WELCOME
WELCOME BACK TO GREAT DAY AT NINE A. AND TODAY WE ARE LIVING
LIFE IN THE FAST LANE OUT TO OUR
EVIL. WE LOVE THEM. ALL RIGHT,
SO THIS IS ALL. THANKS TO
AUDREY RUSSO. SHE'S CHECKING OUT
MONZA GO KARTS AT FOX WOODS
TODAY. AUDREY HOW FAST DO THOSE
THINGS GO? THEY GO A LOT FASTER
THAN I WAS EXPECTING TO. I PUT
MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND IT WAS
LIKE, AND I WAS LIKE, OH, BUT
THOSE ARE ALL THE YOU KNOW,
WONDERFUL SOUNDS THAT YOU HEAR
AT A PLACE LIKE A GO KARTING
TRACK. UM I'M JOINED NOW BY
MARTY TYRELL. HE IS THE OWNER,
ONE OF THE CO OWNERS OF MONZA
WORLD CLASS GO KARTING AND OKAY,
LEGALLY, HOW FAST DO THESE GO?
WELL, THE CARDS CAPABLE OF DOING
40 MILES AN HOUR, BUT WE HAVE A
LOT OF SPEED CONTROL SO WE CAN
SET IT TO DIFFERENT SETTINGS FOR
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CUSTOMERS,
DEPENDING ON THEIR SKILL, LEVEL
AND AGE AND SO FORTH, AND SO
JUST TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THIS TRACK. WELL WE'VE GOT ABOUT
A 1600 FT TRACK HERE. IT'S ABOUT
20 FT WIDE, SO IT'S A REAL
RACING EXPERIENCE IS A LOT OF
ROOM TO PASS ABOUT, 14 TURNS AND
MULTIPLE ELEVATION CHANGES PER
LAP. AND TELL ME A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THE GO KARTS THEMSELVES.
HE TOLD ME THAT THERE'S BEEN
SOME CHANGES RECENTLY. WELL,
WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR OVER FOUR
YEARS, AND WHEN WE STARTED, WE
HAD GAS POWERED CARTS, AND NOW
WE'VE ADDED ELECTRIC CARTS.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID
THIS YEAR, AND THE ELECTRIC CART
IS A FANTASTIC PRODUCT FOR
FAMILY FUN BECAUSE WE CAN PUT
THE WHOLE FAMILY OUT TOGETHER
WITH THAT SPEED CONTROL I
MENTIONED AND WITH THE TORQUE OF
THE ELECTRIC. WE CAN HAVE PEOPLE
OF ALL SIZES LONG AS YOU'RE 54
INCHES OR TALLER. THE FAMILY CAN
GO OUT, AND THAT'S USUALLY 19
YEARS OLD HITS THAT HEIGHT
REQUIREMENT AND TELL ME A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THE FAMILY GO KARTING
EXPERIENCE THAT PEOPLE CAN DO.
WELL WITH OUR GAS POWERED CARTS
. WE HAD DIFFERENT CARDS FOR
DIFFERENT SIZE PARTICIPANTS AND
SO BY GETTING THE FAMILY OUT
TOGETHER, MOMS, DADS, OLDER
SIBLINGS, YOUNGER SIBLINGS, THEY
CAN ALL GO OUT TOGETHER, COMPETE
AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR BRAGGING
RIGHTS AT BEST LAP TIME, AND
THAT TYPE OF THING, BRAGGING
RIGHTS. WE LOVE THOSE, AND I
KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, WINTER BREAK
HAS BEEN, UH, GOING ON. FAMILIES
HAVE BEEN OFF KIDS HAVE BEEN OFF
FROM SCHOOL. HOW MANY PEOPLE
HAVE YOU HAD COMING HERE AND
TAKING PART IN THIS OVER THE
LAST WEEK OR SO WELL BETWEEN
CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S. IT'S
ALWAYS THE BUSIEST WEEK OF THE
YEAR. PEOPLE LOVE TO GET OUT AND
DO SOMETHING FUN. AND, YES,
WE'RE INDOORS. WE'RE OPEN YEAR
ROUND WILL BE OPEN NOON TO 10 PM
TODAY THROUGH MONDAY, SO GREAT
OPPORTUNITY TO COME OUT AND GIVE
IT A TRY. AND WITH NEW YEAR'S
EVE, OF COURSE, WE KNOW THAT
WE'RE EXPECTING SOME RAIN IN
THAT TIME FRAME. UM YOU KNOW,
WHAT'S YOUR WHAT'S YOUR PUSH TO
PEOPLE? IF THEY'VE NEVER GO
CARDED BEFORE? YOU KNOW WHY TRY
IT NOW? WELL OBVIOUSLY WE'LL BE
OPEN RAIN OR SHINE BECAUSE WE'RE
INDOORS AND YOU KNOW, WE BRING A
TRUE RACING EXPERIENCE TO THE
PERSON WITH NO EXPERIENCE AND
THAT'S OUR GOAL. WE DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO KEEP YOU
SAFE. WE'VE EVEN PAINTED THIS
ORANGE STRIPE ON THE TRACK SO
THAT IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH
THE TRACK, YOU JUST FOLLOW THE
ORANGE LINE AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE
GOING THE RIGHT DIRECTION. YEAH
IT'S SO FUNNY BECAUSE I WAS
FOLLOWING THE ORANGE LIKES. I'VE
NEVER BEEN TO THIS TRACK BEFORE.
DO YOU KEEP YOUR LIKE TIRES ON
THE LEFT HAND SIDE ON THE ORANGE
LINE. THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. HOW
DO YOU MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T
TOKYO DRIFT INTO A WALL. RIGHT
WELL, YOU CAN ACTUALLY JUST
CENTERLINE IT SO YOU CAN DRIVE
RIGHT ALONG THE ORANGE LINE. THE
KEY WAS WE DIDN'T WANT A SHARP
RIGHT TURN OR LEFT, TURN TO
SNEAK UP ON SOMEBODY AND HAVE
THEM GO INTO FAST AND CRASHED
INTO A WALL. SO IF YOU FOLLOW
THAT ORANGE LINE, EVEN IF YOU'RE
OVER DRIVING WHEN YOU GET INTO
THAT TURN IF YOU TRY TO HANG
ONTO THE LINE, WORST CASE,
YOU'RE GOING TO SLIDE OUT THE
BACK END. BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO DRIVE STRAIGHT INTO A WALL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT COMING
UP. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE
BIT MORE ON SOME OF THE OTHER
FUN THINGS YOU CAN DO HERE AT
FOX WOODS AS WE APPROACH NEW
YEAR'S EVE AND NEW YEAR'S DAY,
BECAUSE BELIEVE ME, GO KARTING
IS JUST ONE. IT'S A FAST ONE.
IT'S A FUN ONE, WHICH IS ONE OF
MANY AMAZING THINGS YOU CAN DO
HERE. BUT FOR NOW, WE'LL SEND IT
BACK TO YOU GUYS. I LOVE IT, AND
I LOVE THAT YOU'RE IN YOUR
LEATHER AT THE GO KART TRACK.
YOU ARE READY TO GO, GIRL. AND I
ALSO LOVE HOW IT DIDN'T FAZE YOU
WHEN HE WAS LIKE YOU WON'T DRIVE
STRAIGHT INTO A WHILE. YOU'RE
LIKE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
TIME. SHE'S
