Anyway, he was able to recruit this rag tag team of drivers from his day job to compete in this charity Go Grand Prix Go Kart race. What we didn't know was this team would race against teams who compete on a regular basis at events like these. 
[TOP: Ripka #30 holds off a band of drivers who couldn't pass her for the bulk of her portion of the second heat. Team TOG held on to win this heat of competition. BOTTOM: BRoessler, CSchrieber, Ripka, Pohlman, and Svir know that #2 is almost as sweet as #1]
At the end of three heats of racing (each 45 minutes long), Team TOG finished second over-all out of 53 teams! While they may not be ready for NASCAR, they had enough fun to want to do this again next year. Having never followed this stuff in the past, once I kinda knew what was going on, it was really quite exciting.
