What a cool spot!

They were running arrive and drives and some people had brought their karts. I only had time to do one session but I loved it. The karts are plenty fast, very rewarding to drive and not bog, neutral...just what you'd want. The course is challenging and demands you carry speed for a fast lap time. My best laptime was 59.8XX....they said it was pretty good for the first time, but they don't have times posted anywhere online to compare. They said under a minute is good.

I am really interested in going back there when I have more time. I think an all day event might be too much if the temps are warm. 3 sessions run $70...that would be a good start for an event.

SMB...your video shows a good line through there but your early apexing is killing your momentum when you have to lift at/after apex. The guy (Jonny) told me you should be full throttle from the hairpin right all the way to T3. That really demanded you setup for the last turn before the straight all the way back at the hairpin by staying track right on exit. If you get it wrong you just can't get full throttle through the rest of the complex. I like tracks that make you pay for not being spot on 2-3 turns before.

It might also be fun to get an enduro team together.

What do you say?
Im down!

I love that place; I'm to the point of asking them about an annual membership deal.

I think towards the end of the video you can see me going full throttle through Turn 1 and 2, apexing a bit later. By the end of the day I didnt let off the throttle or touch the brakes from the last 180 horseshoe at the end of the course until right before turn 3.
