Hot Laps at [Andretti Indoor Karting Katy]
This is one of the older Andretti locations and it shows, they’re choked in capacity with their track setups but they also aren’t organized well. Fortunately their main track for adult races is actually really fun to hot lap and was a pleasant surprise in terms of technicality, the ceiling for fun is there but only in the perfect circumstances (this video was pretty close). A lot of the time races are run on half speed if the group causes too many incidents which is understandable but incredibly infuriating to deal with. Also notable is the boost available on these karts is advertised as “once per lap” but is only around every 32 seconds, which when laps are around the high 30s to low 31s doesn’t work too well. A 30.993 puts us around a tenth and a half off the record, which for five sessions is pretty good if I say so myself… I can’t nail the upstairs corners consistently so I think that’s where we’ll find our time. Andretti seems to have decent options for passes, so will definitely be back to try some more albeit 1000% on weekdays exclusively while avoiding paying full price to race here at all costs.
