Are there any Go-Kart racers in the Lockergnome Community?

Do you like to drive fast? Are you a good driver? When was the last time you raced? Please share =0p...

K1 Speed Seattle {Actually Redmond, WA} | K1 Speed Pro Karts are among the finest in the world. With an electric motor, they offer a driving experience that is far different than that of a gas-powered kart. Whereas a standard 2-stroke gas kart has in the range of 6.5 to 9HP, our electric motors produce 20HP and have maximum torque available instantly! ... more

I actually go Go-Kart racing lessons every 2 weeks on Thursdays at 4:00pm and it is fantastic. The Kart's reach speeds of up to 90MPH and that is quite fast. There is also a really long straight on the track.

Go-Karting does have a disadvantage though - you can get injured... Once I was driving on the straight at around 70 - 80MPH and while I was turning from the outside and started coming to the inside someone was turning from the inside and clipped me and my Go-Kart flipped over twice - Good job I had a helmet on - my hand have severe damage - I will scan my X-Ray for you tomorrow :)

So if you do plan to Go-Kart you need to be brave...

1	I love go-karting. I have done it a couple of times on a track near me, with karts reaching 50Mph, but due to the expensive nature of it, I am unable to consistently visit. answered Nov 01 '10 at 12:14 Tim Fontana 15.3k●135●199●368

I have never been Go-Karting because the area that I live in you have to be 16 to drive. Or you must pay a extremely large amount of money(+$200) to have to license to drive them under 16 years of age then you have to play to race also. But if I go out to Seattle(which I am looking into doing) I will defiantly be going to that place because it is much cheaper.
