When did they add this?

it was about a couple weeks ago. i went one week, and came back again the next week and now right after turn one there is this bulge that you have to weave around. it is very hard to pass anyone there now as well since there is not that much space.

i suggest going in the afternoon time between 12-2, you get 20% off. http://www.lemanskarting.com/promos.php plus you get the whole track pretty much to yourself. it's a good time to get your times down.

I am just guessing, you wiegh about 140lbs? see, I weigh 275lbs. In a 5-10HP kart+ a kid with down syndrome could pass me.

yeah if your really looking to find the best lines to take on the track, around that time is really the best time to get good practice in. when i went last week, it was only me and my cousin on the whole track so we didn't have to worry about anyone else and could really focus on our own driving. i brought my time down by 1.5 seconds!!

I'm a fatty 195 lbs asian (6'0") and I average mid 19's. Did they make the bulge bigger recently?

I was there tonight. There were some changes to the track compared to a month ago. There is a big chicane between T1 and T2. Going into T3 seems a bit narrow but the exit is very wide. T4-T6 are pretty much the same. They got rid of the 90 degree corner at T7 and made it a smooth corner leading out to the straight. I weigh 195 and managed to run consistent mid 20's. My best lap tonight was 20.358.
