Here is a rundown of what Velocity 17 has to offer,
For the Go-karts you pay a membership fee of $20, with it you get a member card with your picture and barcode that you reload for races, also a helmet sock. Every race is $18.50. So your first time expect to spend about $40. You get 6 race laps and 2 warm up laps. Before you race they give you a breifing in a room basicly telling you what all the flags mean, safety and what not. After that you go back out to the track and get ready. Put on a helmet(motorcycle style with visor) and neck brace. The track is pretty technical, but also has a nice straight with a couple banked turns to get up some speed. There are several nice passing spots in the hair pins but also in a few of the turns. This was the first go-kart track I've gone to where you have to use the brakes. Jamin on the brakes going into a turn you can lock up the rears and slide the car around with the right amount of throttle, too much you'll go spinning(easy way to pass people). Track is a bit bouncy but that adds to the fun, smooth track would be too boring IMO, nothing that throws you around terribly but you do get the feel of actually going fast. Chatting with one of the crew members they said the karts can hit about 60MPH(not bad for electric), however public races they are limited(I'd say the max you get is about 30-35MPH). He said league races will probably start in about a month and they will run the cars 100%.

Also there is a F1 simulator, I didn't do it but from the looks of it if anyone did the Nascar experience at the Palisades center, it looks pretty close to the same thing just with F1 cars. This cost about $9 for a run

They have an F-18 simulator, supposidly the same the Canadian airforce uses to train their piolts. Next time I'm there I'm definatly hitting this one up looks like fun. This was $20

Finally there is a police(or military forgot which) weapon simulator. I didn't see it simply because I didn't want to tempt myself seeing as it cost $50.

The cafe is really nice, gives you a nice view of the track.

 

Cool maybe Ill come

 

There

 

That place seems pretty cool, I pass by it all the time, but never been there.

 

i don't have any mods done for my car yet, but i want to check out what can be done to my 07 TYPE S, i will be there...

 

Thats why I started goin to the meets. you can find out what things you can do and what not to do, and how to do them.

 

Like Sunny said come by you can always learn allot from the other people that have the same car as you. Come check us out that day. It will be fun.

 

I'm throwing an e-mail out to other people if they want to go, but I won't be able to show up sadly.

 

Hi guys,
What exactly is this place??? an amusement park?? or car shop??

I'm interested but is it a meet, or what? Can anyone explain.

And what is happening there on that day?? Thanks

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I live 2 minutes away and i wanna go SOOOOO badly but unfortunatley i am having surgery on that day this just pissed me off....
Oh Well there will be other meets... i guess that it's a good day to have surgery on 7/7/07 u cant get luckier than that!!

 

It's a indoor gocart center, with a F1 racing simulator. The go-carts go as fast as 35mph, so come out and enjoy yourself with Visionary Styles.
