So I went to an indoor karting place tonight. It was the deal where they are semi-fast, you wear a helmet, etc.
IT WAS SWEET!!!
Maybe its just because I no longer have a sports car, but MAN, that was some serious fun! But here is the catch:
I wasn't very good.
I mean, sure, I was faster than a lot of guys out there, but I really felt out of my element. The karts react INSTANTLY to your inputs- you can spin out in a split second, which I did twice my first outing.
I plan to go back at least weekly for my fix now, and who knows- if I like it enough, maybe I could someday try real karting.
Does anybody know of some literature about the basics of handling these machines? Anybody have advice on how to drive better? How can I work my way towards racing in real karts?
Did I mention that it was FUN?
