there were no suits at the one in santa clara, just the head sock and helmet, and all the head socks are fresh and clean.

Pretty sure the credits are good at any location.

The customer service aspect is very good at pretty much every karting place in the bay. It's the driving experience that varies. The track layout at K1 Santa Clara is boring as hell.

Me and a buddy were talking about this.. The yelp reviews turned me off so we didn't go..

Check out lamans karting in fremont

We entered a team event it consisted of around 80 laps so each group had plenty of racing time..

If you guys are serious we should set up an I-club karting event

A little pricey but at least it's gas powered also if you qualify with the fastest lap you get the shifter kart

Cheers

I didn't know LMK had shifter karts. Do they just let anyone drive them?

I agree with all of that.

Do you think someone can take advantage of a shifter kart at LMK?

The average Joe? No. LMK is already a handful for decent drivers on a TaG.

So if you qualify with the fastest lap time for the race, they put you in a shifter kart? That is awesome! I am so there.
