i worked at a go kart track between graduating high school and starting college. NEVER RIDE GO KARTS

1. safety regulations are ignored if not actively circumvented. the engines were limited from the factory and we'd modify them to make them dangerously fast
2. drunk driving is allowed if not actively encouraged. my place sold a $20 upgrade to our VIP bar for racers before/between races
3. the workers don't give a shit about your safety. i did at first before the asshole kids, teens, and parents broke my spirit
4. the safety rails and barriers are not professionally designed such are likely to injure you in a crash
5. the track isn't properly designed either so following the speed limit can still result in crashes
6. your tires WILL be bald
7. we averaged 2 injuries a day that required an ambulance on scene
