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.

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!

John H. -- Hope you're having a great day!

After a cart ride at the track, let someone else drive you home. You will
want to hit the corners to fast in a street vehicle for a while,

You are not kidding... It was a blizzard that night so I went home at 30
all the way, took almost three hours to go 60 miles with stops to clean
wipers, etc...

However, even the next day I found myself "seeing" corner lines and
driving to them in my truck, had to put myself in check a couple times....

Back about 50 years ago, was a track next to Berkeley and just by the
freeway on ramp. My buddy in front of me went up the on ramp mostly
sideways.
