    Sadly, I've been ruined by YouTube and I can no longer view POV racing videos like this without hearing a maniacal voice chanting "nemesis nemesis nemeSIS" the entire time.


    In this case, the voice had just inhaled helium.

    This is good pr0n for anyone with a fetish for driving-slipper clad feet working pedals:

    I look hilarious on a cart.


    I'm 6'5" and when doing a flying lap on even a twin engined cart I adopt a similar driving posture to taking a shit while reading a magazine.


    I usually put in a great lap only to return to the pit with everyone roaring with laughter.

    This is childs play compared to the TT races held in June when they fly thru these towns at 200 mph on Suzuki 1000's.

    Maybe it's just the skewed perspective... but it looks like all the buildings are miniture.

    Oh, wow. I'm having flashbacks and there's a stirring in my slacks that doesn't normally ever happen at work! You have no idea how close you sit to those painted curbs, and how little depth perception you get racing that close to the ground. In 88 I had a 250 National kart, (250 Yamaha MX powered) and even though I was pathetically slow and usually hopelessly broken, I never had so much excitement.

    @NatefromOgden: Yea, karts in general are made of solid sterling win.


    Recipe for deliciously decadent driving: Cook a car until all the unnecessary fat boils off (you know, body, differential, suspension, stuff like that), and serve rapidly. Serves one.

    It's not as dangerous as it looks. Those buildings are made with special impact-absorbing "runnoff bricks."
