    So I am running the Karting Skusa super nationals this year at Vegas. As you know Scott Speed has been a two time winner of the Supernats. Speedtv just announced today that Scott along with his brother will racing the Supernats. Also running will be Alex Barron and AJ Aldeminger. I am really excited and cannot wait. Will be a real treat race against the best of best. Hope some of you can come out and watch. Here's the article.

    If he doesn't improve his F1 driving at STR soon, I might be racing against him in the supermarket aisle with my buggy and Luca in the basket.

    Very cool. AJ is quite a karter himself, so you should have a challenge on your hands. Good luck.

    Thanks everyone for your support. I highly doubt I will beat him, I would be very pleased I could even run with him. I have raced against him before, but that was before he started racing cars. I am just grateful that I will have the opportunity to run against an F1 driver.

    See if you can't get him to do his hiccup laugh that he did in Turkey for you.

    He has been consistently beating AL ever since Canada. He is now the better of the two drivers. His real issue is that when he screws up, he tends to take the car out with him. He is an expensive driver to have on the team, but his speed seems to improve each week.

    It's also worth noting that he has passed more cars on the circuit than anyone else this season. Yes, he has started near the back, but he has had a lot of company back there with him that don't make their way back up in the field.

    Try and talk to him. I want to know if that pseudo-Euro dialect of his is fake, or if that's how he really talks.

    I spoke with a someone who went to school with him, I won't name the person. This person let me know that he has an unusual sense of humor, and laughs at just about everything. And yes, when he talks he is normally loud. When I was at INDY for the race, on Thursday I was the last one at his autograph session, was able to get a family photo (Me, Scott, Mike and Julie) and he does have an odd sense of humor. He put on this SF accent that was rather amusing.

    I think it is great that he is going to Vegas to race against his friends and colleagues and just wants to be in the top 5. He could be like some of the other racers who have a major attitude. He just wants to have some fun away from work.
