Surprisingly not many. One of em was sparking underneath, another's exhaust got really loud for no apparent reason.

Pole position sucks compared to fast lap in terms of bang for the buck
very true....

but the extra money spent at PP is displayed in the facilities and maintenance of the karts.

if I'm just looking for a cheap race... FastLap it is.
if I'm looking for a fun/quality race... Pole Position.

I've had too many retards try to stuff me into a wall at FastLap and the staff turns a blind eye. but i do love the course and powerband of the karts...

I can definitely understand that...Electric karts tend to mask bad driving better than gas karts, due to the instant power. However, not smelling like gas is a bonus in itself.

really my main problem with pole position is that i NEVER get a fun OR quality race. I pay a little more for HALF the laps... and then I can't duel with people, because they kill your power when you get close to somebody, and when someone's helmet rolls off they stop all the karts, NEVER giving back that lap that you wasted. Then someone spins out ... stop the karts again, another lap lost.
The one thing I thought PP had over fast lap was that the karts would be similar in the times they can generate, but they aren't. Just like FL they have faster ones and slower ones.

In the end it's a family place with A/C an arcade and torquey karts (which I like ).

I wish PP gave 20 laps not 12, that would make it better than fl for me

Best way to get quality races at either places is to go with a bigger group of people. Try to take enough friends that you almost fill up 1 run group and you don't have to worry about being stuck on track with some random crackheads.
