We had a great time. This was the first time they did this at Conseco. Track was small and slick as ice. Throttle and car control were necessary to do well. The most adorable thing in the world was the kid class for the 5-7 year olds. Some of them were sliding the corners.
There were multiple classes that ran heats, then features. Pros weren't scheduled to do a heat, but they did it anyway. Tony Stewart took the win for the Pros. Tagliani for IndyCar took second. John Andretti took third. You have to remember that both Tony and John are former Indy drivers. The top 3 did some siping to their tires to gain traction between the heat and feature.
If they do this again next year, we will be there!
I thought to take earplugs. The faster karts get pretty loud inside Conseco. The one thing I didn't think about was the exhaust smoke. Especially the TaG class. It got pretty smokey in there toward the end. We smelled of exhaust when we got home.
Now I want a kart to go play with. I bet that would be a huge money pit worse than the Z!
