i actually owe racing for my existence to a point bc my dad and moms dad raced go carts together (apparently that was a highly competitive thing at one time) and that eventually led to my mom and dad getting married then the stork brought me in
I wish that was still a thing. I love go karts, just don't get to do it very often. Mrs. T likes 'em, too, but not when I race her cuz I don't take it easy on 'er

Tried to get into racing a bit and managed to convince my dad that I'd stick with it and do all the things necessary for him to be willing to make the investment. So we searched around and found a paved oval karting series about an hour's drive away. We scoped the place out to make sure it was legit. Turns out the guy who operated the series is a major WKA inspector who works their big weekend in Daytona. Convinced everything was in line and on the up and up, my dad buys the kart. We ran one season before the operator of the series decided it wasn't worth his time anymore and shut it down.
The kart is still up in our detached garage just sitting around. Every time I go up there, I wish I could bust it out. Competitive auto racing is a thrill like no other. Sadly, it's also made most fun karts (ya know, what you go do with your family and friends at some place that probably also has minigolf) a total drag. Too damn slow.
