I obviously was wearing my glasses. I was using their helmet and they
didn't say anything about the fact that I kept the face shield open.

Longer than that. The lap record is over 36. I got down to the low 39s.
The fastest one there was 38 something. The fastest in my group was about
.1 faster than my best. I wish they had one more race, since they gridded
you on your fastest lap of the previous race. One more race and I would
have been gridded second. Since the fast karts gravitate to the front of
the grid, I'd probably have a have a shot with a quicker one.
