Kart racing in South Bay (LA)?

I wanna race some karts with some friends where do we go? I don't want to go to a Malibu grand prix kind of place, I want some European style fast karts.

Cheers,
Philip

Thank you for visiting the internet home of the Jim Hall Kart Racing School, the longest-running kart racing school in America at the only paved beachside road course in America. Experience all the adrenaline of wheel-to-wheel racing condensed into 160-lb. hyper-performing sprint or shifter karts. Learn to race under the sun on the beautiful Southern California coast.

Since 1982, we've been teaching aspiring racers, recreational thrill-seekers and corporate groups the skills and focus that define the world's best racers. In fact, virtually 100% of the world's top Formula One, Champ Car and Sports Car drivers – from Andretti to Schumacher to Unser – began in karts. Karting is simply the ultimate teaching tool, and quite possibly the ultimate thrill. Come in and see why.

With that lack of patience, you won't do well in karting. It takes about one season of racing to get near the front assuming you have the money to be fast. Up to that point, save your money and drive. But you will ned plenty of seat time. I raced 'em for 30 years and what I came away with is the knowledge that there are more bad days in racing than good ones. All, but the consistant winners would agree.

i'm not trying to be a kart racer, i'm looking for a track where my friends and I can race for one day and have some fun.

and the "dammit people c'mon" was my way of saying "bump".

EDIT: when i was in europe there were tracks that i could go to and race for an hour or two. the karts were reasonably fast, i always had a good time. i was hoping some of the southern cal natives could give me leads to any tracks that have this kind of service here.
