The testing deal is free, not sure when tickets go sale for the race itself.

We did the small track deal after our event Saturday. Haven't done the full track deal, though.

How do they set up the tack?

They must shorten it up a good bit?

I've done the "Kart-a-Palooza" which is only held a few times a year. you get 3 races on 3 different tracks that they set up, for 9 races total. It's a 1 day tournemant

They have 1 track which is always set up there, it's called the rental track I believe. That's the track that is always available to race on

The full kart track is for people that supply their own shifter karts I think

I'll probably be there to check out the testing and let my kid hit the rental track. The rental karts are awesome - anyone who hasn't done it should check it out. These are not your regular go karts. They aren't hyperfast like shifters, but they'll smoke most karts. They'll run probably a good 45-50 mph.

I had fun doing it. I think they have leagues you can join too. Was just me and a friend and strangers, so I'd like to go back with a full race of friends. They track your track times and speeds too which is cool.

You have to be 60" for the fast karts. There are slower karts for 52"-60".
For those who like to race with their friends, most nights there aren't many people there. Or if there are some people, they do a session or two then leave. You can get mostly your own group on the track pretty easily. And weekdays are a little cheaper.
