Alright guys, last night we went to this place called Gold coast indoor hire karts. and i must say it was fucking awesome. the guys there are really relaxed preety much follow their few rules (which are very reasonable) and you will be sweet. the karts are not governed 8 or 9 hp honda's i think he said. and you can get a fair bit of drift action. and it's not like kingston where if you break it your out. my mate mannaged to get a wheel off halfway through a slide and they just brought him out a new kart. and i destroyed a belt and that was sweet too. and the prices were reasonable it cost us $80 for 3 12 minutes sessions and cus we were the only people that showed up last night they let our runs go on a bit longer. so yeah just thought i would throw this up quickly and ill include the their contact details and address at the bottom.

Cheers,
marco.

yeah bigm you should be sweet. my mate would be bigger than you and he was overtaking me:P haha but then again he owns a honda and getting loose is scary:P.

yeah. there was plenty of loose action, they have some painted bits halfway around corners:) it was preety sick and all you have to do is kick the brake and turn the wheel and it's just like sliding a stock keto with chopped springs LOL. i think my mate is going to put vids on youtube ill add links later if he does:)

all in all makes for a good night when followed by a few laps of cavil:P

Cheers,
marco.

you dont have to kick the break, all you have to do is throw the wheel and it steps out.

if you kick the break, you will slip the belt, which will break the belt,

which costs $90 and your ride costs $30 so you will be kicked off.


the nicer you are to our carts, the longer time you will get on track.
