Here's my top ten list of things I'll remember from the 24 Hours of America endurance kart race:
10. Racing is extremely addictive and "24 Hour Race" is just another way of saying "binge".
9. I'm addicted to racing.
8. Busch/Nascar drivers can actually drive!
7. It costs $180 for a cab ride from Fort Lauderdale Airport to Moroso. Lesson learned: rent a car.
6. There is at least one person on earth who snores louder than I do.
5. Even though it's 24 hours, everyone drives as if this lap is the one for the championship... Even the guys who are 20 laps down.
4. Martin can consume liquids at world record speeds.
5. Make sure the fuel cap is tight. I might want to bring NOMEX gear next time.
3. Bring a change of clothes or else you'll be forced to go to Loehman's and buy discounted designer jeans and cute sweaters.
2. You're not magically going to become the most talented guy on the track within 24 hours no matter how hard you try.
1. The accelerator pedal only goes so far. Jamming it into the ground doesn't make the kart any faster. It just cuts off circulation in your foot and your foot gets sore and numb. It generally takes 12 hours before you figure this out.
