We like to give each other "experiences" for birthday gifts... So Brian got a gift certificate for the intro lesson at Jim Hall Kart Racing School. It took him nearly a year to use it - but here he is getting ready to roll out for the first time: The track features banked curves, high- and low-speed sections and is about half-mile in length. They can re-arrange the lay-out for variety and challenge. Karts at top speed can pull up to 1.4 G's in the corners (but Brian didn't go that fast).
Brian had a smile on his face all day!!! So for his next birthday, he's getting a certificate for the day-two class!
