Agree I doubt you suck lol. Indoor electric is on one end of the spectrum and on the other is outdoor karting in a TAG - in my limited experience the electric indoors mostly frustrate me lol and the outdoor karts feel the most like our cars do. It's a HUGE pity Moran closed, that was one of the best reasons to live in SoCal ! Kart Factory was a great compromise too bad they died too

So Kaz are you karting with us?

Agree completely with what Kaz said about there being no comparison between indoor karting vs outdoor karting. Indoor karting is more like a quick and easy racing fix.

Do you offer alignment services? I'd be interested in bringing in my Atom for some suspension stuff sometime (heim joint rod end replacements, inverting my coilovers, corner weighing, alignment).

Yes, We do all of the above. We have all of the necessary equipment to perform these services. plus, I come from a heavy suspension background (Guldstrand). It should be nothing that we cant handle. You can call and talk to Kris for a quote and appointment. (562)694-2226

Can we also do the brake pedal or gas pedal adjustment ('05 cars only) so the heel toe shifting is more doable? Quite possibly SS braided line installs too!
Thanks

Prob. can do heel/toe adjustment, but SS lines would be a pretty big job that may require a lift...

SS lines in the front require clam removal, definitely not a simple mod.
