On the couter point, I liked the new carts. Maybe I just got a good one but the course is good too. I passed cody, then he put me in the wall but then i passed him again. I like battle action in the course of a race, DTM bitches. I won my heat because i'm the best driver ever.

haha...i did enjoy it when i had a good cart, but the one i had when i raced you sucked. i think i finished a full 4 secs faster when i had the better kart, that shows their inconsistency.

Time to revive old threads. I made my FOERST ever visit to the place yesterday. I just turned 15 yesterday so don't have a license to run the faster carts on the road course, so I was limitted to Track 2, the kids track, the oval... in the slower carts. I'm Bunta Fujiwara in the scoring. I had the #6 time on the oval yesterday. I don't remember if it was for the month or for the year, lol.
It's $12 for the kids oval and I think $14 for the road course. $7 for the Racing License (only need to get this if it's your FOERST time. Then you re-use it for future visits)
Kids oval racing suits & helmets are required. Road course only helmets are required.
I watched the race before mine and looked for where majority of the passes were being made. Outside line. So when my turn came I started my FOERST lap out in the middle line until I was comfortable going outside. Did that for a few laps with some success then switched down into the inside line. That is where I went from 2 passes a lap on the outside to probably 4 a lap on the inside. I found my line, or a line no one else was any good at. Yeah, I hit a few people a few times, but not intentionally, I just came into the corner a lot closer than they did and I ended up sandwiching myself, which didn't affect me all the much (all but 1 time where someone behind me knocked me sideways). Kind of hard to rest your left foot somewhere without accidently resting it on the brake (went 1/2 a lap doing this without knowing it) or on the steering arms. My second run that day was only me, so I used it like a time trials run trying to improve my times. I stayed 6th fastest. All in all I had a blast and would love to go again. The karts I used to run when I live in Pennsylvania were half the power and half the fun, though I liked the old track, simple yet effective hour glass shape.

Yeah everything Andy said was pretty much true, with that many people on the track you have to give them a 'polite' nudge to pass them. But all and all its fun, but a bit pricey.
