$ wise, its ok and sounds a good deal. just 1 thing to watch out is that the brakes on these karts are not good enough for high bph. is it poss to try a course if ok to join member, then the cost can be subtracted. also do we need to commit to a min duration of memberhsip so if I get bored after 3-4 months, then I can just stop paying the monthly fees w/o penalty?

I just called them up and its more complicated than i thought. The things that i mentioned above is only if you have your own kart?!

And that guy said some bullshit about the membership fees they refering, he saying the membership fees (I dunno how much), is only for the safety tutorial,
and you need to pay everytime you play, i asked him wht makes the membership special compare to the normal, and he just said something that i dun understand.

I think i will go there to check out on Sunday.

I think we should just go there to try a couple of sessions on the 200cc honda, cost 210 first time + 110 subsequent during the week. it opens till 10 but the guy said best to get there by 8.

he said its average lap time is about 1m, if the track is small, might be not worth bothering, just go to the 1 in macau.
