The United States .. One nation under a groove

One of these guys does not quite fit in to this picture. It would have been One nation under a groove if this was the way it played out though.

K1 Speed Indoor Go Kart Racing in Torrance, California

louiebaur — Wed, 13 May 2009 12:58:12 +0000

I decided to check out the K1 Speed Indoor Go Kart Racing in Torrance, California yesterday and brought the wife down to check it out with me. The Torrance track is the newest track built by K1 Speed and has a concrete surface rather than a asphalt surface.

The concrete racing surface offers slightly less grip than asphalt, making the task of setting one fast lap after another that much more challenging. When you are on hard conrete you have to work the brake and throttle a little differently and you can take advantage of the concrete and drift around the corners.

I did 2 14 lap runs and wow was I tired. It felt like I just went to the gym or something. Granted I am completely out of shape but that does not change the fact that you are constantly working the gas and cruising at speeds up to 40 mph and it is a bit of a struggle to not smash into other drivers or the sides of the course.

This track is not set up to race other drivers which is kind of what you think when you go to a go kart track, this one is all about racing against yourself and gettting the best lap time. Slower drivers move over to the right and you fly around them to trying and get the best lap time. Mine was 34.05 which wasn’t bad for my first time but I have a long way to go if I want to reach the fastest time of the month which was a 26.55. I am sure that little bastard didn’t weigh 245 pounds either, that couldn’t have helped.

Louie Baur Out and About on Easter Sunday

louiebaur — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:19:52 +0000

We started off at our normal spot on 120th and Crenshaw in Inglewood. Got a little bit of a late start today but after an hour or so we were on our way. We cruised down to the Alano Club in Torrance and got some free food, did a few burnouts in their parking lot and then headed on down to Venice Beach. Venice Beach on a Sunny Sunday is always a hoot and we call it the freak show for obvious reasons. After hanging there for about an hour I headed back home to Long Beach. Here are some pics.

John, Mongo, Maverick, Louie Baur in Inglewood

And here we have Busa Ray Displaying his vest in Torrance

Busa Maverick Showing Us His super duper jet fuel 88 Supra

Peeps walking on the boardwalk at Venice Beach

We usually just post up right on the boardwalk until the cops roll us and tell us to bail

Here is a picture of me with my non cool cop shades on

Here is what you will see in the video clip above.

This is a typical ride for us on Sundays. You never know where you are going to end up exactly. Today it was meet up at the spot, grab some grub, go check out Maverick’s car in some garage in LA and then down to Venice Beach to check out the Freak Show. Its always fun to watch Sidewalk Records slinging their cd’s. A shout out to Sidewalk Records from the Busa Boys yo!

DIGG gets in on April Fool's Day with Pop-Up Shenanigans

So Digg decided to celebrate April Fools Day by having a variety of pop up windows appear for about the first 12 hours of the day when you went to go digg something. There were about 25 popups that came flying out of all angles. As annoying as it was it was pretty funny. I am glad they didn’t do that shit all day long it got old fast!
