Excellent, I am in!!!!!!
Hope to see more of my fellow MINIs joining in the fun. After all we are the ones that drive full sized karts everyday.

 

Sheridan,
Thanks for posting this. I will make it a sticky so that it stays at the top of the forum.

come on where is everyone?

 

I think I am gonna be there.... do you know how much it will cost? but yeah I'm all for some karting.

 

I think it was $33 for the races and + $4 if you are using one of the helmets from the facility but here is the rest of the info from the registration site

We will be doing two ten minute races, yes, I said races. Unlike driving schools and track days, this IS a race and passing is allowed in the turns!

11:00AM - Sign in, get your helmet, chat a bit.
11:10 AM - Drivers meeting, we will review the rules and then set the first run group off. We will draw numbers to decide which run group you will be in and which cart you will drive each session.

Full face helmets with visor and neck braces are required, so bring your own or there are many good rentals available. Balaclava are required for rental helmets

Do wear jeans and a 'dirty' sweater for when you are karting. Don't wear anything that you would be worried about getting greasy. You will smell like gas, your hands will get dirty, so wear gloves if this is a problem. They have a bathroom where you can change and clean up. There is a nice waiting area with couches, TV, vending machines with drinks, an arcade and pool table area. Segway rides and motion theater passes are also available.

After we've finished our races (12:15-12:30), we will be heading to a pub for food and drinks so stick around for that. Some of the track junkies will even be going back for a second helping of karting after lunch.

 

I should be there, maby sporting my new rims

 

just make sure you register before you go. I think the price is based on how many people we get.
This is a BMWCCAMVC event I am not in full control of it.

 

I was thinking I had to work so I would miss it. We have Bruce Bruce at the funnybone. I am now ago cus' it's in the morning.

 

Registration complete!

 

Nice Mark!

 

Sounds like fun but I will be in sunny Hawaii at that time. Let me know how it goes. Would be nice if someone can make a video of it. Have fun...

 

Keep 'em coming....we need more people !!!

Let's see a great showing of those DOT go-karts !

Mike I picked up a flip video ultra a couple of days ago. It will do a great job for karting. Additionally, I have a MiniDV camera as well.

 

Thanks for coming out. It was great seeing old-new friends and making new ones.

Till next time, Keep Motoring !!!
