Yeah buddy, the Frtio-Lay Chips Ahoy Bud's Elbow Salve Kart was runnin real good tonight. We couldn't have done it without the help of Tom's Bunyon Cream, Extra Pickled Lobster Tails by Freddie's, and of course our Briggs and Stratton engine.

Shake-n-bake!

They used to lay out a Nascar style track. I think it was once a week, but just for the people that 'proved' themselves as competent drivers. It was kind of dangerous because you could go around almost flat... so speeds were a bit high and the risk of crashes was high too.

The facilities at GKR are nicer than LMK, but the equipment at LMK is better. What's up with the rollbars and seatbelts. I hate those things.

Also, they tried running outside, but they got the neighbors complained so they took apart the outdoor track. I got to run it once before they closed it. It's fun cause it's really grippy.

That was soooo nice outside, I watched minisupermoto there, wish they still had it.

Malibu Gran Prix FTW...its not about the crappy carts, its the fact they are all the same, the track is amazing, if only it were banked and had elevation. But its the only place ive actually raced cars, but iv seen LMK and GKR and dont think id like it, especially for $50!

Malibu is $24 all day laps i think tues or thurs,plus free tokens for initial D and a game of mini golf

$3 early bird laps, if youre an early bird...

^It's really hard to comapare Malibu to GKR or LMK...they're two different activities. Malibu is geared toward kids and family fun (just took my 9 year old son there last weekend), and the others are more of a wheel to wheel competitive environment. You really should try them out to find out how much better it is.

Yeah, you don't even get to 'race' anyone at Malibu. They complain when you come in with the tires falling apart. They are a different kind of fun, but so different.

I know at LMK the average speeds are about 30mph, which isn't that fast, but when your but is skimming the ground, it feels pretty fast. The karts also have no roll.

I agree... try the other karts and see what happens. If you try it once and like it, LMK has frequent drivers cards. They also have promotions every once in a while.
