9/3 Autobahn Arrive and Drive

On Thursday a few of us from work got together for another Arrive and Drive at Autobahn Indoor Speedway. It's been five long months since the last time we visited Autobahn, and as soon as we took our first laps we were all questioning why it had been so long. It was so much fun hustling those karts around the track.

The first heat we did on Le Mans and I got the best time over Greg by the tiniest possible margin - a single thousandth of a second! Greg and I were both faster than Colby by four tenths, and faster than Paul P. by nine tenths.

At the start of the second heat, this time on the Monaco track, the course worker told us to put our visors down. I forgot my own helmet and trying to see through the scuffed and scratched visor of the loaner really made me wish I hadn't.

My kart felt great on Monaco and I got the best time once again - this time by a significantly wider margin. Greg unfortunately had a bum kart, but he still managed to come in four tenths faster than Colby again and over a second faster than Paul P. My best lap though was a full second faster than Greg's! Not only that, but it was good enough for the tenth best lap of the week on Monaco. The time sheets show the names and lap times for the top twelve laps of the week so it's always extra fun to crack into that top twelve.

It sucks that I didn't really get a fair fight with Greg in the last heat because of his lousy kart, but I have a feeling my time would have been pretty hard to beat regardless. Either way, I'll happily take over the office trophy until the next time we go out. :-)
