That league looks promising. Others?
M3 is always the answer.
Lol... you guys are weak. My neck is a little stiff today, but that's it.
I'm interested in the night league, but it will have to wait until Melissa's arm is healed enough to pick up a toddler.

Yeah I was just reading that. Price isn't bad, but they don't list start times. I wonder if they will use softer tires, or the hard compounds that they have on for the rentals? I'm interested just need more info. I do like that the fact it is a spec class as that just makes it that much more fun.
The only part of me that is sore now are my ribs where I kept hitting the side of the seat. Evidently they make a rib vest to prevent that so I may have to look into that more if I want to do this more.

Did you use the seat insert? I used one in the qualifying and race sessions, and it made a big difference.
I think the only thing I'd change next time would be gloves (got a couple of small blisters from fighting the wheel) and jeans instead of shorts. Down the big straights I could feel my shorts bellowing out like air brakes.

BTW, considering the cost (and for me, that fact that it's closer than any autocross/DE location), I can see spending a lot of time out at DKC in the future if they can keep the equipment maintained.
I got as much of a thrill from the close kart racing as I have at any DE, and since there are no associated /tire/brake/fuel/wear costs, a day out there is cheaper than even a local autocross event.
Hmm... I'll bet I could tow a shifter kart with the S2000...

Damn. Sounds like many of you are hooked. I need to get out there soon. How far of a drive is it from Plano ( say 75)?

Don't look...there's nothing down here for you!
probably about 45 minutes.
it was 1.5 hrs for me coming from 35w/820
S2000 + kart trailer + kart + pilot (with proper rib protection that still didn't prevent some cracked ribs, I'm told)
Nice driving Elistan! I'm guessing you were Eli.
I never karted before except for speed zone's slick track. If I do this again I'll be needing to get or make some kind of back protecttion. No cracked ribs; just bruised. Right side a bit more due to the hard braking left turns.
i got a bruise on my ribs from the first run (no seat padding).
