I'm going to race indoor go karts today at speeds of 35-40 mph. :] I'm very excited! Let's hope I don't fuck up.

It's in Cincinnati Ohio. Never been. Each race is 20-25 laps. I figure I'll do three or four. I'm stoked. From what I can see the line is very fast.

electric? i was skeptical at first, but they ended up being tons of fun, kinda takes momentum out of the game.

i've got track 21 & a k1 speed licenses. but alamo karts here near san antonio is my favorite.

They're gas. 125cc four stroke. I don't think I need any sort of class licenses, just age requirements. I do have to bring my motocross helmet and goggles as a safety thing though.

What the...that's just down the road from me.

Tell me how that goes. I'm considering conning my brother into doing this sometime during his spring break.

edit - Provided you're talking about Full Throttle.

If you see the blue flag you're doing something wrong. 20-25 laps is awesome! The only indoor place near me you're doing maybe 20 and they are electric :(

Nice! I just went in Jersey City on Tuesday. They are really prone to understeer.

I am talking about full throttle. I'll be sure to let you know, from what I hear it's a fantastic experience. They host leaderboards too.

oh yea, good point, rule goes for anything this fun and up...always bring your own helmet.

I've also been told that they have leagues for a reasonable price.

I'm very competitive. Let's hope I don't do something wrong. These are 125cc four stroke motors.

Let's hope I don't go against the laws of physics and end up upside down. Haha.

Oh wow, they should be pretty quick. In your first race just try and build up your line. Look for overtaking spots. Test corners you're unsure in. Most importantly have fun (read: win)!

I know there are memberships you can purchase. Not sure about leagues.

I've been watching videos to get an idea. It seems pretty straight forward. As goes with anything though, easier said than done.

Watch out for the puny people!

You mean speedbumps?

It's all fun and games until a twelve year old passes you.

That would be the lost degrading thing ever. I'd probably just quit.

It's not that they are better...well their power/weight ratio is.

Yeah. I'm not small at 6'1" and 225 pounds. I think the minimum age is something like 15 though. Either way. Same thing applies.
