Not sure of what type of carts they are, I do know they are all computer controlled, and they can dial up or dial down your cars performance at the click of a mouse. The track starts out with a small lazy s, then a hairpin right hand 180 degree turn, followed by another lazy s, followed by left hand 180 degree hairpin turn, short straight, followed by another 180 degree right hand turn, long straight into a 80 degree right hand turn back to another 80 degree right hander back in to the first set of turns.....The track itself is just a little slick, but nowhere near the slick track of the old "Speedway 17". You can get the cars to power slide through some of the turns, but the real trick is to not end up piled up at the hairpin turns, as the brakes are quite touchy. The times listed above is still what the folks running the place suggest....perhaps one night over the holiday break, or whenever, as I have off from the 22nd of this month, to the 21st of next month, and my sons operation is not scheduled for that time...................

PS: Anyone want a jet powered racing cart that goes 175+mph in the quarter mile ........

given the competition will be high we need to guarantee the carts are setup the same and have the same hp. maybe we can get transam-jim to be chief scrutineer!
