Today I was on Rt 17 N near Rochell Park, going back to work from lunch and was this place http://www.v-17.com/

Anyone interested in going. maybe we can set up a mini meet in the next few weeks. looks like fun. Let me know

 

There's been interest and noninterest here... lol... there were several old posts about it. I know someone who goes there every saturday though..

 

I needed to check this section of the sit more often. This looks like one of those things where it would be more fun with about 5 to 10 people so we could get all on the track together.

 

Someone just told me about that place too...never knew it was there...that would be a good place to meet up and chill, it's only minutes away from me...

 

That place is amazing i went in for job training there last fall and you get to test drive the carts they go about 40-60 mph. There amazing you can drift around corners its crazyyyy.

 

this sounds like fun, mac keep me posted if you wanna go up one day

 

fred lits hit up this place next saturday.. what time you getting out of work ?

 

since you guys live around me.. [lodi] do you know anyone that can led swap closeby?

 

That person would be me

hehe, People we can definetly roll there i usually race there just like Nick said on saturdays and its very fun.
Someone said those karts go 40-60 mph thats a little off... they go 30 tops which is still nice considering its indoor and you are practically sitting on the ground !

You can drift there no doubt but then you;ll be the slow.... My best lap time so far is 47 seconds which is respectfull time . There are too many people who are very very slow and sometime you get stuck behind them and sometimes the cars are either not fully charged due to the place being very busy and sometimes they are charged but the tires are cold so it takes 3-4 laps to warm them up, and sometimes you get lucky and get a fully carged kart with warm tires

Anyway lets set something up...

P.S. Nick i still want that gauge pod !

 

I so want to do this.. so let me know when you guys want to go

 

Mac, lets start this up as the next meet for us... get justin and everyone in on this... if anything, we will talk about it at the willowbrook meet

 

v17 is pretty cool.. they aren't THAT fast.. as said above 30mph tops. very fun though and they make it competitive because they print out sheets that give you your previous lap times and you can compare. and they have a billboard of that day's or months fastest times with names and stuff, so it's cool.

expensive though. it's $20 to become a member, then it's like 19 bucks PER race. a race is about 7-8 laps depending on how quick you are. so just a heads up, if you're going there as a non-member and going to do a few races plan on spending like 80 bucks or so.

 

oh yeah and if you got your own helmet, BRING IT.

or else you gotta wear their helmets, which have been sweated in for the last year since they've been opened. LOL
