Reasons why karting is like sex

I just came back from an afternoon of go-karting and had a great time. After going over stories of passes, crashes, strategy and all the fun stuff, I got to thinking: Racing and sex have a lot in common...

- It's pretty fun by yourself, but it's even more fun with other people involved. In fact, the more people there are, the more interesting things become.

- Although having too many people, will just cause a mangling of body parts, confusion and chaos.

- Going at it without the proper safety precautions could end up in a world of trouble.

- The more things get physical, aggressive, and borderline violent, the more fun it is.

- Make enough wrong moves and your can wind up in awkward and embarrassing positions.

- You might pick up some stuff by studying videos, but you'll get the most benefit by just going out and doing it.

- You'd like to see everyone finish, but you always try to finish first. And if you do, who cares about the other results.

- If you don't come out of a session drenched in sweat, sore, exhausted, possibly limping, and satisfied, you probably weren't doing it right.

- Even after a long day of going at it, you still have a urge to go back... once you recover from the injuries.
