Been to that track before. Yes it's fun. But what I don't like and this is common with other indoor go kart tracks is the karts themselves vary in state of tune/response. I found on one kart the throttle response/power delivery to be sluggish yet when I get on a different kart, it's much better. And it's not just my butt dyno saying this. My lap times also show the change.

Yes, it'll be cool to get together with the crew to play around.

As zx10guy pointed out, my experience has been the same, the karts are completely random how they are set up. I have race indoors as well as outdoors, race gas, propane and electric and lap times are all over the place, depending on the car you get at the time and I have gotten different cars during the day and racing with the family, you lap time will depend on the car you have at a given time.

This location is in Manassas, VA . The carts are electric and the two that I drove seemed to be exactly the same, my laptimes were consistent as well. They start you at 50% power for the first 2 laps, 75% for next 1, and then the rest you're at 100% power.
