Our friend Bill organized an outing to Shanghai last Saturday to have lunch and ride go-karts at an indoor track in Pudong. We had a group of seven guys, including Bill's driver Derek. We set out late morning, stopped for a little shopping at the knock-off market, had lunch at a great burger restaurant, then a couple very fun hours of car racing at the track.
I suspect we will never see a go-kart track in the U.S. that has a full bar at trackside to quench the thirst while waiting one's turn to drive. The races definitely separated the men from the boys - our Welsh colleague, Paul was the most skillful and our English colleague Paul was the fastest, mostly due to his light weight stature. Bill and I dominated the "over 100 kilo class" and did our best to keep faster cars from passing us. This was good clean (slightly drunken) fun and I highly recommend such an afternoon adventure. The next "man outing" will be to attend the Formula 1 races in Shanghai in April.
