Default Vancouver members, post your TBC go kart best time

Just went today..intense! they refinished the floor. its so much faster now..as long as you stay on the racing line. if u go off u pay..mostly in pain and secondly in time..i found out the hard way trying to pass :shock: . shit , i smoked the tire wall and moved it a good 2 feet, i didnt know where i was for a little bit....more than a little rattled..but it got me focused on taking extremely good lines after that!

In any case I ran a 30.83sec best lap and a 31.64 avg.

I went there about a year ago and haven't been back unfortunately, but I recall my laps being about a 34 second average. It was pretty dirty though and it was really easy to get the rear end to slide out.

pfftt. tire wall!?! The new Indoor Indy track in hamilton recently replaced all their walss with concrete. lmfao. My best lap at Indoor Indy is 25.1 seconds. I talked to the guys that work there, and thats faster than many of their employees so Im proud of it. But those walls hurt like a biiatch!

The indoor place is allright. I prefer F440 in Tsawassen myself.

Wow, this seems to be a Canadian only posting, so sorry to interrupt Is anyone here from around the D.C. area? The track that I normally go to is called AllsportsGP in Dulles. My fastest there is a 22.814. Those damn shifterkarts that come by on Sundays usually do 18s while on 2 wheels at the end of the straight. Its a pretty free flowing track.

The only other one that I know of is in Richmond. Their track is much more physically demanding cuz its just one turn after another---much like that budweiser commercial track. My best time there was a 27.1

Guys you have to try the track at Santanial Park in Toronto. That track is INSANE. It takes about 3-4 minutes to do one lap and its insane. It got a bridge, a semi oval, lots of elevation changes.............Got to be the best track in the world.
