My team and I went to Dromo 1 today for some Go-Kart racing...great place lots of fun and lots of drifiting

I can only recomend that place, even tough it's an hour drive for me

http://www.dromo1.com/

 

yea...i've been there a few times. its pretty fun. i got killed last week tho. for a sec, i thought i was doin reallllllllllly baaaaaaaaaaaad. but i later found out that the first and second place guys were doin near 24 sec flat laps, and third was doin near 25 sec flat. i didnt feel so bad anymore...i just need more practice.

point of reference for those that haven't been here: a high 25 to mid 26 sec lap usually can take first place in a round.

 

oh yea...there's another go cart place like this coming out in irvine soon called k-1 speed.

 

my best lap was 28.01....I sucked. I'm a drag racer not a track racer. I came in 6'd but I had fun anyways.

 

Been there once last year. It was lotta fun. My first time ever driving a go cart. Couldn't catch that guy ahead of me though. He was so friggin fast. I came in second.

 

k1 is supposed to be better. better response since they are electric cars.

adams kart in riverside is fun too. outdoor karting.and a lot cheaper : $20

 

I went to Adams last year it was fun but I enjoyed Dromo more because of the drifting

I wish there would be a place like that in the Valley

 

How long are the races?

 

Also, I saw the website on K-1, but there is no info on where it is or what the phone number is. Anyone know this info?

 

It's about 20 minutes per race.
8 rounds of qualifying and then the actual race.
They are very strict there as well in regards to bumping and passing and so forth, which I like. They want you to act as if these were real cars, very good practice for the real world
