Is that for real, $15.00 per race? That's really expensive.

[Administrator]

The normal race is $19. They are giving us a discount on it.

These carts go 45 mph. They aren't little kiddy ones.

[brisk_tea]

OK, so getting license, it's one free, then $19 per person after that?

sounds good.

No purchase the license on the PennMustangs Day and you get 2 free races. Plus one free race in the month of your birthday.

If you use up the 2 free races, it is $15.00 per race for the rest of that event. If you come back at another time, it is $19.00 per race. If you purchase the membership at another time, it is $30.00 and you only get 1 free race.

[brisk_tea]

sounds even better, thanks.

[Red Arrow 2010]

Yeah, that's a better deal.

Here are some pictures when i raced Karts. The Yellow one was my first, the red and black one are the same kart, just different color bodies on it. The two pictures without the body on it, was at Motorama last year at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. Indoor event, it was pretty awesome. I mainly race on dirt oval tracks. Travel all in Pa for different events. Hope you guys like the pictures. I'm looking forward to getting back into a kart, or atleast the little kiddie karts from what i used to race .

Each race is about 12-13 laps depending on how fast you are. I believe the total time runs 8+ minutes. It is a great thing to do while the stangs are away or undriveable.

$15 is per race. You can do one race or do ten races. It is entirely up to you.

The place opens at 12. They said the normal time for people to start coming in is around 2-2:30pm. So we should pretty much have the place to ourselves. We do have a private room right along the track that is just for our group.

Just asking because above it stated "The track will be available to adults only" so if its not a private rental, then the jr karts should be running too.. Just wanted to know because my son enjoys running up there too.. and i dont want to leave him out if i dont have too..

The prices Ric received were for adults only. You would have to call or talk to the LVGP staff about junior carts. If there are only one or two junior people there, they may not even run them.
