I won't be home until next spring, so i'll prolly miss the first few events. No biggie - stuff happens, but i don't want to forget everything i've learned this past season.

Keep the shiny side up and see you later, mates.

i feel you about be over there and not being able to stay sharp. i got back in may08 and the first time i jumped back into a kart, it wasnt the same. like everyone has said read up on a lot of racing/technique material. the only thing is, when reading on techniques/tips, you want so bad to go out and try it. be safe out there!!!

When my racing season winds down, I usually unpack the kart I've got, and in Colorado, we can typically use them thru early December. Once December rolls around I've got another place that I like to go and play:

For anyone somewhat local (or willing to travel), this was filmed out at the Bridgestone Winter Driving School in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The school has classes that range from safety related all the way up to racing programs that teach advanced rally techniques. www.winterdrive.com
