hello all:
i did some scut work and researched the venue for a possible future NYCMAAG event. What do you guys think of REAL Go-Karting? A handfull of us have been go karting in East Hanover, NJ with indoor electric karts which are capable of an entertaining 25 MPH, but not the real deal Go-Karts capaable of up to 100 MPH.
There is a Go-Kart track off Excit 70 LIE near East Hampton, NY; it's roughly 1.5 hours away from No. NJ, 1 Hour away from NYC. It is Co_owned by a collegue of mine and he is willing to give all AUDIWORLD/NYCMAAG members a discounted group rate if we hold an event out there. I have visited the facility and have done laps on two occassions in all of the different types of karts they have to offer, and its a REAL thrill. All karts are gas powerd and there a 3 claases of karts available; Concession karts - top speed 45 mph, Intermediate karts top speed 60 mph, and REAL Shifter karts top speed 100+ mph.
The management has offered us our choice of karts for an hourly rate and also is providing food for our event. This is the deal $75 per hour rental of Karts (they don't EXACTLY keep track of time, so the 1 hour is a conservative estimate, it usually goes over); we start off in the Concession karts and drive / compete on the track, after we have mastered the track AND then if we don't kill each other or the karts we willl go straight to the 100+mph shifter karts. If it is a weekend and we want track exclusivity, we must pay a $300 fee, if we go on a week day the $300 fee is forgiven. Food is an extra $5 for burgers, hot dogs sodas, ect.
So, let me know if you guys ar einterested, and I can work on getting a rough number of people, and we can start thinking about a date.

Will there be EMT's standing by??? ;-)

 

when the steering wheel hit the pavement. The danger is interlocking the wheels of two carts, which usually catapultes one of them into the air. Some have side skirts to prevent this or metal bars run from wheel to wheel.

 

Am sure....I was only half kidding in my post!
