All, I did shifter karts at Bondurant for the first time tonight - you need to try this if you haven't already...

Wondering if you guys would be up for a shifter kart event ??? we can book the whole kart track for ~8 of us

probably a couple hundred each - we'd have to negotiate it... location is at Firebird Raceway... southeast phoenix, just off I-10 going east past intersection with 202/Pecos by a mile or two... 40 mins from Scottsdale... 20 mins from airport... 5-10 mins from Chandler

if there's enough interest, I will call and negotiate a group deal

these carts go zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds and 0-100 in 6.0 secs... they are not cheap to maintain, hence the price... courses are flexible, but prob about three hours total and 1-1.5 hrs of that on track

cart overview: Bondurant.com :: Kart School :: Kart Specs

here are the prices, but I'm certain we can negotiate these for a group Bondurant.com :: Kart School :: Courses and Rates

if there's enough interest, i'll set something up... maybe Thursday this week ? or the following Thursday ?

Those prices pretty much match the price of shifter kart rental here in Tucson. I will probably stop tracking the Z and start renting shifter karts every so often instead.

There's a place on the East Side of Phx called F1 Motorsports, or something like that, I can't remember cause I havent been to the east side in a while, but I hear it's pretty fun, and the carts aren't the fastest in the world, but it's a little easier on the wallet. Maybe we could do that first as a prep lol.

Is firebird a drag strip also, or just a track?

I'd like to go put some baselines down when I get the Z.

go carts give you the same adrenal rush and are more of a workout, but it's more satisfying to me to track the Z... do both !

yes, they have a drag strip... then an east, west and main track... then a bondurant GT track and a bondurant cart track... also a boat / water drag strip... pretty big complex
