Whoots

went to escape theme park yesterday with my mum and sis.
I tried some of all rides except three,but the highlight was the go-karting.
It started with the beginner carts.I didn't know what to expect,but I was racing against my mum and sis(my mum was driving with my sis in the passenger seat of the two-sitter while i was riding solo in my own two-sitter).
The race started,I was the third of four to start.I literally tailed people and the final car I overtook was my mum and sis.The adrenaline and all was fun.I got hooked.

Later I decided to go over to the advanced track.All single seaters and higher slopes.IT ROCKED!!! I was good at it.Not to mention that because I was one of the few single racers there,the line didn't make much of a difference as I kept getting called to the front to fill up empty karts since the rest were all in groups to race each other.I'm good at it.Heck,I rock at karts.I love it.

There was one particular girl.I don't remember her face that well but she wore a Green top and black shorts.Also hooked on it I suppose.(estimated 16 years old).One of her races I observed,she came in first.Then there was another race I got called to,came i first there,then after it was over I got back in line(planned to ride it over and over again).I didn't notice the girl was in the same race as me,she got back into the line again directly behind me with her sis or something(estimated 15).Either ways,we decided to have another challenge.Went down the line as a group of three this time round so it was a long Q,but it was a good race.
She picked cart 16;weak on the up hill but could afford to accelerate on the down slope without brakes and could preserve speed on the straight line better than other karts.I went with 29,not as good in 16's strengths,but good on the uphill.She was the third of 6 karts to start I was the fourth.caught up to her at the uphill but it wasn't a fair fight yet,so I maintained my kart next to hers there and we agreed to commence at the top just before the slope,so we did.Her kart pulled far in front of me down the slope and on the straight way,it wasn't till all the way at the commencement of the slope again that I managed to overtake.It was a good fight:) anyway,so we both commented each other for it.

Later I challenged two guys behind me.(estimated 15 and 17-19).They gave each other the "smoke this guy look" and agreed.(I was eager to get started).The younger one took dibs on the 29 and the older one took dibs on 12.good choices actually,I watched those two duke it out continuously directly in front of my 24 in one of the previous races and those two were quite good karts.I went with 24 for this race.
This time round I was released as the 1st of the 6 karts and I'm not sure when they were released.But I maintained my position all the way and didn't see any kart come into view except when I was finishing my last lap and saw the last racer during his 2nd last I think.The two guys later avoided eye contact with me as they went of and they went to some other ride.

Later I went back to the basic course again and drove my sis as a passenger.She had lots of funXD.Got 2nd.(think I would have gotten first if one of the karts I was overtaking halfway hadn't turned into me and gotten us both stuck on the track.)XD.

I really love go-karts now.It seems so much easier to overtake real karts than in the computer games where they usually give the npcs some advantage.
