Proof Adults Can Have Fun Just Like KidssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #life7 years ago

I remember as a kid taking weekend trips up North to a popular summer hot spot. A little city called Brainerd.

It's where all the cidiots (that's city + idiot, a term coined by the locals up North) would go to get away from the hustle and bustle. Lots of beautiful lakes and right on the Mississippi River. You could spend all day on the water, tubing, jet skiing, water skiing, chilling at the sand bar. But my favorite thing to do when going up north was hitting up Gasoline Alley!!!

Go Karts Bitches!

This was probably close to 20 years ago however, and Gasoline Alley hasn't even been in existence for what seems like forever ago. I can still replay wipeouts and getting smashed in the barriers going what felt like 100mph, probably was closer to 20. I thought my go karting days were over for sure. Until a new place opened not far from my house. They offered kids carts, and adult carts, which top out at 45mph.

Sign me up!!!

I was on daddy duty yesterday morning while the wife was out to do what most wives do. Shop for shit they don't need. We had agreed on a time for her to be home by, and sure enough she was back in time to relieve me of my child watching duties. Me and the boys made our way.

Super Senna not pictured because he was just too fast.

Technology has come along since Gasoline Alley.

When you finish the race, they have print outs for each race with all the times and rankings throughout all their raceways. Pretty cool to compare races with your buddies. I finished 1st in the first race, then 3rd, and then 5th. Everyones times got better after each race. My 5th place time would have taken 2nd place in the 3rd race. So it was cool to see everyone learn the track the more we raced it.

It was a nice release for all of us old men to get away from the wives and kids and act like kids ourselves. Even if my body is hurting like hell today. It was worth it.

Happy weekend y'all. Thanks for checking in and Steem on!

Looks as though you had a blast.

We had an absolute blast! Not sure where you're at, but the place is called MB2, and they have multiple locations throughout the country. VIP status definitely helps to guarantee your time slots, well worth it.
