"The Fast and The Furious : Mysore Drift..."

No I didn't get the title wrong... Actually we went go-karting yesterday at a place called Planet X just 4Kms outside Mysore. Its supposedly the biggest go-karting track in Karnataka. It sure is big and cheap too, just 120 bucks for 10 laps or 10 mins whichever is earlier. Of course with the lap times we clocked, we were on the track for a little over 7 mins (this meant that we had to do it for a second time).

It felt so good to lay my hands on something gasoline powered after such a long time (3 weeks is a really long time for a speed junkie like me). Now to the fun part... we were drifting in the carts. The track had really nice curves (the concrete surface and the bald racing tires further helped the drift). The best lap time for the track is 35 secs and we got to only about 42 secs. So you know what this means... We'll be back there the next weekend to better it .

P.S: If you don't know what "drifting" means then this post isn't meant for you...
