Indoor Go-Karting!!!
We drove down to north Denver last night and visited a new indoor kart track called Unser Racing & Entertainment. We being my boy Brian and our friend The Nick Bair (of Supermotarded fame). To sum it all up into one sentence:
You know you were having fun when you find pieces of tire hidden among your unmentionables :]
This is just my back...see the little tire pieces? WELL they went everywhere...
We may have hit that threshold of too much fun haha! And our little bodies not used to a lack of power steering/out of motorcycling shape are definitely feeling it this morning! BUT we had a BLAST!
Unser Racing just opened this past November 2010. I really hope they stick around for a while! Last night was Thunder Thursday which gives you unlimited races (with a temporary membership purchase) for just $65. Normally one race is $30 and three races is $80 so this Thunder Thursday deal is a great one! The carts are really nice, the track has its bumps and quite a bit of sharp turns but that's what makes it interesting. They also have free lockers for your stuff and you get to hold on to the key which is nice. Also, they have really nice fire suits if you feel like you need to wear one. Overall it was a great experience and we will be returning. Here are some more pictures from last night!
This is the view from the locker room to the viewing area where we all hung out. Apparently directly to my left they will be building a restaurant with a better view of the track :)
Here is the view of the track from that waiting area...basically just the pit...but they did have a camera showing us the far end where we saw one guys helmet fly off...still don't know how that happened...
Here is Nick and Brian as soon as we figured out the name of Brian's blog (coming soon) "The Adventures of Drizzle and Bam" :)
And this is me! Waiting for our next race hehe
This Saturday me and the boys will be going on an adventure to get Nick some new stuff for his brand new bike Bam! I will be guest photographer on his blog to help him document it all. It's gonna be fun!
:) That sounds like so much fun. Speedzone in SoCal had the most KILLER kart track. It was outdoors, but it IS SoCal- but they were fast and MAN could they corner! The only thing that made me sad was you had to do it all by yourself because they were the legit racekarts and if there was more than one person you'd probably lose a limb (but it would be ever so worth it hehe).
ReplyDeleteAlso- they had drag racing. You pushed a button to shift gears and it was definitely FAST. I don't really remember my times (because it was literally over ten years ago *tear*) but for some reason 72 mph and 3.4 seconds is standing out in my mind. Haha.
I raced against 4 other middle aged men and kicked their butts. We got three races, and best out of three got gold. That was me! Hehe.
So much fun. Thanks for sharing your adventure. :)
