Honestly, I really wanted to see Danica Patrick in person. I am not a fan but I was just intrigued about her. She is getting a lot of attentions from the fans and the media and I want to see that for my self why.

They have an autograph session at noon for an hour but the line was too long so I lingered around and took some pictures instead. I saw Danica Patrick on one of the four tables they had setup to sign autographs. She is pretty but doesn’t smile too much. I was itching to get an autograph so I decided to line up. But before I was even able to make it to the table, they cut off the line. I was so pissed because there were only three people in front of me.

I didn’t intend to get a garage pass but I bought one anyway so I can have a bigger chance to get closer to the drivers. I was in the garage for an hour checking out the karts when I saw Danica Patrick walking out to the pit area. She was signing some autographs so I ran up to her. I tried to hand her my ticket and pen for an autograph but she  snubbed me and said “No, that’s it.” I was like, what the hell! You don’t say that to a fan. Okay, I’m not a fan but still!!!  What a snobby bitch! I don’t know why the media like her a lot. She’s pretty but not hot. She’s not even that fast on the track. I don’t want sound like a loser but I think I deserve more than that as a fan of the sport. What, she can’t spare two seconds of her time to sign an autograph! Anyway, enough with the rant. Godaddy girl, you can shove your bitchy attitude up your tiny ass.

The last time I’ve raced in this track was 2002 during their grand opening. It has a faster layout and wider track compared to GoKart Racer in Burlingame. The track has plenty of room for passing. We went for the combo package which includes a 10 minute practice, 5 minute qualifying and 15 minutes of heart-pounding race. Thirty minutes of seat time is a total body workout. You are not only using your legs to accelerate and decelerate the kart but your whole body gets tossed around on a turn. Well, technically, you will have to move your body to shift the weight of the kart and get a better drive. Not only that, your arms and hands get a work out too. The distance between the steering wheel and the tires are very close that you feel every centimeters of turning and sliding of the tires. When your drifting or just letting the kart slides, you’ll have to counter steer or correct the turn and you definitely need a strong arms for this or you’ll come crashing to the wall.

Tonight’s race was absolutely fun and please allow me to brag a little, I came first on all the sessions (practice, qualifying and race). My fastest lap time was 22.89. I heard that the best lap time so far in this track is in the high 19′s. That is something to look forward to ;)
