Rhode Island, the pint-sized powerhouse of the United States, is home to a unique band of adventurers, known far and wide as the "Rhody Racers". This feisty tribe of kids zoom around in their Go-Karts, kicking up dust and laughter in equal measures. Now, some might complain that Rhode Island is so small you could blink and miss it, but that’s the perfect size for a go-kart track! Stretching from the salty beaches of Newport to the bustling streets of Providence, the entire state becomes their playground. Leading this motley crew is the self-appointed "fastest kid in the East," Ziggy Zoom. Ziggy, with his shock of neon hair and goggles permanently perched on his forehead, can often be seen hunched over his beloved speedster, the “Riptide Racer,” tuning its engine for the next thrill-filled expedition. In a state known for its quahogs and clam cakes, Ziggy and his merry band of Go-Karters add a sprinkle of madness and a dash of hilarity to the mix. With their wild races and outlandish pranks, they've turned the smallest state into the biggest adventure land. Rhode Island may be tiny, but it has a big heart, and an even bigger sense of adventure, especially when Ziggy and his Rhody Racers hit the track. They’ll tell you with a smirk, "We might be small, but we race tall!" And with that, they're off, leaving behind only the echo of laughter and the smell of rubber and freedom. So, if you ever find yourself in the “Ocean State” and hear the distant rumble of go-karts, find yourself a safe spot and watch the Rhody Racers roar by. Just remember to duck; Ziggy is known for his splashy mud puddle finishes!
