Go-Karting Incident...No Pumpkins Hurt

So, with the holiday weekend and the nice weather , it was determined, that we would get out the go-karts and run on the 1/8 mile dirt oval. Now we do this quite often, and we're all pretty good and pretty competitive, or at least I was until this happened. Not all my fault I was primarily attempting to avoid someone that spun out in the corner, hit their kart just slightly but hard enough to damage my kart, bending the control arm and tie rod, which caused the lose of control and then I'm along for the ride straight off the banking of turn 2, and into the pumpkin patch.

And yes no pumpkins were harmed by this accident.

So now I have some repair work.
