What track do you think takes more skill to win at Dallas or Houston?

[@aaronflores21af]

Which track do you think maintains there karts better like handling, speed and such? And last question what track do you have more fun at lol?

[@megmo1]

Dallas Karting Complex has 5 track configurations. So far, I’ve only seen 3 used for League racing. Lone Star (Ft. Worth) only 1 configuration. Houston Karting Complex, 4 configurations. After attending many races, the tracks can be learned well.
Speedsportz in Houston, however, has 16 track configurations. And the league configuration isn’t announced until the drivers meeting. There is only 1 configuration that you can practice on, that is the regular concession track.
So, I would have to say Speedsportz league races take the most adaptability and skill.

All the tracks do the best they can to keep the karts up to par. The mechanics work constantly trying to keep up. The problem is these karts are also used for the public concession runs. And some folks don’t really need to be driving that fast. Some come wanting to crash with their buddies, others just can’t yet handle it. And it doesn’t take long to damage the karts.
During league races, everyone knows there is a chance of pulling a dud.
Speedsportz lets the computer assign karts randomly. Which is fine, but they run all classes together and don’t do rolling starts. A heavy like myself will just watch 5 Lightweights swallow the field at the start. I try to pay attention to what karts other Heavies are in, so I have an idea who I am racing. Heavies minimum weight there is 220, which gives me a fighting chance. I am thankful for that.
Dallas assigns them as they are parked. After a few races the karts are parked fast to slow, so you are going to have to work to gain any positions. And their Heavy Class minimum weight is 190lbs….?? Slim chance for a 225 lb driver.
Lone Star, like Dallas assigns them as they are parked. And Heavy Class minimum is 190 lbs.
Houston Karting Complex karts are assigned by each driver pulling a poker chip with a kart number from a can. In my opinion, this is the fairest method. No complaints or gripes. “You pulled the number.” They have rolling starts and Heavy Class starts at 225 lbs. I dig it.

I don’t think I can put my finger on the “most fun” track.
Lately I have really been enjoying DKC South track. Because it is somewhat new, I suppose. But, low weight minimum and kart drawing method, I’m pretty much doomed to mid-pack.
