I spent a weekend racing karts last year and I had the **** scared outta me by a 250cc kart. I can't imagine how completely out of control an 1100cc kart would be to drive. Those things are a lot trickier to drive than they look. Especially hard to get used to is the whole "right foot gas" "left foot brake" set up. They are an absolute blast to drive though. It was one of the most fun experiences I've had (Driving anyway).

Was that indoor or outdoor?

I love outdoor racing... but there aren't many here in Utah.

It was outdoors on an awesome track. The only bad part about it, was the fact that it's basically in the desert, it was summer time, and you're wearing a racing suit... damn it was hot. Lost about ten pounds that weekend though

mmmmm, drift kart..... the ultimate. That would be a blast to drive.

I like the karting scene too. I did this 2-story indoor track in indianapolis, FastTimes Indoor Karting . For the size of the track and the karts they use. It was the best yet, ie: real gumball tires with high speeds and high G-loads. I've done Dromo1 and Adamskarttrack here in Socal. Dromo1 is just a glorified slick track, tho still fun. The rentals at Adams are slow for the size of the track. I've been saying for years that I'm gonna go to that Jim Hall track in Oxnard and pay for the driving school, but I have yet to make it.
