Arthur was a terrific host. It was a very special occasion in the heart of the city riding with karts.

Vroom vroom!! This ain’t your grandma’s go kart!

My partner and I had so much fun!! We didn’t think we’d go as fast as we did but we sure gave some cars a run for their money. Sharon was really cool with her navigating and made the whole journey very enjoyable.
