March 2017 Meet - Sun 3/26 Speed Raceway, Cinnaminson
 

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.


Date: Sunday, 3/26/17 - Rain or Shine
Time: Meet at 12:00, go in at 12:45

Speed Raceway
1103 Route 130 South
Cinnaminson, New Jersey 08077

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/bmd.../NJFBOA%202013

Anti_Rice_Guy 03-06-2017 02:20 PM

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 03-06-2017 02:32 PM

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

wretched73 03-06-2017 03:03 PM

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 03-06-2017 03:07 PM

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 :-?

redsoxsstink 03-06-2017 06:13 PM

88Iroc5speed 03-07-2017 10:14 AM

deadtrend1 03-09-2017 09:09 PM

Jersey Mike 03-16-2017 08:45 AM

25th t/a 03-17-2017 07:04 PM

Jersey Mike 03-19-2017 09:04 PM

Anti_Rice_Guy 03-22-2017 09:02 AM

I love how you roll, Jon :lol:

88Iroc5speed 03-23-2017 09:27 AM

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

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 03-23-2017 11:27 AM

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

88Iroc5speed 03-23-2017 12:35 PM

So how many races will we be able to do?

25th t/a 03-23-2017 12:54 PM

Any body taking there beast out there

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.
