We also should get to Driven early as there are wait times. I went back on Sunday, and it was a 1hr 20min wait, so we left (this was around 8pm). Around when they open, there is not wait time, or at least nothing like that.

idk man about this whole electric deal... whats better than a little gas powered motor. they go about 45 mph and are pretty close to the real deal.

RPM's karts will top out at 40 mph. Driven's karts will top out at 45 mph. Also, with electric motors, you have 100% torque available at 0 rpm whereas gas engine will build up in torque. Thus, you'll reach the top speed of an electric kart quicker than you would with a gas-powered kart.

IT WAS SUPER FUN! I placed 1st in the race I was in, and so far, my time is the 6th fastest of today's races. Not bad for my first time ever on a "real" go-kart. hahaha. These karts have a lot of torque, and will pin you back. It'll understeer and oversteer, so it'll perfect your driving techniques too, which I like.
A three race pack comes out to be $51 bucks. The wait time is incredibly long. Me and three friends got there at opening time, around 11 am. There was already a long line, and the next available race that the four of use would be in at the same time was going to be 1:15 pm! So, after everyone else registers, then I'm assuming we are going to have to wait several hours if there is going to be at least 8 of us racing at the same time (note: there's only 8 karts racing at a time).

If you guys are wondering about lap 14, the karts were electronically stopped because of a spin out that the crew members had to fix. hahahaha. Crazy how they can limit the speed or stop all of the karts at once.
