      That got me going down the rabbit hole of looking at motorcycle powered carts, F1000 cars, etc.. Turns out my yearly salary is "too poor" to get involved in those types of sports :D

      This is a crappy iPhone shot of the final race where my friend in black made an obscenely good pass on me, two wheels in the dirt to steal the win:

      that looks like a blast. 50 mph? shit, thats kill yourself fast!

        Yep, they'll hit that on the back straight :)

          Yeah, there's an indoor asphalt track that uses electric ones like an hour south of me. They say around 45, but probably closer to like 38 top. Those things are INTENSE. Three 16+1 lap races physically drained the hell out of me.

            Yeah there's a local indoor track with electric ones and they are fairly quick. The course is pretty tight so not much room, but if you follow the correct line I can top out the cart. I'm a big guy so it's not as fast as if I was smaller.

            And my legs were hurting as I was using them to keep me in the seat and in position.

            We had a team building meet at the cart track. It was so fun! Yelling at my co-workers to get out of the way! lol

              I really wish I could do it more often. I mean, I have my rig for some gaming fun, but nothing really beats actually being out and doing it.

                I used to go carting fairly often with my friend but we found that for the prices we were paying ($50-100) we could just do real track driving... I havent really gone back, but I do want to get my younger cousins/ nephews/ etc into it so I might have to do them more soon... gotta get the younger generation taught right

                  I WOULD go to a track, but my E30 isn't in great shape and is also a vert and my Neon is a rattly tin can and isn't much fun except in a straight line. I would love to have a car actually worth a track day someday.

                    Well... if there was a car to do it with, its the Neon. a ratty tin can is perfect for the track just in case you have to take it home in a box... you can make the FWD car take turns with proper suspension tuning

                      Lol rattly, not ratty. Maybe if I can find an srt for like 2k and all beat up it'd be worth it. I've just heard turbo cars don't hold up well to track use compared to N/A.

                        Its a Neon... its rattly AND ratty hahah

                        If you are serious about doing something like that do some research on what you want the car to do and where you want to compete with it. It can save you a big headache down the road.

                        I basically overbuilt my previous E30 to the point that I couldnt daily drive it anymore and the groups it was racing in was very expensive and though I had the BHP, I was lacking everywhere else...

                          First of all, truest statement ever.
                          Second, I want something with a little more oomph than the stock power of the M20 but not something that will be easy to go overboard in. I'm just not exactly sure what I want yet. An E30 seems like an obvious choice to me, but idk...

                                There's an electric cart place here in Nashville. We always have a good time!
