Alabama thread!

Can you just...lighten up a little bit? We both know I'm bullshitting, now let him see it and get fired up. lol

 

lol I know, I'm light (not in terms of racing light), but I'm light. if anything it should've motivated Ol' Thunder Thighs Androlle to get in the gym lol.

 

Daaaaaaaaamn.

 

Just trying to help you get him fired up. He beat me last night lol. He and I are close in weight.

The only time I saw body weight not a factor was the big guy (Jake) in the picture I posted that got 2nd. He's easily 260 and had raced there once before. He said he had a good kart that race, and it was the first race for most of us so we had no clue what we were doing.

 

Sounds like I would be good at this with the right kart

 

I would think so. Brian is definitely the ideal racer for the karts, then experience on top of it. As an average sized/slightly wider guy the karts are snug. Jake looked hilarious in his kart, and Martin and Brian used "booster seats" to make their seats fit them better lol

 

sounds like I wouldn't even fit in a kart...

 

lol you'd fit, you'd be snug. look at Jake compared to Brian on that podium photo though lol

 

haha, I see the difference now. my legs are usually my limiting factor; have to go up 2 sizes on my pants just to get them in...

 

haha yeah Martin on the right is 6'1" and Jake on the left is either 6'1" or 6'2" and they both fit. Brian's a little guy lol.

 

This was my Troop (B Troop 2-17th Cavalry) during my last combat tour. Even then, I was the "old man" of the group and had at least 10 years on my commander, if not more.

that's awesome! have you been to veloce? by experience I simply meant in those carts at that place lol.

That's some cool ass video though, did you guys go around with personal cameras to get that kind of stuff?

 

Never been and would have loved to gone with you guys last night. M-Th I'm tied up with kids sports.

I only carried a camera but was on the controls most of the time and didn't take a lot of pictures. Others ran with video and toward the end had 1st gen go-cams. This was 2008.

 

we would've loved to have you, like I said we have to take our TW group there it will be funny as hell.

I've always wondered who was doing the filming in stuff like that, thanks for sharing.

 

Until this morning, I didn't know the video existed. I was looking for other units that posted Kiowa vids and ran across our guys.

 

I keep picturing Mario Cart.

 

less turtle shells.

 

Hey @yota243 I just got a random friend request from a Hannah, what was that girls last name from knockerball cause I don't think this is her?

 

One thing to remember is weight can equal traction. The carts are electric which is instant torque.
