oilleak - let me know when you plan on going -- i'd like to go as well.

 

sure thing

 

What time on tuesday?

 

Probably around 6:30. Sign in starts at 6. I'm just going to check it out - not gonna race

 

Let us know if it's worth it, you know $'s vs. fun, etc....

 

damn...too early for me to go

 

Went to the Kart track lst night. Looks pretty cool. I'll deffinitely go run there if for no other reason than it's racing less than 10 minutes from me.
The deal is (as I remember) 5 10-12 lap races for $25. The track is about a 1/5th mile paved oval with some banking in the corners. Lap times run about 12 seconds for the front runners so each race is 2 to 2-1/2 minutes. The karts are real racing chassis's, a bit on the older side but looked reasonabley well maintained. They're Briggs & Stratton powered so they're not super fast but they are fast enough to get loose in the turns or spin - which we saw one guy do twice. That's more than I can say for Malibu GP which I don't think you could spin if you tried. At least not without stomping on the brakes. Anyway, looked like fun. Not sure how much of it would be transferable to autox but not a bad way to kill part of a tuesday night.
The program is arrive and drive - you only need long pants and closed toed shoes and be 18 or over. They run a kids program with quarter midgets and the Tuesday night thing helps to support that effort.
Here's a couple of pics - first one is the start of the second heat. I've got a movie too but no where to post it.

 

About 7 karts on track at a time.
