I took my daughter go carting today. We had a blast. I may, however, have gotten a weeee bit too competitive. Frown. I PIT maneuvered some other kid who thought rubbing is racing. It was a perfect PIT threw him a perfect 180.

Ok I suck......but I like to think of it as a vaualble driving and physics lesson. Razz

If he can't handle it, there's a bench. He can sit and sip his hot chocolate and cry.

I don't understand why you'd think that was a valuable lesson to the kid. There's nothing sportsmanlike about ramming people and causing them to spin or crash while racing. I mentioned it in another thread about a month or so ago, but I got whiplash from colliding with someone during a karting session and a friend tore his MCL when someone sideswiped him and sent him into a barrier. So cut that shit out. If you have an issue with the way the kid is driving, point him out to the track minders and let them deal with it.

Dude it was low speed go carts. Kid was laughing the whole time. I apologized after and the kid said it was a blast.
