    I took a few friends from school to meet with Rick at Dromo this evening for a spirited race. I started on poll with Rick right behind me. On the first lap I go wide for a turn and he cuts me off on the inside. Throughout the race he and I trade places for first with several good passes as well as some "dirty" racing (playing bumper cars). I passed him a few times only to loose the spot again a turn or two later. On the last lap, 3 turns from the end, he is in front of me and I am on his tail...On the last turn to the checkered flag I get in front of him with about a foot and a half of room. He either carried more speed through the corner or had more power in his kart, nudging in front of me to take the win...BY .08 seconds!!!!! I was right next to him screaming some choice words as we go side by side across the finish...I think he heard me...I know I heard him a few times in some of those turns :)

    Great race Rick!! I had a blast :)

    One of these days Ill pass you!

    So funny.

    Jordan is definitely the fastest racer out there, but Rick is the MASTER at the no pass strategy. :)

    Jordan, you are obviously spending too much time at college studying. Less time studying, more time racing.

    Hahahaa you guys are too funny. I will say that Dromo is very addicting. It is just so much fun, especially when you get into a good groove.

    Just another example of old age and treachery over coming youth and talent.
