i had a fucking blast there today.

my cousins buddy had a few people there for his birthday- so i was dropping off my cousin- and decided to check it out... walked inside and was really impressed by it... nothing like what i imagined...

one of the dudes from the party backed out- so a slot was opened for me...

why the hell not i decided and i am so glad i did it.

absolute blast. we had 12 people?

we all did 3 15 lap races each- with like 8 other people out there at a time... (total of four races... you sat out one) then we did a final 10 person race- which was 30 laps.

we were at the buffalo grove location, on track 2.

first race took some getting used to- as to how hard you can actually push the carts- and where to enter turns and what not... and how to make a smooth line... Yet I started 10th, and took 4th... another thing that was very noticeable- was as the tires heated up- even tho small- and indoor on concrete- they became significantly stickier...


final race i started in 7th, and finished 7th... but had an absolute riot.


I did manage tho to post the 6th quickest time of the week for the track, of 15.93...

if you ever get the chance... do it.


anyone else ever been?

i believe ilikebmx999 works there... at the addison? location...

no doubt.


the thing that was a lil unfun... was there was a girlfriend or 3 of my cousins friends there racing....

and they fucking sucked. and that reallllly hindered everybody- they took the track suuuuper slow... and there is little room to pass if any... so normally a bunch of people would get bunched up behind one of them... and then all hell would break loose- wed all smash into eachother- and get warnings/put in the penalty box.

nah somehow hustling would start- bottles would magically appear on karts... stickier tires would happen... and people would be asking for spots.


something i noticed was that weight affects em quite a bit... some of the guys were significantly smaller than me (weightwise)... and would pull on me suuuuper hard in the straights... but the added thunder of my beer drinking body... helped me to hold turns better.
