Joe has been wanting to go to Angleton and drive Go Karts for months now! These Karts go up to 48 mph on a 3/4 long track with banked corners. Then if you are good enough you can upgrade to the 60 mph Karts and ultimately the 75 mph Karts. When he first found out about them, it was SO hot outside and was one of the last things I wanted to do. Then winter came and it was really cold, but the weather was perfect two weeks ago!! We invited our friends to go and we ended up having a blast! The weather was so nice. There was a wait when we got there but they had a balcony on the second floor where we could go up and watch the go karts and race cars. They had a 24 hour race going on! I'm not 100% sure what the rules and stipulations are but people bring their own cars and rotate drivers every couple hours. Joe said there's a limit as to what they can spend on the cars and also a cost limit on the things they add to the car. There were some pretty creative cars and it gave us something to watch while we waited.
This was one of the groups ahead of us racing the go karts.
These were some of the race cars going around the track.
Joe and Jason were like two little boys watching the cars and go karts.
Joe, Jason, and Jillian
Getting ready to race! They gave us these masks to put on before our helmets. We looked like we were ready to rob a bank=)
Ready to go!
We had a blast! I was a little more chicken than the boys. I don't think Joe hit the brake too many times. He was leading the way most of the race. He even ended up lapping me! I got hit by some kid, and busted up when Jason lost control and ended up going off the track. I didn't come in last, so I considered that pretty good!=) ha ha! Joe's craving for race karts has now been taken care of.....at least for the moment!=)
just can't get enough activities .
