Go carting is among the greatest fun for the dollar going. I love it. It's also the basic training ground for many of the worlds best drivers in all categories.

I had a session on the company the other week - i nearly forgot how much fun it is.. Wish I could find all those apexes though..:P

I can't decide what is more fun: gokarting, or paintballing... hmmmm

5PL1TDCS10N · 22 Dec 2006, 5:32 pm

Now paintballin' is the ducks nuts too! I think on the fun scale they are equal!

Me? Scared? Go karts into unprotected armco at 50kmh and a wheels flying past my ears is my idea of fun. In fact.. I think I am getting aroused right now at the thought. I aint scared, its been 4 months now and I can barely feel the whiplash. Fully up for a rematch. I reckon the track owner may be a little scared though.

Yep, gonna do a few push ups to try and improve my karts power to weight. You can come and help me with that if ya like.

MISS VDUB · 23 Dec 2006, 11:45 am

Hey, when that wheel went flying past me at full speed, i swear i had no idea where it came from! 😂

He didnt take my license off me, so thats always a good sign, and they were quick with welding the wheel to the axle again!

Always up for a rematch Mr Helbus! 😘

VW Go-Karting day, I'd be in that! I 'd beat everyone too.... just ask Eden. :P

amazeer · 24 Dec 2006, 10:16 am

If you want to win, you had better be in front of Ash from the start. NOBODY gets past Ash! (alive)

PrettyBlueBug · 24 Dec 2006, 8:46 pm

Uhhh.... I would. :P

MISS VDUB · 24 Dec 2006, 8:55 pm

Is that a challenge? 😁

Amazer almost didnt live to tell the tale? Good thing he keeps that spare pair of jocks on the glove box of the Lancer! 😂

This is oldish footage now but It'll give you an insight into what its like to pedal one of these brutes on a rough road course. This is what it sounds like in my old kart at Baskerville which is mighty rough now!
I can asure you, these are very, very brave men.

Enjoy!

PrettyBlueBug · 27 Dec 2006, 7:28 pm

Blutopless 2, YES!!! I'd definitely be in it, and am sure I could coax Eden into hopping along too. :P

There's also a great Go-Kart place in Moorabbin on Chesterville Road. Very professional place, great race format and cater for any size group. It has a 2nd storey viewing bit where you look down onto the entire track. Just awesome! 😀

mscabrio · 28 Dec 2006, 6:30 pm

I'm in ! I have plenty of practice, driving a Daewoo each day is like driving a Go Kart !!

It should be fun watching this though, Rod likes to think that he is king of the Go Karts !

PrettyBlueBug · 29 Dec 2006, 6:02 am

I'll beat him, don't you worry! lol :P

what's this "think" business? :P

oval TOFU · 29 Dec 2006, 9:12 am

That track in Sunshine is really good (and the chick behind counter is kinda hot too). the track has a pretty good circuit and the carts are pretty consistant and powerful.. i'd be up for that Rodimus!

amazeer · 29 Dec 2006, 9:19 am

state championships + nationals finals in Raleigh next VW Spectacular! 🙄

5PL1TDCS10N · 29 Dec 2006, 9:49 am

I'd like this one when I go racing next!>>
