Indoor go kart tracks on the proper Polini 8hp bikes are a world away from blatting around a car park....good trackday practice IMO....and a great sport for the kids...
You see all the dads there with the stopwatches checking the lap times....and giving their offspring a proper nagging for not being on pole or the front row....
Last time I was there though I was deemed fast enough to race with the kids who race at national level..and although I got a bit carried away barging my way through in the hairpins.. I ran over the track owners son`s hand when he flopped off in front of me after an attack on the hairpin.......
You think ...I`ll take it easy on the kids when you start..but there all over you inside & outside and can leave you on the straight due to there small weight....
Great fun....the 12-14 HP liqued cooled machines are just plain scary but heavier on the maintenance....
