Reading about all this go-karting brought to mind this place in Sterling, VA. It's best to rent out the whole place although it takes a fair deposit ($500 IIRC) and isn't cheap ($60/person for 25 people). I've been there for a friend's bachelor party and for an SCCA membership meeting - it's a blast and the closest experience to racing without the investment. The only caveat is that these aren't kiddie karts so they frown upon any contact - so much so that if you hit, you're parked in a penalty box and if you do it again, you get to go home.
