Epic night. The staff at Andrettis were very accomodating and blocked off a solid 30 min endurance race for us. What a workout! Usually, the races are 8 mins. Video coming shortly. Oh, Ryan@Forged took the track record from me, and crushed it by another 2 tenths of a second. Congrats!

And I have to say, that James has some skills. To put these karts into the 24's first time out is pretty remarkable. He's a natural!

I just got back home from being out of town. Had a great time with the FP crew. Make no mistake, these guys are sick behind the wheel, so even though I had a blast, I was for sure in over my head. Anyway, hopefully we can get some onboard footage up from the races.

I'll get on Sharif to see if he can post up the footage. We had a blast for sure You picked it up pretty quick James, although a 64 (62) lap session will do that to you. Make sure you hit us up next time you are in town and we'll have to go back again.

30 minute race is not for the faint of heart. You think of joking but I'm not. It can be a little tiring and I definitely found it difficult to keep my focus in terms of braking points and hitting apexes at some points because the length of the race starts to wear on you.

You think "ahhh its just a kart, whatever" but I'm dead serious. Very easy to be good, but extremely difficult to master.

Her kart's steering was messed up, so she just did a few laps and retired. She is pretty fast!

Aww don't be afraid of Sharif's kinfolk Mike. Pretty sure we took out a distant cousin the other day. Had a Forged banner on his donkey. Mike come on over to Italy in November and we'll grab a beer. Almost outta this hell hole.
