Thumbs up Karting in Houston

So, who would like to head over to the karting place behind the Ferrari Dealership?

FYI - I posted this on http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=29

Also, Let me know when you wish to meet up with the G's & Subs.

ive been to track 21 a few times. ive neve been to the other place, but the thing i hate about track 21 is that the person who always gets 1st place is the one who get the single fastest lap time.

in a real race the person who crosses the finish line first is the winner. at track 21, if my first lap is 5 seconds, i could in theory stop racing and still win if my 5 seconds is fast enough to beat any other lap.

when i've been, i usually cross the finish near the front, but rarely get a 1st or 2nd because my fastest lap would be slightly less than some Joe Shmoe who got one good lap in b/c nobody was around him to slow him down. SO all his buddies are like "man you got 1st!"...even if i lapped him twice. get the idea?

Default Track 21 ROCKS!!!!

Ok. We ARE going to Track 21. That place was big time kick butt!!!. The tracks was much longer and the karts were much faster as well, Although Ezra ( My Sub Sti bud) decided to spin out right in front of my causing me to hit is kart. Ezra ran best at 25.474. My best was at 25.491.

I took pictures of every part of the track if anyone needs to see it. Just let me know.
