> COOT RACING
> I'm and old coot who has been a NASCAR fan for 50 years. But the long walk from the parking lot to the front stretch grandstand is getting to be too much, so I acquired one of those little battery powered scoots that fill the gap between walking with a cane and riding in a wheelchair. It is not very fast.

It didn't take long for me to find out that this thing was never intended to race. It pushes like a dump truck going into a corner and gets wicked loose coming off. I think I might have a little too much gear in it. But with 180 pounds of flab on board, it has plenty of down force.

I found it all rather hilarious. And I hope it's a good while before you're in need of that kind of scooter, just try to stick with the kind you got now if possible. I'm enough of a race fan to understand everything in it, but I'm not a hardcore fan. Terry Labonte is my fav. But great job on the short, it was truely funny! G'day!
