I went last night and it was insanely fun. I was up and going within three minutes and WOW what an adrenaline rush. The carts handle insanely well and ZIP. I'm addicted after going once.

50 bucks for 3 races, well worth it imo.

Anyone here ever go? My avg lap was 30.111 seconds.

Yeah it's pretty popular. There are discounts all the time too...

Very popular indoor karting with various location around SoCal, San Diego and Seattle...

its hard to compare track time due to different layout at various locations, how many racers at that day....and they do change their layout from time to time....

I've gone a few times but the only people that can compete are tiny asian dudes and women. If you weigh in the 200 pound range, don't bother unless you don't mind coming in last... lol

in Shanghai they have a staging area before u race, that's really a full bar....with a sign that says "drink and drive OK"

I love these go-kart places. Unfortunately all the ones I use to go to with the gas karts closed down. There was a coupon on groupon.com a couple days ago for 4 races for $44.

I don't know if it's because the K1 karts are electric, but I always have horrible times at K1 compared to the outdoor tracks that use "gas" karts. I always end up spinning out at K1, that instant torque is just weird.

ya i totally agree with the instant torque its really takes some time getting used to but doesn't ever feel natural at all
