Default I agree BUT...

for an indoor place with no A/C or any ventillation for that matter, electric lets you breathe regreased guido air instead of exhuast fumes.... then again im not sure whats worse.

Default we gotta do a gtg there

I spoke to a friend that works there with a group buy(which u need to reserve) you get 3 8 min sessions, one qualifier, second heat, then a final race. No waiting, just when you're scheduled you're ready to go.

Default The dopes there just need to figure out how to run the place..>

It took almost an hour to get out there last time I went.
They were really slow at getting one group out after the other came in.

I like the track though, has some fun turns, but they need to give you a few more laps IMO.

Default These carts are @12hp according to a manager there. Electric motors have good torque too.

I've driven 11hp gas carts and they were similar in speed.

I don't believe it is required. You just get a card you can put a balance on, and a balaclava.

Default I'm there every Saturday @ noon

It is a tad pricey, but since it's the only option in the NJ area, it's worth it. I like to get there when they open so I can get a few races in by myself (also really cuts down on the wait time). Tips I can provide are to late brake into the corners, but definitely try to keep as much momentum as possible through the turns. I late apex most of the turns as well. There are few places to pass, so for sure ask the guy at the desk, on the track, if he can put you at the front. If your doing lap times in the 44 second range your doing well.

My racer name is: Azul the Cat
I have a black &amp; blue helmet with checked flag stripes on it. If you see me say hi.
