The continuing adventures of one man and his kart

29/05/2014 by Davin Sturdivant

It’s been an active few weeks since the last article that I wrote to Sidepodcast about karting. My team, Xccel Racing, has been traveling around the region competing in club level and regional events which has been busy and super exciting.

A normal guy’s introduction into karting

Serious fun and the opportunity to meet, greet and race

01/03/2014 by Davin Sturdivant

We all know that just about every Formula 1 driver started their career in karting, spending tons of dollars racing all over the country.

Red Bull Stratos Launch

Mission to the edge of space

Today is one of those days where the limits of human intelligence, imagination and sheer bravery will be tested. In about 30 minutes, professional Austrian skydiver and basejumper, Felix Baumgartner will be attempting to break the record of the highest free-fall on record while exceeding the speed of sound by jumping out a space capsule. He’ll be jumping 23 miles above the earth’s surface, three times higher than what most commercial jets cruise at. The air is so thin that he should break the sound barrier in less than 40 seconds. Why would anyone do this? We do these things because we’re human beings, and it’s in our nature to find our limits before smashing through them. Besides, the whole thing is sponsored by Red Bull and they love doing insane things like this.

Christine had mentioned the title 'Daniel's Day Out' during the podcast and that was all I needed to want to help out.
