NCVC Go-Kart Meet Ideas

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Gauging interest for the next NCVC meet, which will be a go-kart meet. The three places are either Driven Raceway (for those that went last time, you guys should remember it) in Fairfield, or Umigo Racing in Livermore, or Malibu Grand Prix in Redwood City

Comparing go-karts:

Pro and cons for each:
Driven
Pros
- faster go-karts (can be 45, but we'll most likely be going 40 mph)
- instant acceleration (due to electric motors)
- 3 separate races
- adds to our race count (for those who attended the last one)
- chance to rematch against me
- NEW TRACK, NEW TRACK
Cons
- more expensive ($45)
- shorter races (about 4 minutes each)

Umigo
Pros
- longer race (15 minutes)
- cheaper ($25 if a membership is not necessary, $35 if a membership is required)
- would be a different track for those who attended the previous go-kart meet
Cons
- only one race
- gradual acceleration (due to gas powered karts)

Malibu
Pros
- unlimited laps
- cheapest ($21)
- new track for those that went to the last go-kart meet
Cons
- slower karts


If voting for Malibu, just say you are voting for it. I don't think I can add another poll option now. lol
