On a small scale.. seriously one of the best public carting tracks Ive ever been on. All the carts are new and fast and the track was pretty well designed. The have timing equipment there as well which records all of your lap times and then posts everyones place based on average time. LCD monitors all over the place that also diplay the times. I had a blast!

Heres the pits.. a nice 3 lane garage

Must've had good time there. I wonder if we'll ever see Gocarts come to Calgary again.

I heard there was a new gocart place opening up somewhere east of the city on glenmore. I can't remember the name of it though. My boss kicked the sales guy out the office before he got past a basic introduction.

I miss Grand Prix. That was the best go kart track. Fast carts and a fast track. They closed it down and were supposed to open a bigger one by Barlow, but it never opened?

Kartworld sucks dick. They got their new carts or whatever, but they have their goveners on them and they make em just a bit faster than their old ones. Me and my buds got kicked out because we flipped one of their carts by acceident lol.

Nothing beats the old Kart Gardens airport, for those of us old enough to remember it.

True story... I used to go around stealing empty bottles and selling them at the depot to scrounge up enough money for karting there! :rofl:

Oh the memories at that track... dead gophers squirting on my helmet, flat out at the limit turn 5 and 6, drifting thru turn 7 to scrub off speed instead of braking... I miss that place.
