Karting
Join the Dynamic Duo of karting, one of which is fast and one of which is terribly slow, as they discuss the glory, the heartbreak and the groupies of karting. From the little league dads that plague the sport like a giant liver spot on one's wiener to the politics that pollute the sport like, well like politics in anything, to that dickhead we raced against last weekend, we'll eventually cover it all. Oh yeah and we'll be blogging from some of the biggest races in the nation too!

Well, the first day of on-track activity is in the books. As most of you probably have heard, the track we're running is not the track from last year. It is pretty much the track from 2002 or 2003 (or whenever the last Supernats at the Rio were, I forget). I don't know how other drivers feel about it, but for me this track is pretty dull with a pretty low degree of difficulty. There's not much to separate the men from the boys so to speak. On the other hand it is much "safer" and should drastically reduce the number of red flags from the TaGgers.

 Well, it's that time of the year again. Time for the big dance, the big kahuna, the 36 double-d's of kart races... The Superkarts! USA Supernationals at the Rio in Las Vegas. I say this every year because it's true. It just doesn't get any bigger, any badder or any better than this. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that this year is going to raise the bar even higher. I'm expecting Supernats XIII to blow the doors off of all previous versions.

I try. Really I try. But I just can't help it. Making fun of karting Dads is just damn near irresistible. Especially those of the Kid or "Baby" kart variety. You guys are too damn funny! I mean really...your kid is what? Five years old? Maybe six? He's barely learned that it's not a good thing to drop a turd in his super stylin' Baby Gap outfit and yet you're waking him up at six A.M. and dragging him to the kart track? All so you can stand in the pits and leap up and down like you've got a rabid badger running rampant in your trousers, face red as a beet, screaming for him to pass that other five year old kid whose tiny little legs are too short to get full throttle? Don't you feel a little bit silly? |

It's freaking cold outside. I mean really, really cold. 45 degrees, in fact, and raining cats and dogs. Sorry go-kart, you're not going anywhere today. You'll stay in the garage - dry - and I will sit in front of the TV and watch Top Gear reruns all day. Dry. Frankly, I can hardly be bothered to go to Fontana when the weather is cold. I might have gone with a light rain, but there is nothing light about what's going on outside.

Andy Seesemann, czar of the Gatorz Challenge of the Americas and Gatorz Karting Cup gives me a hard time for even thinking about this, but I can't help it. I'm Latin, and we are known for being hot heads. We're known for a lot of other things as well, but for the purposes of this edition of Wheel Nut, we'll relate it to karting. In three years of racing karts, I have compiled The List. On The List is every person that has wrecked one of my races for no real reason. |
