Hi Doug That's got to be the best use for a golf cart I've heard of 8) I'm not sure it would do anything for my street cred here in the UK though. The main problem here is I usualy travel by motorcycle to race meets, beats the hell out of sitting in traffic jams, parking and camping if needed is cheaper and more convenient.
