Wow what a great idea, I've never been actaul karting before. Well we might have our meet in September after all! TJF will he hook us up on a deal if we can get a group to go, if not no biggie just give us some more details.

 

I imagine he would if I asked, I just hate to ask for the buddy discount when the guy really doesnt make that much off rentals in the first place. You have to realize that when someone drives his shifter karts they are wearing out his tires (which are good for about 3 races and are $160 per set) his engines (which must be rebuilt every 10 hours at $100 per rebuild and are good for about 25 rebuilds before they need an overhaul at closer to $500). He also provides helmets, drivingsuits, gloves, etc... So $100 for an hour of seat time is really fair.

He does group rates, but that includes him cooking a meal and some other stuff. Rather than me start lining it up with him. Why dont we take a head count of how many people are interested. If it is over 10-15, then the group rate will make sense. If not, we should probably just go hourly.

 

there is a place in dallas called speedzone that has a ton or karts and has a drag strip with drag cars on it and they told me that they gor from 0 to 60 in 2 secs

its really fun

 

I heard speed zone was having a real problem with car thefts in the parking lot. As far as karting is concerned that's understandable about the rates I just didn't know if I he even offered them. I for one would go in a heart beat.

 

head count and we need to plan a day.. i am down
