“What’s he doing?”

“From here, it looks like he’s going around the track.”

“He can’t do that.”

“Who’s going to tell him?”

“You think he’s got telemetry?”

“Look at his gear. What do you think.”

“Let’s call the track judge and have him give him a red flag.”

“It may work, but I wouldn’t count on it.”

“Why’s that?”

“You think he even knows what the red flag means?”

“Good point. He’s going to be in big trouble when the rest of the field laps him.”

“They’ll try to avoid him, right?”

“If they see him.”

“We better have the judge hit the caution flag and get everyone to slow down.”

“Good thinking. Hitting that lawnmower at 200 Miles per hour won’t do either any good.”

“Look, he’s turning onto the infield.”

“Call the police.”

“Wait a minute. He’s doing a victory donut.”

“Call the network and get a reporter down there. This might be a good PR story.”

“What? An old guy on a go-cart causing the race to be delayed?”

“Look, he’s standing on the cart with his arms in a v above his head, and the crowd is going nuts.”

“I called the network. They’re heading there with a magnum of cheap champagne.”

“This is epic. The video will go viral.”

“And you and I could be the laughingstock of racedom.”

“For being kind to an old fart. I don’t think so.”

“Maybe, we can sign him for endorsements.”

“Now you’re talking. Let’s get down there.”

“How about the race?”

“Who cares? Oh, wait. Yeah, restart it, then let’s go.”

  6. Fun story, John. You made me think about all the “what ifs”. I wonder if this ride was on the old guy’s bucket list. 😊
