Go Karts
 
So I'd like to hear from everyone around the country/world. Who has some bad a$$ go kart tracks. DE has a decent one, I think it was you AK that can vouch. Anyone gone to GPNY (Grand Prix New York)? Planning a trip there soon looks awesome. Chime in fellas and ladies

Have you been there? Is it worth the 3 hour drive for me? I mean I also figured I'd head into NYC afterwards since it claims to be like 45 min outside of it.

I absolutely love GO Karting. During Winter, I go to Delawares Indoor Karting place - Mid Atlantic Grandprix. Cool place, twisty track, good grip on the karts. here are some pictures

That was so wintertime! Now I usually go to NJ Motorsports Parks Karting track. HUGE outdoor track, hi power karts that go 65 MPH and pull 1.5-2Gs during cornering, etc. You can have tons of fun and learn a lot about the track driving, cornering lines and aerodyanamics. Here are some vids . It takes about 30 seconds to do one lap in the "Wildcat" track. Please note this is the "arrive and drive" track. They have a special much longer track for "mini grand prix" sessions where 8 or more people in a group races.

I'm working on a helmet cam. Until that, sorry for the poor videos. :driving:

wow didn't know the park did that. that looks so awesome. what are the prices like to do that? might have to have another meet there lol

Mid Atlantic is fun, I'm so close to getting the time needed for the super karts, I'm hoping the heat in the summertime will give me the added couple tenths that I need.

the rain ruined the fun. have to re-schedule just went to midatlantic for some runs.

One run it was just my friend and I on the track and I never really tried drifting go karts but let me tell you it works and it works just like a car, I was def surprised so had some fun doing that for like 3 laps then went back to business.
