CRed05 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Too bad it's on Alum Creek Drive. Wish that was there back when I was still going to DeVry though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Something tells me I wont be winning many of these races, if I can fit at all... Yes, it's all due to your size, not your skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwohio Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Can someone confirm that this will be worth a shit before I plunk down $50? According to my friend, Aaron is the chief instructor for NASA.....not sure if that adds any credibility or not, but trying to give as much info as possible. I'll see what else I can find out.

BrendanB Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Been debating going to the karting place in Cincinnati for ages, glad there's going to be one closer to home now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwohio Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Been debating going to the karting place in Cincinnati for ages, glad there's going to be one closer to home now! Have been to the Cincy one many times, definitely worth the trip. I know the owners and the Sales and Marketing director there. The owners/employees are all racers outside of work too, I would make the trip if I were you. It has definitely set the bar high for my expectations on this place here in Columbus.

Sledhead36 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Just as a side note, there is going to be an indoor cart track at SPARC which will be at the old Cooper Stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoMeSomeFun Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 So is anyone just able to go in at random and race a couple times? Or is it a schedule system and have to have a membership to hop on a cart and go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwohio Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Here's what I got from my friend: Aaron was telling me about it last year. From that conversation, it's going to be like Full Throttle in terms of permanent track layout, competitive format, and karts. He said he was aiming for a course with similar speeds but lap times near 1min instead of 30sec. I'm willing to bet that pricing will be similar to Full Throttle as well.
