To answer your question, the karts were pretty cool. They appear to be regularly maintained as they did not have plastic falling off them. They are very careful to tell you during the driver briefing exactly where to stand when you get into them. All the karts appear to be brand new and from the looks of how the drivers were running in previous and post heats to mine it really didn't matter what kart you ended up with. I will say that I found the seating position to be very awkward, I like to sit up and forward but the kart seats are tilted back causing you to sit with the "Detroit Lean". Another thing I noticed right away was when the brake pedal was depressed it immediately killed the throttle so you really have to focus on maintaining momentum to get quick lap times. Like I said before, I'll be back up there during Christmas week, maybe we can meet up for a few heats. I think it would be fun.
