Yep, they had a paintball field, too. I never did the paintball, just the karts. Got certified on the unrestricted ones, spent many a Fridays down there after eating at the Hooters up the road. e- also, Kurt Busch owns, he's racing this on Friday night at Daytona.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlSNZUn6ntg

Had my first try at these on the weekend - twin-engine hire karts (video not mine) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjmE8TWHnMA&t=218s Had 3 races, came 1st in our group and 1st out of 40 karts in the last race

Pretty Cool Name posted:Honestly, if you're the kind of person that brings 'racing' gloves to ride karts made for moms and kids, you deserve a bad time. It was Jan 1st and it was almost freezing, and they're just standard issue kart gloves, not like they're fire proof or poo poo like that. I still do wear the wear them today, but it's for long enduro stints. They're not strictly necessary but they cut down on blisters. Also, I think you missed the point. Previous post was all "I went karting and lol". My point was keep at it, eventually you'll out grow it. Once you out grow it, go find faster people to race with. It's addictive. VVV That sounds like so much fun it's probably illegal VVV Aurune fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Jul 4, 2013 |

I think someone needs to combine the two activities that have been mentioned and mount a paintball gun on each kart. I haven't decided if I think it'd be more fun with 2-person karts (gunner+pilot) or "flying" solo.

I've actually never watched Top Gear Australia, but they make a really good point in this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Prks8Sdq9Q&t=455s Over 3 seconds faster on 20" vs. 22" wheels, that's pretty huge.

Probably different tyres. I don't think there are many really high performance tyres available in 22".

This is why I love Jay Leno. The speed holes in the handbrake and gear shift are a nice touch. Twin cam, four valve...and dozens of spark plugs. Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jul 8, 2013 |

Guessing he survived.

`Nemesis posted:Best I can find online says he had head and pelvis injuries, and was flown unconscious to a hospital in "critical but stable condition". I would be be pleasantly surprised if he did. When they show the accident again and again in slow motion you really seethe impact and wonder how anyone could possibly survive that sort of hit.

Ziploc posted:So I took my family to the local(ish) karting track. I used to spend too much time at this place. Then it got mismanaged into the ground - it's a shadow of its former self. This is how big the company used to be, they now only have 2 locations left.  When I have the time/money, I really want to go out to DKC with a couple of friends, even though it's about an hour away.

This is how big the company used to be, they now only have 2 locations left. I went to the San Diego location a ton when I was a kid. The outdoor track was huge. I also remember taking a left turn at high speed and watching my front left wheel roll away into the grass infield. So theres that.

The best go-karts were at Action Park. The attendants would actually give you a tennis ball to cram into the governor if you slipped them  Also, there was a microbrew located there and they didn't check ID's. Action Park as a whole was an amazing place. e- Here's a cool podcast about it. Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Jul 9, 2013 |
