Dear Terry,
I was permanently scarred, by not having a go-kart. I had the
good fortune to get to drive my cousin's go-kart. My uncle lived in a
small town and he lived in a large house on its periphery. The house
had a *large and long* circle driveway. We used the public road for the
back straight and had a quarter mile D-shaped race course. Great fun,
exhilaration and memories.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
