Anyone up to go karting(indoor or outdoor)?

Continuing the discussion from Group buy VW fans?:

This photo spurred the idea.

I’d be in for a Karting night. The 8th might be tough for me + not sure I’d want to compete against ‘league’ folks my first time out at a place like DKC.

You do need to have been to DKC at least once before they’ll let you compete in the League races, but there are lots of racers there and you will almost definitely wind up around someone about as fast as you are. I raced there all last year and its been some of the most fun i’ve had racing, even though ive never stood on the podium there.

Do you know if there are any groupons available for that evening? I would definitely be up to join a group attending.

I’m down to clown for some shifter kart action.

I’ve never actually been, but the karts at DKC aren’t your average kiddy-ride karts. The ‘small’ adult models go 50+ mph.

Yeah,

I went a few years back with my sister and cousin. While they fit, I had all kinds of problems.

Do most people do more than one race when they go? At $25/race for the basic kart that can get expensive fast.

They have deals for multiple races. 3 races is $60, and 3-4 races in one sitting is about all i typically can handle.

Those shifters are insane. I had a chance to drive one a while ago and it beat me the hell up, but it was awesome.

Which K1 is better? Richardson or Ft Worth/Arlington(?)?
When’s a good time to DKC?

K1 Richardson has 2 for 1 races every Thursday Night, combined with a local car show. Usually there by 7 running 3 or 4 races
