This place looks like electric karts, kinda like what they have at the Champs karting places. Not too thrilled about those electric karts cuz they generally dial them down to maximize the cycles of their batteries. That said; HECK YEAH! I'm down for some karting!

I'd like to go Friday after work. Just to check it out, maybe do a run or two to build a comparision. Anyone else interested in joining me. I'm thinking about 4 or 5 PM (depending on what time works best for everyone).

Excellent!! 5PM it is!



Some of their tracks look pretty impressive, but the Seattle track looks fairly basic. But we'll see how fun it is this Friday.

yes, you can drift them all the way through the first turn.......I think its actually the fast way through the turn if you hit it right and left foot brake at the same time

So, is this course quite a bit larger than others, like Sykart & Traxx?

Its in the same location as Zones arcade & Champs Carting used to be (if not the exact same building, right next to it). Looks like fun, but I can't make it this week. Next time I'm there!
