Talking top grocery stores for grand prix

to make things more interesting (or nerdy, depends how you want to look at it) I would suggest a S-D1GP (Shopping Kart Drift Grand Prix) which goes to a different grocery store once a month all over the bay (like D1 LOL)

like Ranch 99 in Richmond (its a challenge to dodge customers and not fly into the lobster tank) or a Raley's in Hayward.... even a Costco in SJ or maybe a finals round at SFO using the smart karts (high HP man!)


-i have to admit its really crazy but tape every series, it could be the next big hit since gumball rally

I like to drift the shopping cart. I sometimes look for the best racing line while turning around corners. Sometimes I make sound effects while turning hard.

I've heard of flash mobs and flash pillowfights, and I knew the people that did the SF zombie mob last year, but I think a shopping cart drift would be awesome. Have everyone gather in a store with shopping carts and being shopping like normal. Then at a predetermined time everyone goes crazy and starts racing and drifting their carts around the store. The normal people in the store wouldn't know wtf is going on... oh ya.. for the record I drift my cart too, now I can point my girlfriend to this page to prove I'm not insane.
