10 Racers can Race at the same time.
Yes, but MB2 also provides helmets for those of you who don't have their own.
The racing is based on lap times. So, the main thing to remember is not to slide the kart. When you are sliding around, you are losing time. It is all about keeping your momentum up. Try not to bump or tangle with other drivers, this does nothing but slow you down, ruin your momentum & your lap time. Make wide
turns, starting from the outside on entry & tight to the center of the apex of the corner. Keep the flow wide on exit. Also, when braking, be careful not to apply too much brake or the Kart may slide out & once again ruin your momentum. So now go out & put your skills to the test & lay down the fastest lap time you can. Good Luck!
No, but we are only one block away from it. The Cascades Business Park is located where the California Aqueduct is visible traveling over the hill, on the Newhall pass, just prior to the Interstate 5 & 14 split off.
Apex - The exact center of the turn.
