NetBeans on Go-carts

Petr Pisl from the NetBeans J2EE team organised a great trip - we went far away from Prague for go-cart racing. A group of almost 30 NetBeans guys including developers, quality engineers, 1 site director, 1 child and few wives/partners/lovers decided to spend their Friday evening by racing in an old factory with 4 floors, rebuild into one big race. Lots of gas everywhere, we were dirty like if we were crawling through chimneys, but it was real fun. The carts drove up to 60 km/h (which is... 37.3 mph) - quite a nice speed inside of a building full of curves and narrow tunnels.

Here is one videoclip and few chosen photos:

Everybody has hopefully survived, although the owner of the race told us a freaking story about a guy who crashed into one of the pillars and had to be taken to the hospital - the track was indeed dangerous. Sometimes there was almost no space left between the cart and the walls - and there were some crashes behind sharp corners, so we came home with few bruises.

We got quite thirsty after all that racing and Pavel took his harmonica and guitar so we were also singing and dancing (well, or at least trying to). Let's call it a teambuilding :-)

One of those mornings...

For everyone who was there - and for other curious people, here is a photo gallery from my camera:

If you want you can send me the other albums as well and we can publish them on one place.

Update: Stepan's photos are here:

*Sigh*, I should learn how to take photos.
