Go-Kart Racing Return

Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you know, I'm sorry. when you have a bunch of near misses, but you miss a lot, you know, uh it's kind of nice to be able to remember, well, you know, it was close if if such and such a had to happen. Is this what your hauler looked like? One of these souvenir people came up with that. I don't know what what they were thinking about, but that was that's so cool. Yeah. I think a lot of people our age, if they're familiar with NASCAR in the '9s, they know you as the Cartoon Network guy. Well, back that's back to like I said the how they did things the old days.
