The Races

On July 16 Sugi organized a trip to Podium Raceway, the go-cart track at Kaleloa, for those who are unfamiliar. We met when the doors open at about 10 and got registered. You get to pick your own racer name and give them statistics for their database. They also do printouts and email you your race results :)

We decided to pay for the minimum package of 3 races. When they called out first race they took us into the Pit Area and gave us a general orientation on racing and the cars. They said that up until that day that had not had any accidents since December or something. The accidents weren't on our races, I swear! Marice and I got booster seats and foot boosters cause we're so short :( We're past the minimum height requirement, but still! We were lucky enough to have the track to ourselves for the most part for the first 2 races, but on the 3rd race they put in a bunch of random people, so it was a very busy track.

And now the long picture trail...
