GoCart Madness 2008


The pictures and the story are backward as I forgot that you should upload the items in reverse order. Robert was the last driver, thus he shall be first. Mark was the first driver and so shall he be last. So let it be written, so let it be done...so let the GOCART BLogPost Begin!

Robert going so fast that my Canon 3.2 megapixel camera can't keep up with him. I took two blank frames before successfully(barely) catching him at the edge of this shot.














Robert "Earnhardt" Higginson flips the crowd the bird...or says he's number one, or something as he scorches the track coming out of pit row.

Robert went on to run faster than anyone else who spun out on most of their laps.














This guy may as well try to rebound against Nairn in high school as try to keep up now that Nairn has passed his rear-end.

You go, MREO!














Nairn "FLASH" Higginson on a hot lap. Nairn doesn't have a "coming out of the pits", due to the fact that I was still in the pits.

This race was not the pits. It rocked!!!

The "flash" refers to the hike on Nairn's shorts!














Richard on one of his hot laps....
Custom photography by Mark Comcast.

: )














Richard coming out of the pits in style....Scott Archibald's shirt and Kirkland jeans!

You go, boy.












John R. Strrrrreeeeeeaaaaaaaakkkkkssssss by on one of his hot laps.
















John "Sexy Legs" Richardson steams out of the pits on his way to Cart Glory. Despite the aerodynamic drag from his woolly legs, John posted respectable times.













John H starts another of his "hot" laps. We called him Hot Laps Houlihan.

Not really.













John "BLAZE" Higginson- certainly the most optimistic racer at the start of the event- leaves the pits with a New York Salute to the crowd of onlookers. He will go on to dominate many portions of the track.














Mark Cruises past the GrandStand on one of his "hot" laps. Go Speed Racer, Go!













Mark "Tight" Higginson leaves the pits in a cloud of smoke. The smoke didn't show up on the picture. Mark created a fantastic opportunity for some of the men in the family to spend some fun time together. Mark also was the first to race...thus providing valuable lessons for those who would follow.














John "Sexy Brown Eyes" Richardson relaxes before the heats begin. With eyes like that, is it any wonder Lisa just had to have him forever?













Lynn Dad, former NASCAR team owner and current coach of the Bountiful DREAM CART TEAM. He looks skeptical of the outcome.














The enthusiastic and optimistic racers pose for a pre-race, post-rule-sheet-pickup photo. Notice particularly the confident pose of each racer.

I still believe I should have won the Mustang.
If coach had put me in, we would have taken state.
I'll bet I could drive a go kart over them mountains.

I win, just dominate.

PS. WWJD for a Klondike bar?

Great post. You should try to do this more often (though I'm a hypocrit for saying so since my last blog was the beginning of June.) Anyway, looks like fun.
