendy, curvy track and each race is 9 mins (approx 4 1/2 miles long). When the race first started this was something completely new to me. All I kept saying in my helmet to myself was, "I don't wanna do this anymore, I don't wanna do this anymore". But by that time is was too late, lol. After a few laps around the track and being bumped a few times I go more comfortable. I started pushing up the speed and whipping around those corners. It actually turned out to be alot of fun. I'm definitely going back to feed my need for speed!
