"High Level" Karting?
 
I'm sure most of us have done "family" go-karts and what not over the years. I know I have and really enjoyed it. For a portion of my buddies bachelor party weekend we went to the Lehigh Valley Grand Prix in Allentown, PA - link here:

What an incredible time. For those who have not tried faster karts like this, I 100% recommend you try it! My buddy karts professionally and said LVGP is actually a great place to go and learn as well. Here's a video I took using my GoPro Hero 2, mounted on my helmet. I used a post production image stabilizer to get rid of some shake:

You don't have to watch the full video, but I just wanted those who have never done this before to check it out. There seem to be 4 "higher level" karting locations in the general area for those interested:

NJMP in Millville, NJ: http://www.njmp.com/racing/karting/a...ew-jersey.html

Arnolds in Phoenixville, PA: http://arnoldsfamilyfuncenter.com/

Mid Atlantic Grand Prix in New Castle, DE: http://www.midatlanticgp.com/

I was at the Mid-atlantic gran prix in DE this past January for part of my brother's bachelor party. A lot of fun. You get detailed print-outs of every lap which is fun to compare.

Seems similar to Velocity 17 in Maywood, where our February meet was.
