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...

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!

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....

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....

We are expanding, and have looked at that kind of racing. We signed up
for a street race a couple weeks back but it got cancelled so we raced
on 4 wheels... I won my first race ever, but it was the womens class I
ended up racing in so I got disqualified for carrying "illegal spare
parts" and Jess got the trophy.... It was a blizzard that night and a
make up event so they gave me a free race as long as I didn't mind
racing the girls... I came in last in the first moto, but had the best
lap time in the second moto and it was about lap times Jess loved
racing on 4 wheels, hummmmmmm....
