Willow Springs, Buttonwillow, and Fontana within 2 hours of where you live, don't waste that opportunity.

I'd look into what else you need to keep from breaking axles if you plan to beat on it at such a low ride height with the supercharged power output.

You'll also want to consider how much camber is safe before the angle of the CV joint becomes too extreme and prone to failure.

There's a reason most of the slammed hellaflush cars are driven slowly and gently.

Adam's Kart too. I'm in Irvine and it's nice having a bunch of tracks within a relatively close distance.

Huh, TIL, might have to check that out next time I'm down, how many laps does a 'session' get you?

Basically looks like a permanent autox course without a slalom

It's kind of weird. Each session lasts an hour. They send out like 5 cars at a time with like 10 second gaps in between and they all do 3 laps. Then they send the next 5. Depending on how many cars there are, you'll get to go out probably 4 or 5 times each session. So roughly 15 laps per session.

But it's only $20 a session. So for a full night with all 3 sessions, you'll spend $60 but get in like ~45 laps.

Sounds like also in fashion to give enough time for brakes to cool off, good for completely stock cars with stock pads/fluid.

And keep people from too zoned out or in over their heads.

I'd avoid it. Real small and no runoff so mistakes have real consequences.
