Less than half size. All 9.0hp RX-7 karts for adults(our current superkarts), no 6.5hp.

1 (short/fast?) track, adults and juniors altenate

Probably happening this fall, end of summer at the earliest.

Another track will be opening in fredricksburg as well, probably within 6mo - year of the new vb location. Don't have any info on that location, however.

the portsmouth loc will go outta business! LMAO.

seriously though... im sure the new location is already locked in and all, but i bet the old HQ near town center would have been an awesome location sized and accessibility wise.

either way, having one on this end will definitely make me a lot more likely to go waste some money over at AIK! lol

They should put it in the Steve and Barry's that closed down and add on some space. That way after blowing all your money in the mall, you can hand over 20 more dollars for an 8 minute race where you get in trouble for bumping. That's the ticket.

Overhead is one of the biggest concerns and main reasons for moving. Going to a smaller building signiicantly cuts down on many items (rent, utilities, personel, etc.) but heading to the beach is logical as roughly 40% of the members are in the beach, not to mention tourists. Combine the two and the end result is better profits to not only stay afloat in this economy, but make more money for future ventures

Most likely, the Portsmouth store will close when the move occurs...

As for "shoulda moved here, or there" everything in the beach is expensive, but everything was considered. Many a months of looking went into this and for now, the lynhaven location best fit the wants and needs for the small company. 5 years was spent in portsmouth, it's always possible that they may out grow the lynhaven store in a few years as well
