Quote: a 5HP go-cart wont turn 90 degrees at full throttle.....
If you play chicken w/ your buddy in your go-karts make sure you both turn left when driving towards each other, NOT, you turn left and I'll turn right....think about it for a minute.
Which brings us to:
If you are playing chicken with your buddy and he turns right when you turn left, a steel basketball will stop your kart immediately and you will talk in a funny voice for a while...if you can ever catch your breath.
That kind of planning makes a match of chicken less fun. Safer, but a lot less fun. Might as well just not try to run each other off the playground (Basketball pole?) at that point.
