To me, I reckon making a track from any place in KL is easy. The most important thing is planning, and authority. How shall we start off? Who shall we look for or to discuss with; if we are to do something like this? All these questions have to be answered first, before we planned a track layout..
presumably it would be MBPJ or DBKL (in conjunction with PDRM?) who is the authority we need approval from. But to hel facilitate the red tape, perhaps we could approach a body like MAM?
I would really love to see a karting track near The Curve, IKEA and Ikano area. There are a couple of open lands well suited for a karting track but then again the land would be expensive. Imagine how much the crowd would be and how many potential new ‘addicts’ will come 😉 . I think its a great place to put a track.
i think the first step is to talk to the various municipalities. the proposition is being a crowd puller – which i think is always a great thing for town councils in general. let’s discuss this at saturday’s FOUNDATION meeting.

Interestingly, when I bought a condo unit near the Curve from Sunway Bhd, the sales mgr mentioned to me that the big piece of land next to Dataran Sunway in Kota Damansara (not too far from Original Kayu where we had the 2008 AGM) was going to be the new location of Sunway Extreme Park, which includes a kart track among other things, and also a petting zoo.
Not sure what happened to the idea, if it is still planning stage, or shelved altogether.
This would be a great location…next to a huge commercial area (one of the largest in the country encompassing Dataran Sunway, The Strand, Giant Hypermarket) and within the Kota Damansara/Tropicana area where many karters including yours truly live..so large buying area to tap…plus it’s very close to Sri KDU and SEGI college….
Anyway, let me check with someone in Sunway on this….

Yeah, and have you seen how the Formula 1 mothers race around the roads surrounding the school 😉[quote=saa73][quote=hanifcd]I would really love to see a karting track near The Curve, IKEA and Ikano area.
