Sounds cool. So if you guys open up before the end of Dec. and I get an annual membership....do i get 2 free races since by B-day is in Dec?

ohh and how long is a race? laps lenght, etc.?

Seems like it will be a great place for meets.

 

[autoXtC]

oh yeah im working on a meet as soon as i get the date they open, so you can expect us there the day they open, if we're all working, we'll be there late, or as soon as everyone gets outta work but yeah its been a meeting spot, it's just not open yet heheheh... we're definitely gonna have meets there for sure!

when's your bday stephen? damn all you december babies hehehe

 

[rjs_speed3]

omg everyone's having a bday... lol when is chris's? and yours stephen? karting sounds fun!!

 

[shalezoom3]

my b-day is Dec 17th. YAY! one week!

I checked out the website and it seems sweet. I haven't done carts since I lived in FL. There they had a 1 mile outside road course and a nascar style track.

yes you will get 2 free races :]


races are 12 laps which usually takes about 15 min or so. it can be shorter or longer depending upon how fast youre driving


you guys are going to love this place.


Edit: the track length is 1/4 mile!!!!!!

Hey, just a suggestion, im not trying to persuade you to buy more, BUT if you do plan on being there like.... alot..

if you look at the platinum membership, and you actually break down the costs, its really an awesome awesome deal. anthony is probably going to get it.

and just bc im bored, ill do it for you...


$240 12 - Races (10 races and then 2 during your bday month)
$80 2 hats and 2 t shirts @ $20
$20 arcade credits (we also have pool tables in our arcade, its a nice)
$340

so yeah.. youre already at $340... THEN on top of all that you get VIP same day reservations, which I promise will come in handy because there wil most likely ALWAYS be a wait. AND access to the icon lounge. Now, the icon lounge is seriously the coolest place in the building, other than the track. If you dont believe me, ask me to show it to you when you come in. :]

Besides how cool it is, inside you get the play the wii, drink UNLIMITED amounts of monster, PLUS you get six guest passes to the lounge. Now steve asked me if the 6 passes are one time use or all the time, idk the answer to that and i will find out.

and also, you get invited to the VIP events, which will usually have some type of shareholder and/or celebrity. for example kurt busch, jamie little, mike metzger, jeff gordon, etc.

lastly, if you race more than 12 times in the year, youll still save by recieving the membership price of $20, not non-member price of $25.

oh yeah, and not to mention, the platinum card members get a cooler looking card than just the annual members :X



so there ya have it. :]

i think its an awesome deal, but i know 399 is alot. either way, which ever works for you.



PS- theres so much stuff i haven't told you guys :X hehe

ahhhhhh its so exciting !!!

well first off, this will be a long post... i think... i drank a bit tonight lol

second off, everyone needs to go down there ASAP!!!!!!

it definatly gives me the same rush that my shifter gives me at an autocross. now don't get it confused it's not nearly as fast, and not nearly as responsive, but for the size of the track it is definatly pretty intense!!! i know where i'll be keeping up on my karting skills in the offseason!!!

you hit the gas, the kart goes... simple as that!!! no time waiting for the motor to hit the desired rpm's, it just goes... now this is good and bad because if you smash the gas mid corner your rear wheels will hop... which causes your back end to slide, which then ultamatelty ends in you going slow around the corner... this is not so much a problem with the karts (which are pretty top notch) but it's a problem with the driver learning how to drive the kart.

when you apply the brakes, you MUST do so while in a straight line and brake early... i had to continually pound this into my head while doing my laps... you break with the wheels turned, your front wheels will loose traction, you will slide forward, your rear wheels will then start to hop, and then you will mentally kick your ass for blowing the corner...

the track is VERY tight... i would assume it definatly was NOT designed with passing in mind, passing is possible but not nessisarilly easy.. you have to be doing the right thing at the right time while the other person blows a corner... not saying this is a bad thing, since passing on a real track is not an easy task, but it definatly is not an easy thing.. I did manage 4 passes from starting from the back of the pack during the 18 laps but i will say, i had to set the passes up right and one pass was helped with the blue/yellow stripe flag hehe

in summary the track and the karts are many times better than fast lap, which is sad because i love fast lap, but good because i love to race in an awesome enviroment!

the facillity is amazing.. what more can i say, it has a huge screen pointing towards the spectators which is updated in realtime during the race so everyone can see exactily what's going on as far as lap times and placing.

the monster lounge has a great view of the track and the pool tables are awesome! Great place for a meet!

hell the spectator area is amazing, very large, very open, not a bad seat!!

the Icon Lounge.... well all i really can say is i need my platinum membership.... it seems like it would be the ultimate place to even just hang out, the pool table doesn't cost money, you have your own LCD tv and it looks like a really chill atmosphere I WILL DEFINATLY be getting the platinum membership after the 1st of the year

yea that's about it i had a hellava time and will definatly go back... if you enjoyed fast lap... you'll LOVE P2R


oh and as an added bonus, the karts when at 100% speed sound somewhat similar to a F1 car from really far away hehehe


can't wait to go back
