Go-Karts!!
Last night Brandy & I went to check out the local go-kart track. This is not the restricted or governed karts at an amusement park, this is a racetrack for karts. Last night we only watched, but plan to give it a try at some point. The venues web site is Sugar River Raceway.
We went to watch what they call Turn-Key Thursday Night. You pay $75 per person and you get to race their karts & wear their safety gear. This gets you 10 laps of practice & 3 separate races of 10 laps each. This takes around an hour & a half. So a little bit of cash to do it, but it’s got to be a blast. The karts have 9hp and get up to about 45 mph on this track… but it sounds & looks like the corners are where the real fun is. Inside of the Race Shop, they had used & new karts for sale. On the weekends, they have races where people who own their own karts bring them & they battle it out. What we saw last night was just the rookies who have no or little experience & were just renting to try it out. I hear that a few times a year they have bike races on the kart track, supermoto style.
