Well, time to relitigate every 20th century election using these states...
How many electoral votes does "Virginia" get in this scenario? 300?

11.11.2025 17:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Unfortunately karting has a stigma of being amateurish or unserious, plus you'll never get more than a couple hundred folks as a live audience at an indoor place.
11.11.2025 17:07 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I do think karting has good theoretical mass appeal. It's more driver-focused (i.e. "relatable"), you can put a track anywhere, and anyone can pop down on a Tuesday night to try their hand for fifty bucks and *directly* compare themselves to a pro.
