arent they gonna be electric karts? i am still trying to figure how these gusy plan on having these carts run all day, must be some kind of super charging system

anyway, i am down... imma wait a couple weeks though til the hype dies down. looks kinda expensive too. i still think the go karts down in redwood city are the **** if you get the all day unlimited rides pass.

yeah they are electric and IMO its a better setup then gas.. The ones in vegas at pole position are awesome and dont have issues running all day.. Cool thing is the instant tq of them which makes it a tad more even for the fat kids out there since you dont have to wait for the power to come on as much.

hmm... Is it just me, or does that track seem kinda weak?

I guess I am just too used to the Supertrack at GKR.



60 second lap times FTW

The track is much better then Lemans, RPM, Pole position vegas and the GKR monza and yoko track. I wouldnt call it weak by any means. Just not as long as the supertrack or RPM's full track.

someone has been to a lot of these indoor kart places. the track at this place looks like it has a nice flow to it.
