He finally runs down from the drivers stand and flips the buggy around and it fires right up. I'm like "DOH ! Sorry about that" He's cool and just chuckles. He goes back up to the stand and I set his buggy on the pit ramp. While he's walking up the stairs he gives a little pull just to keep the motor running and the buggy drives off the pit lane and wrecks into a concrete barrier... and dies. I get it fired back up and he's off but I'm pretty sure he finished last.
We have a ROOKIE in that house. Funny but hold your buddies car till he gets back on the stand please or we're all screaming RUNAWAY!!!!
