Kart manufacturers will have a bunch of karts in all sizes for you to try on the track (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) . The track is at Exit 474 off of 35 in Denton. Ill be there with Cam and Lizzy while Momma takes Matt for Baseball team tryouts. He gets nervous if Im there.

Just got back home. It was unorganized and Lizzy was the only one who got to drive. She didnt like it she thought it was too fast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) We talked about the speed on the way home and what scared her the most was no seat belt we have that cramed into her head that she needs to have one on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Here are the shots I got of her (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) and one of Cam posing with a kart

Sorry I missed that and sorry it wasn't as fun as it should have been. Keep us posted if anything like this comes up again. I am always looking for new ways to spend nonexistant money an karting is at the top of the list.

a rotax (that's what lizzy was driving) isn't actually all that fast for a kart, but it is WAY TOO FAST for the uninitiated. definitely, let her know that that it is OKAY and TOTALLY NORMAL to be uncomfortable with the speed and handling characteristics of the kart. hell, the first time i drove my kart i nearly pissed myself.
