Driven Raceway VIDS (Karting place in rohnert park)

Decided to throw my GoPro on my friend Josh's helmet for a few sessions since hes chasing the track record right now. The Owner of the track has run a 19.31 I believe and in the second vid Josh Runs a 19.39 which is 2nd fastest lap and first fastest outside the owner and first fastest this week including the owner. First vid is of josh and I making our way through a few guys. Im in the white shirt(kart 14) in front of him most the way.

Tons of grip. Actually really surprising how much grip there is for such a new track.

Did you go run some sessions? Or are you judging based off the video?

Video. I like the track layout at GoKart Racer quite a bit. I'll definitely check this place out though, I love go-kart racing.

Its a pretty legit track layout. i wouldnt judge it till you run it. I have been to all the local places and its better then any of the half tracks imo.. I do however like GKR and RPM full tracks they run once a week or whatever it is.

Yeah the track is getting faster and faster too so go back in like a week or two and see what you can do. BTW Fat asses arent at as much of a disadvantage thanks to the intstant tq the electric motors have. I think thats why I like them better, although I still get pulled pretty hard by my friends in the straights(Im 245lbs btw)
