Go-kart racing at Allsports GP? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

shirker · 11-15-2013, 07:34 PM

Any other go-karting enthusiasts in the area? Been going to Allsports GP out in Dulles on odd weekends here and there when my buddy is free, but I wouldn't mind having more reason to go with competent drivers (going alone isn't an option, most people are terrible

)

I've heard of this place "Summit Point Kart" but I don't know what all the hubbubs about.

Maybe have a meet-up before the snow hits? The world's the oyster, my friend.

The Mach V shop is just around the corner, so I go to Allsports now and then. I don't think I stink too bad...

Allsports is a lot of fun did a 6 hour endurance race there with the mini car club. Summit point is much more fun but is limited by weather factors. Either way they both are a good time.

I'm in. A karting meet would be a lot of fun before winter hits. I'm pretty sure everyone on here knows what they're doing behind the wheel. BTW USGP practice is on...

I don't think Allsports will be impacted much by winter rolling around. Only thing I see happening is the track getting colder and the superkart qualifying times getting a bit slower

I checked out the website. Looks like members only for the 9hp superkarts

plus qualifying. Any karting would still be fun though.

I do them all. Depends on time and date, but I'd probably be down... I do the karting place in Jessup about 2-3 times a month now, but I prefer SPK and Allsports. They're just too far and traffic is too miserable during the week.

How's the one in Jessup?

Biggins · 11-18-2013, 10:08 AM

More than anything, it's convenient. I just think it's too pricey, too little track time for the price, and too tight to pass. With that said, they're still getting a lot of my money. The torque of the electric karts is very difficult to get used to if you've only done gas karts.

I would try to do Allsports on a weekend though. No way I'm trying to get there from Baltimore area on a weeknight during Christmas season.

Jrohit · 11-18-2013, 10:44 AM

I would do Allsports on a weekend too, preferably Sunday.

I find the "normal" karts perfectly fun if everyone is in them. Plus my forearms are a lot less sore afterwards.
