Umigo has pretty good ventilation, so good sometime its freezing in there at night.

I just wanted to get a feel on interest, so I actually haven't decided on when yet. Since a couple of you guys are heading to Vegas, maybe we'll aim for end of the month/early July?

I won't go to K1 period. I've never been to Umigo and would like to try it!

Bach415 · 06-03-2013, 07:55 PM

I'm interested! GoKartRacer! Never tried the super track there. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays, they have the triple shot deal which is 3 time trial events? for like $45. 3 single events alone is about $75 I believe.

I'm in for Umigo

Get enough ppl and maybe we can get a tailgate party going. Owner sponsored an event not too long ago.

BlaineWasHere · 06-03-2013, 08:15 PM

I say let's just do Umigo this time. We already did Le Mans and we can do KGR next time.

LOL, Well to be fair I was very familiar with the Le Mans track and I will have never seen the Umigo track no matter the layout because I've never been there!

Actually, Umigo changes their lay out so often that its hard to get an "edge" from being there before. Plus, their track is so slippy, I swear I was sideways the entire time in one of their long sweeper turns.

Well, that's gonna give me a pretty decent advantage. A gripper surface would even the playing field more. Just becuase of my experaince I have more tools in my toolbag for manipulating the karts in a non-traditional manner and all of that is exacerbated on a slick surface.

I really wanna try this place though! I prefer a slick surface because it is so much harder to run consistently fast lap times. Can we just go this week? lol

Ok that's fair. No preview then. No rubbing the surface. No googling their layouts. No sneaking in sessions before us (ok, you can text me, I'll live 20min away haha lol).

I can't do this weekend. I'm autoXing in Oakland Saturday and got plans in the evening.

Umigo seems interesting after looking @ it's videos.

cplabaunza · 06-03-2013, 10:12 PM

I might be down depending on date/time...

There is also a K1 in South San Francisco off of 101 about 4miles north from GoKart Racer in Burlingame...
