Thanks for the quick repsonse! Have you tried it yet? I just wanted to race in someplace new with my friends (actually hosting a party) but it looks like a good track configuration and it sounds like they have nice karts. Elevation changes sound pretty fun too.

i've been to gokart racer, lemans, and speedring and by far the best track is speedring. lots of room to pass and plus the corner martials lets you get away with a few bumps. the kart at speed ring have a bit of wear and tear on them, if you are luck you will have a decent prepped kart *hint, kart 16 and 24*. go kart racer have a newer facilities and karts. what i dont like about go kart racer is that they do not wash the racing suit after somebody races on it. they wait until the end of the day until they wash it, yuck! the karts have sensors that will disable the throttle when you brake that means you can not do any trail braking. fewer passing passing lanes and the corner martials are notorious for giving out the "no bumping" sign even though you have not even hit the kart in front of you. lemans.... no comment, track is narrower than go kart racer, nuff said.
