Looks like I'll be heading up to Buttonwillow on Friday with the two karts: 1 TAG and 1 shifter. Should be a hoot! If anyone has the day off and is bored come say hi!

Here's a few shakedown laps in the TAG:

It's an older Mike Manning Avanti with a Motori7. It was 115F in the shade with track temps around 155F. Towards the end of the day I started showing signs of heat exhaustion; including fatigue, nausea, and disorientation. Had a great time though! We took out "Satan", the 2003 era 125cc shifter (MSKart) and for it's first time ever we were lapping with it! Normally something goes wrong that sidelines it for the day. That thing is a rush!

We took some liberties due to the heat and us being the only ones there...
