You do realize that doing something CONstructive, as opposed to DEstructive, will change people's opinion of you, and a fundamental level, right?

technically not jacking, since its ON topic.

Funnest track I ever hit was in Hockenheim, Germany. It was an indoor track, but it had a ****-ton of room, FAST karts (that you cud rent), and a giant, airplane-terminal-like board that showed the top 25 lap times, who ran them, and when. If you were a registered driver, at the track, and posted a hot, top-25 lap, it whent on teh board until someone bumped you down. Trac was in an old manufacturing warehouse, so there was lots of room. Everything except a thin penisula of floor space where all admin stuff and parked karts were kept had been gutted. Overall the track was about a klick-and-a-half in total length; just under a mile, so you had room to run. And, unlike putdoor tracks, being indoor, it was year-round. And, due to the layout, you cud see ALL the action from the lounge, on the second floor, at the end of the admin penisula

Biggest thing, IMHO, is space. To do it indoors you'll need to find a BIGASS'D warehouse. The BIGGEST you can get yor grubby mitts on, in your area
