Default dromo one: indoor kart racing

I heard about this place in Orange (Southern California) called Dromo One from a coworker who went this past weekend. Apparently its an indoor kart racing place. Has anyone here been? Just wondering if anyone out there had any experiences to share.

its pretty fun, but kinda expensive ($20) for about 15 mins, you go pretty fast, but you need to control it from spinning out.

Yeah, it's kinda expensive, but it's VERY fun. We used to have Hybrid meets there. I haven't been on the hybrid board for a few months, so I don't know if they still meet there, but it was a great place for a meet.

I just went last weekend. I suck! The cars sound really cool and almost F1 one like (hey, atleast I think so when Im close to top speed at the straight-away). Except for when I got hit relly hard and the engine started putting really loudly through out the whole race. But drifting is a no-no. It slows you down A LOT!! But yes, very fun indeed.

Fun? Are you guys kidding? I love that place!!!
I think I'm there almost once a week! SHhhh, Don't tell my wife!!
It's the best/most fun $20 racing experience you can have!
In fact, I'll be there tomorrow night for the "backwards racing" event.
They run the track in reverse, not the karts!

Major Havoc, what color is your S2000? I'm trying to get to know all of the S2000 owners in my area.

VTEC Racer, Are you the Blk. S2000 that I see around Marina Hills?
As far as my S2000, I've got Priceline and a few dealers working on finding me a Silver/Red at MSRP! So, I don't have one YET !!!

Anyone been to Stefan Johanssen's (sp) indoor kart track in Indianapolis?

Lots of fun for a day without the big investment. Good place for a S2K meet methinks, hey Greg...

There is a very similar sounding place in the HUGE-ASS mall in Edomonton, Canada (eh). It cost $14 (us) to ride for 10 minutes, but........ man what a freaking workout!!! the course took about 35 seconds and had at least 15 turns! Steering was quick, carts were quick, but brutal on your arms (i am a pussy).
