Even a small slide could cost you a few tenths of a second.

Negative. I used to roll with all the Norcal 240 cats there all the time (my buddy still works there) and we never got a discount outside our buddy just hooking us up with his free runs

do they make you pay up front for everyone or place a deposit of some sort?

these indoor karts are all right, fights the bug for a bit and they aren't too expensive.

holy! smooth wins.

i've heard of people not using the brakes and just turning to scrub off speed. what do you guys do? for me, i use the brakes. not much, but i use it. of course, this is for GKR's super track.

Yup.

So if it's just you and 2 of your buddies (been there) you get to go and wait and wait and wait. I had to wait 2 hrs one time for the slot.

2hrs farking wasted. I will NEVER go to GKR again unless it's with a group with reservations.

if we're going to reserve as a group, can individuals call to give them credit card information instead of one person taking all the responsibility?

i've been pretty lucky with GKR lately. after the holidays and the economy going this way, they have been quite slow. we should make this happen. i purpose april 5th after 5 p.m.
