On Wednesday, 5/29/2013 most of Backblaze took the day off and went to GoKart Racer in Burlingame, California to drive GoKarts. Below are some pictures from the day. The first picture is the sign to the entrance at 1541 Adrian Rd, Burlingame, CA.
Signing in, you can see from left to right Gleb Budman, Adam Nelson, Ken Manjang (in shorts), Chris Grace, Ben Villatore, Ric Marques (shorts), Casey Jones, Cecilia Luu (at counter in blue), Andy Klein, Sean Harris, Yev Pusin, Dave Stallard far right at counter. Taking picture is: Brian Wilson.
Next time we should call in advance and say we won't rent the facility unless they let us drive in our own clothing. These stupid jumpsuits are hot and don't serve any legitimate purpose. Below we are newly dressed and waiting for instructions.
