Is this place still open? Looking to have a party for a buddy there but their [website](http://www.ajsgrandprix.com/) just says “AJ’s Is Closed, Thank You” Anybody have any info? ---

Im assuming they went out of business. Not too many repeat customers after you sink 30 bones into a 15 minute race. ---

saw this coming. Went one time and said I wouldnt go again unless prices went down. Not worth paying that much to drive a go-kart for that short of time. ---

I used to pay 70 or 90 for the month unlimited I cant remember exactly now, it wasn’t bad though. ---

> [@PureXTC](#): > > Im assuming they went out of business. Not too many repeat customers after you sink 30 bones into a 15 minute race. That’s not cheap, but at the same time people spend 30 or 35 to autocross and that only gets you about 5-7 minutes of actual seat time and costs you most of a Sunday in time to get it. $30 for 15 minutes of timed wheel to wheel racing looks like a bargain then. I think the bigger problem is people just get bored with it and stop coming back. It’s the same 6 or so turns over and over. ---

That sucks. I went there a few times and still had 2 races left on my card. ---

It’s the same 6 or so turns over and over. IMO, the track is just not fast enough I’ve been to several other cart tracks that are comparable and it was much funner with bigger turns that toss your body around.
