It isn’t Christmas break until we hit up the Go Kart race track for a mini Grand Prix. 5 minutes of time trials to warm up on the track, which determines our position in the race itself. I won Pol position with the tightest lap, and then I proceeded to maintain the lead, and lap just about everyone during the 20 minutes of our race. I took the training I had with Karbon during our race day at the outdoor track ten years ago, and applied those skills here to do some serious damage. Though I did not ultimately wind up with THE best lap time, I was consistently fast and never gave up my #1 position. A holiday tradition we’ve had for nearly a decade now. Mind you the Covid shut down kept us away in 2020 & 2021, and a timing schedule conflict interrupted 2022, it’s been a great family outing. I think my being heavier helped with traction. Also racing smarter, and judicious use of the breaks on the hair pins and maintaining a decent line through the track helped me out this time. I am by no means an expert, nor much of a racer, but I pulled out the WIN this time around. Yeah – buddy!

This has to be one of the most amazing corporate team building activities that I have ever done. This place is just amazing. The driving instruction is top notch and the track driving coaches are very well trained. Thanks to them, this noob can now successfully drive a stick shift from a standing start. How awesome is that.

The facilities are clean and bright, not to mention brand spanking new. The gear is super comfortable. The cars themselves are 1000 lbs and 170 horsepower. They top out at 130 km and feel as though they are welded to the track. Superb.

I can’t say enough good things about this place, their team of pit crew techs and all of the phenomenal instructors. This place kicks ass and takes names.

I suggest you check it out if you get the chance. I’m still grinning.
