I just went today at lunch. It was me and two other guys doing a sprint with no practice.
My best lap time was 20.003 which is really upsetting. I couldn't break 19's!
They really stickied up turn 6 from when I last encountered it so it made it a lot faster. My problem was every lap, I screw up somewhere and lose time. I came in 1st overall, even though I started over a lap behind (last out of pits AND the engine died). But the other dude pulled a really good lap of 19.9 to take "1st in fastest lap".

yea lunchtime's a good time to go seat time wise. If you get there right when they open they seem to be fairly empty.
edit: still can't get lower than 20.5.

We usually go Saturday morning, but it's sometimes busy and the track is cold. The fastest times are usually in the evening, when the air is cold, but the track is still relativley warm. My fastest lap got beat (as I expected) but quite a bit.
PS - The track is really good right now (at least it was on Saturday).

Just got back from Lemans karting for the first time. Fastest lap I got was a 19.801. Wasn't too busy there tonight so my group did 3 practice sessions at once. What a workout! My arms are so dead. Way more intense than autocross! Will defintely go back again.

I was out there last night for the enduro and hit my best time yet - 18.899. There were a lot of good people there, everyone hit into the 18's almost.

Went to Lemans Karting tonight. The track configuration have been changed since I was there last (maybe 2 or 3 months ago). I thought I was hauling ****, until this guy from Carr Parts Santa Cruz/Napa, lapped me in a race. My fastest laptime was 19.179. The guy that lapped me had a fastest lap of 18.920. I was happy to finish second despite being lapped.
