The Vroom....
I snuck off to JB with some of the WPN photographers (WS, Kelvin Koh & Eng Hong, together with WS's friend, Suter) for a very fun session of Go-Karting in JB this morning... heheehe.... yes I need a break desperately these days....
Thanks to WS (Feldberyl Images - do check out his new revamped website too!) who organized this little road trip, I got a mini-break from all the editing work and pumped up the adrenaline on the tracks in this Go-Kart Club inside JB.
Boy, it was shiok lor... I have tried Go-Karting in Singapore (Toy-Karting in this case), Taipei Indoor Track, Brunei Night Track and Batam Open Track but seriously, this track is really something as well as the Go-Karts they have are of different caliber! Again, I discovered I have heavy pedal feet so subtlety in controlling the GoKart from entrance - exit in hairpin curves on the track resulted in either lost of control and tailspin the car or too much drifting till lost power in the momentum. It's really being a long time since I played a Go-Kart....
But it was sure addictive and cheap! I can only imagine how much we would have to fork out to play like this in Singapore! This experience also made me appreciate and admire those F1 drivers more coz of the rigorous demands on their mental and physical aspects that's required of them when they drive their F1 cars @ above 300mph and going for so many rounds. I was quite bushed out after 9 - 10 laps total and going @ a pityful 30 - 50 km/hr
Anyway, here's some pics to share :)

hehhe.. you should! Get his friends to join him as a nice get-together!
But driving in will be quite a punishing affair without SUVs/ terrain cars coz it's about 3.5KM thru a Palm oil plantation from the main roads so arrange for a good transport! :)
