That's why you gotta go with a lot of people. Fill the field.



Seriously, can we get a group of 12 together and make a reservation?

I think 12 karts on the track would be awesome. And if it is all competent drivers, it will be even more awesome.


We should get them to use their safety kart and do a rolling start too.

hahaha, seen it a hundred times. people have extreme tunnel vision (literally looking 5' in front of their kart and no more), and it's compounded once you put a helmet on someone for the first time. and people don't know the radius either.

come on, how are you surprised?! people would do this on the open road! you need to expect all levels of experience out there, from seasoned vet to total newb.

i think they will only do standing start from what i saw there.

but yes, great idea, let's get that track filled with iclubbers.

let us know! i'm out this weekend though.

and i guarantee one of us can break 22 seconds, if you really focus on hitting apexes right on.
