Novices

Attempting to play catchup,
In a go-cart.
As dragsters are passing by,
Fast enough to give one whiplash.
On a track where speed leaves no excuses,
If one should feel trashed by all the action.
This would not be suggested for those less experienced.

And these attempts made by novices,
Are not recommended.
Especially for those requesting instructions,
On how to put on their goggles!
Or waiting to be granted space to join in,
With an acknowledged effort.
And cheers expected 'if' this race they win!
