TCG goes Karting! - Sunday October 17th at 6pm @ Kart Circuit Autobahn
- Thread starter Teege24
- Start date
Well guys, the track just informed me that we can't officially rent the track anytime after 5pm but they assured me they will keep our group together racing at the same time, however we can run into a scenario where they throw in a few unknown racers to fill spots. Also, there could be a little bit longer of a wait time in between races as Saturday is there busiest day of the week.
The route of an actual rental is $125 per racer per hour and has to be completed by 5pm
I'm assuming we are okay with maybe running with a few randoms and the wait shouldn't be to bad in between races.

i organized a few 30+ person work events here, and each time they let us use more and more of the track and elevation changes. h/t to
Teege24 because organizing this shit is a nightmare - particularly collecting money for it. i would front a couple grand then have to chase people to pay who signed up at work - everyone being well paid IT consultants at that, many more than me - super frustrating. he's probably having a better experience with you actual car bros though.i thought most places in the US required pants and closed-toe shoes? certainly the latter.
i was annoyed a few years ago as i kart like 12 places with my own helmet and gopro, but this place in the philippines wouldn't let me use the gopro 'for safety reasons' - meanwhile they didn't care about sandals (nor did places in thailand) but this place had a limited set of old and ill fitting helmets for all. i would watch first time girls put on helmets without taking glasses off that totally just rattled around their heads. and fyi if any ladies are going, band that hair up/tuck it under your shirt in the back, every few years you see a karting accident where some girl's long hair gets stuck in a chain or something and it is super super super bad.
This is exactly why Melrose Indoor Grand Prix is no more. A girl with really long hair got her hair caught in the axle or chain. Someone from the track staff used scissors to free her while they waited for EMTs. The girl was of some religion that didn't allow her to cut her hair. She filed a big lawsuit and won. The place couldn't afford to stay open and had to shut down.
especially in the US i expect staff to be a lot better about this, usually it is elsewhere more lax you see/hear about this happening. and i think a quite frequent outcome is a pretty gruesome death. :/
Legit have no clue, i remember you saying that though. The last couple times i've done indoor karting were at K1 and Accelerate. Both were a blast but man are indoor kart tracks small, it is not easy to passN20GT
Was Melrose indoor where we did gas karts?
We revisited 1 year later and the place was an absolute dump no toilet seats, steering columns on karts loose and dangerous, no ventilation, seemed like we all got minor gassing
why do you keep targeting me? did i argue with you in a recent political thread or something
i have high expectations of you as the TCG leader in the TCG vs. IRL death match, don't disappoint me mook
That's not Melrose. Melrose was a little sketchy, but was nicer than that inside and ventilation wasn't bad. There was in place in Bridgeview that had gas karts. Maybe it was that place.
That was 8 years ago, mcmike can't remember what he ate for dinner last night
That looks like chicago indoor racing, which also closed down. I went a few years ago and the guy just got all new gas carts, it was pretty fun
