Look at this Is anyone interested? I think it would be a great meet. I-drive karting, and racing ricers afterwards. I also posted this Idea on LS1.com

$30 a person, or $25.50 if we get a group of over 10 for unimited cart racing for a day.

Might be intereseted looks like I might actually fit in them. No Skinny guys allowed you get to big of a weight adbvantage.

When I was living in Tampa, there was this place called Malibu Grand Prix. OMG were those cars fast! It was $3 per race, but it was WELL worth it and you got your track times after you finished.

If this thing is anything like Malibu GP, you're in for a thrill.

i went there one time w/ a group of friends and it was a blast. the tracks are wooden and it had just started to sprinkle when we went on. well i was the first car out so when i was going through the first sharp turn i didn't realize you HAVE to brake to make it and i almost slammed into the wall. after figuring it out, we all messed around and almost got kicked out. we had 3 major collisions, 2 were t-bones and the other i slammed my friend into the wall. i'm totally up for going whenever, just let me know. btw, i'll probably have the weight advantage over some of you guys.

yeah now that I think about it, I have never not been kicked out of a go kart place.

The employees don't understand what it is to defend your racing line. Especially at the NASCART track in south florida.

We USED to have the Malibu here in Orlando (I-Drive), but it got shut down a few years back.

Those go carts are really slow. I've been there a couple times and I can tell you that you never have to take your foot off the gas. The only one that is worth paying for is the flat one with all the tight turns (you can slide around the turns). The wooden tracks with the hills suck.

I second that opinion.

I wish I could have a tape worm for about 50 pounds worth...

I would be up for it if a group went. Used to do this all the time "back in the day"!

Man guys, the slick track on 17-92 @ Lil'500 is definitely closer and a lot more fun than that track. I HAVE been kicked out of there before for bypassing the governor and blowing down the front straight @ about 25 mph (they usually only go about 10-12mph). Lil'500 is also picky about letting you bypass the governor.....I wish we had a place here like they do down in the West Palm Beach area. I'm not sure if it is still there, but back in the day they had a 3/4 mile, 75mph go-kart track. I've got an idea, let's rent out Daytona international and "run what ya brung." I'll bet no one will be man enough to defend their line then!
