melrose park indoor grand prix

I think they went out of business. There is nothing reflected on their web site to this effect but we drove there to find them locked down tighter than fort knox.. A call just led us to a message stating they were closed for racing operations. A little notification on their website in this day and age would have been helpful and save our group quite a drive. I also have about 12 races on my license that it appears I may have lost.Call before you attempt to go!!

These karts are wicked fast. Some more than others . I liked seeing my lap times and there is no way you can get through the track with out braking. Drifting around corners, making passes And it's indoors. Can't wait to come and see how they change the track!

The track itself was challenging, and it took me several laps to figure it out. Eventually I was able to stay flat through most corners, but definitely had to brake in two places. The group that I ran with had two good drivers and two novices, so it was a nice mix of completion and traffic. I’m a little conflicted on whether this was a three or four star experience. On one hand, it was great fun and something that I’d definitely like to do again. On the other hand, the kart that I had was in poor condition and I would have much preferred a better one. The steering wheel was very loose and the brakes were barely functional. I was able to control the kart, so it hadn’t deteriorated into a safety issue, but it undoubtedly affected my lap times. Being as it was my first time there and we ran four races back to back, I didn’t complain. However, I would not accept a similarly poor kart again.
