Go Kart @ Shah Alam

During the X'mas gathering in my uncle's place, my cousin, Terence, suddenly popped up with an idea...... "Why don't we go play Go Kart now? There is a new go kart arena near our house. It opens until 10pm." It was 9pm. Without second thought, we all said HELL YEAH!!

Come to think of it, it's been many years since I played go kart. The last time that I went for go karting was during a BMW 3 series launch exhibition in Sepang F1 Circuit... it was like probably 10 years ago!!

The Go Kart in Shah Alam (forgot the name of the place already) was 15 minutes drive from my uncle's place. The go kart track was fairly big, measured about 1.1 km and the difficulty of the track can be compared to a sized down version F1 track. There are several challenging turnings and also 2 hair pins junction in the track itself (cannot understand?? shesh... I should take a snap shot of the track layout...)
Before taking off for the 10 minutes ride!!

Noticed the white thingey on our head...?? the go kart facilitator provides each of us a disposable hair net for hygiene purposes. I did not know that hair net also comes in disposable type!! I was so sampat to bring back one as souvenir *sweat* The Go karters Ultraman pipipipiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....

Ted on the GO!! (why the photographer not taking pictures of me T_T)

Never underestimate the speed of the small kart!! We were actually driving up to 60-70 km/hr on the track itself. It was definitely 1000000000000000000 zillion times faster than the Genting Go Kart!! It's fast enough to put ourself into self spins if we lost maneuver of the karts (shamed to say that I actually went into a wild spin on track, as I was too excited and lost control after taking over Alyson on the track! Syoknyaaaaaa)

After one session, we decided to go for another round. It was really exhilirating and addictive I must say. But only five of us continued to race in the following session. The girls and Calvin stay behind to watch us. So they were kinda bored while waiting and decided to ride on the facilitator's motorbike!! Wonder why Alyson so happy on the bike (no motorbike in Australia? =_=")


Oh yeah, did I mention that two rounds of Go Karts only cost us RM65?

Definitely will be back for more *smile*
