So my friend and I decided to go run a session at the new karting place thats here in town. Its a electric indoor karting facility and just opened about a week ago.

I love the electric part of it as theres a lot more torque coming out of corners then the gas places, and no loss in straight line speed. The karts handle pretty well and overall I like them just as much or better then the new karts in sac at RPM, and WAY more then the karts at Lemans. The track is pretty technical and there isnt really a groove worked in yet, so it will get a bit faster. The place is nice and about the same size as lemans track wise but in a larger building with some indoor golf stuff and a arcade. Pretty cool setup actually. We ran a few sessions and there is a small variance between karts but not too bad. They actually let my friend and I use two karts that they setup for the owners with different tire pressures and alignments and the Karts felt really good but we both actually ran a few tenths faster in random karts setup just out of the box. As of right now there is 420 people registered that have raced so far and Im sitting in the 9th spot with a 19.90 sec lap, and my friend at #13 with a 19.98. Not too shabby for a guy that weighs 247lbs...... Oh yeah, they have a few hot chicks that work there too.

 

We need to have a meet there!

 

i'm there! i've only been to GKR and LMK, GKR has way hotter girls.

 

Very wise idea, how much did it cost you and how many laps did you get?

BTW: we should do one off of here.

thats a good idea! and would be fun to have a little competition but i donno how many people would be down to pay that much, but as it says you only need 6 people.

 

just go on a buy two get one free day(tue&thur) and then its 3 15 lap sessions for $40. Cool this is is that they will let you buy the sessions on tue or thur and use them whenever.

 

So down!

You guys need to get out there and put some times down so I have something to strive for.

 

well ive never driven a real go kart so i will probably post 2mins...

 

Nah you'll be fine. As of now the track record is 19.29 so I'm six tenths off which is huge. Hopefully next week I can dip under 19.50

 

im down i think rohnert park is about 45min from me

 

btw im out to bring your 19.9 lap time away from you

 

Right on, love a good competition. Get over here and put some laps in man. Let me know when your headed over.

 

Tons of fun today again. The track is getting faster as well. I know theres several suby guys who have gone cause I see plenty of suby names up on the boards.
