Go-Karting Hume $UX

Recommended Posts

Go-Karting went well last Friday night at Hume 'SuperKarts' along with J-Racing. Disappointingly, the man who was in charge was a complete A$$H^$# to us. All the feedback that I have received were all the same, I mean we all had a good night and all especially in the wet but this guy certainly made the night a low. He was rude, hot tempered, and was evident that he showed no respect towards his customers. Considering the amounts of times I have visited in the past, I am very disappointed along with many other people and do not recommend 'Superkarts' in Hume to anybody else. But, I do thank the staff who were very helpful & friendly and I hope their employer do learn from his employees.

Does anyone else know any other Go-Karting places around Canberra as we want this to be a regular event. I know there is one in Fyshwick and I look forward to visit there in the very near future along with people who are interested to join us.

I've been going to Hume for ages too, and I've never had a bad experience with them. Maybe you just got him on an off day?

There used to be a place in Mitchell but it went bust many years ago. There is a dirt go-karting place down the sth. coast which is pretty cool, but a long way to drive! :D

I'm disappointed to hear your experience was so bad at Hume, but did anyone tell you that the day after your bad experience, the business went under new ownership?

I recall that exact evening - I was one of the new owners and we arrived to finalise all of the paperwork for our takeover of the business on 22 February.......

Give us, the new owners, a chance. If you have reason to not believe me about the new ownership, please feel free to ask any number of regulars - most of them are familiar with us now and are aware of it, and although coincidental, took place the day after your bad experience.

Director, Superkarts

I like hume coz its got more space, the fyshwick carts are good, but its cramped and a lap only takes 26-28secs at the very most, its fun, but hume is definately a less repetitive track, i must go there again, i never have any cash lol

    • G30-770. So long as you're talking engine horsepower, and not some bullshit wheel/axle/mystery horsepower.
    • It's a lottery, no one is going to be able to predict how much HP YOUR engine is going to handle as history has a huge part to play.    As examples though. I have one rb26 on 630rwhp, running 16 years now at that level, track use, only a couple of times a year.  Another 790rwhp, about 2 years now, driven every weekend.    If i was to give you a "safe" number I would say 450rwhp on 98 and 550-600 on e85.  Seen plenty of motors pop with less though too      
    • Fair play on the 120k, sorry just live in nanny Aus.  High rpm on cruise would kill me too.    On the gears, its not just first, so beside the fact I really enjoy that nice punch you get when you accel in first. 2nd is all messed up in the gearsets too. Most people I know with gearsets(even sequentials) have to drop into 1st for tarmac rally slower corners as second gear is too low in rpm, its painful. Translate to the street, I am using a 2.3 gear out of a low speed turn, gearset you got a 1.7 second. I can tell you now between my two cars which one is a LOT more fun.    On a track its a different story, once the car is moving the gearset ratios are supreme, 1st gets you going on a big rpm launch, then 2nd is no issue for the corner speed on most tracks.    Yer the price sucks  , old enough to remember these selling for $1500usd here in Aus. 
    • Will mainly be steering the car as tracking it in China would reduce its value a lot and mines a near mint condition v spec 2. Just weighing out the options for the next improvement. Thanks 
    • Thanks for the info. With the 2.8L stroker kit what would be the best single turbo setup for around 700-750 drivable horsepower? As I think after that it’s going to be very aggressive power delivery.
