they changed their name recently, past year?
[edit]At least a year ago, they changed their name to Tampa Bay Grand Prix. This was probably an effort to confuse people with another company with an extremely similar name in St. Petersburg, FL. www.tampabaygp.com who has REAL racing go-karts and non of the other junk.
Article's Houston claims appear incorrect.
[edit]According to this (and even this), there is no mention that all three were employees. In fact, it directly disputes what the Wikipedia article claims by saying there was only one former employee, but they stabbed three (or four) other employees. Also, I cannot find a reputable reference saying that the Prix closure was related to the murders, though that certainly may be the case. It still is conjecture without a statement of proof. Does anyone disagree? MagnoliaSouth (talk) 08:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Houston didn't close due to the murders
[edit]As a former Manager of a Malibu Grand Prix location (not Houston), the location continued to thrive after the murders. I was aware of only one of the murderers being a former disgruntled employee. The location closed eventually due to declining revenue (not related to the murders, related to the advance of home gaming systems Nintendo, Sega etc) and more importantly as several other locations the end of the property lease.

What order are these listed in?
[edit]The order these are listed in is non-obvious. Any significant changes to order possibly could use some discussion because ordering them by state then city would probably be best done if they were labeled "Ohio - Cincinnati (Sharonville)" and that seems like some effort (that I don't have time for at the moment). Headers for states seems like too much structure, and all the other options I came up with just didn't seem much better than this random order. If I get a chance I'll swap them around like I suggest above in the next few weeks. If anyone else has a thought, feel free to do it though.
