that's freaken awesome! my buddies and I have been talking about a tournament style kart day for a while now. we really need to get on that at some point.

too slow, real world physics often don't apply and there is always that 1 kart that is just flat out faster than the rest

results may vary, but the indoor karts around my area are shit, last time i went i could FEEL with my finger the difference in tire pressures left to right

Why go indoor karting when we can FRS outdoors heh

That's because you're karting underwater.

I've been karting a few times. Last outing was a few years ago at Victory Lane in Charlotte. But I go to have fun, and don't really care if I win or lose.

edit: Oh, I also got t-boned at 30-35 mph or so. Body hurt for the rest of the weekend.

I wish there was an indoor kart facility down the street from me, sadly I'd have to travel 50 miles out to the closest one.

Sucks I get ass kicked by little kids because they are way lighter than I am regardless how nice apex I took. On the straight line they fly by like they had twin turbo on their cart

Snow, and the god damn salt they put on the roads.

Hardrock4445 10-25-2012 11:13 PM

They are pretty fast too. Will hit 45 on the straights

I think some of us wouldn't mind taking the FRS/BRZ out in the snow. As for the salt - we only gt hit with salt once last year, hope it stays that way

Around here, they throw anyone who shows up (kids, adults, experienced people, newbies) into the same run groups. Between the disparity in body types, reaction times, and skill levels, it is pure mayhem. Hardly ever able to get a clean lap off without having to dodge spun out karts, having someone hit you in a braking zone, etc.

If there wasnt salt i would drive my car in the snow but my town salts way too much
