Hey guys, where are places for Go Karting around the lower mainland area?

I know of the one in richmond

Thanks!

Theres the track in Tsawassen (sp?)

The have the F40's and go-karts. IMHO the F40 aren't worth the money. You can only go one car at a time and its just time trials.

Believe there is one on 6 road ( been 15 years since I went there ) and there is an indoor one on SW Marine by the Knight Street bridge.

 

TBC Karting in Richmond

 

It's actually on Sidaway Rd. Its a sh!ty track though and the carts are slower than my lawn mower. Its more of a kids place.

The one on Marine Drive stayed open for a couple years but their closed like 3 years ago. If its the one I'm thinking of.

 

The F440 are toed in too much to get any real hard cornering in. I tried them once, got 2 laps in and the thing baffed on me. Got out and they fiddled with it (felt like a fuel problem), bit later I got back in it.... well I think they forgot to set the throttle governor as low as it should have been because the thing was then fast enough to be fun. I beat my buddies' lap times by 2seconds . I did get a set of corners down far better than them so that also helped. I had a pretty good "off" with the f440 cart, lost it under braking. If you are a bigger buy you wont be able to drive the f440s. Im 6ft and skinny but my knees were rammed into the bar up front so I couldnt get much force on the brake pedals. The slow carts are too slow to be much fun. Although I did manage to break a spindle on one .

Best bet then is to take a race 1/4 midget to the street

ironz383 - yes, it was a really bad track back then, can't imagine what its like now...

 

I wanna try out Go Karting one day, always wondered what all the fuss was about never understood it, but I guess I dreamt of driving some crazy scarry car where I"m bigger than the car, scarry in my dreams I guess its even scarrier in real life nice.
