Default Thinking about Sykart tomorrow...

I can't even remember the last time I went to Sykart. I'm thinking about tomorrow morning before it gets crowded (assuming it gets more crowded later in the day)

Anyone interested?

Have you ever been to Traxx Racing in Mulkiteo (I think?)?? It's my favorite go-karting place in the Seattle area. They have five karts with two engines that go 60+ mph They have to close off the "overpass" because you could launch the kart off of it. They also have a number of normal karts that are quick as well. Fun to powerslide and stuff.

I love Traxx.

I remember they had that huge hill type thing that felt like a rollercoaster when you went down it.

Yup that's the one.

Oh yea, I asked a couple friends (who are up on Korean pop culture) about that Korean song you were wondering about and they don't know what it is. I think it's something new though.

I liked both tracks too, Traxx workers let you run the car a little more loosely, since the track surface is more slippery yet more places for passing. You seems to have more fun rubbing each other. (no hard bumping, but minor rubbing is allowed).

While Sykart is more technical and no rubbing is allowed at all, then of course, if the owner or corner workers know you, you'll be alright. (Having said, one new guy almost kicked me out last time. He red flagged me, just grabbed my helmet and yelled at me with saying no bumping) Which when I'm sliding at the apex, I don't have much control in the tight corners...... Guy I hit was driving a wrong line and basically sitting sideway at the apex. OH well.

If we had freinds that are equally skilled and equivelent weight, then Sykart is definately better, but Traxx slippery surface and the course layout let you use the brain more than just "perfecting the line" at Sykart.

However, most of the time, we can just excused the result of the better kart in the field. (you know some got absolutely stronger motor, the other had better tires, not to mention some frame got bent, and when you sliding the kart will just hop like grass hopper.)

BTW, it shouldn't be too crowded on the weekdays. Let me know, I'd like to be there, either Sykart or Traxx. I believed that if we have 5 or more person, we can throw an Endurance at Traxx anytime in the weekdays. Last time, me and my buddy turned 110+ laps, that was fun.

Never tried Traxx. Sounds like fun. I live so close to Sykart compared to Traxx never had a reason to go. It'll probably be Sykart - likely ~ 11:00 today.
