Seriously, wtf?
Went go karting on the weekend at theraceway.com, the karts are good, the circuit is good, but you don't have a proper race, basically it's 40 mins of laps trying to do the fastest one.
You don't race against your mates, that's so stupid.

Sounds shit

they said they don't do that here, because they don't want people to get hurt and damage the karts. it was unbelievable!

Perhaps you need to find a better go kart track because that one sounds shite.

if things get unexciting there's always the chance of driving in the wrong direction. that will surely spice things up.

At a gokart track here a few years ago a girl got her long hair caught in the rear axle of the kart she was driving and got scalped.

I remember doing this in Prague once; Health and Safety was so lax we were hammered, driving around with beers (cans) and even getting out the go-carts, jumping the barriers and dragging others out of there carts as they went round.

We have this place about half and hour away:
Massive rickety wooden track spirals right up into the air, and drops down. Awesome fun. Lungfuls of 2-stroke exhaust, carts set up so that you can just about lose it on some parts of the track.- that could be a shit-ton of fun, with better karts and no rules :)fugged
- Totally. It's an awesome track to ride, brilliantly noisy. You just about don't mind the sub-par vehicles.mikotondria3

I really messed up one of my ribs karting in Amsterdam three years ago, it was pretty much a free-for-all. Couldn't breathe properly for a week. Good times.

Slightly off topic but in South Africa, I worked for a big pizza delivery chain, and once or twice a year the boss would give us free booze and let us loose on a go-kart track XD
It was fucking MAYHEM- 18-22 year old guys pissed of their heads, and let's not forget these are guys who drive for a living so lead feet all the way. I overtook 8 dudes but then got flagged for aggressive driving.

I went to Arundel Castle this weekend. Its okay, but most of it was built in the 90's and the bloke dressed as a knight was just a fat local with a plastic sword. It cost £50 to get the whole family in too.
WTF?
Its like there's a leisure industry conspiracy afoot.

sounds like a track day, could be fun depending how impressive the carts were. but yeah, would be way more fun doing offensive/defensive cornering moves on your mates
