Honestly, like most people, I haven't gone go-karting in years. But I find it to be one of those…read morefun to go back to experiences. Auscarts makes it fun for both adults, and kids.
Prices are better Sunday & Monday, with $40 for 40 laps. This causes Sunday's to be the packed time. So, if you plan on taking advantage of that Sunday price, you should book ahead. We had come in around 3:30 pm, and the guy behind the desk explained to us that they were all booked up, so our options were to come back at 6 p.m., or just come back another week. We made up our minds about an hour later and opted to call them and come back at 6 p.m.
A safety briefing, hair net and fitting helmet later, you get set in your go kart on the track. They help you get fitted in, with buckles, I ended up needing a tighter fitting seat.
It's fun, after a little while, I admit, I was kinda over it. My friend was getting dizzy from the fumes, and if you have motion sickness, maybe watch out as this track is very curvy. I'm not the competitive type at all and can't take these racing adrenaline junkies who bump into you to get ahead, that's just not necessary. Either way, it was a good different way to spend my Sunday. You drive on and keep notice of the lights, and be a courteous driver. When someone spins out, to prevent any accidents, the lights go amber and you are supposed to drive slower. Green means go, and red you only see if something serious has happened.
Ah and they breathalyze everyone before you go on the track. No pre-gaming allowed guys.
When you are all finished up, you can get a print out of your stats and how you did.
Protip: come up with a good racing driver name, it helps keep things interesting.
