Karts & Crafts - 17 September 2016

 

The September co-sponsored Fun Italian Automobiles of Tucson (F.I.A.T.) and Southern Arizona Panteras event was "Karts & Crafts" on Saturday 17 September 2016.  We took in some indoor go-karting (the "Karts") at the new Autobahn track in Tucson and then gathered at Barrio Brewing Company (the "Crafts") for lunch.

Getting Ready to Race at Autobahn!

The karting was a blast.  It quickly became clear on who the "drivers" are in our pack as John, Chuck, and Stephen dominated the lead positions. The karts are electric so the torque is instant and speeds up to 50 mph can be had.  As a by-stander it looks like the karts are slow.  But being in the driver's seat is a completely different experience - definitely NOT slow!  It is a great way to get your "need-for-speed" taken care of without getting a costly ticket!

Lunch at Barrio Brewing Company

Lunch at Barrio Brewing Company was very good.  We were able to get parking AND were seated quickly a table big enough where we could all sit together. Our server did a great job taking care of us and did so with a smile (thanks Ivy!).

We had a great time and hope to do this again soon!
