We're closing out the winter months with some Go Karts down in the southern part of the state! We previously visited Speed Raceway in Cinnaminson as a group & had a blast. We found out a few things that day:

Check your chivalry at the door.
Apparently, our bigger members know a thing or two about throttle control.
GoPro footage will land you in everyone's good graces.
Face-shields are for the birds.

Time: Meet at 12:00, go in at 12:45

Nailed it.
First run was sloppy but with lots of passing. They make you run a helmet with a visor. Mine doesn't have one. They kept saying visors down so I just brushed my hand over the helmet face like I was putting it down. I got past two guys doing that but the last guy got me. The first part of the vid caught that lol.

Didn't record the second race for some reason but this is the third. My wife was in front at the start so I didn't want to pass her like an ass.

Pics from the last time we met at this spot, stolen from BLS's photobucket account: http://s176.photobucket.com/user/bmdeluca/library/Events/NJFBOA%202013

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

In.

I think I had more fun at this place than V17 when it was still in business. At least as much. Very quick, have the graphs and rankings that are required for bragging purposes. Well worth the drive, and I think we did 3-4 races last time.

[LTb1ow]

V17 was infinitely better. Road rage and drifting was allowed, and raced in packs vs this steeple chase actual racing BS.

[wretched73]

I'm in.

LTb1ow please pic me up and drive me. I'll pay for your fuel and the lulz will be complimentary.

EDIT- Adam, are those fire proof racing sandals?

[sweetbmxrider]

I had a blast. Its def more racer orientated but the karts are quick and can be drifted on the big turn :lol: Not sure I'll make this year though :-?

This.

Well except the "allowed" part.... i got the permaban from racing there that day

[redsoxsstink]

In, Possibly plus 1 or 2. Waiting on their responces. I'm looking forward to this

[88Iroc5speed]

looks like a lot of fun! I will try to make it!

[deadtrend1]

Most likely i will swing by. Possibly do lunch at whistlers afterwards

[Jersey Mike]

Just wanted to bump this up for new eyes. 10 days away folks!

[25th t/a]

My cast is coming off on Monday I'm in for sure

[Blackbirdws6]

Sure

[Jersey Mike]

One week out! Hmm.. maybe I can drum up some side bets & friendly wagers :mrgreen:

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I will be coming from North NJ if anyone wants to carpool.

[Punkmaster 98]

As of now its myself +4

[redsoxsstink]

[Jersey Mike]

As of now its myself +4

I love how you roll, Jon :lol:

[88Iroc5speed]

So what do we need to do before we arrive there? Make reservations? Purchase races in advance?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

You can purchase in advance to avoid any line that may be there at the front desk, but no homework on your part is needed.

You need to show up with your friends ready to have fun :nod:

[Jersey Mike]

Yeah, I'm just showing up the day of with my fire suit, autographed #24 head sock, and a credit card.

[88Iroc5speed]

So how many races will we be able to do?

[25th t/a]

Any body taking there beast out there

[Jersey Mike]

So how many races will we be able to do?

You can race until your heart is content! :lol: That's going to be a personal preference thing based on each individual. I'll probably be in for 3 or 4 races, and I'm sure I won't be alone. There will be others than only do 1 or 2 races, and some that do none at all.

For reference, each race is ~10 minutes long. They allow up to 7 people on the track at a time. There's limited down time between races--as soon as one race is over, they have the next group ready to go on.

They have a diverse list of race options as well; You can find them on their website here: http://speedraceway.com/gokart-racing-prices/ They also offer discounts for Police/Military/Fire.
I'll likely do the "3 races for $45 deal" for myself. It should be a good way to pass the afternoon.

[Jersey Mike]

Manana!

[Blackbirdws6]

I won't be able to make it today. Have a great time everyone. Post the results.

[Jersey Mike]

Chase, Josh & I are ~5 minutes away.

[Punkmaster 98]

Bummed I had to leave early. Had something come up. Was great to see everyone.

[deadtrend1]

Who parked that yellow Beetle next to me?

[redsoxsstink]

I Had a great time. Can never go wrong racing, no matter what it is. Watch the other people there race was hilarious too.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Great time, lot of new faces/non-members. 18.71 was my best of all 4 runs.

My buddy did either 3 or 4 race straight and then complained of how his recent rotator cuff injury was hurting :nod:

[Jersey Mike]

I've now got a personal bone to pick with Dan :lol: Had a blast, all in all. Thanks for the laughs guys
