That was ridiculous. The one puck flew about 9-10 feet high and ended up about 30+ feet away. ---

the karting was quite good. maybe it’s different if you’re heavier but the cars were faster enough such that you couldnt just floor it the whole time. you actually had to drive them. ---

Yeah racing was far from terrible. If I could’ve bought more then 5 races for the discounted amount I would have… I’m down for whenever again. Weekend would be awesome just so we can have an audience lol Also not sure if you guys want to take over, but if not I’m going to be trying to work with him on getting as much league info as possible now so we can get a good interest thread going. If they plan on starting in January that only gives a bit over a month… ---

You couldn’t treat the accelerator as an on/off switch, you really did have to think about what you were doing. Understeer and oversteer situations were very realistic too. ---

But when your group is all guys who kinda know what they’re doing, and with the way they space you out, unless you really have a spin you won’t be needing to pass anyone. ---

i do wish the track was a bit wider and longer. passing is such a wicked element. the track and each race is really too short for any significant passing to be honest. it’s more like an F1 race… you have to really be good to pass and the guy you’re passing also has to be really good to not crash when you pass him 🙂 we should see if we can get extended races… like 20 laps instead of 14… and then buy two races and bump it to 40 laps… that would be awesome. over that period of time you would see some passing and the occasional yellow (slowing) wouldnt be so much of a nuisance. ---

So one thing we were talking about is if we do a league, to take out the chicane after turn one to open up that straight for better passing/lines. And the league is 45min long not a set lap count ---

I’d be interested in the league for sure if you guys wanted to get one going. Any idea what the pricing is on it? Sent from my iPhone using [Tapatalk](http://tapatalk.com/m?id=1) ---

wonder if they will do the enduro races with teams like AJ’s used to do? 3-4 guys for 2 hours of driving. that was a good time. a straight 45 min run solo would be badass though. im in for that!
