Think, ice, 500cc 100 hp. Methanol burner, almost no suspension, no
left foot peg, and only one gear but a couple hundred spikes. no
brakes, all on about a 1/3 mile oval track.

Speedway racing. Jess needs to expand her horizons...

The action starts at about 2:15

So, that's what the do with the speed-skating track when the races
are done.


This is what we did in the blizzard the other night These carts are
fun as hell..

Check it out...

I've never ridden in a go-cart on a track, or anywhere else for that
matter. I'd like to, one of
these days. There used to be a track pretty close to the house, down
on Eisenhower Blvd, but I think
the Alexandria jail is there now.

Probably where all those go-karters went too!

It's an amazing ride. These carts are sooo high tech..

Back to Tim's post... Jess wouldn't do that I don't think. One, with
practically no body fat, she hates the cold... Second, when we tried to
get her to do GPX last year she wanted jumps and banked corners We may
go do an ArenaCross race this year but I am not sure if she is quite
ready for that meat grinder yet... Well, I think she's ready but if she
doesn't, we are not gonna' do it... ArenaCross would be a step up in
competition, would be the best in the country and it's a tough track....

Here is the series we are considering...
Action starts at about 2 minutes...

This is tight racing, lot's of activity...

I watch that and think of the poor girl's back. Does look like lots of fun though.
