After a chill and restful night at The Manor in Baguio then savoring grilled Bangus (milkfish) during the Dawel River Cruise in Dagupan, we found ourselves in Tarlac City. It was Go Kart time!

Our destination, KCT Kart City was conveniently located right in front of SM City Tarlac along MacArthur Highway, Brgy. San Roque, Tarlac City.

Kart City Food

Before hitting the tracks, we were served with trays of delicious panizza, Kart City’s specialty.

I could understand why these panizza have become one of Kart City’s best sellers. They’re uber delicious!

Go Kart fever

Empty Go Karts all lined up for us

Short clip of our practice runs

We were subdivided into teams and matched against each other for a relay race.

I was the first karter in our team. The moment I got behind the wheel, I felt my competitive spirit kick-in. A firing of the go signal bought a large pump of adrenaline.

I was already starting to get comfortable speeding past turns like there was no tomorrow when the engine started to falter. Then it eventually died down, which needed one of the staff to run down to the tracks and perform a manual restart. It happened an aweful lot during my turn that everyone had already overtaken me.

Turns out, the problem was the kart running out of fuel. We forgot to check before the race.

All’s good that ends well. We had lots of fun and … our team still managed to avoid finishing dead last :)
