  • Go Cart meet!

    I went Go Carting today at Speeders and had a riot, while I was there I thought to myself this would be the perfect place for a competitive Eurodrivers get together. So some weekend in the future we should get some people together and show all the Honda enthusiasts that show up there how real drivers drive, and real cars look! I'm uploading a video on youtube of a race right now so I'll post it up when its done.

      I was there when it opened this morning. While I had fun the track is small and you barely have to let off the gas at race speed. So while this is fun I don't think it's as good as going to Allen bergs track. I only managed a 21.9 in my 3 races.

        If you're talking about the 425$ Allen Bergs day kart lesson this doesn't even compare. But for a little winter get together it's good enough for a fun afternoon.

            Ya the first race you do they make you go five slow (not this video) and then after that you go "race" speed. Which feels around 40km/hr decently quick but don't quote me on that. My buddy told me after 12 races you can go "Pro" speed which he said is 70 km/hr. You get a card which keeps track of your lap times and such.

              Yes true, 10 buddies will have a great time. After 12 races you can unlock pro speed. Which can be used with other pro racers they won't put two speeds on at the same time. This is awsome Calgary.

                The whole do 12 races and unlock pro speed thing is how they hook you into coming back.

                      Last time I went go carting it was my bachelor party and I was piss drunk... It might seem a bit slower while sober
