There are a few places around the southern end of the Bay where one can run karts wheel-to-wheel. Most of them are "arrive and drive" deals, where you show up with nothing but a fistful of money, and they provide the suit/helmet/kart/everything. I am considering going driving at one this weekend some time, and was wondering which one you guys prefer, and why?
The only two facilities that I can recall of the top of my head are Le Mans Karting in Fremont, and Speedring down in Santa Clara. I've actually been to Le Mans Karting, but did not drive. How does Speedring compare, and are there similar places around this area? Thanks! --DD |

Speedring does have some karts with, erm, "wide" seats. I have a buddy who's built like a fireplug (not as tall as you, but probably wider) who fits. The bigger issue are the 4'11" 90lb Chinese women that frequent the place (and kill everyone else).
