Fun night yesterday

On the way to karting, an 06 350 Z and I were pacing each other on 59, there was traffic so I didnt really get into it. Mid way a white M3 decides he wants in on the fun so he speeds up but unexpectedly just gives up. Karting was a lot of fun. It was my first time but I am definitely going back. The place is called World Kart @ 6111 Skyline Drive behind Ferrari of Houston. Its indoors and they are open till midnights on weekends. Its 20 bucks (10 for member) per 12 minute race or 40 bucks all you can race for members. Membership is only 10 bucks in March for 1 year. I had decent lap times but got a nice burn on my elbow by accidently brushing against the motor. Then my friend bumped me in one of the corners and I actually went under the railaing and got a bunch of cuts on my hand. On the way back at 3Am I was going around 100mph on an empty 59 and an accord started to pace me. I was doing 130 pretty soon but he was keeping up with me and then started to pull on me pretty good after 135. I was surprised, but as he pulled past I saw his plates said " GOT PSI " which explained why. Anyone know about this late model v6 accord coupe?? Would have liked to know how much he was boostin. Not bad at all for a fwd. O well, that was officially my first race in the G and I guess its 0-1 lol. Moments like that almost make me pull the trigger on FI....

Karting sounds cool... I'd probably be lurking around the Ferrari Dealer though! Hehehe...
It was a white Z. I know what you mean about the Ferraris, after karting I drove by there and saw some nice race modena 360s ( challenge stradale spec?) parked out back. It was beautiful....

Sounds like a good place to have a meet for just g35 folks and get some karting action.

Let me know. All I need to do is scope it out and see if it is safe for me to do it.

Nope, its a late model coupe, the one before the current one. Dark blue, or Black, hyperwhite head lamps.

I've heard about that kart place. It sounds awesome but I never been there. You don't see go-kart places much anymore - at least I don't. As a teenager, I used to go to one on Hempstead Hwy, if I remember right. It was kind of ghetto but had an awesome tight track and was cheap.
