So is this deal worth it or not? How is the F440 track and how fun is it?

It's really built for racing carts. You'll spend about 90% of your lap cruising at full throttle in their public carts.

lol, beat me to it. Was gonna post this myself.
Personally, I don't like F440 though, only cause whoever was at the front desk
had an asshole attitude that one (and only) time I went with my friends, using
an entertainment booklet coupon.

F440 is wayyy better than TBC.
Last time I was at TBC, i got 3 minutes of racing an the rest was yellow light. I felt so ripped off, even with the groupon.
F440 is alot wider, the track is longer, and racing in the rain is friggen fun.

We should set up a TBC Revscene meet for people who still have too many coupons.

Also this isnt that great of a deal because F440 gives you a 50% off your next race after the first race (on the back of the receipt) so every race after your first one would be 50% off.

To drive the fast cars don't you have to have completed a certain time in their regular cars?

Is it still like that now? So you could go for a 10min and get 50% off your next purchase?

F440 sucks for rentals. Either you race wheel to wheel with thier slow-as-fuck karts, or you drive one of the FAST karts BY YOURSELF.
If you have your own kart, then F440 is fun. If you are a renter - TBC is the way to go for fun. I'm sorry you got screwed with the yellow light.. that does happen when there are a lot of rookies/morons racing.
That's why I prefer racing the 1 hr enduros.

The carts you start off with isn't that fun at F440. But once you upgrade, it gets a lot better!

why is that a sigh? that's awesomeness. Go on a weekday during midterm period for good fun.
I wonder if I can give them 3 coupons (6 heats) and register that as an enduro. Less likelihood of running with morons/noobs

I don't know about modifying your deal, Jenson, but StealTheDeal does have a new referral program that's pretty sweet. Just get friends signed up under their StealSquad and make money on their sales. It's too sweet. I think you're the only other guy on here who knows about StealTheDeal.com. Nice.

I went to F440 in the rain one time. It was hella fun. Sliding around corners in slick tires. =D
