Crystal Lake, IL
Quoted from RustyLizard:Was in the Wisconsin north woods this weekend and found a couple pins in the Minocqua area. By the go-carts and mini golf there is a Jackbot. Friday night we stopped in a bar for a fish fry and they had a Sopranos. There was a guy playing it who I later found out had all the high scores. I stopped to look as I walked by as I had never seen that machine before. He looks over with a big smile and said, "I bet you haven't played pinball in a long time". I told him not since yesterday, I have 13 of them in my basement. He looked a little shocked. He wanted to know if I owned a vending company and who repaired all of them and so on. Next time I will make sure I have time to knock some of his high scores off. Game was set up really slow. We did end up having a nice conversation but still not sure if he believed me.
That go-cart track has been there forever! We were up there years ago waiting in line for the carts and a guy pulled a cart out of the mechanics shed and put it first in line and walked away. I was 1st in line and was half in the bag. I saw the throttle cover was left off, so I kinda acted like I was looking it over and reached down and bent the throttle limiter back. Needless to say I was quite faster than the rest and hit one of the corners too fast and spun it. I ended up facing the wrong way and said screw it and started going after my buddies forcing them off the track. I had three track employees trying to chase me down on foot and they couldn't keep up. First and only time I have been escorted out of a go-cart/mini golf facility.
