They're long enough that you;re arms will be wore-out after the first one from controlling the car. I think like 8-9 minutes long. I'm usually sore the next day or two after karting but I'm out of shape

I just did 3-10lap sessions last weekend at NJMP with a 12lap finisher and I felt pretty good afterwards. I was barely sore the next day, little bit in the arms and my lower back. I try to hit the gym almost every work day though.
So 8-9 minute sessions would tell me there around 20laps a piece or so? How long is the track? It's in-doors no?

*you're = your... too early on a monday for me.

Laps are around the 32-36 second range depending on how fast/slow you are. Its all indoors and there should be some pretty good drivers there since its an SCCA gathering. NOt to mention its all car guys.

I really want to try the kart course @ NJMP out, from the pics I've seen it looks pretty bad ***. How fast are they?

They go pretty quick. We were on a course that was .48 of a mile and my fastlap was right around 46sec I think. Keep in mind it was wet, but we did get somewhat of a dry line towards the end. The brakes were almost non-existant and I wore out my right front (it went flat as I took the checkers on my last lap)
here's the link, we were on the Avenger course. http://njmp.com/tracks.html#

I really enjoyed it, it's kind of expensive but you do get a lot of seat time. Sounds like the SCCA thing is similar to this in terms of seat time...
