I found the website for Adam's Kart Track online when I was doing some research on stuff to do in Riverside. They do go-kart racing there (theirs are gas powered, not the weak electric ones!), timed races, and drifting. So last night I "dragged" one of my friends over there for the Thursday Night Drift. I say that I dragged him because he's into cars and racing, but we really didn't know what we were getting into and didn't know how long we would stay. Anyway, we got there and it was AMAZING! If you've ever seen the movie Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, then you have an idea what this is about. It's cars driving on the go-kart track and sliding around the turns on purpose.
Some of the drivers were absolutely amazing, while others needed some work. This is because anyone can enter their car for $20 for an hour. It only works if you have a car that is rear wheel drive, and most of the cars there were Nissans. There was a Dodge Viper Mopar, Toyota Supra and some other pretty impressive cars there, too.
If driving doesn't appeal to you, you can also pay $10 for a ride along. Next time we go we're gonna try that, so I'll comment on how that goes later.
For the most part just watching was pretty spectacular and for $3 per person you really can't beat the price. They have good music, food, and the announcer is pretty entertaining. This is probably not the best outing for little kids though. They had an eating contest and some other contests, but those were geared towards an older crowd.
Well, we are definitely going back and when we do we're going to try a ride along, so I'll let you know how that goes!
