High Level Stuff At A Very Low Level
« on: March 15, 2007, 07:49:19 PM »
On the weekend of March 30 - April 1, a contingent of AutoPuzzlers and CarNuts will descend on the kart track at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) to go head to head with the best kart drivers in the world in a knock down, drag out challenge for total world supremacy. It is possible that, along the way, a beer or two will be consumed and a great deal of hyperbole will be employed.

For the record, the participants will feature one Stephen M (accompanied by the lovely and vivacious Laura J, who wants nothing to do with us), Jagman, and myself (MG) along with CarNuts stalwarts Dre, F (Minus) 1 and Falcon, who will be campaigning his T1 Corvette on the big track during the weekend in order to keep his mind off the important part -driving a 6 hp kart with 360 degree bumpers as fast as possible on a 5/8 mile track.

We will be attempting to provide same day video coverage of this extravagaza and a running commentary on who is fast and who is last.

It is going to be a good old fashioned double throw down hoot. Be sure to stay tuned for details and updates.   :drive:

Thanks, bub. 

Speaking strictly for myself, I have always THOUGHT of myself as an excellent driver. And yet, save for a spate of autocross fever earlier in life, I have never driven competitively and never raced with others on the same track at the same time. So some lifelong questions will get answered this weekend.  :-\

But putting that all aside, it promises to be a major league good time with lots of  :drive:, the occasional  :doh: and plenty of this. :yeah: and. :drink: this

We'll bring back plenty of pix and videos, so y'all can share in the experience.   :popcorn:
