They do have a meeting room but they are charging $90 for 1 hour. They also intend to have leagues. I'm going early when the doors open 11am bring my Garmin camera and plan on taking in a few runs. Anyone else going?

Looks like not going to make it today my new wheels and tires came late last night so I'll be installing them today and try to get some miles on the tires before school tomorrow. I hear people are allowed to camp out overnight ....so maybe this worked out better for me.

It looked fun on the news and they seemed to stick a bit.

The grip is way better than other places I've been with polished floors. These floors feel like 800 grit sandpaper.. our karts were side hopping through stuff trying to cope with the grip!

Jed, Kevin, and I went last night. It was fun. Jed was really fast. Kevin and I have time to find. I think I was figuring out things, but it is tough to get a good time in the first few laps and it was crowded enough that we started to catch traffic towards the end of our sessions.

I saw Killboy's video, but I still wasn't prepared for the violence of the bumps. Anyway, I think I'll be going back a lot.
