speedring is ***. the marshalls are all ***********. They dont even want you to drive the karts hard and they'll black flag you for even thinking about pushing the kart. I much rather spend my money at Lemans.

yeah.. i used to like speedring a lot.. but they have blackflagged me a ton there..
i'd say le mans or go kart.
but i know a lot of ppl who go either way:
love go kart racer and hate le mans and vice versa
generally, i go either. just whereever my friends want to drive and have some healthy competition

I just went to lemans for the first time. Fun as hell. loved it. Got my *** handed to me but it was fun as hell....but they do need big man sized suits. Mine had holes in all the wrong spots and made me feel like the big man in a little coat.
but that place is good stuff.

I will have to disagree with you on that.
Lemans Karting marshalls couldn't care less about safety.
IMO, Speering is better, because the marshalls are constantly aware of what is going on.

The track at Lemans allows you to go faster compared to Speedring.
Either way, you will enjoy it.
