Go-karting

    There are so many things to pick from to do for fun in the summer.  Just to help you out I will tell you the answer, go-kart racing.  I would encourage anyone that likes to have a good time and see some action to come out to the track.
    Here are some of the pros to being a racer.  You never have to wonder what to do during the day.  You can prep your tires, wash your kart, and get all your stuff packed up and in the trailer ready for the upcoming race.  When you race more than one track you even have more things to do!  You will have to adjust your gears and tire pressure according to which track you are going to.  Even if you just race one though, there always seems there is plenty of things you will need to fix on your kart.  Trust me, doing these things is actually fun!  All you have to do is listen to music while doing this and you can make it like a little party for yourself!  Another advantage is that you will get a very toned arms and body.  The karts are decently heavy (depending on what class you are in or how much you weigh) and you will have to lift them a lot.  Also removing the engine and trying unbolting stuff can give you an arm work out.  Another bonus is you can get a great tan if you work in the sun!
    There are many classes (groups of karts you will race with) to choose from.  You don’t have to worry about racing against too skilled people, because there is a class for beginners, and other categories to pick from too.  So don’t even worry about being nervous, because there are always new people wanting to race, and you will end up racing with them too if you choose to.
    At the race track there are many friendly people.  They are also very humorous.  People are always willing to lend you a hand and loan you a tool or gear.  You will also notice that before the race the other people always are giving people thumbs up or coming to you to say good luck.  That is because when you are out on the track you are out there to have fun, but you can still be a little competitive, just don’t go overboard or the other racers might make a plan to take you out.
    Your grandparents, family and friends will enjoy watching you race too!  You can bring a grill to the track and have a cook out with your family!  If you have a close family friend race too, then you can invite them and have an awesome barbecue!  The best part overall has to be that you get to go fast out on the track!
    I am not going to lie to you and say there is no bad parts in racing, but it’s nothing that you can’t fix!  This sport happens to take a little bit of cash.  I am pretty sure though if you got a little summer job it won’t be that big of a problem.  One other thing is that sometimes the track can be a slight distance away, especially if you get really serious into your racing.  If you want to race against good and competitive people to have a challenge you might have to race a track that maybe is even in another state!  I know this might sound a little bit miserable, especially if you hate car rides.  But if you really love the sport, which I can guarantee you will if you try it, then it is totally worth it!  You can use all this time to get some family bonding!  You could also bring a friend along and we all know that no matter what having a friend with makes everything exciting.
