#1 Note the incorrect last line - apparently it's home to 2 and a half Formula One racers - at least until this guy moves up through the classes, as he seems intent on doing.

#2 7 police cars chasing a go-kart and couldn't catch him. Not enough to do? Incompetent? You'd think they'd wanna keep this one on the QT

#3 I don't know Frank. I had a go-cart as a kid and remember my cousin loosing a drunken cop on it.

The cart could go through backyards, alleys, gardens behind pretty girls cruising in their sometimes hot 60s and early 70s muscle cars.

One drunken cop just didn't have a chance.

I was watching Star Trek and the drunken cop rang my bell and wanted to arrest me. I was totally clueless. Dad showed up about then and mom came out of a back room - none of us knew what he was talking about

So we headed out to the unlocked unattached garage and the cart was right in the middle of it with a smashed glass jar in front.

We agreed with the cop that it was likely my go-cart but disagreed that I was driving it . The cop desperately need to relieve himself (he had a lot of beers and was known as an alky...) and he agreed that I didn't look like the person he was chasing so he told us to lock our garage in the future.

When we went back in the house after he left I heard my cousin shout out from under my bed.. "Is it okay to come out now?"

Case solved for us....

BTW.... I loved my cart far too much.... I still carry scars.

#4 Oh, and I was much more careful. I would call up a friend whose father ran the tavern the cop liked and ask what state he was in. If it was about time for his wife to drag him home to dry out then I knew it was time to raise hell.
