:tab Man I would LOVE to do some laps in those carts!! I wish they would catch on here in the states like they have in other parts of the world. Speed used to show cart racing before they went all NASCRAP. I loved that stuff because it was exciting racing.

During the 1st practice Eddie Lawson was fast enough in his kart to qualify in the middle of the MotoGP grid (based on the 1st day's practice times) ... ;)

Considering they have no roll bar... that is kind of scary :shock:

Yes quite scary ... They are quite forgiving tho ... Typically they'll spin/slide a short distance and just stop b/c there's so little mass ... Although it can get ugly when you have wheel to wheel contact ... :shock:
