I should also note that I am in no way trying to bash Melrose Park Grand Prix - if you've never been indoor karting, by all means - try out MPGP but please also try out Chicago Indoor Racing (either Buffalo Grove or Addison) and judge for yourselves.
I go often enough that if I had to choose it would be CIR hands down.
I'm just thinking that most of you have not gone kart racing before, any exposure to this great sport is good. Try it out!
Here are pics from Melrose Park Grand Prix - these were taken just before they opened. We were invited to 'try it out' before they opened to the general public:

Note the 20 pound propane tanks in pics #7 and 8. personally i do not like the idea of one being ruptured by a hard side hit and they could at least have used a steel braided line from the tank to the engine.
