Go-karting, even the word just sounds like fun. In the small town of Jyvaskyla there is only one go-Karting place named ironically, gokart Jyvakala. My sister and I went for a long 7 mile bike ride to the place which is just outside of the town. Finland is a very beautiful country and it was nice to experience all of the nature (and all of the hills). About a block away from the course there was a nice little garden by the lake, we laid down a blanket and had a little lunch which consisted of sandwiches made the day before and sliced carrots.
As I was walking up the old tile stairs I could hardly contain my excitement. Me and my sister put on our helmets and sat down in the very small cars. We were ready for the green light, and I was off-the car was going much faster than I or any of use expected. I soon left my sister in the dust. As I got more comfortable with the car I started to drift around the corners. Coming up on my 6th lap I got a little excited and went too fast around the corner and spun out. In its own way it was kind of fun. I got stuck in a crevasse, but I couldn’t go backwards so I had to hail one of the people working there to help me. As soon as I was good to go, I went and got a new personal best. After the time was up, I did a victory lap and got out with my sister trailing behind to see what our slowest time was and the fastest time.
Well all in all that was a fast and awesome day.
