I'm pretty sure that is the Grass Kart Facility up the Bells Line Road, Kurmond or somewhere near there. It's on the right hand side as you travel west from North Richmond.

Been a few years since I've actually done it with the kids but it really was a hoot, an absolute blast. I highly recommend it to one and all and from memory it wasn't all that expensive..

As the body get older, the chances of injury are greater and I must admit to recoiling a bit when they came off the cart, presumably they were protected by the cloak of youth (we didn't really see the un-edited consequences of the "offs").

Could you pre-book an ambulance?

Do they have brakes? I would need brakes ..... or gears.

I concur Bluey but there are other factors at play.

 As we get older we (or at least some of us) get heavier. As I pointed out to my daughter who was mocking me when I gave up horse riding a few years ago. She weighed 50kg and I weighed 100 kg and as  Mr Newtons second law of motion tells us  l would hit the ground twice as hard as what she would when we fell off. Simple physics!
