| F440 Karting
Just a heads up if you have not trien go karting at F440 in Tsawwassen.
They are going to shut down for good in four months.
Went there Wednesday night and had a blast. I would definitely recommend you bring your own helmet like we did.
You do NOT want to put on one of their helmets

I heard that too. They are keeping the water slides and building a mall around it like West Edmonton Mall or something like that and thus that means F440 has to go.

No way? They are going under? That totally sucks...
I know their karts are a little tired, but the course is fun and grip levels high. Being outdoor is a major bonus as well. As good as TBC is, I really like F440 a little more.

Not going under, but they are re-delveloping the area and they decided to keep the waterslides.

Outdoor tracks > Indoor tracks.
Sad to see F440 go. Many of my first motorsports memories were made there.

It was great, though TBC is definitely cleaner by a long shot.

So their "slower" carts are their realy old carts.

Time to go electric. I used the electric karts at an indoor place in Vegas and they were awesome. With electric there is no such thing as fast or slow karts. they also had a great timing system. Got a print out of everyone's lap times at the end and you could see your lap times as you went by the start finish on a big screen after every lap.

All I remember about karting at F440 is that you could full throttle all but maybe one corner in their karts. Maybe the karts got faster since I last went, which is around 10 years ago. The track was really built for the bigger cars & racing karts.
