DONT BE STUPID AND DRINK AND DRIVE THESE KARTS. THOSE ARENT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD KARTS.

IF YOU WANNA DRINK AND DRIVE KARTS GOTO FRANKIES.

RUSH HOUR WILL KICK YOUR BUTT OUTA THERE

3/10/2008 10:30:59 PM

You WILL wear a helmet

You WILL wear a neck brace

3/10/2008 10:33:31 PM

no crap. but these arent karts that you want to be stupid with.

its a real laid back place. they dont need idiots going in there and screwing everything up.

if you wanna be stupid, goto frankies.

helmet and neck brace isnt gonna help when you get side swipped into the wall and tip over on your arm

3/10/2008 10:38:47 PM

^ MOTION CARRIED


i've been a bunch... most of you idiots could hurt yourselves sober on those carts... don't do it drunk

3/10/2008 10:44:21 PM

I've been there. It's fucking awesome. If you're a member, they keep track of all sorts of Stats.

3/10/2008 10:48:35 PM

at $20 a pop i would definatly only ride once

drinks would follow. Im not silly enough to drink my face off and drive a go kdart

3/10/2008 10:52:29 PM

yeah, membership is worth it.

its $20 for like 1 race.

or around $40 for a membership and you get your free race, plus a free race on your birthday (so if you get it near your birthday, its already payed off)

then you get cheaper rates on other races.

Yes and after a race you'll be somewhat worn out. I can't imagine racing 10 laps or more in those carts.

3/10/2008 10:55:13 PM

they have some karts up on the VA border (at VIR).

they are outdoor cars.

you think rush hour is rough. race those outdoor in cold weather for 35 minutes strait.

talk about thinking your hands have fallen off. and feet. even with gloves and shoes and suit.

brrrrrrr

3/10/2008 11:01:33 PM

I live close to VIR now. link me to those tracks.

3/10/2008 11:06:21 PM

its cool but expensive and doesnt last long

3/11/2008 12:01:16 AM

sounds like my hookers

3/11/2008 12:01:55 AM

Get better hookers.

3/11/2008 12:12:41 AM

you rang?

3/11/2008 12:55:40 AM

you guys think the 20 bucks is really worth it if I wanted to try it out?

3/11/2008 1:30:22 AM

i went a couple times when i was in raleigh

its expensive

but its cool when you can get a buncha friends out on the track at the same time

3/11/2008 6:21:33 AM

20 bucks for a go cart race?

jesus

fuck that.

get a bunch of friends to split the gas, go 50 miles north and race pretty much $1 per lap.

price may have gone up to $40 for 30 mins. not sure.

i know you people are saying "f-that" to 8 minutes of karting, but this isnt adventure landing or frankies. these karts are pretty awesome compared to those, yea $20 is a lot but its worth at least one trip there.

its one of those things that you do like once every few months.

3/11/2008 9:03:16 AM

Do they get mad if you turn around and start going backwards and ramming people?

Because thats inevitably what I end up doing at any go kart place, and I want to know if I have to wear my running shoes in case they take objection to it

3/11/2008 9:03:31 AM

lol.

at this place yes. you wont make it out because its indoor and theyll trap you.

anywhere else is ok.

3/11/2008 9:08:42 AM

lemme get this straight

we've got [open to the public] go-kart racing + beer?

but not any [open to the public] swimming pool + beer?

what gives?

I would much rather swim up to a bar for a cold one

than go on loud and brief go-kart races, even after a couple brews

amirite?

yeah, a poolside bar would be awesome.

3/11/2008 9:18:09 AM

They should make the shit like Mario Kart

and give you cans of Valvoline to thwart the opposition

Wait until you you see them out in the brickyard with a booth set-up and a kart being displayed. They usually have coupons there that give you the $20 race for free! That's what we did a few years ago. I had some video of the place but I think that's on my old infected-and-thrown away hard drive.

3/11/2008 9:34:10 AM

^^Hahaha hell yeah, you could throw banana peels and stuff at people too.
