I don't believe it's been unofficially decided, so it may be time to put it to a vote and see what kind of interest there is to have a pre-race gathering at 4:00p. Choices are:
Yea thats what I meant. I know it said MoS but everyone else was saying different places. Wegmans is good by me. And like CmdrVimes said

If possible I'd like to add One for Watching with me. My dad wants to tag along but doesn't want to drive. So my dad would like to come and watch if its possible.

Thanks

About 500 yards from MoS. MoS is on Pacific Blvd, Wegmans is on Columbia Pl. Columbia Place is a road off of Pacific Blvd, Pacific Blvd is also maybe a half mile long.

Specifically: Wegmans is Located Here
Directions: Wegmans to MINI of Sterling

I would love to go to this, just to take pictures... But I think getting off from work at 4 would be cutting it close. I'd never make it to Wegmans in time.

NEWBIE Question

I am very new to the form and DCMM. Can someone help out a fellow American down on his luck? What is a g0-kart day? Is it a race? Against the clock or other cars? Do I need a modified Mini to drive one? Is it on sometype of race track near MoS? Can you just go and watch? thanks

Go-Kart Day is Go-Kart Day. Its not MINIs is like Go-Karts like you loved to drive as a little kid. And we will most likely be racing eachother around the track. The track is not far from MoS at all maybe a few minutes down the road. Hope this helps.
