Someone told me that there was a new karting place in Worcester. Similar to F1 Boston only cheaper.

I think there's also a new place down in Foxboro, somewhere around Gillette stadium. Janus - if you decide to go, let me know. I'd go with (as long as you din't mind me inviting myself ;-)

Dean, hell yeah! Let's go! Chris told me it is this place...

Looks like they have DE classes for $99 and Saturday specials where you race for five freaking hours also for just $99. Those are the best prices I've seen so far. I just got off the phone from inviting my bud from Jersey. When he gets the voicemail, he'll flip. Weeee!

I'm not around this weekend (CA for MotoGP @ Laguna Seca!). I think the rest of July is open with the exception of the next AX event. I think most of August is pretty open as well.

Hey, it turns out the RacingAmerica.com place in Foxboro is strictly indoor racing. Yucko. But there is another place in East Bridgewater that has an outdoor road course...

Just in case there's someone in the Philly area that's looking for a shifter kart I have a 125CC (TM engine) in a top kart chassis that's just using up space in my basement. I'd love to sell it and buy a motorcycle. If you're interested drop my a line.......

TAG is a good place to start (Touch and Go) basicly it has an electric starter on board. It is the way all karts are going. I started out with a KT100 kart becuase lots of guys run them in my area. But I cant wait to get a tag kart.
