have been to pole position (where the cars handle weird because you cant use the brakes to adjust your racing line) and fast lap (where you cant pick your car and the cars are DRASTIC in their difference in performance, I blew the engine on one that had been leaking oil and neglected for along time). take it from a die hard go cart dude, gene woods is the place. me and my friends go racing once a month and they are the best cars, track, management, price and fun factor. I allways call before hand to talk to the staff and see what cars are a little faster than others but they run very consistent. track is FAR more intricate and challenging than at other venues. Groupon is welcome there. don't piss off your experience by going anywhere else.
