And I am sore from head to toe today.
Last night I stopped by a friends house, who live about three blocks away. He has 3 BKS Grasshoppers, and when I showed up he had 2 more on the workbench. We talked about the new karts for a bit, then decided to do some hot laps around the neighborhood. As we come down the front straightaway, I passed one kart on the right, and up ahead I see the sign to turn left. the guy right in front of me is slowing down, and I think he's going to turn right, so I move left to pass. I clipped his left rear tire with my right front and went flying. All I remember was being airborne and wondering where the kart was, then tumbling across someone's yard. My glasses and my shoes all came off. After I caught my breath and figured out I wasn't broken, I got to my feet. Everyone else had stopped and was helping me up, picking up the kart and parts, and the night was over. Damage to the kart is the front axle, rear axle, and tie rod are all bent, plus the front turn signal is broken off. Me, I have road rash on the inside of my right arm, both knees, and all down my left side is sore. I went to the hospital today, had a ct scan and X-rays, all came back good. So I'm putting the kart up for the rest of the year.
The worst part is I was going to do some drag races today.
