| - This is a good operation and the karts are honest-to-God racing karts that are all fast and all in really good condition. The staff on track knows what they're doing and are helpful and friendly. The track-time-per-dollar ratio is a little on the slim side, but I know space and karts aren't cheap, and it's a heck of a lot of fun without breaking the bank.
They also have leagues, which are an inexpensive way to fix your track jones and have some competitive fun doing it. They even have a Junior league for kids as young as 8, who run the only slightly slower Junior karts. The instructors here are top notch, competitive racers from around the region.
My only gripe about the junior kart program is that the instructors don't communicate it through the lens of an 8-12 year old kid. Kids that age can't be expected to come into the program knowing what an apex is, much less what a late one is or what it means to "hit" one, or what it means to "lift", or what a "heat" is, or what "track out" means, or any number of other terms that experienced track drivers inherently understand, but fresh-faced kids probably don't. My advice to them is to think like an 8 year old and explain these things in language and terms an 8 year old can understand.
It would also be nice if they spent a couple bucks on a printer that didn't break down every 2 minutes, so you could get your times there on the spot.
But, these gripes are minor in the grand scheme of things. Grab some buddies, make a reservation, and have a blast.
