I am officially more excited about the post-track day karting than the track day.  LET'S DO THIS!

 

the kart track is SICK. The karts run it the opposite direction than we did with OMRL this past weekend (maybe the rentals can't get up the hills?), but the layout is pretty sweet.

 

As for the new bathrooms by the kart track, they were not open Sunday.  I forgot to ride through the North Track paddock to take a look at the construction, but was told that they already have the trees cleared for teh South Track construction!  Their facebook page also mentioned doing drainage analysis for the South Track, so it looks like it mmight actually happen.

The rental karts are pretty quick. Way faster than any "amusement park" type of go carts I've been on. Shouldn't have any problem with the hills.

 

Good news about the track. I knew it was just a rumor but seeing how much money thenew owners have put into the rest of the place I thought it was a safe bet they might actually complete the extension. Next they need to buy Bluegrass...

If you get enough people for the Karts they do a small program for you. Everyone gets a 10 minute practice, then a 10 minute qualifying session. Then they put 2 riders on each team and then you have a half hour "enduro" race with one kart per team. Each driver needs to drive two times during the race.

Oh man , that sounds way too organized for the all out chaos we will reign down on any poor souls who happen to be at that track.

Although picking up lap times/qualifying sounds pretty cool.

We did this with my work group, it was a lot of fun. Not as complicated as it sounds. The only downfall is that some of the karts were obviously faster than the others, but I hear they got new rental karts since we did it and they are a lot more evenly matched.

Track or race day, anytime 9-5, but I'd say arrive at least an hour before lunch at noon; watch some sessions, grab some grub and relax with some friendly ppl; then watch some more sessions after lunch.....then go home, get on your computer, and schedule your first track day.
