Yes, it's a good show RS.
Was also on last year. These youngsters are being watched by the talent scouts for all the major big-time racing teams. Many of these "kids" come from wealthy families who have spared no expense to get them in the spotlight.

Arn't Go-Karts the wildest thing to drive. The power to weight ratio and with your ass that close to the gound, it's got to be fun. I like rounding up a bunch of corporate type friends who think they are pretty good drivers and get us all together for a few races at the rental Go-Karts. It's a great laugh and a good "put your money where your mouth is".

Doesn't the Schumacher (sp?) family own a kart center in Germany?
My son wants to learn karts sooooo badly (I told him he can't drive the Porsches until he can reach the pedals)! For our local school, he has to wait until next year when he's 7. I've told Mom, "It's OK, I'll watch him very closely." I plan to do that from my own kart. I've never done more than the 'Malibu' racing thing (pretty lame, actually), but I hear even a beginner kart is the real thing, G-wise.
