I know when we were there a few of us talked about having another meet, but this time renting out the place. I think it worked out to needing like 15 people and $80 a person or something like that and we would get the place from like 10/11 until 2pm.

Now, Allthough $80 sounds like alot of $$, like 10 of the people there last time spent $60 on like 40 laps. I worked out their prices and basically it's like $1.32 a lap and your slowest lap time is 45 seconds. Taking that into consideration, in 4 hours if you ran non-stop, you'd get like 180 laps in. So is it worth it....VERY MUCH SO.

Now, before we try bookig anything, who would SERIOUSLY be interested in doing this? People that come to mind are...

1) Mike
2) Iceotron (Carl)
3) Hamill (Dan)
4) Mavrickflyer (Mark)
5) Muskokn (Eric)
6) Timeless420 (Evan)
7) cawong11 (Chris)


Potential female participants...

1) Carls1bitch (Cheryl)
2) Shadowcat (Christina)
3) Christine

anyone else SERIOUSLY interested?

I'm thinking mid-late November on this one (just not the weekend you are all going away).

I'd be down.

I'm gonna send an email to Formula Kartways and get some pricing. I'll let you all know what they say.

Mike

Cool, thanks man

I'd go for that.

And the more people that come the cheaper it would be.

What is the max number of people on the track 14?

PS: I call dibs on car #19

I don't think they'll let us have 14 cars at once, but even if we ran like bracket racing....7 people for 25 laps, alternate to next 7 at 25 laps.

Then break it down....

Top 7 fastest race against each other, then slower 7 for 25 laps.

then mix it up guys vs girls, teams 3 on 3, fastest team to finish. etc...it could be fun :)

E-mail sent.

I'll post it up here when I hear back from them.

Mike

Thats cool, as long as the same person doesn't hog the fastest karts every race. The first 20 laps I did, I was ready to come off after 5 laps and change karts.

Well, they got back to me quicker than I thought.

Heres what he said:

From what I gather we would get 20 practice/qualifying laps and 2 25 lap races for $85+tax.

So, now we need to decide if thats what we want to do.

so 70 laps for $85...that's $0.92 a lap....better than $1.32 we were paying.

We also have a shot at trophies

What if we get 20? Their prices were based on 11 people right[Q] Cost per participant is $85.00 + GST (based on a minimum 11) [/q]

Lets see if we can get 11 together first. If we can get more, then i'll email him back and ask for further discounts.

Remember, we need CONFIRMED attendees. None of this, "yeah, i'll be there", then you dont show up bull$%&#. We're gonna be on the hook for money if people don't show up. So if you say you're gonna be there, you better be there.



Mike

For us Americans , where is this place?

About 4 hours from the Windsor/Detroit border.

Mike

find a place closer and i might have to come show ya how to race

Not likely. These are the best karts around. So if you want to, "show us how to race", its gotta be there. (I love this emoticon!)

Mike

Yeah jaged! R U Scared???

ummm no, im probably gonna win the street mod class for my auto x region. i just cant justify driving 9 hrs go karting, if it were in detroit/windsor id be all over it. You of all people Mav should know this from "the thread" talk

likehttp://www.kart2kart.com

I Just buggin Ya! Shesss, Relax!

Remind me, In auto X, your the only one on the track right, Traffic is a bitch!

I figured your giving me a hard time so i had to give ya some back but yeah your the only one on the track in an autox, but finding your way through the cones can be a bitch as well. There are 2 pro kart tracks in Indy by my buddies place that i go to. ones a 2 level track and one is flat.

I was thinking of turning my Mustang into a solo 1 car but I would be in the highest catagory, and those guys are professionals.

I can't give a firm yes to this one...Due to my current employment (or lack of) situation, I kinda wanna keep my costs as little as possible now. But if anything changes, I'm all over it!

We might be doing this in March, check out The thread on Newcougar.org, Ontario section!

We can probably un-sticky this now...
