Has Anyone ever gone to K1?

I went today and it was fun as hell!

I think next month We should have a meet at K1 and then everyone goes inside and show what your made of. They record your lap times and print them out for you to compare with everyone else.

I didnt think it would be as fun as it was, but it was really a blast. Those Karts really get moving. Their website says they are 20hp electric motors. and they can reach up to 45mph. I was really surprised at how quickly they accelerated. I even had some drift action going on.


What do you guys think? Rx7Club Grand Prix In January?

Electric karts aren't as fun as gas-powered ones. K1 and Pole position both kinda suck. I'd much rather go to Speedzone (gas) than those two places. Adams has the best track (gas), but the shittiest karts. They would easily be the best place if the karts weren't so damn'd inconsistent. I heard Apex is pretty good. Their karts are 100cc, so it'll be a handful for most beginners.

We should all just go to Speedzone and get a 4 hour, unlimited run pass for like $20 and go wild on all 3 tracks (yes, they have 3).

YES! They look way slower than they are. Even afterwards i was standing by the Fence and watching them, i pointed out to my buddy that they look slow. But damn they're quick!



Lets set a date give everyone time to save up;



What does everyone think of Jan 18th. Sunday.

Its $50 for three 14 lap races. Basically it comes out to a lil over $1 a lap.

Attentive list so far:

I won't go to K1, I don't really care for electric karts. Let's go to Speedzone, $20 for FOUR hours is hard to beat.

Trust me andrew, these electric carts are fast! Especially on such small tight courses. I was drifting and spinning out A LOT.

We'll all get record time slip and we can compare and contrast. I'll gather them and make a spread sheet and post them here.
