Pete picks me up in his Integra Type R

For my birthday, Pete treats me to my first races at Dromo 1

Dromo 1's Go Karts are gas powered, but not nearly as powerful or fast as the shifters I drove back in 1999

That said, here we get to race wheel-to-wheel with actual record of our lap times

Nomex driving suits...this may be a lot safer than shifters, but better safe than sorry

So typical...Pete parks his car as far away as possible and someone crosses the line to park their truck as close as possible anyway

The BMW M3 is a nice car, but I am still on the fence about flappy paddle shifters
