I was up there about a month ago at Famoso. First time out this year, it was hot but fun.

Bakersfield (and surrounding) is a fun area . . . but I have to admit some of my hobbies are different than many.

Now I’m curious! How are they “different”?

Well let's just say that I enjoy the outdoors, some of the common activities in the area, and I don't think the desert and Central Valley and Bakersfield are areas with nothing to do like all of my colleagues and many of my friends do.

I love Wisconsin though I don't think I could move back to SoCal.

Saying that, I do miss the mountains, the beaches, the kart racing community, and my friends.



Adams Kart Track 2005 HPV-4 Heavy


There are only two laws I would like Wisconsin to adopt...

Lane splitting... and no trailers in the left hand lane.

Here is the last lane-splitter I built...



Wes Cooley later signed the cowling...

I'd have to get paid a whole lot to move back.

I feel the same. It used to be a good state, however, in my opinion it has been run into the ground by policy and mismanagement.

I'll agree to lane splitting with the caveat that it is only done at speeds up to 25MPH for the splitter.

I'll respectfully disagree about the trailers in the left lane, unless it was a minimum-speed law like [no trailers in the left lane unless they are within 5MPH of the speed limit] or somesuch.
