Here is the track layout we will be building. With the cold temps we are looking to start building out the track next week.
The track is going to be 30′ wide and close to .7 miles long for the long loop. Plenty of track to get shifter and Tag karts out and stretch their legs.It has been interesting but we have karts and an ice track up and running. Stop by if you are in the Aspen/Carbondale area and give driving on ice a go. Give us a call if you have any questions 970-404-0633
The track is dialed in and fast and flowing with a few tight corners thrown in to keep it interesting. Lap times around the 7/10ths of a mile track with a 206 are 70-80 seconds. Top speed down the straight is 50mph, really gets your heart going throwing the kart sideways into the corner at those speeds.
Everyone at GJMS was a great help getting us a killer rental fleet of karts.
Now Cory, are you keeping those karts under 10 mph with a 50 mph straight and those tires on there? :ambulance
We are not keeping the karts under 10mph. When taking out a rental we space out the karters. You are driving against just yourself and the track not not racing each other.

It is so much fun. No races this year. Did not feel we had the time to put together a quality event. Next year for sure.
We are looking into opening the track up to owners at some point this year. I will let you guys know when those days are.
Just thought I would give you guys an update on kart owners using the ice track. We will allow owners to bring their own karts and tires. I recommend calling first (970)404-0633 we have been busy and getting track time could be difficult. The daily rate is $100 to bring out your kart. The price is significantly higher then a track day at asphalt tracks due to the excessive wear on the ice and work it takes to keep the track in useable condition.
Even if you do not bring your own kart out, you guys should come take some laps in our 206 karts. $40 for a 10 minute session or $75 for 2 10 minute sessions.
The local TV station Aspen 82 came out and put a short little video together to give you an idea of what we have going on here. click on the image below
