I put my helmet on and listened to the instructor but was so distracted by the track enveloped by the rolling hills of Carneros surrounding us.
We’re at the Sears Point Racing Karting Center – a guys trip, one of our many annual getaways — the longest track in California they say. They will teach us the fundamentals of racing, from, racing lines, acceleration, braking methods, cornering forces and vehicle balance. I’m on total overload!
Of all our guys trips, this year we’ve pulled out all the stops. The track day was stupid-expensive. But hey, you only live once.
