SDKA Roars Around Qualcomm Stadium
SDKA stands for San Diego Karting Association. That is, of course as in Go-Karts. They really do tear it up!

SDKA Go-Kart Racer Blasts By Me
I’ll just say now that I was not able to get as close as I wanted or stay as long as I wanted. SDKA races are a little strange because there is no one on a loudspeaker telling you who is winning or how many laps are left. You have to figure all that out on your own.

SDKA Racers Battle For Position Around A Hairpin Turn
The racers that spend their Sundays are creating history for the San Diego Karting Association and they don’t even know it. They are the inspiration for a whole new generation speed demons and gear-heads!

The Bright Colors Of SDKA Racers
I covered an SDKA race back in September, and at that time, it was bloody hot out. Back then, I wondered why some racers wore black and others wore bright, peacock colors. I still wondered that on this day, even though the weather was perfect, probably around 75 degrees.

*sigh* I Realize Now That They Are All Pointing To The Left
OK, for all the pics in this post, I was more or less in the same physical spot. I had every intention of moving all over that damn football stadium parking lot, but aches of the head told me otherwise.

Someday, An SDKA Racer Will Befriend Me So I Can Try This Sport Out
San Diego Go-Kart Racing looks like a lot of fun. I don’t know who won or who the SDKA Heavyweight champion is, but I bet that if I was racing it would be me! See more pics from a race I covered back in August here.
