Karting at Streatham

The three birthday celebrants (Carmen, Raquel and Ana F.) treated us to karting at Streatham Kart Raceway. As much as I hate driving, I just had to go. And it was great! We had 25 heats, 5 racers doing 4 laps per heat. We all did 5 heats, then the top 10 racers by points went on to the finals.

As expected, I was always the slowest. By the second heat, I wanted out. Still, I'm glad not to finish last (ok, 18th out of 25--24 girls and a guy). I don't think I'd do another grand prix again (partly because it's it's tiring and partly because it's expensive--our three hours were worth over £1000), but I had a really cool time.
