Over the holiday break the family decided to go to the Formula One track and try our skills at GoKarting. We all went with the exception of Mason but in his place was Regan's best friend - Jarod. Jarod has lived in Shanghai for 5 years. His mother is an executive for the Holiday Inn group and is responsible for their properties all across the region - Intercontinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express etc. Jarod and Regan have really hit it off and spend lots of time skateboarding, biking and just hanging out.
The GoKart day was quite a bit of fun - albeit quite expensive. We all donned facemasks, helmets and racing gloves and really thought we looked the part until an Italian father and and his 7 year old son appeared at the track in matching racing suits complete with sponsor logos! They even had their own Kart! The kid took off and his dad was timing him and with each pass giving him corrective instructions. Ooookaaayyyy! We took off in order and raced for 10 minutes which was plenty of time for us to make about 5 laps of the serpentine course. Landon had a great time and did a super job for his first time driving - another couple of laps and he'd be ready for the streets of Shanghai!
Enjoy the photos and have a great weekend!
