I was thinking this might be part of the appeal, but if it's not cheap then why do it? I figure it's cheaper than tracking a car so it is comparatively cheaper i hope. Not only that i'm tired of paying 5 bucks a round at the local go-kart/mini-golf place and having a little kid t-bone me in the corner before the end.
