I took a few laps last week at a go kart track and found the experience rather fun. I raced go karts for more than a decade 6+ decades back. I have driven other indoor and outdoor karts occasionally over the years. Thus experience is the best I have enjoyed since the early days.
The track is approx 30? miles north of Tampa on I75 exit #314 in a town called Bushnell. Track is 1/4 mile west of I75, on north side.
Karts are well set up 4 stroke 9? hp B&S, full slicks, easy to steer (not a lot of caster) handle well, I'm a big guy and seats are fine, with full harness, pedals adjust, they have helmets which are required. Nice track, road race, banked turn, hair pin, Esses, straights, overpass, rumble strips. These are real race karts by Margay, who built my last kart in college, Pre SAE days.
Check their schedule before arrival, they favor afternoon/evening hours. Prices start at $30/10 mins (8? laps), for those over 65 on Fri afternoons its $20, more time segments get cheaper prices. No racing in the rain.
It was a lot of fun. I will return. I highly recommend if ever passing by.
