    Is there a price breakdown anywhere??
    YIKES... Looking at their Chicago site, it looks like it is designed more for those with their own cart, although but they do have an "Arrive and Drive program" where "fees include everything that you will need including an all new Italian built Parolin XT-40 Endurance race kart, pit pass and top of the line safety gear."

    Here are the prices:
    ***************************************
    ARRIVE & DRIVE RACE SERIES
    $75.00 per race day
    Race day package includes two ten minute practice sessions, two eight lap heat races and fourteen lap final race.
    ***************************************
    PRACTICE DAYS$100.00 per hour
    $50.00 per additional hour
    ***************************************
    DRIVING SCHOOL $350.00
    ***************************************

    I wonder if we could rent it out for a session so that we would only be racing against one another.

    Hard to tell, but looking at their high-detail map it seems to be its own location.

    There was an Indoor kart facility near my house in California that was aimed more at people without carts. The Kartplex prices are probably pretty fair for what you get, but it is a little pricey if you are just looking for a taste. The Indoor track I went to had a package for around $50 a person that included several practice laps, a couple 25 lap heat races, and a 25 lap final race. If you could get 8-10 people, they would give you a break on the price and let your group have the track to yourself.

    That sucks... I found the price list for the one in Sacramento and we would have had no problem getting together a group at the TCB Outlaw Sprint Race prices.

    We used to go there on our lunch breaks...

    It was right around the corner from the office.

    Even if they won't rent us the track for a day, we could schedule a time to crash one of their Arrive & Drive days.
