I was searching around the island (on Google Earth, hey, I'm a map guy) and I see this funny looking area. It turns out there's a Go Carting track just south of Grand Case. Has anyone on TTOL ever been there?

I've been by it many times, but never went go carting. It's behind the gas station leaving Grand Case heading to Marigot.

Bummer. Now that I look closer at the aerial photo I see what looks like debris all over the track.

I always thought of driving on the roads of St. Maarten as “Carting on SXM”

Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

Exactly! In certain areas Bill says it's like being in a video game!

Well that's the beauty of a track, nobody is coming AT you, hopefully. I just thought it would be fun. Maybe they'll restore it someday.
