No worries!

It's just a question of how much of a winner you're going to be. And you will get LIFE EXPERIENCE. How are you going to get that at home?
"Winter" Go-Kart Series Continues February 12th at 6:30PM at Grandprix Kartways at Downsview
Last year we had Karts during the SuperBowl. This year we talked to the NFL and they . . . laughed at us. So the SuperBowl will be on Feb 5 and Karts on 12th. Who says we don't have clout? The 2012 Championship is comprised of 5 4 3 2dates (click here for details) and you are welcome to attend as many of the dates as you'd like. Of course, for those with a competitive streak, the more you attend the closer you will be to challenging for the title. What else do you have to do on a Sunday evening? Just saying.
Track Location can be found on the Grandprix site (www.gpkartways.com)

Kart Information
The general public get to enjoy a leisurely drive around the GPK track in karts set to speed 2. Our series, however, will be using karts set to speed 1. That's right folks; this is usually only reserved for GPK's own racing league (and cool car clubs like ours) and it’s been said that karts set to speed 1 provide an advantage worth about 1.5 seconds a lap. The karts feel faster and, if we're honest, it will be a lot more fun to slide around the outside of some poor, unsuspecting competitor.
