WHO: Anyone who is 56 inches and TALLER
WHAT: INDOOR Kart racing. 45 mph karts with an 80 MPH option
WHERE: 1594 Bently Dr. Corona---- Closest freeways are the i-15 and the 91
WHY: Because we need some track time and the IE croud wanted to have an event
WHEN: the 3rd of December
TIME: 11am show up and register 12pm race time.
Est. Cost: $100 that will get you 4 races and a few bux left over for vid games and snacks.

Ok here is your chance to do some indoor driving in karts. I personally have met the owner of the facility and have taken a few rides in these insane carts. They go 45 mph however they can go to 80 mph for those that qualify. They handle great and have 3 point seat belts. Even a big guy like me had a ton of fun. You are required to use a helmet. They provide them along with a head sock to keep your sweat from permiating their helmets.

There is a large parking lot we can take over. If enough people want to show up I will ask the owner to rope off part of the parking lot for us. I can probably reserve the VIP room for people to chill out in. I just need a head count ahead of time to ask for this.

I can set up a system whereby the fastest people get to race in a final event. I would need to know in advance who wants to race for time so that i could set up a final. We could have everyone drive in 2 races and take thier fastest lap time to qualify them into the final. Each race has 12 racers. Each race has 14 laps. We could arrange the final to have a standing start and line people up according to lap times. maybe the slowest of the fastest starts in the rear. This is up for suggestion.

There is a Farmer Brothers for lunch just down the street and they offer snacks at the facility. We need to get an idea of how many people want to race and how many want to just ride for fun. You can bring the kids if they are 56" or taller. Otherwise they will have to wait for a SPECIAL kids race.

We will show up at 11am to sign up and register your info on thier database. Everyone is required to do this so that they can track your lap times. It only takes a few minutes. If we are doing real racing we could then do signups for that in the VIP room. Racing would start at 12pm. However if you want to get a few sessions in b4 we officially qualify that can be done between 11am and 12pm.

Here is the website. It has some insane 360 degree views of the place. It also shows good pix of the carts.

im down.. only if i can drive the 80mph 1
what are the qualifications?

 

i would call them and find out.

i would gather 1st off you must have skill enought to race at 80mph. just because you have a dl license doesnt mean one has skill. i cant say that i could drive 80mph with my butt 1 inch off the ground with my knees out to the side.

well, i have driven a go kart that hit 70 on the straight 3 times for about 1/2 hour each time
the biggest rush ever, like sitting on a motorized scateboard on rails
i also used to go to dromo1 a lot and adams cart track in riverside, their carts hit 27-30 indoor (d1) and about 37-43 outdoor at akt

i'll give them a call, thanks

 

what did you find out?

 

Me me me! If i'm not working, that is. I get my december schedule in a few weeks, but I'm down. =) Can you please add my name to the list Eric?

We have to bring our own helmets and stuff? How much is it to rent the stuff there? I don't think I'd want to wear someone's stinky helmet all day. Where can we buy one?

Oh yeah, I've never driven a go-kart in my life. How different is it from a car? Please say they're stick.. I miss driving stick sometimes.

My brother said Adams Cart iTrack has gas go-karts and that it is a lot of fun. -Lisa

 

i am adding you to the list. you wanted an ie event so i set this one up for you especially. see if any of your friends want to join us. just post thier names and i will add them also.

they have FREE helmuts and they come with sweat protectors. They dont stink and you can bring your own. i am bringing my moto-x helmut and googles. mine is lightweight and i like the googles cause it keeps my cheeks cool.

I'll let you know in a week or two, I might me interested along with a friend.

 

keep me up to date.

 

nothing yet.
ive been kinda busy, one of my tires bubbled, my diff is leaking and my warranty is running out. had to call a lot of different places
plus ive got midterms

 

Damn Vadim, just go!!! even if they only go 40mph it will be a blast!!!

 

what he said.

OH and spread the word in your chassis forum. its a lot easier for you all to post it then me. i will get busted for cross posting.

 

for 150$ we can go to adams cart track 4 hour school , they say u get lots of track time, and u get 100cc kart that suposedly go 70mph, no qualifications needed
and the karts run on gas
and their track is outside and very nice, it has a nice banked curve and a 700ft straight, it actually has two long straights
im thinking of doing this some time soon
it only on weekends and it starts at 8 or 9 dont remember

check out their websitewww.adamskarttrack.com

 

Oh Dang, Adam's Kart seems awesome. When I think about it, 150 is a steal. I'll have to check it out sometime with my buddies.

 

the biggest challenge i see for this is it is outside. it has rained for a week straight in october already. i chose the indoor one based on that rain and the fact we got a crud load of rain last year.

we should go to this one in the spring when we are a little more sure it wont rain.

i also cant seem to find the link where it says its $150 for 4 hours and it includes instruction.

 

i called and thats what they told me, its a 4 hour school
its also possible to rent the track out for group events and get the 100cc karts

as for rain, morongo (casino) isnt that far away , just in case it does rain

 

how about we do this in the spring. the threat of rain is to great. the thought of going to morongo instead of karting just doesnt satisfy me.

 

im gonna do it before then
but we can do it again later
any1 wants to join me? either this month or next, on a weekend

 

AMG 55, I might be down for that outdoor kart event. I'll let you know.

 

sounds good, any1 else?

 

Yeah, I heard adam's kart is gas and the other place is electric.

I don't know a lot about go-karts, but if they're anything like cars, shouldn't the gas powered ones go a bit faster than the electric ones?

-Lisa

 

about that....NO.

electric cars accelerate faster. the speed is based on the motor and the gearing. the electric place has 80mph karts but not just anyone can drive the. the gas ones do 70 mph. or at least that is what i think he said.

so setup up a date to do the outdoor action. i have the electric one set for dec. there is no law that says we cant do both.
