Alright, kiddies. I finally sucked it up and went to Autobahn Karting yesterday for the 98Rock fundraiser, just to see what it was like. I wont lie, I didn't have high hopes, since the indoor electric joint I went to in Buffalo was tiny and had almost no track width to actually do perform any form of racecraft.
That being said, I think Autobahn has plenty of room in some areas of the track that are perfect to do some racecraft (although not nearly as much as Summit Point, obviously), and I was completely satisfied. Their prices are reasonable, albeit not as good for overall track time as Summit.
I was disappointed I didnt "win" my race (winner is determined by a single fastest lap...which is kinda silly), which was confusing since I was clearly faster overall than everyone out there. But then I looked at the my average lap times, and I was a full second FASTER on average than that guy. So, shocker, being consistent is better than being fast for one lap :-p
The long and short, considering it's a short haul away from our bi-weekly meeting point, I think we are fools for not meeting there more often for a few friendly races, and we need to plan a Saturday to meet up there. Who's with me for the next Saturday meet?
