I did a 30K-step walk today, and my path to the Han River took me past the Olympic Sports Complex, next to which is a large, multipurpose concrete area that sometimes serves as a drive-in movie theater (they've been showing "Avengers: Endgame" lately), and sometimes serves as a go-cart raceway. Below are two short videos I took, showing a couple avid drivers tooling around the raceway. The first video ends with a near-collision as the first oaf skids out of control and stops himself, forcing the second driver also to skid to a halt. That was some quick thinking on the second driver's part. The second video simply shows our guys whizzing by. Both videos are very short—only a few seconds long. Even the most impatient of my readers will have no trouble watching these vids. Enjoy.
I don't think you can see it in either video, but the guys' helmets have side-mounted GoPro cameras on them to memorialize their experience on the raceway. Fun.
Oh, yeah: in the background, you can see the large, blank rectangles that are the drive-in movie screens, which work only at night. Drive-ins are a neat throwback to a bygone era for me. Nifty to see that some Koreans are keeping the past alive.
(Charles, I hope you're happy that I finally held my phone horizontally.)
You have made my day with the horizontal video, man.
ReplyDelete(Saw the Tolkien post, too--was away for most of the weekend--but I'm waiting for some free time to watch the video and comment. Free time is in short supply this week, though.)
Take your time, take your time.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to post a photo in the comments?
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteNot that I know of. You can post a link to a photo, though.
