I just tried it today a few hours, ago, sooo much fun, I got first place and my best lap was 25.346, not too bad for my first try, but I hope I can go again soon
I bet with COVID its very difficult for them to operate efficiently, I want to try one of their newer locations, as that location had a lot of issues with the karts. I imagine its not easy to keep them all at 100 percent 100 percent of the time, but some of them had serious alignment issues and one had a chain come off mid race
Hi! I went at to one in Dulles Virginia (even tho I live in Maryland because it was a bit closer) for my birthday and it was so fun! Ur good at driving go karts Ngl, do u have any tips? Since I’m going again for my cousin’s birthday... he got the fastest time and beating me by 0.005 of a second exactly.
start slower (not too slow in racing environment of course) and with each lap, increase your speed. As you do this you will find out how fast you can take certain corners. You may find that trying to drive faster will actually hurt your lap times depending on how tight the course is
TripTheRoad the first of three rounds I’ve started slow and eventually started getting faster but I’ve done research and found out that drifting was bad... I’m going again for my cousins b day in 2 days wish me luck
@@swagmzlf yeah drifting usually causes you to lose momentum around the turns which translates to longer lap times (momentum gets lost in the friction caused by skidding and acceleration is required to regain that energy). This isn't always necessarily the case in all forms of racing, but with these karts which can only reach about 40 mph or so with their smaller electric motor, drifting usually translates to wasted energy
It's fun but the karts were in bad shape, we had one or two break down on us during our visit, but I think they gave us a 4th run for free because of the technical issues. I still had fun either way as there is enough speed that you have to find a line, and it's a lot more physically demanding than it looks on video, you will leave tired and a little sore! I will probably do it again but it is a little too pricey to go every single weekend.
This place is a blast. We went together for a team building event.
I need to go back!
I am going to compete with my grandson he is 13 🤣🏎️🏁 we are going to the one in Lemoyne Pennsylvania 🎉😁
Cool video, I didn't know there was an indoor cart track in Jessup! The narration adds a lot to the video, I haven't seen that done before, nice work!
Thanks! I think Maryland has two total, but if you count the one in Dulles VA, there are 3 within approx an hour or so of the DC-Baltimore area
@@triptheroad do you know how bad the traffic is around white marsh
@@tech-hilfeportal6611 depends on the time of day, I've found it's usually busy but never seen it backed up
@@triptheroad thanks for the advice
Iam going here and I wanted to check it out and luckily I saw this which is the exact place!
Wow! That looks like fun. I want to try it for my 19th birthday
Just turned 20 this month but yeah its really fun but expensive. Make a reservation it took like 5 hours for our walk in 😂
At least I was the coolest during these races (Forever Drift King/Maybe ChrisFix)
It's way faster than it looks on camera
Have you been to white marsh?
For the first race i drove in the cart you used.
Thx for the heart
No way that was 50mph
That's what I was thinking. I feel like the 35mph karts at Andretti's were faster than this. Maybe the camera makes it look slower, but hard to tell.

I got 18.375 on the le man's track, check the best of last week, im number 13
I just went to the same place recently, man the wait time sucked.

@@triptheroad Ik COVID really messed up everything, but there was like 30 people in the building and the wait time was like we had 200 lol
yea i live really close to it but im not 16 yet ;(
This place is amazing I went yesterday and going again today and got 1st place twice and my first race was 4th place, my fastest lap was 20,680

I went there in Dulles and got a 19.763 second lap time
Yes Maryland oooo
I'm from md
this guy kinda wack i race pro league at autobahn they dont go 50mph
Yeah their marketing is pretty misleading, I think the karts can reach that on a large straight but the tracks obviously don't allow for that
We go faster than that at a trampoline park
try no brakes!
That’s the most boring and lamest track ever

This track is 1 hour and a half from where I live, and I was planing on visiting. But after watching this video it doesn’t look worthy
With the brake problems I find that on the tracks (mainly Le Mans) it’s easier to just ease into the turns if possible and brake only if needed.
yeah the brakes are definitely unpredictable on these karts, you get used to one kart and then get assigned another
